After two iron infusions, her ferritin went from 16 to 142. She explains why advocating for your own labs matters and why a Band-Aid fix is sometimes okay. She also reflects on the type B side pregnancy brought out and the big life change ahead.

134. Living in Your Palette: The Life-Changing Power of Color Analysis with Megan Bentley Sep 22, 2026

Show notes

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Megan Bentley, known as The Color Countess, a color analyst trained in the 16-season system. They break down the three chroma characteristics that actually determine your palette, undertone, value, and intensity, and why comparing yourself to a friend or family member's "season" doesn't work even when you look alike. Megan shares her own color analysis journey, including the decades she spent misdiagnosed as a "true spring," and explains why getting it right can be such an emotional, identity-shifting experience for her clients. They also get into why AI and quiz-based color analysis tools get it so wrong.

Show notes

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Cory Allen, a meditation teacher and author, to talk about nervous system regulation and what it really takes to feel calm in a chaotic world.

132. Listening To Inner Pings, Taking The Trust Fall & Connecting With Source with Melissa Wood-Tepperberg Sep 08, 2026

Show notes

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Melissa Wood-Tepperberg, founder of Melissa Wood Health. Melissa opens up about what her actual daily meditation practice looks like, and how it took her years to stop treating it like a box to check and start letting it genuinely shape how she moves through hard moments. That same honesty carries into a conversation about the pull she's been feeling to share less online and only from a place of real authenticity, rather than performing for the algorithm. She walks through the difference between living from ego, or "body consciousness," versus soul consciousness, and offers a simple four-step process she leans on whenever a challenge hits: pause, ask what the opportunity is, embrace it, and remember the light lives in you. Along the way they get into her years studying Kabbalah, what it's felt like to loosen her grip and trust instead of white-knuckling her way through life, why she believes consistency beats intensity when it comes to movement, and why keeping her word to herself has become a form of self-respect.

131. Why High Achievers Struggle to Feel Happy: Pathological Productivity & High-Functioning Depression with Dr. Judith Joseph Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Judith Joseph, a board certified psychiatrist and researcher who led the first ever peer reviewed study on high functioning depression. They talk about her upbringing as a Caribbean immigrant, the pressure to be constantly high achieving, and how she ended up depressed while giving a talk on how to help others get through crisis. Dr. Judith breaks down the difference between burnout and high functioning depression, explains why so many high achievers become pathologically productive as a way to outrun unprocessed pain, and shares her five Vs framework for reclaiming joy: validation, venting, values, vital signs, and vision. They also get into phone addiction, the link between hormones and depression, and why planning joy is not as unromantic as it sounds.

130. SOLO: The Universe Doesn’t Respond To Your Goals, It Responds to your Frequency Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

In today's SOLO episode, Elizabeth talks about the difference between chasing goals and actually raising your frequency, and why she believes the universe responds to energy rather than a to-do list. She shares what shifted after a weekend digital detox, why honoring your own wiring matters more than following someone else's routine, and how she moves through her own low and high frequency seasons. She closes out with the real difference between being lucky and being magnetic.
