Sandy Ewert spent a decade in the classroom before she became a school counsellor and, eventually, a private-practice family and child therapist. She's coached hundreds of kids through the exact thing every family is living through right now — and this September, for the first time, she's doing it as a parent herself, with a son about to start kindergarten and a six-month-old at home. In this episode, we get into what actually helps a kid get through a hard transition, what a school counsellor really does all day, and the honest answer to whether "knowing too much" makes the back-to-school season any easier. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (01:52) Sandy's path: a decade as a teacher, now a school counsellor and private-practice family therapist (03:37) Coming at back-to-school as a parent, not just a professional, for the first time (08:10) What a school counsellor actually does (and why the job is "on fire on roller skates") (12:35) When "good enough" isn't good enough — advocating for kids who look fine on paper (16:14) "Tell me more": a phrase that actually gets a kid talking (25:44) Building a family toolkit that's dependent on your specific kid (27:02) The "yellow zone" — catching dysregulation before the meltdown (27:40) The "dress rehearsal": practicing for the first day, and why preparation is the antidote to anxiety (35:14) After-school reconnection, and why "how was your day?" is the wrong opener (37:29) The blood sugar rule every parent needs before pickup (38:29) Movement and reading what a kid actually needs (47:48) Letting kids struggle enough to feel capable, without over-parenting (54:56) The signs it's time to bring in a family counsellor (01:04:53) What is Sandy trying to figure out KEY TAKEAWAY Preparation is the antidote to anxiety — rehearse the hard transition before it happens instead of hoping you survive it. When the big feelings show up anyway, meet them with connection, not another question. About Sandy Ewert Sandy has spent nearly two decades supporting children and families first as a teacher and now as a counsellor both in private practice and within the school system. During her time in education, she has spent time in a variety of roles including specialized behaviour support program teacher, special education teacher and currently school counsellor. Sandy is most passionate and ignited by walking along side children in finding their voice and living life as their most authentic and best lives. She describes her work in private practice as a “Children’s life coach.” Sandy believes that her purpose is to be a conduit between adults and children, helping adults to better understand each individual child for who they truly are without the desire to change them. 💌 email Sandy: sandy.dhami@gmail.com About Andrea Barr, host of All Figured Out: Andrea is a certified career and life coach for parents.

🛍️ USE CODE ALLFIGUREDOUT20 TO GET 20% OFF AT marisdae.com Dr. Sarah Harbottle has one of those resumes that seems impossible on paper: naturopathic doctor, lawyer, mom of four, clinic owner, and head of product at Maris Dae. She didn't plan any of it — she once thought she'd become a conventional doctor, then spent seven years as a lawyer instead, before a decision at 32 sent her back to school to become a naturopathic doctor. What she didn't plan for was how much life would happen in the middle of that degree. In this episode, we get into the identity crisis of a total career pivot, what actually kept her going through the hardest years of school, her naturopathic take on skin health, and whether your workout might be doing more harm than good. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (01:18) Lawyer, naturopathic doctor, mom of 4, clinic owner, head of product at Maris Dae, founder of Parave (02:56) Back to the beginning — why she almost became a conventional doctor (03:02) Discovering naturopathic medicine in the early 2000s (05:04) Choosing law instead, and finding her way into health law (07:14) Going back to school at 32 (08:11) The long nights: studying until 1am and nursing all night (08:42) The identity crisis of the career pivot — "who am I now?" (10:32) Was there ever a moment it felt too hard? (11:45) "I'm on the other side of the mountain" — what kept her going (12:22) Life now: running her own practice and practicing law, simultaneously (14:55) Advice for anyone sitting on a decision they haven't made yet (16:44) How joining Maris Dae actually happened (18:41) Skin is the largest organ — what that actually means for your health (19:35) Sarah's approach to skin: internal first, external second (20:54) Why skin is having such a cultural moment right now (24:07) Redefining self-care in 2- and 5-minute increments (26:06) Can a workout be too intense? (28:38) The "bubbling pot" — and the one question to ask before saying yes to anything (31:12) Who wearable data actually helps — and who it doesn't (35:50) What Sarah is still figuring out: ambition vs. being present for her kids (36:41) Self-care as the non-negotiable foundation everything else depends on (38:36) Where to find Dr. Sarah Harbottle KEY TAKEAWAY When the question in front of you is "can I do this right now?" — make the decision. Do that enough times in a row, and you end up somewhere no five-year plan could have mapped out for you.

