There's another way.
The Fiercely Awakening Podcast is devoted to helping mothers heal their families naturally, trust the wisdom of their own bodies, and reclaim the vibrant life they're meant for, without fear, quick fixes or handing their power to anyone else.
Host Dr. Tonya Holcomb, naturopathic doctor and founder of Fiercely Empowered Mama, shares insights from more than a decade in practice and the thousand-plus women she's guided to become the healers of their homes, alongside candid conversations with the health experts she trusts, the practitioners and mamas living this work, and the bold thinkers exploring mindset, purpose and what becomes possible on the other side of fear. So you can move from confusion and second-guessing to confidence and clarity... with deeper trust in your body, a calmer home, more energy and the freedom to finally want more from your life.
You are Fiercely Awakening. Welcome.

Does it feel like you never have enough time?
Or, perhaps, the older you get, the faster time goes. Or, maybe, you spend a lot of energy thinking or wishing you were further ahead.
In today’s episode, let’s get grounded in the TRUTH about time.
"The distinction between past, present and future is only an illusion, however persistent." ~Albert Einstein

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.

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?

When we want to reduce our stress levels, we often do things like meditating, going for a walk or taking a hot bath.

In today’s episode, I break down what stress is and what you can do right now to lessen the ways you feel it in your body. Ultimately, this will give you so much more space to hold the notes of joy.

Naturopathy is a philosophy, art and science that recognizes the body’s inherent processes of healing. In fact, it’s the oldest form of healing, dating back thousands of years.
Many people don’t realize that the foundation of naturopathic philosophy is built upon Hippocrates’ principles, such as “first do no harm,” “let food be thy medicine” and “all diseases begin in the gut.”
Naturopathy takes the whole person into consideration and uses natural modalities and a non-invasive approach to address root causes, stimulate healing, and ultimately achieve harmony in the body, mind and spirit.
Naturopathy has helped millions of people. Some could argue that it’s helped every single living person whether they know it or not, because it employs the healing benefits of living foods, water that’s fresh and clean, sunlight, movement, herbs, essential oils, massage therapy, homeopathy, positive thinking, and the list goes on.
Naturopathy shines as preventative medicine. By embracing its fundamental laws of natural living, one is able to maintain freedom from dis-ease. It’s no wonder that today, naturopathy is the primary form of healing for more than 65% of the world’s population.
Naturopaths are trained to understand the uniqueness of each person — their vital force, their constitution, their pre-dispositions to dis-ease and the roots of their symptoms. This allows for a custom approach when determining which naturopathic modalities and therapies would best support a client and their healing.
In today’s episode, I share with you a high-level perspective of naturopathy, the healing process and what it means to address root causes.
