Episode 47: Minerals Before Detox: The Missing Foundation for Women’s Energy, Hormones & Stress

Episode Summary

In this episode of the Women of Fort Mill Podcast, host Leah Williams welcomes back holistic nutrition expert Katie Linden of The Balanced Way for a deeply practical and eye-opening conversation about mineral balance, cellular health, and sustainable wellness for women.

Katie shares why so many women feel exhausted, irritable, foggy, and hormonally “off” despite doing all the right things—from clean eating and supplements to detoxes and nervous system work. The missing piece? Minerals.

Drawing from over 30 years in holistic health, Katie explains why foundational minerals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium must be replenished before detoxing, fasting, or restrictive protocols. She breaks down how mineral depletion impacts hormones, adrenal health, nervous system regulation, gut function, mood, and energy—and why modern stress, toxins, and depleted soil make this issue more common than ever.

This episode cuts through wellness noise and offers grounded, realistic steps women can take to feel more regulated, nourished, and supported—without extreme protocols or overwhelm.

Episode Highlights

• Why most women are not ready to detox—and how detoxing too early can worsen fatigue, anxiety, and hormonal imbalance
• The critical role of minerals in nervous system regulation, mood, sleep, and stress resilience
• How electrolyte trends, over-supplementing magnesium, and excessive water intake can actually throw the body out of balance
• Why “ragey,” irritable, and short-tempered moments are often signs of sodium and potassium depletion
• The difference between quality vs. quantity when it comes to hydration, salt, and nutrition
• Why minerals must be inside the cell—not just showing up on blood work
• Simple, realistic starting points: high-quality salt, topical magnesium, and mineral foot soaks
• How modern toxins, EMFs, and household products silently drain minerals and impact long-term health
• An inside look at Katie’s Wellness Blueprint Course and her root-cause approach to sustainable healing

Final Takeaway

If you feel like you’re doing everything—yet still feel depleted, dysregulated, or unlike yourself—nothing is “wrong” with you. Your body may simply be running on empty at the cellular level.

True wellness doesn’t start with restriction, detoxes, or perfection. It starts by rebuilding the foundation. When minerals are restored, the body can finally regulate, repair, and heal the way it was designed to.

Episode 46: Finding Peace Through Tachyon Healing

Episode Summary

In this powerful and deeply resonant episode of the Women of Fort Mill Podcast, co-host Leah Williams sits down with Adrienne, founder of Torchbearer Tachyon, to explore an innovative and lesser-known healing modality rooted in energy, science, and spirituality: tachyon chambers.

Adrienne vulnerably shares her personal journey through anxiety, fear, and uncertainty during the COVID era as a single mother working in nonprofit leadership. While familiar tools like breathwork and meditation helped, her search for deeper healing led her to a life-changing experience inside a tachyon chamber—an encounter that brought profound peace, emotional release, and a sense of divine alignment she had never known before.

From skepticism to surrender, Adrienne explains what tachyons are, how a tachyon chamber works, and why this modality has become a powerful tool for calming anxiety, restoring emotional balance, and supporting physical, mental, and energetic alignment. She also shares how Torchbearer Tachyon was divinely guided into existence in the Fort Mill area, making this cutting-edge healing experience accessible both in-person and remotely.

This episode bridges science, faith, energy healing, and lived experience—offering hope to anyone seeking peace, clarity, and deeper connection in a chaotic world.

Episode Highlights

• What tachyons are and how they relate to quantum physics and energy healing
• Adrienne’s transformational first experience inside a tachyon chamber
• How tachyon sessions support alignment on the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic planes
• What to expect during a first-time tachyon chamber session
• How tachyon healing can be experienced remotely, no matter where you live
• The cumulative impact of regular sessions on anxiety, stress, and emotional resilience
• Faith, prayer, intention-setting, and spirituality as integral parts of the healing process
• A special Fort Mill 20 promo code offering 20% off sessions for listeners

Final Takeaway

Peace is not something we have to earn or chase—it’s something we can return to when the right tools support us. This episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t have to be linear, conventional, or fear-based. Whether through science, spirituality, or energy alignment, there are pathways available to help us feel safe, supported, and whole again.

Adrienne’s story invites listeners to gently suspend disbelief, listen to their inner wisdom, and explore what healing might look like when mind, body, spirit, and energy are brought back into harmony.

Episode 45: From Burnout to Balance: Sound Healing, Nervous System Regulation & Women’s Wellness

Episode Summary

In this powerful episode of the Women of Fort Mill Podcast, co-host Leah Williams sits down with Diana Rizkowski, former corporate marketing executive turned holistic wellness leader, sound healer, and founder of multiple women-centered wellness communities. Diana shares her deeply personal journey—from navigating postpartum struggles and high-pressure corporate life to embracing holistic health, nervous system regulation, and purpose-driven work that supports women at every stage of life.

Raised with alternative health practices, Diana’s story comes full circle after experiencing postpartum challenges that forced her to slow down, listen to her body, and reconnect with foundational healing tools like nutrition, essential oils, sound therapy, and energy work. She explains how chronic stress, overachievement, and “doing it all” culture have left many women dysregulated, disconnected, and exhausted—and how sound healing and intentional self-care can help restore balance.

Listeners also get a behind-the-scenes look at Diana’s work with sound bowls, group healing sessions, community-based wellness events, and her vision for a future wellness center and maternal support collective. This episode is a grounded, honest conversation about healing, identity shifts, and creating sustainable success without sacrificing health or self.

Episode Highlights

• Diana’s transition from 20+ years in corporate marketing to holistic wellness entrepreneurship
• How postpartum experiences and chronic stress impact women’s nervous systems
• Signs of nervous system dysregulation (overwhelm, irritability, doom scrolling, exhaustion)
• What sound healing is and how sound bowls regulate the body at a cellular level
• The mental load women carry—and why society’s expectations are unsustainable
• Small, accessible wellness practices: sleep, breathwork, grounding, pausing, and detoxing daily products
• Why healing doesn’t require perfection—just awareness and gentle consistency

Final Takeaway

True wellness isn’t about doing more—it’s about coming home to yourself. When women slow down, regulate their nervous systems, and create space for healing, clarity and alignment naturally follow. Healing happens when we listen to our bodies instead of pushing past them.