🛍️ USE CODE ALLFIGUREDOUT20 TO GET 20% OFF AT marisdae.com Sam Rayner spent over a decade climbing the corporate marketing ladder — AG Hair, Lululemon, an MBA, a job offer from a massive global conglomerate she turned down on gut instinct alone. Then life did what life does: both her parents died of cancer within a short window of each other and she went through multiple failed rounds of IVF. Somewhere along the way, her mom’s words became her mantra — “you need to live life harder”, which led Sam to build Better Basics and now her new brand, Maris Dae, a marine-hydration skincare line built around a proprietary seaweed extract sourced and processed entirely in BC. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (03:48) Corporate girly Sam — her marketing career (05:44) Turning down a massive global job offer on gut instinct alone (09:37) "My break will be maternity leave" — and when that plan didn't pan out (13:53) Her mom's dying words: "you need to live life harder" (15:50) How she was able to have her two kids (20:03) Losing both parents to cancer — and what that taught her about control (20:55) Where the idea for Better Basics came from (25:14) Growing Better Basics for three years (25:53) "We were basically bleeding cash" (26:44) Investor pitches, and doing it all in her third trimester (30:13) Calling it a pause — and selling out in 30 days (31:54) Teaching product design and brand strategy at SFU (36:26) The 35 customer interviews that led to Maris Dae (38:27) Finding a seaweed farmer and building the Maris Element (44:57) Inside the body wash + body serum (50:57) What's next: gut-health supplements and a gentler kids' formula (54:04) Competitors, community, and why she's not trying to own the whole shelf (58:00) Her advice for living life harder (1:01:05) Where to find Maris Dae KEY TAKEAWAY Closing something isn't the same as failing at it. Sam built Better Basics with everything she had, and when it stopped making sense, she shared with her community, gave herself a deadline and called it a pause instead of an ending. And her fertility journey took some extra love as well. A failure means the book is closed, but a pause means the door stays cracked open ready for a different path life will take. About Sam Rayner Samantha Rayner is the Founder and CEO of Maris Dae, a science-backed skin and gut health brand powered by BC sea algae. After two decades in beauty and wellness brand leadership, she partnered with a biochemist and naturopathic doctor to develop the Maris Element, an exclusive extract of Mazzaella Japonica and bull kelp sourced from Vancouver Island. Maris Dae's debut body care line launched in May 2026 and sold out twice. Rayner is a second-time founder, Business in Vancouver 40 Under 40 honoree, and Techstars alum who previously founded Better Basics and led teams at Saje, lululemon, and AG Care.

Courtney Thomas, founder of the Bodhi Effect sits down with Andrea for a vulnerable conversation — the kind we love here at All Figured Out! Courtney tells the full, unfiltered origin story of The Bodhi Effect: miscarriages, a yoga studio built and run on almost no sleep alongside a full-time corporate job, and a name that came from a goosebump-inducing story. From there, she and Andrea get into what intuition actually is, how to tell it apart from anxiety and intrusive thoughts, why "I'm just not an intuitive person" doesn't hold up, and why Courtney’s own Oura Ring ended up in the garbage. Courtney also introduces her new Flow Writing Collection — a journal and oracle card deck built from a practice she's been leading in her community since 2021. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (03:45) Vulnerability vs. trauma dumping — how Courtney tells the difference (06:21) Who Courtney was before The Bodhi Effect (07:44) Five miscarriages, a busy schedule, and the studio that came out of grief (09:46) Where the name "Bodhi" actually came from (12:22) How she knew it was time to close the studio (20:31) What intuition actually is, in Courtney's own definition (22:00) Intuition vs. intrusive thoughts and anxiety — how to tell them apart (24:05) Andrea's own "full body yes" — the moment she decided to start this podcast (27:34) "How's that working out for you?" — for the people who say they're not intuitive (29:21) Andrea's Aritzia story: the shame of not having "the data" (33:28) Why hyper-measurement and hyper-optimization are quietly breaking us (45:21) Choosing a candle over ice cream — sitting with hard feelings instead of numbing out (53:26) What flow writing actually is, and the new Flow Writing Collection (59:43) Making wellness accessible (1:02:31) Rapid fire questions (1:06:55) What Courtney is still trying to figure out KEY TAKEAWAY Your intuition and your anxiety can feel like the same volume, but they're not the same voice. Intuition comes in fast, calm, and unforced — anxiety negotiates. The more you measure, track, and optimize, the harder that signal gets to hear. About Courtney Thomas Based in British Columbia, Courtney Thomas is an intuitive Mindfulness Coach with over ten years of experience. She specializes in guiding individuals back to their highest selves through personalized coaching, transformative workshops, courses, and retreats. Courtney skillfully combines diverse practices to unlock human potential and inspire a renewed sense of purpose.

