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.
