I speak with Belinda Marie in this episode, and we discuss the roots of feminine energy and what it looks like in different situations and in different people. She has so much profound insight to share on the topic of Feminine energy.
A big part of feminine healing and soft living is having the courage to shift in the face of misalignment. Feminine energy is based on the texture behind what we are doing and how it feels to do the actions we are doing, not so much the fruits that those actions reap.
As women in business, we have to be mindful of what we think we “should” be doing, and pay attention to how it feels for us to do certain things. Your value is not tied to your productivity or your ability to follow a certain path to content creation or marketing or success.
This interview and episode are full of so much insight into tapping into our feminine energy and bringing it into our businesses. I know you’re going to love it, and I can’t wait to share it with you! Tune in today!
In this episode:
[00:06:09] Welcome to the show, Belinda! Tell us about your background.
[00:11:03] How Belinda shifted out of a state of misalignment and into a place of independent business in her feminine energy.
[00:13:36] The feelings of fear when transitioning into something different and how Belinda transitioned into her current business.
[00:17:40] Part of being successful in business is being authentic while keeping boundaries in place to remove the pressure of authenticity and complete transparency.
[00:23:29] The ways that traditional business conflicts with feminine energy.
[00:27:52] Bringing the concepts of feminine energy into business.
[00:32:39] How constant self-optimization is in every facet of our world and how it drains our feminine energy by forcing us to constantly move in a linear direction.
[00:33:26] Feminine energy is not a linear process. It varies from person to person.
[00:40:57] Belinda shares the principles of feminine healing.
[00:44:35] As women, we are relational beings, but we need to find a balance where we still care for other people without caring much about what they think about us.
[00:52:05] Belinda explains the differences between the distorted masculine and the wounded feminine.
[00:56:42] The concept of trying to “be” feminine and how it is counterintuitive to feminine energy.
[01:05:00] Thanks for joining us today, Belinda, and thank you for listening to the Fully Nourished Podcast.

Hair Care Mistakes I've Made, Hair as Love & Giving Yourself Space to Breathe
My hair care journey has been exactly that, a journey. I’ve made so many mistakes when it comes to my hair, but I’ve finally found the right path to see growth and beauty both within my hair and myself. If you’re ready to start using your hair care routine as a way to give yourself space to breathe life and joy back into your body, then listen in!
So often when we talk about our hair, we’re talking about what’s going wrong and how to fix it. Whether it’s having bad hair days, thinning, hair loss, or breakage, we’re always looking for the quick fix and if it’s natural, even better.
But your hair is usually the last thing in your health and wellness journey to show positive change.
As I started healing my metabolism, finally getting out of burnout, fixing my hormones, and changing the environment that I live in, my hair went through a bunch of changes… not all of them good.
One of the biggest mistakes I made with my own hair was not knowing my true hair type. This goes beyond having curly hair or straight, fine or thick, blonde or brown. Do you know your hair porosity?
I didn’t.
And when it comes to hair products, your porosity makes a huge difference.
Want to learn more? Listen in and hear all about my journey and what you consider as you start looking at your hair care routine and products.
In this episode:
[00:46] It’s time to add to the conversation about natural hair care.
[03:22] The state of our hair is closely related to our internal health.
[06:31] When you experience hair loss your energy shifts… in a bad way.
[08:31] Don't neglect your hair.
[23:08] Learn more about my personal hair journey.
[25:14] Scalp health and hair health are two different things.
[26:00] No matter what changes you’re making, if something doesn’t feel right, trust yourself.
[29:51] Pay attention to what your products are doing over time as well.
[32:19] Even if you’re crunchy, you don’t have to be crusty.
[33:38] Things I wish I would have known before trying to go all natural with my hair care.
[36:10] Your environment matters when it comes to hair care.
[40:21] What hair porosity is and how it impacts your hair care.
[44:36] If you have super hard or soft water, try soaking your hair with distilled water before showering.
[46:16] What it really means when a brand says it’s “sulfate free”.
[53:00] The hair care routine that is working for my hair.
[57:00] Let’s start focusing on resilience over fear.

“Feral” Herbalism, Plants Aren’t Scary, Natural Haircare, Sovereign Beauty & Getting Over Our Fear of Nature with Arielle de Martinez
There has been a long developed stigma surrounding herbs and their uses in our lives. Common marketing surrounding herbal remedies is often stamped with confusing labels like, “Not FDA approved” and “If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a physician.”
What society has forgotten is that these herbs are the plants that our creator gave to us on this planet. They all have a purpose in our lives, from healing to beauty and everything in between—and they shouldn’t be considered dangerous if you are in tune with your body, whether you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or just wanting to seek more natural remedies.
My guest in this episode is Arielle De Martinez, and she shares such a refreshing and freeing perspective surrounding herbs and their uses in our everyday lives. Coming from a background as a hairstylist, Arielle began to wake up to the reality that surrounds the beauty and healthcare industries. Shampoos and products that she was using in her client’s hair were loaded with the fragrances and endocrine disruptors that we are all striving to get away from when leading a more holistic life.
This inspired her to found her own beauty company that centers around whole plant herbalism and the benefits that women can gain from products that are truly natural, not just marketed that way. She and I also dive into the dirty little secret behind essential oils and why they shouldn’t be used in our everyday lives.
If you’re considering leaning into herbalism in your everyday life and replacing some of the over-the-counter drugs and beauty products that plague our society with herbs, this episode is for you! I know you’re going to love it. Tune in today!
In this episode:
[02:19] Welcome my guest, Arielle De Martinez!
[03:19] Arielle shares her background and how she found her way into herbalism.
[07:05] How Arielle went from a hairstylist into a truly natural beauty product entrepreneur.
[10:46] The concept of sovereign haircare and Arielle’s hair care routine.
[16:39] What is at the core of the fear stigma surrounding herbs?
[19:25] The use of herbs during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
[27:28] Using your intuition and instincts when using herbs.
[29:47] Why you should stop using essential oils.
[37:21] The risks of using essential oils during delivery and with infants.
[43:41] Arielle’s favorite herbs to support beauty.
[47:34] Where can we source herbs?

