I’m so honored to welcome Belinda Ruiz back to Wildly Well Mamas. In this episode — part two of our three-part functional medicine series — we dive into a conversation that feels especially timely for so many moms right now.

Belinda Ruiz is a Family Nurse Practitioner and the founder of B Holistic Health, a concierge-style virtual functional medicine practice. Her journey into integrative health began after losing her mother to liver cancer and navigating her own experience with adrenal fatigue and depression — experiences that shaped her passion for helping others heal at the root.

In this conversation, we talk about chronic fatigue, anxiety, and burnout — the kind of exhaustion that doesn’t go away with sleep and often gets dismissed when labs come back “normal.” Belinda helps us unpack how stress, nervous system imbalance, hormones, and nutrition quietly drain our energy, and how functional medicine looks at the body as a whole to uncover what’s really going on.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

1. Why exhaustion is so common in motherhood
2. How stress impacts energy, hormones, and the nervous system
3. Why conventional labs often miss the root cause of fatigue
4. Simple ways to support energy, including blood sugar balance and protein intake
5. How breathwork and mindfulness can help regulate stress

If you’re feeling depleted, unseen, or stuck in survival mode, this conversation offers validation, clarity, and a gentle path forward.

In this episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I’m exploring the often-forgotten power of play — and why it’s not something we outgrow, but something many of us slowly forget.

In a culture that celebrates productivity and constant doing, I see so many women — especially mothers — resist play. I’ve felt that resistance myself. But play isn’t the opposite of growth. It’s one of the most natural ways back into presence, creativity, and resilience.

In this episode, I share personal stories and gentle science to show how play helps regulate the nervous system, awaken curiosity, and soften the places in us that have learned to stay tight and vigilant. I also explore whimsy, beauty, and everyday moments of play — and how motherhood invites us back into joy and connection.

This episode is an invitation to let life feel lighter — and to remember how to be here… now.

✨ In this episode, I explore:

1. Why adults (especially moms) often resist play
2. How play shifts the nervous system from survival into safety
3. The connection between play, creativity, learning, and adaptability
4. What whimsy looks like in everyday life
5. Simple ways to invite more joy and lightness into your days

What does it really mean to care for ourselves while caring for our children — not someday later, not when things slow down, but alongside motherhood as it unfolds?

In this heartfelt episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I’m joined by Britt Addis, family nurse practitioner, St. Pete mom of two, and the heart behind Sunshine City with Kids — a community that brings families together through connection, exploration, and play.

Together, we explore mindful motherhood, wellness, and what it looks like to live consciously while raising children. Britt shares her personal journey through health challenges, motherhood, and building community, offering grounded wisdom on balance, authenticity, and honoring our limits. We talk about self-care not as something separate from parenting, but as an essential part of it — and how playfulness, presence, and support can radically shift our experience of motherhood.

This conversation is a gentle reminder that:

1. Taking care of yourself is taking care of your kids
2. Motherhood is dynamic, evolving, and deeply human
3. Health truly is our wealth
4. Community and authenticity are powerful forms of support
5. Play is not extra — it’s essential

If you’re a mama longing to feel more grounded, fulfilled, and connected — to yourself, your kids, and your community — this episode is for you.

Motherhood doesn’t just stretch our hearts — it stretches us to become more of who we really are.

In this soulful solo episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I explore the principle of Challenge as a not-always-welcome, but necessary catalyst for growth. And I’m not talking about the hustle-y, push-harder kind of challenge — but the kind that gently stretches your edges and supports conscious evolution.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why motherhood is both joyful and deeply challenging — and why that’s okay
• The difference between the comfort zone, growth zone, and danger zone
• How real confidence and resilience are built in the growth zone
• Why challenge isn’t about tearing yourself apart, but about stretching with intention

I also share personal stories from this year — including starting this podcast before I felt ready and embarrassing myself while speaking Spanish — to show how allowing yourself to be uncomfortable (and even a little bad at something) is often the doorway to becoming more yourself.

We explore how Challenge connects to — but feels different from — Play, and why community support matters when we’re doing brave things.

If you’ve been feeling called toward something new…

If you sense the stretch but hesitate at the discomfort…

This episode is an invitation to step into growth — gently, bravely, and together. 🙌

✨ Plus reflection questions woven throughout the episode to support your own next edge.

This week, I get to share a conscious conversation with Jessi DeLeo — a couples therapist who blends emotional intelligence, nervous-system awareness, and her lived experience as a neurodivergent mom raising a neurodivergent child. Jessi has a gift for making relationship tools feel accessible, grounding, and truly supportive in the real, messy seasons of partnership and parenthood.

Together, we explore how to pause with love during conflict, communicate your needs without shutting down, and build emotional safety in your relationship — especially in the early years of raising little ones.

You’ll learn:

• How to recognize nervous system overwhelm

• What a healthy “pause” actually looks and sounds like

• Simple scripts to use during conflict

• How to repair + reconnect after rupture

• Practical tools for emotional regulation

• How motherhood + neurodivergence shape communication

A grounded, compassionate conversation for anyone wanting more emotional clarity, ease, and connection in partnership.

If you’ve been feeling a little disconnected lately — a little rushed, a little empty, or like you’re moving through your days on autopilot — this episode is for you.

In this heartfelt solo episode, I explore the quiet, often-missing ingredient so many of us are longing for without realizing it: reverence.

A sense of meaning.

A return to presence.

The lost art of honoring the moment you’re already in.

I share personal stories from my own life and I walk through what it means to honor your thoughts, your body, your path, the present moment, and the sacred ordinary that fills your life every day.

If you’ve been feeling “the void you can’t name,” I hope this episode brings you back to yourself — gently, honestly, and with a sense of wonder for your one wild, precious life.

In this episode, I explore:

✨ Why so many moms feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or numb

✨ What we’re actually missing (it’s not more time or more productivity)

✨ How grief, slowness, and presence can bring us back to center

✨ The Wildly Well principle of Honor and why it underpins everything

✨ Simple ways to return to reverence in the midst of real-life motherhood

✨ A tender journal and reflection practice to carry into the week

Reflection prompts I offer in this episode:

✨ What is asking to be honored in my life right now?

✨ Where have I been rushing past the sacred?

✨ What small, simple thing do I want to honor today?

In this heartfelt conversation, I have the divine privilege to chat with one of my role models: Katelyn Grady. 👏👏👏

Katelyn is a longtime yoga practitioner, outdoor athlete, and co-founder of The Body Electric Yoga Company in St. Petersburg, Florida. What began as a teenage curiosity for Katelyn has evolved into a lifelong exploration of movement, mindfulness, and motherhood — and in this episode, we dive into how yoga can truly be for every body and every season of life. 🧘🏽‍♀️

We talk about what it means to live your yoga — not just on the mat, but in the way you breathe, parent, and show up in your relationships. Katelyn shares how motherhood deepened her understanding of yoga, the importance of community, and how even the smallest moments of presence can reconnect us to our bodies and our peace.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your practice or wondered how to bring yoga philosophy, mindfulness, and self-compassion into your daily life, this episode will remind you that the practice is already within you. 💛