Ten years ago, while working in leadership development at Aritzia, she hired a speaking coach because — despite getting great feedback — she wrote in her journal that she felt like she'd "lost her voice." That coaching relationship ended without ever quite clicking. It took almost a decade, and 150 episode of doing the actual thing, for the lesson to actually land: the ums, ahs, and pauses she wanted to fix, are the actual things that make her sound human, specially in 2026, when we’re second-guessing every audio, and video is AI-made or human-made. Andrea gets into the full speaking coach story, why paying for something is what really cements the intention, her client’s pottery goal as a case study in “doing the thing”, and the podcast’s own milestone numbers after four years! In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (01:51) The story starts at Aritzia in front of a room of 100 people (03:54) Losing confidence and losing my own voice (04:53) Hiring a speaking coach (07:14) The TED Talk lessons and why people like to hear humans (09:17) 150 episodes of practice and finally getting compliments on vocabulary (10:53) The real lesson: Pay the money, do the thing (11:35) The strawberry bowl case study (13:42) Podcast’s milestones: Four years, two kids, top 3% podcast (16:01) A love letter to my listeners 💜 KEY TAKEAWAY The investment is what makes the intention real, anyone can write a goal on a piece of paper, but not everyone is willing to put money behind it. You don’t need to have “all figured out” (pun intended), just keep showing up for it, on purpose, every week.

This is YAP number two — Andrea's back with her YAP co-host (and childhood pal) Lauren Naderi for round two of the unstructured, “whatever's-actually-on-our-mind” format. This time they gave it some shape: four categories, all starting with F — fun, fashion, feel good, and forensics. Inside: a TikTok dance so hard Andrea can't get through it in her garage, a Keds mystery nobody will take credit for, the exact line that might change how you get dressed tomorrow, frictionless home organization systems, and the shopping-app scandal they can't stop talking about. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (02:21) The four categories: fun, fashion, feeling good, forensics (04:58) For fun: the Puerto Rico dance trend that's harder than it looks (08:27) For fun: bringing back magazine subscriptions (13:59) For fashion: the pull-on pants midsummer check-in (and how to manage the wrinkles) (17:40) For fashion: the great Keds mystery — and are Keds actually making a comeback? (24:11) Dolce Vita sale sandals, personal style, and why saving your "good" clothes for later doesn't work (31:26) Dress for the day you wanna have (32:14) For feeling good: frictionless home organization and direct storage (41:06) For forensics: the TikToker who quit breastfeeding — and why neither host thinks she needs to apologize (48:37) For forensics: the Phia scandal — cookie stuffing, and affiliate fraud (55:27) What Lauren and Andrea are each figuring out this week KEY TAKEAWAY Not everything comes down to having a five-year plan, sometimes all it takes is a frictionless junk drawer, letting go of that “should” that never really made sense, or even wearing the good underwear on a random Tuesday! Dress, organize and show up for the day you actually want to have — not the one you think you're supposed to have. ABOUT LAUREN NADERI Lauren Naderi is the All Figured Out resident taste maker! She’s also an interior designer, brand strategist, and multi-passionate entrepreneur based in Toronto. She has a background in advertising and holistic nutrition, went back to corporate after having her daughter, left again, and eventually went all in on interior design.