Anima and Animus: Feeding the True Feminine Instead of Conforming to the Male Anima
Media has always had the power to shape our outlook on life and even how we choose to behave. I recently rewatched Sex in the City and identified how it so wrongfully shaped the definition of femininity in the late '90s and early ‘00s, by portraying empowered women operating under the guise of masculine energy.
Along with this, which arguably gave an extra boost to the feminist movement, we have a new spin on the definition of femininity that is coming from what is portrayed on social media between the boss babes, wild feminine, and trad wife movements.
Women have made the mistake of adopting femininity under the guise of what the male anima thinks it should be, which completely derails the power of our true femininity. We have to take control of our own energy and step into the feminine power that has been given to us, and the male energy will respond to that.
This episode is full of so much information surrounding how we interact with the men in our lives, how the men in our lives shape our male anima, and how Yin and Yang energetics are supposed to interact. Tune in now!
In this episode:
[00:46] Welcome to The Fully Nourished Podcast!
[07:29] The different groups of “femininity” that are portrayed on social media.
[12:54] What is misunderstood to be femininity is actually feminism, which is damaging to our true feminine energy.
[14:03] The background on Anima & Animus and what those terms mean.
[18:40] The difference between Yin and Yang energy dynamics.
[26:19] The masculine behaves in response to the feminine.
[28:31] The misconception of true femininity and women who shape themselves into what they think the men in their lives want.
[38:46] Feminine and masculine energy are not roles that we play.
[42:26] We cannot heal until we begin to mother ourselves and care for ourselves.

The War on Physiology, Trying to Erase Women and Why the Words We Use Matter with Isabella Malbin
Today’s episode is jam packed with meaningful conversation surrounding the controversial topic of what it truly means to be a woman. It is no secret that society is desperately trying to erase what makes women different and unique, and my guest - Isabella Malbin - joins me in this episode to discuss all that is being stolen from us under the guise of transhumanism.
The definition of a woman comes down to the physiology that sets us apart. As Isabella so clearly states, we are human first, then gender second. It is literally the second most important factor as a dimorphic species. While gender roles may vary across the globe or even across neighborhoods, there is nothing that changes the underlying physiology that connects us all as women.
Female erasure is occurring in the brainwashing that is being fed to us as a solution to the problem of unwanted pregnancies. Birth control causes the equivalent of chemical castration in women and the true impacts of these medications aren’t discussed with us in the depth that they should be before such a commitment is made.
We talk about the impact that gender ideology has on our power as women, the controversy of societal beauty standards, and about the lie we’ve been fed that our value is derived from what we achieve. Join me in this episode where we dive deep into these topics and so much more.
In this episode:
[02:20] Welcome my guest today, Isabella Malbin.
[04:28] Isabella’s experience with becoming a Doula and how gender ideology was introduced in that process.
[06:22] The story behind how Isabella discovered that gender ideology and birthing are completely incompatible.
[09:42] The slow waking that Isabella experienced while working with women and helping them advocate for their own health.
[13:00] How the concept of transgenderism waters down both the male and female physiology.
[19:21] The role that birth control has played in how women relate to their own physiology.
[26:51] Are women more powerful than ever, or is our power being taken from us?
[30:00] The difficulty of finding a political home when we hold the types of views that we do.
[32:11] The benefits of having children at a younger age and the misconception of fulfillment from funneling our self-worth into a career or accomplishment.
[39:44] We are robbed of the opportunity to watch our elders age without chemical intervention.
[50:08] Why does the language we use to describe women matter so much?
[52:03] The real end goal of the transhumanist takeover.
[56:14] Thanks for joining me on the Fully Nourished Podcast today!

Intermittent Fasting for Women, Spiritual Fasting, Hunger and Appetite as a Message
It’s finally here! I hope you are ready to peel back the layers of intermittent fasting and the misconceptions about it that have been plaguing female physiology and tricking us into starving ourselves. Buckle up because here we go!
When we consider intermittent fasting, we see big forces at play in our metabolism. The truth is that women (or anyone, really) were not built to fast as a normal practice. The practice of fasting causes too much metabolic damage in our systems.
When your body is forced into a season of scarcity, it will do everything it can to conserve energy and calories for safety purposes. So the fasting practice that you’re hoping will help you shed some weight is actually telling your body to hold on to every pound it can.
There’s so much more that we dive into in this episode about the real impact that intermittent fasting has on your metabolism and your overall health, and I know you’re going to love it. Tune in today!
In this episode:
[00:02:11] Is intermittent fasting really a healthy practice for women to partake in?
[00:06:58] Common misconceptions surrounding the benefits of intermittent fasting
[00:18:45] Metabolic restoration and the role that hormones play in metabolism.
[00:21:22] The differences between male and female physiology and the impact fasting has on each.
[00:27:28] The process the body follows when in a state of famine and the role it plays in our physiology.
[00:32:27] How does the process of gluconeogenesis actually work?
[00:41:24] Intermittent fasting and misconceptions surrounding weight loss.
[00:44:05] The behavior of our ancestors surrounding intermittent fasting and where fasting shows up in nature.
[00:47:44] How does intermittent fasting impact your circadian rhythm?
[00:52:21] The impact of intermittent fasting on eliminating toxins and metals from your body.
[00:58:40] What is a more strategic way to focus on long-term metabolic health or even weight loss?
[01:05:39] Thanks for joining me today!
