My very own therapist, Chantal Wade, who I've been working with since 2016… is back! Today, we dive into the often-overlooked topic of what happens after you eliminate your anxiety disorder, panic attacks, or depression: developing a healthier relationship with your routine. We talk about why so many of us become anxiously attached to our routines, how control can actually be a form of protection, and what it looks like to move from rigidity into flexibility. Chantal walks us through the four-step process she uses with clients, we explore the nervous system side of this work, why rigidity equals survival mode, and how true resilience is being able to choose your routine rather than being ruled by it. I also share how Traditional Chinese Medicine and cycle syncing helped me reframe change itself as something supportive rather than threatening, and how those practices reinforced the flexibility I was learning in therapy. Whether you are in the thick of anxiety recovery, reflecting on your own attachment to routine, or simply curious about what healthier flexibility could look like, I cannot wait for you to listen. Other podcast episodes with Chantal include Ep. 2 How I Learned to Hold Boundaries and Ep. 47 Breaking Up With Anxiety Around Food.

She is also the founder of The Change Collective, an organization she launched in 2021 to advocate for marginalized communities in snow sports.  Agenda:  1.     I know as much about aesthetics as I do about, say, space travel, which is to say I see other people doing it & don't understand it. Talk to us about a natural & healthy approach to beauty that isn't tabloid-driven. What is it to be beautiful?  2.     And what does this mean treatment-wise? What makes a beauty treatment 'natural' or ‘healthy' vs a non-healthy beauty treatment? (this is a question about ingredients, products and interventions that might ‘hurt' you but look good temporarily vs deep beauty).  3.     Walk us through the range of beauty services that you offer, from simplest that is just the relaxation, to the most in depth series of treatments. What do you do in these visits & how are they structured/ scheduled/ personalized per client?  4.     How do you pick the products you use? What do you avoid?  5.     Tells us how you got interested in beauty & aesthetics?  6.     Tell us about the rest of your knowledge base and training- acupuncture, pain management.  7.     How does this square with your activism streak?  8.     What other projects are you working on? What's your latest passion interest? 

Guest: Lulu Ge — Founder & CEO of Elix Healing (elixhealing.com), holistic health entrepreneur, Inc. Female Founder 200, and advocate for women's hormone health. From Early Hustles to Harvard Boardrooms: Lulu's first entrepreneurial spark: selling bulk Snickers bars door to door as a kid in California, learning about “arbitrage” before knowing the word. Grew up in an immigrant household that highly valued education (her parents lived through China's Cultural Revolution, when universities were closed). Corporate Climb and Burnout: After earning degrees from UC San Diego, Columbia, and Wharton, Lulu built a career in management consulting and corporate transformation—eventually managing a $350 million portfolio at Saks Fifth Avenue/Hudson's Bay. Burned out and failed by traditional healthcare for her periodic, debilitating pain (once bled through her wedding dress, missed work for hormonal issues), Lulu rediscovered her family's Traditional Chinese Medicine roots—which became a foundation for her business. The Elix Healing Story: Frustrated by a healthcare system that “medicates symptoms instead of rooting out causes,” she consulted TCM doctors and, inspired by her grandfather (a hospital director in Hunan, China), realized the potential of herbal medicine for holistic hormone support. Launched Elix (2020) as the first digital menstrual wellness platform to blend 5,000 years of TCM with clinical research, offering personalized herbal formulas and online health assessments. The assessment even includes submitting a tongue photo—used by TCM to diagnose internal health. Impact & Growth: Hundreds of clinical trials and pilot tests inform Elix's formulas; real-world results show >90% of users report symptom improvements in the first month. Expanded from remedies for period pain to support PCOS, fibroids, perimenopause, digestion, sleep, and immunity. Elix now offers virtual coaching with TCM practitioners and educational resources on their blog/social channels. Community of 100,000+ followers, recognition in Forbes, Vogue, and Inc, and cited in multiple clinical and women's wellness studies. Advice and Philosophy: Healthcare should be holistic and personal: There's no “one-size-fits-all” solution—bio-individuality matters (what works for one may worsen symptoms for another). “Periods are a report card for your health”—you shouldn't have to accept pain and exhaustion as normal. Founding Elix was about democratizing access to ancient (yet evidence-based) healing, empowering clients to be their own advocates, and rebalancing performance and self-care in the modern world. Even for those not ready to try Elix, Lulu encourages small holistic actions—like getting a few minutes of sunlight on waking, or using deep breathing and gratitude to start your day.

Traditional Chinese Medicine and Thyroid Healing: A Conversation with Dr. Chris Motley In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chris Motley to explore how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can uncover and address the root causes of thyroid dysfunction. This is the first time on the show we're going deep into the science of acupuncture, meridians, and herbs - explained in a way that connects directly to your thyroid health. Dr. Chris combines the best of Eastern and Western approaches, showing how TCM can work alongside your medications, lab testing, and conventional care. He explains how energy “roadblocks” in the body's electrical pathways can disrupt thyroid function long before labs reveal a problem, and how those disruptions can be linked to unresolved emotional trauma or patterns passed down through generations. We discuss his own mother's experience moving from Hashimoto's to Graves disease and back, the key herbs he uses to support thyroid recovery, and why liver and colon health are critical to the process. He also shares how remote consultations can help identify energy imbalances that standard testing often misses. If you've been looking for an integrative approach that blends clear science with time-tested Eastern practices, this episode will give you practical strategies you can start exploring right away.

What's the best treatment for Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)? While answers are still emerging, we're getting closer.TSW is a misunderstood, drug-induced condition that goes far beyond typical eczema. Many sufferers feel dismissed by doctors since there's no formal diagnostic criteria and many dermatologists deny its existence. Yet symptoms like relentless itching, flaking, insomnia, “zingers,” and even depression can be life-altering.In this episode, I speak with Dr. Olivia Hsu Friedman—a compassionate, research-driven Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who reveals how TSW differs from eczema, and explains how Traditional Chinese Medicine addresses the “toxic heat” behind symptoms. If you've been told “it's just eczema” or feel like nothing is working, this episode offers fresh hope and validation!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Connect with Dr. Friedman