This episode is a follow-up on the FOMO you feel once you become a parent. In this episode Andrea talks about what happens to your visibility once you’re a parent, and what’s in your control when it comes to still being seen, still growing, and not getting passed over. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (02:15) Why working parents lose visibility at work (03:41) The "yeses" you used to say without thinking — and why they disappear once you're a parent (04:49) The gendered layer: invisible work, and who gets credit for it (06:56) Andrea's own example: in the flow, then "back on the clock as mom" (08:21) Handing over the reins at work — does it need 120%, or is 100% okay? (09:46) The reframe: stepping into a new era of leadership (11:17) You're a better professional because you're a parent now (12:12) Why the best leaders are the least hands-on KEY TAKEAWAY Once you became a parent, you became more efficient, more experienced, and better equipped to lead. Step into the leadership you're already living at home, and let it show up at work too. About Andrea Barr, host of All Figured Out: Andrea is a certified career and life coach for parents.

This week's guest has been on the podcast twice before, once for infant sleep and once for toddler sleep, and this time the conversation just went wherever it wanted to go. We get into the calculated risk that let her build a private sleep-consulting practice instead of going back to a full-time job, the extended-health-benefits detail that changed the trajectory of her business, and what she wants every parent to know about sleep myths — like: there's no universal amount of sleep any kid "should" get, and there's no moral failing in a later bedtime. We also chat about her child’s recent autism diagnosis, what the private assessment process looked like, and how she processed it as a mom before she processed it as a professional. From there it's the Fair Play method revisited, a garbage-bag story that changed how one household splits invisible labor, a whiteboard life-planning session, and a long, honest conversation about friendship, hobbies, and what's next. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (03:37) Georgina’s story (04:36) Who she is today, and who she was before kids (07:03) The moment she knew her priorities had shifted (08:25) The 6-month runway: a calculated risk (11:01) Navigating people who chalk your success up to luck (14:39) Finding your niche: people pay for transformation, not a skill list (18:37) The biggest myth: not every kid needs the same amount of sleep (22:05) Trial and error, and giving yourself permission to experiment (24:02) The level 1 autism diagnosis (26:33) Building the right supports, at school and at home (29:18) Processing the diagnosis as a mom, not a professional (30:47) "You don't get a medal for doing it alone" (33:22) The first generation figuring out two working parents (35:39) The Fair Play method, revisited (40:38) Andrea and Scotty's whiteboard life-planning day (44:19) "It never works, but it's the backbone" (46:19) On friendship, low effort, and staying close from afar (47:11) What she's figuring out in this season (49:26) Redefining hobbies vs. self-care vs. running a business KEY TAKEAWAY Nothing here happened in one clean leap — not the business, not the parenting decisions, not the marriage. It's calculated risk and a lot of trial and error. Whether it's a business, a diagnosis, or a chore chart: you don't get a medal for doing it alone. Ask for the help. Make the invisible stuff visible. Let the plan change.

This episode was inspired by and Instagram story I shared about skipping a dinner party I really wanted to go to and how I KNEW before the photos came out, that I’d made the right call. So many of you reached out wanting more about this topic that I had to record an episode as fast as I could. We're talking about FOMO: what it actually is, why it gets so much heavier and more layered once you become a parent, and the three questions I ask myself — and my clients — before deciding if something's a hell yeah or a "not right now." In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (04:10) What we actually mean when we say "FOMO" (06:41) FOMO as a career coach: the career you might've had before kids (09:10) Why FOMO and time are inextricably connected (10:10) FOMO before kids vs. FOMO after kids (15:20) Your time away from kids "quota" — actual, and the psychological one you invent (16:54) FOMO and finances: what you're really risking (17:34) "If you say yes to this, what are you saying no to?" (19:42) What actually triggers FOMO (22:09) How to work with FOMO: creating a rhythm (31:21) Checking your ego vs. your soul (32:37) Commit and don't look back — why regret isn't allowed here (34:53) How to prevent it: choosing wisely (37:56) The 3 questions: factors, focus, and options KEY TAKEAWAY Before you say yes or no to anything, ask: what are the factors surrounding this? What am I focusing on right now? And what are my options beyond just "go or don't go"? Then commit, and don't look back — you're allowed to learn from a decision, you're never required to regret it.

