Episode 99: FEMspiration — Transform Your Life as a Fiercely Empowered Mama
Tuesday Oct 31, 2023
Tuesday Oct 31, 2023
Why do mamas say YES to Fiercely Empowered Mama year after year?
Grab a cup of tea, pull up a chair and join us as we discuss all of Kelsey and Amanda’s biggest FEM wins throughout the years.
In today's episode, you'll quickly see that FEM not only has the power to upgrade your family’s health, but your entire LIFE too.
Get to Know Kelsey
Kelsey is a Michigan wife and mama to three littles ages 7, 4 and 2. She first found FEM in 2019 during her baby’s second hospitalization. She had been dabbling in natural health at the time, but during her son’s health scare, she knew FEM was a program she needed to join.
In her first year, she was able to use her FEM knowledge and tools to turn her sick child into a thriving child. She went from being a scared mama to being a strong, confident and intuitive mama. She continues to dive deeper into mindset work and expanding the healing possibilities.
Get to Know Amanda
Amanda is another Michigan wife and mama with two children, ages 6 and 4, and a 7-year-old fur baby! Her family members planted the holistic seed for her, and then she dove into it herself when she was pregnant with her first baby. She has been using her tools since bringing her babies into the world, noting that neither of her kiddos have been on an antibiotic!
Amanda’s growth over the last five years has been amazing. Each year she digs deeper into her natural remedies with the community she loves!

Episode 98: Mini Life Lessons — How Well Are You Listening?
Friday Oct 20, 2023
Friday Oct 20, 2023
Life is always giving us opportunities to check in with our truth.
In today's episode, I share with you a few mini life lessons that I’ve experienced recently.
In sharing how I process the tough and interesting things that come up in my life, I hope to provide you with inspiration and guidance on how to process what comes up in yours.
Enjoy!
You're Invited to the Ultimate Natural Mama Crash Course
As a mom, you’re constantly surrounded by perspectives… Everyone has one, but what’s your truth?
What does “normal” look like for your child when it comes to sleep, behavior, focus, mood, teeth, diet, skin, digestion, ear infections, energy…? The list goes on.
You can even take that a step further and wonder, “What does it look like when my child is THRIVING?”
It can feel overwhelming to try to dig through all of the opinions out there on this!
No matter the story, the journey to resilient health is always the same.
When you understand how the body communicates (and the many ways it works to serve us), you will be able to balance it.
And I can help you break it all down.

Episode 97: Upgrading My Quality of Sleep
Wednesday Oct 11, 2023
Wednesday Oct 11, 2023
Over the past year, I've put lots of intention and attention into my quality of sleep.
Having already prioritized getting enough sleep, I set out to make the most of the sleep I was getting.
In today’s podcast, I share with you my journey on upgrading my sleep by changing the shape of my mouth and training my body to comfortably nasal breathe.
This is especially for you if you're someone who struggles with obstructive sleep apnea, shallow sleep, insomnia, snoring, teeth grinding, tooth decay, jaw pain, allergies, asthma or other respiratory issues.
Honestly, the awareness from this conversation could change how you perceive not only your health issues, but your child’s too. Enjoy!

Thursday Oct 05, 2023
Thursday Oct 05, 2023
Sara Demick’s first response to hearing about Fiercely Empowered Mama was, “I don't need that... I already got it.”
But her intuition was nudging her to take a closer look.
“I was on the journey,” she says, “I knew the basics of how things worked, but oh my goodness... it was like scratching the surface from where I was to where I am now.”
In the four years since Sara joined FEM, she’s built up a local community of support and connection in southeast Michigan and experienced countless mindset shifts. She’s learned how to lean into illness, love on the body and embrace its communication as she raises her boys to be world changers.
Listen in to today's episode as Sara and I talk about:
- What made her say “YES” to FEM.
- How FEM only opens up one time a year, but it’s super easy to stay year after year.

- Raising kids who know how to take care of their own bodies.
- Raising boys that are in tune with their bodies.

- How it changes our children and their children and the lives of generations to come when we live with this level of choice and freedom.
- How our bodies are strong, and we have so much potential and so many options for natural health remedies.
- There is always something we can do!
- Real stories about Sara’s sons.
- Through this work, they were able to get to the root causes of the problems and actually heal them instead of masking them.
- A deeper understanding of our bodies and sharing this knowledge with our children.
- This gives us so much power. Our thoughts become things.
- FEM features that Sara loves:

Episode 94: FEMspirational Stories: Raising World Changers with Jessica
Friday Sep 22, 2023
Friday Sep 22, 2023
When Jessica started in Fiercely Empowered Mama, her son was expressing loud nervous system dysregulation. It took all of her energy to manage his big feelings throughout the day.
She knew these were asks for help, but she wasn’t sure what to do next.
In today's episode, you'll hear her incredible interview with me. Jessica goes in depth on the transformation her child has gone through since she joined FEM just eight short months ago.
We cover nervous system communication, sleeping through the night, no longer being a picky eater, building up her son's terrain and so much more!
You'll hear us talk about:
- FEM member stories — doors are only open one time a year!
- Jessica’s story about her natural health journey, and her son’s story that led her to FEM.
- The similarities that our children were showing, signs that they're "not okay" and nervous system communication.
- Jessica’s wins with her son that she's experienced while being in FEM:
- He's now sleeping through the night.
- He now eats almost anything.
- He drinks herbal infusion tea.
- These big wins happened after a Care Clinic session and protocol with me.
- What the Care Clinic inside the FEM program is all about, and what came up for Jessica’s son.
- For some of our kiddos, we take extra steps to help create space when their systems are overloaded.
- Mindset work, how we need to unlearn before we can learn something new, and how Jessica built up her son's terrain.
- In FEM, we talk about germs not being the bad buys. Other people don't get us sick; we must take responsibility for our own bodies and change our perspectives. It's OKAY to get sick.
- What is a natural tool kit and how does it grow and expands while inside FEM?
- EMF bracelets and their uses.
- Favorite FEM features:
- Integration Meet-Ups
- The FEM Facebook community
- The FEM Protocol Vault!
- Muscle testing + more coming in FEM 2024!

- The FEM course and Ask Me Whatever Wednesdays.
- Real Food Meetups with Stephanie + the adventure and determination to find RAW milk.
- What would Jessica say to someone who's on the waitlist for FEM 2024 but isn't sure if this is for them?
- The cost of the other way, the time that can be saved by getting to the root cause and changing the future in real time.
- The cool thing about FEM is the way we continue to grow and evolve the program together!
- Jessica is an open book and willing to answer questions. If it feels in alignment with you, reach out and make a connection with her.

In this 3-hour workshop, I’ll be sharing what I believe has made the BIGGEST shifts in my life and how you can apply it to yours.
You’ll:
