  • #125 What’s Important To Aumatma Simmons – Fertility, Women’s Health & Living in Alignment
    Jan 15 2026

    In this insightful conversation, we explore fertility, women’s health, and the lifestyle factors that influence our ability to conceive and thrive.

    Dr. Aumatma shares her journey into fertility work and her mission to help women and couples conceive without drugs or invasive medical interventions.

    We discuss why infertility should be viewed as a symptom rather than a diagnosis, and how inflammation, stress, environmental toxins, and modern lifestyle habits can signal the body to shut down reproduction.

    The conversation highlights the importance of sleep, nutrition, hydration, consistency, and exercise for both women and men.

    Dr. Aumatma also explains the role of the microbiome, declining testosterone levels, and why sustainable lifestyle changes are key to hormonal balance, fertility, and long-term health.

    This episode reframes fertility as a reflection of overall vitality and encourages listeners to listen more closely to their bodies and respond with informed, compassionate action.

    • Fertility as a reflection of overall health
    • Infertility as a symptom, not a diagnosis

  • #119 What's Important To Margaret K-Jerczynska - Transformation, Trust & the Subconscious Mind
    Nov 20 2025

    What if lasting change didn’t come from working harder, but from working with your subconscious mind?

    In this episode, I’m joined by Margaret K-Jerczyńska, certified hypnotherapist, holistic therapist, Reiki Master, and founder of MKJ Inner Coaching. Margaret shares her deeply personal journey of self-discovery — from her early career in dressmaking to becoming a transformational coach and healer.

    We explore the power of the subconscious mind, the role of trust in personal growth, and how hypnotherapy and Reiki can help uncover limiting beliefs, fears, and emotional blocks. Margaret also reflects on the influence of Carl Jung’s teachings, the process of letting go of control, and how understanding ourselves more deeply leads to lasting transformation.

    💡 Key Takeaways:

    • Knowing yourself is an ongoing journey of discovery.
    • Hypnotherapy reveals and reprograms limiting beliefs.
    • Trusting the process is vital for lasting change.
    • Reiki and hypnotherapy work together to restore balance.
    • The subconscious mind holds the key to transformation.
    • Past experiences shape us but don’t have to define us.
    • Letting go of control opens new possibilities.
    • Carl Jung’s teachings inspire deeper self-awareness and authenticity.
    • Growth happens outside the comfort zone.

    In Their Words:

    • "Everything unfolds as it should."
    • "We have the power to change."
    • "I was living in survival mode."