A note on this episode → weight loss is a topic that can be triggering, and that's not lost on us. If today's episode isn't for you right now, it’s more than okay to skip this one. If you're in a season where food, body image, or weight feels like more than you can carry alone, visit nedic.ca for a free national helpline, and a directory of local providers. Weight loss has become a taboo topic, something that we almost whisper and talk about in secret, but it’s a topic that keeps showing up in nearly every conversation Dr. Ally Power and Liz Dornian have with the moms they work with. We get into what's actually driving the desire to lose weight, why "the middle ground" between restrictive dieting and total food freedom barely exists in the culture we're swimming in, what GLP-1s are actually doing for the right person, why biohacking makes two health professionals roll their eyes, and the specific, deep-seated shame of already knowing exactly what you're "supposed" to do — and still not doing it. This one is about feeling better in the one body you get. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (01:01) The topic we've never covered before: weight loss (02:58) Meet Dr. Ally Power: naturopathic medicine for moms (07:01) Meet Liz Dornian: from "nobody wants to hear about nourishment" to weight management (10:16) The real reason moms want to lose weight (15:17) What's actually in "the middle" between diet culture's two extremes (20:56) Moving through weight loss after a history of disordered eating (27:00) What too much restriction actually does to your hormones (33:30) GLP-1s: what they do, and who they're for (38:53) Are GLP-1s putting nutritionists out of business? (44:11) The problem with biohacking, and the unsexy advice that works (54:14) The shame of knowing exactly what to do — and still not doing it (59:33) Detective work, not diet rules: how Liz helps clients find the real problem (01:03:28) Andrea's career-coaching parallel: it's never really about the job (or the weight) KEY TAKEAWAY Weight loss isn't a moral failing or a finish line — it's hormones, behaviour change, and a lot of self-compassion. Most of us already know what to do. The real work is figuring out why we're not doing it, and getting curious about that instead of ashamed of it.

There's a phase of working motherhood that is underrepresented, everyone talks about the birth announcement, the first day back, but no one talks about all the messy stuff in between. We're talking about finding out you're pregnant three months into a new job. Being diagnosed with HELLP syndrome at 38 weeks and having your baby under general anesthesia in the span of 12 hours. Going off your ADHD medication during pregnancy. Taking nine months of mat leave. And returning to work while simultaneously moving cities, starting daycare, doing a renovation, and your husband switching jobs. It's a lot. We get into all of it — and the joy and complexities that threads through every single part. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (01:21) The working mom phase nobody's talking about (03:35) Career, Australia, and falling for an Australian (05:18) Getting pregnant 3 months into a new job (12:45) Going off ADHD meds and working through pregnancy (14:09) Miles comes early (14:48) HELLP syndrome: what it is and why nobody warns you (19:33) "He just appeared" (20:35) The guilt of no handover — and did it actually matter? (25:09) ADHD and new motherhood (27:36) The 9-month mat leave decision (33:45) The September of everything (38:08) Leaving at 4pm and the guilt that follows (39:48) What would actually fix this (46:43) Baby number two? (51:35) "I thank my ADHD for that" — and the EI plot twist nobody told her about (53:12) ADHD meds in pregnancy: what to know (54:25) The HELLP syndrome PSA + closing thoughts KEY TAKEAWAY The guilt is almost never warranted. The plan almost never goes as planned. And somehow, you figure it out anyway.

Andrea lives in Mississauga with her husband Curtis, their son Miles, and a deep appreciation for having grandparents just 300 metres down the road.

Okay, genuinely one of my favourite recordings. Lauren Naderi is one of my oldest friends — we’ve known each other since grade five, all-girls school in Ontario, class of 35. This is her first time on the show, and we are officially launching what I’m calling the “yap” format: no agenda, no lesson plan, just two millennial moms talking about the stuff that’s actually on our minds. Lauren is a designer and tastemaker with incredible range — she has thoughts on your wardrobe, your floor plan, and the emotional weight of having too many rooms you never use. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro + how Lauren and I know each other (grade five, all-girls school, class of 35) (04:00) Lauren’s non-linear career — advertising → holistic nutrition → interior design and why it all makes sense in retrospect (11:00) Postpartum anxiety, identity shifts, and what it actually feels like to lose yourself after having a baby (22:00) The “want less house” trend and where it’s coming from (24:00) Lauren’s move from a nearly 3,000 sq ft suburban house to a 900 sq ft city condo — with a toddler, on purpose (32:00) Why smart storage beats square footage every time (and what to actually spend money on in a reno) (41:00) Pull-on pants and the case for effortless mom dressing (50:00) What Substack is and why we’re both obsessed with long-form content right now (58:00) The yap format — what it is, why we’re doing more of it, and how to send us topics KEY TAKEAWAY The square footage you were told to want and the life you actually want to live are often two different things. Same goes for the career path that looks right on paper vs. the one that actually fits. You can absolutely question both! ABOUT LAUREN NADERI Lauren Naderi is an interior designer, brand strategist, and multi-passionate entrepreneur based in Toronto. She has a background in advertising and holistic nutrition, went back to corporate after having her daughter, left again, and eventually went all in on interior design. She works with clients on spaces that feel intentional — not just beautiful. She is also, as of this episode, the co-host of our yap format. Mom to an almost-four-year-old. Recently moved her family into a 900 sq ft condo and has zero regrets. Will take five pairs of pants to the tailor in a single trip.

