In this episode, it's goodbye for now as I reflect on the five-year journey of Full and Thriving and share some big life updates, including the bittersweet decision to press pause on the podcast. I talk about the joys of new motherhood, the shifts in my professional direction, and the deep gratitude I feel for everyone who’s listened, supported, and grown alongside me. I open up about how becoming a mom, stepping back from the eating disorder recovery space, and pivoting into podcast mentorship have all led me to this moment. While this chapter is closing, I'm excited for what’s ahead — and I invite you to stay connected as I begin a new creative journey!

🎙️ Episode Title: The 4 Seasons of Your Menstrual Cycle: How to Sync with Your Body’s Natural Rhythm with Flurina Thali

Description:

In this enlightening episode, we’re joined by Flurina Thali, a menstrual cycle coach and embodiment guide, who shares how tuning into the natural "seasons" of your menstrual cycle can help you live with more alignment, energy, and ease.

Flurina introduces us to the four inner seasons—menstruation (winter), the follicular phase (spring), ovulation (summer), and the luteal phase (autumn)—and explains how each phase offers unique strengths, challenges, and invitations for self-care. Whether you're someone who menstruates or you're supporting someone who does, this episode will deepen your understanding of the powerful rhythms at play in the female body.

We talk about:

🌱 The emotional, mental, and physical patterns that emerge during each phase

🌸 How to adjust your schedule, self-care, and even work tasks based on your cycle

🍂 Simple practices to begin honoring your body’s cyclical wisdom today

This episode is perfect for anyone looking to reconnect with their body, improve energy flow, and cultivate body literacy through cycle awareness.

Guest Spotlight: Flurina Thali
Flurina is a menstrual cycle coach who helps people reconnect with their bodies, release shame around menstruation, and find empowerment through cyclical living. Through her coaching, courses, and online resources, she guides individuals to live in rhythm with their cycle and reclaim their power.

Are you a new or expecting mom navigating body image changes before, during, or after pregnancy? In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Rachel Evans, psychologist, eating disorder survivor, and mom of two, to explore the complex emotional and physical shifts that come with motherhood.

We dive into the real experience of postpartum body image, how trauma, hormones, and social pressure influence the way new moms feel about their bodies, and why caring for yourself isn’t about “bouncing back”—it’s about nurturing yourself through the changes.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How pregnancy and postpartum can uniquely affect body image—even after eating disorder recovery
• The impact of social media and “bounce back” culture on new moms
• Why it's okay (and normal) to feel disconnected or overwhelmed in your body after birth
• How small, intentional moments of self-care can help you feel more grounded
• The importance of community and validation during postpartum recovery
• Insight into coping strategies for intrusive thoughts and emotional overwhelm as a new parent

Whether you’re a mom, hope to be one someday, or support someone who’s recently given birth, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and empowered to embrace postpartum with more compassion and less pressure.
