Episode 82 - Dr. Zac Spiritos breaks down what Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is and why it’s much more common than we think. Dr. Spiritos is a neurogastroenterologist known for connecting the dots between MCAS, POTS, hypermobility, gut dysfunction, and chronic unexplained symptoms. Together, we unpack why MCAS is so often missed, why it disproportionately affects women, and what it actually takes to begin feeling better. If you’ve ever felt sensitive to everything; smells, foods, heat, medications, stress, and struggled with symptoms that seem to jump from system to system, this episode is one you don’t want to miss. Our conversation explores why MCAS is notoriously difficult to diagnose, including the lack of reliable biomarkers and the way symptoms wax and wane, organ-hop, and defy traditional medical algorithms. We also discuss the cultural and structural reasons MCAS is dismissed, especially in women, and why many patients are incorrectly labeled as anxious or psychosomatic.

Episode 76 - Jamie Greenwood, life coach and speaker, unpacks the subtle, and sometimes sneaky, ways people pleasing shows up in women’s lives. Jamie and Mallorie explore together why we apologize for taking up space, why “being nice” can actually lead to burnout and resentment, and what it really looks like to show up with honesty and kindness instead of shrinking to stay safe. They reframe people pleasing not as a flaw, but as a learned survival skill that women can unlearn—through awareness, boundaries, and self-compassion.
