Episode 96: FEMspirational Stories: Raising World Changers with Sara Demick
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.
- Some of her biggest wins and shifts:
- Taking ownership of their immune systems.
- Raising kids who know how to take care of their own bodies.
- Raising boys that are in tune with their bodies.
- Sara’s experience with emotion code, tapping and helping her boys work through their emotions in a healthy way.
- Mindset shifts when an illness hits, and seeing it as an opportunity for the body to help kids to detox and grow.
- How Sara is one of our FEM mentors in Michigan.
- She loves having deeper conversations and building a community of like-minded mamas.
- How the knowledge you gain in FEM and the support of Team Tonya and the FEM community is like nothing else on the internet.
- Starting with the understanding that every child is different and learning how to individualize their care.
- Sway testing and muscle testing, and how this tool can be so empowering.
- 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:
- The Community
- FEM Course Modules
- The Vault
- How Fiercely Empower Mama opens up once a year and the time is coming.
- We are sharing real stories from women who walk this path.
- What Sara would say to someone who was on the fence about joining FEM.
- How Sara would explain FEM to someone who has never heard of it before.

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.

Friday Jul 14, 2023
Recognizing the ways you self-sabotage is a huge part of doing the work. This is how your subconscious mind will try to communicate with you.
No matter how long you’ve been on this journey, forms of self-sabotage can sneak up on you — especially when you’re pushing yourself outside your comfort zone.
In today’s episode, I share with you some common ways this happens and, most importantly, how to tap into the wisdom of the behavior to move yourself forward.

Episode 87: The Messiness of Decision Making
Friday Jul 07, 2023
Friday Jul 07, 2023
Let’s be real. Making decisions is a massive part of life. Every day, all day, we are decision-making machines.
Where we struggle most is with making the decisions that align to our biggest desires. We tend to sit on the sidelines of life, waiting to be ready, afraid to get it wrong.
In today’s episode, I share with you the truth about decision making. And the truth is, when you’re making big-ish decisions, it’s going to be messy. You’re often going to find yourself in unexpected places, feeling uncertainly certain, facing another plot twist.
It’s time to normalize this process. Because it’s only when you make a decision that the unfolding begins to happen. And while the unfolding is seldom a straight line, if you trust the path, it always ends up better — and often so much bigger — than you would have ever thought.
Action: What decisions are pending in your life right now that need immediate attention? Where are you sitting on the sidelines waiting instead of deciding, taking aligned action and trusting in the messiness of the unfolding?
