Maggie Nick, MSW, LCSW is a trauma therapist, parenting coach, and has gone viral for her powerful and relatable videos about growing up as "The Good Kid." On this episode, we talk about Attachment Theory and how trauma and shame affect our mental and physical health. We talk about outdated parenting styles and how they've hurt us through generations and how we can break the cycle of trauma by using our "perspectacles." We'll talk about "punishments" vs "consequences," where Gentle Parenting falls short and what Functional Medicine misses. It's a jam-packed episode!

The Silent Suffering of "The Good Kid"

Aoife Griffin was given three months to live. Her heart and organs were failing. The doctor told her it was her choice to live or die. The mother of four had to fight for her life. And she did. 

Then COVID hit. She was stuck at home with her children and an abusive alcoholic husband. For a year. 

Aoife tells us her powerful and inspiring story of healing, escaping abuse, starting over, and how she's now helping others.

A Missionary's Story

Do you have extreme emotional symptoms around the time of your period? You might have PMDD. 

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder is a deadly hormone-based mood disorder that has a high suicide or suicide attempt rate. Jes Fleming struggled with the condition for 17 years without a proper diagnosis. When conventional treatments made the problem worse, she set out to fix the problem herself and became a Hormone Health Coach. Her condition is now managed through lifestyle and she's helping other menstruators with the condition.

How to Resolve Chronic Pain Naturally

The Life Detox explores the causes, environmental and emotional, behind hormone imbalances and other endocrine disorders.  We'll take a deep dive to look at PCOS, endometriosis, adenomyosis, autoimmune disorders, even ADHD, and consider how environmental pollutants and emotional trauma contribute to these conditions. We'll cover a lot of taboo topics: periods, domestic violence, toxic shame, narcissistic abuse, personality disorders, attachment trauma.  We'll talk about how we can fight back, fix our bodies, regulate our nervous system, and make life changes to support our health. We'll cover nutrition, environmental chemicals that mess up our hormones, supplements for healing, and how "wellness" culture can be toxic.  

Hosted by Stephanie Greenwood, a cosmetic formulator, business owner, and organic advocate, she shares her journey of escaping long-term abuse, the lessons she learned along the way, and how she became a first-time mom at 42 despite being diagnosed with PCOS and adenomyosis.