🥞🥂JOIN THE BREAKFAST CLUB MEMBERSHIP: https://luma.com/allfiguredout Andrea takes you behind the scenes of her birthday Breakfast Club event in West Vancouver — 22 women, a DJ, mimosas, and a surprisingly powerful exercise. She walks you through the timeline + vision board activity she's been using with 1:1 coaching clients for years, and now finally brought to a group setting. It’s a way to make your big dreams feel real, grounded, actually achievable…and pretty. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (02:12) What I'm pondering: Substack — is it replacing social media? (09:50) What I'm loving: Chicken Caesar wraps - a reinvention (something like this ) (12:25) What I'm wearing: The H&M cotton tank that is NOT a racerback (14:32) The Breakfast Club May 28th recap — 22 women, DJ, mimosas, and birthday vibes in West Van (17:18) Why working moms need to zoom out and plan with a bigger timeline in mind (22:17) The origin story: how the timeline exercise was born in a VIP coaching day (26:38) How to do the timeline exercise yourself — step by step (28:04) Adding the vision board layer and why the combo is the magic (30:08) Why a vision without context won't work (and what the research says) (32:00) Why summer is the BEST time of year to do this exercise KEY TAKEAWAY A vision board without context is just wishful thinking. When you marry your big dreams with a concrete timeline — your kids' milestones, your age, your partner's retirement — your brain actually believes it's possible. And that belief is exactly what makes it happen. Related episode: 10.

The day before her 36th birthday, Andrea hits record alone and gets honest about the year that quietly changed everything. She made less money in coaching than she has in years — and has never felt more sure of herself. In this episode, she reflects on the four questions she was unknowingly working through all year, what happened in a somatic therapy session the day before turning 36, and why she's done keeping her confidence private. This one is for anyone who's been building something that doesn't make sense on paper yet, and doing it in that quiet, certain way that nobody talks about enough. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (00:30) Back on the mic after a travel season (01:43) The Breakfast Club: what it is and why it exists (03:15) Making less money and feeling the most certain she ever has (04:33) Why confidence has been sold to us all wrong (07:25) The four questions she was unknowingly asking herself all year (14:41) Meeting her therapist in person for the first time (15:40) The realization: confidence doesn't have to be private (17:37) Following the breadcrumbs (23:44) Celebrating 140 episodes, top 3% worldwide, and 50+ experts (25:26) The hard stuff: the financial trade-off, the doubt, and reconnecting with Scotty (26:07) What she'd tell herself a year ago (28:31) Birthday intention for 36 KEY TAKEAWAY Stop downplaying yourself!

To her surprise, over two million women were waiting for exactly that. Now she's a writer, speaker, mental health advocate, and the author of Honest Motherhood: On Losing My Mind and Finding Myself . In this episode, you’ll hear Andrea and Libby – two Canadian women who connected at the Mom 2.0 Summit in Austin, TX – having a very honest conversation about what’s not said enough about motherhood.

