Follow Your Gut Podcast

What do you do when you’ve experienced years of symptoms and no real answers?

In this episode of Follow Your Gut, Juniper shares her deeply personal story of trying to heal her son after years of reflux, eczema, food allergies, mucus-filled stools, allergies, explosive meltdowns, and being dismissed by professional after professional.

This episode is for the woman or mother who knows something is off, even when labs look &ldquo...

In this episode, I’m sharing one of the simplest practices that has created the most transformation in my life: speaking what you desire as if it already exists.

This isn’t about pretending, bypassing what’s hard, or ignoring the very real symptoms and challenges in front of you. It’s about helping your brain, body, and nervous system begin to recognize healing, peace, and possibility as safe.

I share how affi...

You know the feeling.

You’re exhausted… but you slept.
You’re showing up… but not fully there.
You’re doing everything “right”… but something still feels off.

And at some point, you stopped questioning it.
You started explaining it away.

“This is just life right now.”
“This is what happens when you’re a mom.”
“I just need more rest.&r...

I've recently become aware of something and now I can't unsee it. I've been quiet and I've been seeing this a lot in our customers and the women in our community.

We've been quiet, not because life is hard, but because the opposite, because it's so profoundly good.

Most people don't talk about this, that when life is so abundantly good, we can kind of isolate ourselves because we don't want to make other people feel uncomfortable. An...

We keep getting asked about swollen tonsils and adenoids and related symptoms, so today we are having the conversation no one is having.

Because what’s happening right now is that so many parents are being told the same thing. Your child keeps getting sick. Their tonsils are enlarged. Their adenoids are swollen. Maybe they’re mouth breathing, they are not sleeping well, or maybe they are dealing with constant congestion ...

There are several research studies that have recently come out that show that 30 to 50 % of oral antibiotics have been unnecessarily prescribed. If we go with this lower number, 30%, this means one in three antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary.

This equals about 47 million unnecessary prescriptions per year in the United States alone. This is significant because when you are prescribed these antibiotics, you're not being educate...

In this episode, I want to invite you to start viewing your internal health through the same lens as you view your external health. Nothing is one and done. You're never done. The goal is not to be done. The goal is learning what your baseline is, what it feels like to actually live in balance, because most people have no concept of what their actual baseline is when their body is in balance. And from there, it's learning how to li...

This is our final anchor in this series, at least for now. And I want to be really intentional about how we close this chapter together. Moving on from here, we will return to our regular bi-weekly episodes. And who knows, if there is a need and if it feels aligned, I may gather these anchors into their own dedicated resource so that you can revisit them whenever you want. 

On a recent call I had with my personal development co...

One day your child is themselves. They’re laughing, playing, arguing with their siblings, asking for snacks, being who they have always been. And then something shifts. It can feel like it happens overnight. Suddenly there is fear where there wasn’t fear before. Anxiety that doesn't make sense. Obsessive thoughts. Out of nowhere rituals and OCD like behaviors. Maybe tics. Rage that feels completely out of character. Sle...

Welcome to Follow Your Gut. Daily Anchors.

I’m Juniper, and I’ll be guiding you in this daily embodiment practice for grounding, expansion, and self-leadership.

Today’s anchor is about trust and surrender. Because so often, what makes life feel heavy isn’t what we’re carrying. It’s how tightly we’re gripping it.

This is true for healing, motherhood, marriage, growing a business...

Most people think stress is about what’s happening right now. Their schedule, their workload, their kids, their health symptoms. But your body is not only responding to the present moment. Your nervous system is responding through a lens that was formed a very long time ago.

Between the ages of zero and twelve, your subconscious was learning what was safe. What strength looked like. What you were supposed to do with pain. Who ...

Today’s anchor is intentionally quiet. We are practicing something simple but very powerful. Listening instead of overriding.

So often, we only slow down when our bodies force us to. When we’re sick. Exhausted. Or running on empty.

As women, and especially as mothers, we are so conditioned to be doing for everyone else. Holding. Managing. Anticipating. Planning. And the moment we pause, even briefly, guilt creeps ...

There is one question underneath almost every message we receive.

Is this safe?

Is it safe for my child? Is it safe during pregnancy? Is it safe while breastfeeding? Is it safe if I am sick? Is it safe after chemo? Is it safe to keep taking the supplements when my child has an ear infection?

My friends, we are asking the wrong question.

In this episode, we are going to dive deep into the safety of rebalancing, and just as importantly, ...

Welcome to Follow Your Gut. Daily Anchors.

I’m Juniper, and I’ll be guiding you in this daily embodiment practice for grounding, expansion, and self-leadership.

Today’s anchoring practice is about gratitude, affirmation, and intention. Not as concepts, but as daily practices that change how your body experiences life.

So often, especially when we are healing or supporting our child or someone we love through healing,...

This anchoring practice is about creating a daily habit of tuning into your nervous system with curiosity.

A few years ago, one of my mentors shared something that has stayed with me. You don’t want to attune to your nervous system only when life gets hard or everything feels like it’s falling apart. You want nervous system hygiene. A daily relationship. A practice of checking in before you’re overwhelmed, reactive...

You don’t panic because a rash suddenly appears. Or because your child wakes up crying in pain and pulling on their ear. Or because you feel that familiar sting of a UTI coming on. The panic sets in the moment you realize you don’t know what to do next.

It’s that pause. That sinking feeling of, “Do I wait this out?” “Do I need to go to urgent care?” “Is this going to get worse?” ...

Welcome to Follow Your Gut. Daily Anchors.

I’m Juniper, and I’ll be guiding you in this daily embodiment practice for grounding, expansion, and self-leadership.

I have been on my own personal growth journey for a really long time. I’ve spent years learning and healing, expanding, unlearning, and rebuilding myself, and something I’ve really come to notice is that so many of the tools for growth today move incre...

There is something incredibly liberating that happens when you realize your genes are not a life sentence. We have all been told that if a gene runs in your family, you’re destined to live out the same story. Celiac. MTHFR. Hashimoto’s. Breast cancer genes. We’re taught to brace ourselves instead of learning how to influence the environment those genes live in. 

When the gut is overwhelmed, the immune system s...

Do you ever wonder why it feels like everyone else is healing faster than you or your child?

Comparing timelines is something I see a lot of and it's something I have experienced myself. It can be really hard to be months into your journey and see someone else making remarkable progress in just two days! 

There’s this quiet pressure most women carry, and no one really talks about it out loud. The pressure to grow faster. H...
