You don’t need another fad diet—you need a functioning gut and a little truth serum about your metabolism.

On this episode of Moving With Meaning The Podcast, Krystal sits down with Lea Dombrowski, Holistic Nutritionist and Health Coach, to gut-check the real reasons so many women struggle with weight loss. Hint: It’s not laziness or willpower. It’s often inflammation, undiagnosed conditions like PCOS, and a whole lot of confusing diet culture BS.

Lea shares:

• 🌿 Why functional medicine looks at the why behind the weight
• 🔍 How gut health, autoimmune issues, and even acne are all connected
• 🔁 What happens when you stop overcomplicating weight loss
• 🧬 Why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to your health journey

This one’s for every woman who’s been told to “just eat less and move more.” You’ll walk away with tools, truth, and the courage to trust your own body.

What if your real money problem isn’t in your bank account but in your relationship status with money itself? 💸 In this episode of Moving With Meaning The Podcast, Krystal sits down with Morgana Rae—international wealth coach and best-selling author of Financial Alchemy—to uncover why making money fall in love with you might just be the game-changer you need.

Morgana gets candid about her own rock-bottom moment—barely scraping by despite huge success, feeling ashamed, and even considering giving up altogether. Then a coach asked her one life-saving question that flipped everything: she personified her toxic “Money Monster,” slayed it, and met her “Money Honey”—a figurative man who taught her what real financial intimacy looks like. (Spoiler: it’s never just about the money.)

She also gives a quick peek into her 6-step Financial Alchemy process and drops a golden truth: Change happens at the speed of safety.

Get ready to rethink your wealth, your worth, and maybe even your love life—with money.

How do you rewrite your life story—literally and figuratively—after surviving years in an abusive relationship? In this powerful and adventurous episode of Moving With Meaning The Podcast, Krystal chats with author and podcaster Teri M Brown, whose real-life memoir is as inspiring as any novel on the shelf.

Teri shares the backstory behind her cross-country biking adventure with her husband—yes, biking across the U.S.—how the idea sparked during their dating days, and why it became a declaration of freedom, resilience, and YES, proof that she still had it. 🚴‍♀️💪

They dive into:

• Life lessons from the open road
• The emotional shift from surviving to thriving
• Why creating your own "life rules" can be a rebellious act of self-love
• And the curious crossover between writing fiction and non-fiction when your truth is stranger (and braver) than fiction.

Whether you’re a writer, survivor, adventurer—or all three—this episode is your permission slip to take bold steps toward the life you want to author.

“You don’t need permission to live boldly. You need curiosity... and maybe a bike.”