Alexandra Perel-Winkler is very proud of her MD title, she went to Columbia and worked hard for it, but she still decided to walk away from her prestigious research career to become a soul-centered coach and medicine woman. She’s the founder of The Mystic Medicine, where she explores what it looks like to bridge the gap between science and spirit. In this episode, Alexandra shares about her journey from rheumatology fellow to healer, her father's miraculous recovery from pancreatic cancer, and what happened when Andrea experienced a Mystic Medicine ceremony herself just 24 hours before recording this episode. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (03:15) The childhood yearning to be a healer (05:05) Growing up without language for healing outside of medicine (06:09) A mystical childhood: the stars, the moon, and subtle energies she couldn't explain yet (09:43) Finding Kabbalah (11:31) Why people of deep faith are actually some of her favourite clients to work with (16:33) Nutrition, yoga philosophy, and the microbiome: what she was studying that most MDs weren't (18:04) How her meditation practice and crystal collection both started in New York (22:42) Exploring functional medicine — and why it still wasn't quite it (25:57) Her father's inner knowing, Reiki and visualization (29:38) Why elite athletes use visualization — bridging woo and practical (30:32) Fighting for surgery and her father's unexpectedly strong response to chemo (36:06) What it means to be a "medicine woman" (39:32) The tools Alexandra weaves together (42:05) Andrea's SSRI journey and Alexandra’s take (45:24) The real question underneath: do I have the tools now to sit with discomfort?

People don't remember that." (01:09:11) Alexandra's reckoning with entrepreneurship and motherhood (01:11:00) Redefining what success looks like KEY TAKEAWAY Before you seek to heal anyone else, you really need to do your own healing first. Whether you're a working mom feeling disconnected from yourself, a high achiever whose body keeps sending signals you keep ignoring, or someone standing at an inflection point wondering who you are without the version of success you've built — the path back isn't through more logic. It's through reconnecting to the essential self you already know is there. About Alexandra Perel-Winkler, MD Alexandra Perel-Winkler is a soul-centered coach and medical doctor who blends science, spirit, and embodiment to help people reconnect with their body, heart, and soul.

TRIGGER WARNING: Eating disorders mentioned in the episode. Picture this: dinner time and you’re already dreading sitting at the dinner table, because you know you’re going to be stressed about your kid not eating enough protein, or being picky about what they want, even though they probably ate that chicken nugget 2 days ago, and loved it, but today is another struggle. Today, I’m sitting down with Soleina Karamali, a registered dietician, founder of Every Eater, and a mom of two, and she is here to completely reframe how we think about feeding our kids. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro (01:47) What it was like working in pediatric feeding before and after becoming a parent (05:14) Soleina's path to becoming a dietician: food, healthcare, and a mom who owned a café (06:48) Soleina’s relationship with food (07:38) Feeding your kids holds up a mirror to your own relationship with food (08:54) Starting solids with her first son: the humbling reality vs. the expert expectations (10:53) Why toddlers reject vegetables: the science of taste buds, neophobia, and independence (14:03) The Canadian Food Guide: what it's actually for (and why it's not a kids' tool) (15:17) Why your child biologically needs carbs as their main fuel source (19:48) Diet culture at the kids' table: protein pressure, macronutrient fads, and what to stop worrying about (23:54) Snacks as mini meals: how grazing is sabotaging dinner and what to do instead (27:42) Hemp seeds, iron, and the little shaker trick that gets more nutrients in without the battle (30:10) The dinner table as connection (31:34) Why "remaining unbothered" is your superpower (37:12) Baby-led weaning vs. purées: what Soleina actually recommends (39:05) Responsive feeding and Soleina’s son taught her (41:27) The milk conversation: cow's milk, plant-based options (46:46) The peak bone-building years (47:49) TW: Eating disorders mentioned (48:38) The Division of Responsibility framework: how to raise kids with a healthy relationship with food for life (51:00) Good vs. bad food: food doesn’t have a moral value (52:51) Where to find Soleina KEY TAKEAWAY Sitting at the dinner table should be about connection, not intake. Your job as a parent is to decide what, when, and where food is served. Your child's job is to decide if and how much they eat. By trusting that division, you preserve the one thing that matters most: their lifelong relationship with food. About Soleina Karamali Soleina Karamali is a registered dietician and the founder of Every Eater, a feeding therapy practice serving families across British Columbia. With nearly a decade as a pediatric dietician at BC Children's Hospital — most of it in complex feeding care — Soleina brings serious clinical expertise to the work. She's also a published researcher and a mom of two (one adventurous eater, one very particular one), which means she gets it from both sides of the table. Her approach is science-backed, humor-forward, and built around the belief that feeding your child shouldn't feel overwhelming.
