As we unpack moments from our own lives—including the trials of calling off weddings and confronting marital infidelities—we share the essential truth that conscious communication is the lifeline of any deep relationship.

Megan brings to light the practices that have changed the foundation of her marriage and herself. With stirring openness, we talk about burning past guilts, redefining roles, and stepping into a new paradigm of personal growth.

Reclaiming My Body: A Candid Episode On My Breast Implant Removal

In today's episode #255, I'm pulling back the curtain on my personal journey with breast implants, which I decided to remove after nearly two decades. I'll share with you why I made this life-altering choice, the pre-surgery process, the healing experience, and my post-surgery reflections and what I learned about Breast Implant Illness along the way.
We'll explore Breast Implant Illness and the wide array of symptoms many women with breast implants have reported, including joint pain, hormone issues, IBS, food intolerances, and a host of autoimmune-related concerns to name a few.
If you're experiencing unexplained health issues that you're struggling to resolve AND have breast implants, it may be time to visit healingbreastimplantillness.com—a valuable resource for anyone seeking answers.
This episode isn't just my story; it's also a call to action to take responsibility for your health and well-being. It's about recognizing the resilience of our bodies and the critical importance of diet, physical activity, and nurturing self-care practices. It's not about being healthy for today, but for the future version of yourself and ensuring that your body will always be up for the task of extraordinary healing.
It's also an invitation to explore choices you've made in the past, whether it's something like implants or leaving a marriage, or any choice that you might not feel proud of and allow yourself to forgive and let go of that version of you.
You'll find all of this and more in today's episode, and PLEASE share it if you know someone who would benefit from the information I've shared.
As we look ahead to 2024, I’m excited to tease what we’ve got in store—whether it’s our year-long group coaching container, the rejuvenating retreat in Whistler, BC, or one-on-one coaching opportunities, it’s all designed to help you reclaim your energy and vitality.

How To Thrive As A Parent Of A Neurodivergent Child With Sara Intonato

Today, in episode 252 of The Full Frontal Living™ Podcast I'm diving into a touching and deeply transformative conversation with my special guest, Sara Intonato, a consultant, yoga teacher, coach, and beacon of hope for parents with neurodiverse children, who has carved a new path for families seeking empowerment and understanding.
Fueled by her own experiences as a parent of a child with autism, Sara transformed her life and learned to transcend the shame, blame, martyrdom and victim mentality that many families with neurodiverse children succumb to.
Sara shares the journey that led her to create a comforting community for parents who felt alone and misunderstood, while coping with the diagnosis of their child. She talks about what it looks like to take an empowered role as a parent and not put 100% of the focus on your child, but also allowing yourself to thrive.
Sara opens up about her personal struggles and turning points, as well as how she harnessed the principles of yoga for self-healing and clarity amid the chaos. She will also discuss the importance of parents committing to their personal well-being, as much as they do for their children, thus recovering from an often below the surface martyrdom syndrome, which can lead to severe burnout and chronic health issues.
Sara highlights how this syndrome disrupts the sensitive regulatory systems of neurodiverse children, who then struggle to prosper in the face of parental stress. Learn about practical tools and strategies that not only empower parents but create a nurturing environment for the entire family.
Join us also as we delve into Sara's best-selling book, “Emotional Healing for Parents with Children of Autism,” which recounts her family’s journey and serves as a beacon of solace and guidance for parents experiencing similar situations.
