• Have You Been Parenting from Your Own Wounds? Why Our Kids Trigger Us with Lael Stone

  What if the hardest parts of parenting aren't about your child at all but about your own past asking to be seen?This conversation with Lael Stone cracked something open for me and I know it will for you too. Lael has spent over 20 years walking with families through birth, early childhood, the teen years and beyond. Her work gently but powerfully invites us to stop asking how to fix our kids and start asking how to meet them with more awareness and less of our own baggage. We talked about the parts of mothering that don’t always feel good, how to spot when you’re reacting from your wounds, and how to raise conscious, connected kids without abandoning yourself.Lael is a TEDx speaker, parenting educator, and founder of Woodline Primary School. She’s the author of “Raising Resilient and Compassionate Children” and her brand new book “Own Your Story” is now available. It’s a powerful guide to healing the imprints of your past so you can show up with clarity, confidence and compassion for yourself and the people you love.You can grab your copy here:https://www.panmacmillan.com.au/9781761269424/?v=5e9c52c6d618Key TakeawaysOur Kids Reflect Our Past – Triggers in parenting are often tied to unhealed childhood experiences we haven’t yet exploredConnection Creates Cooperation – Children are more willing to listen when they feel seen safe and emotionally supportedPerfect Parenting Is a Myth – You don’t have to love every phase of motherhood to be deeply connected to your kidsHealing Starts With Awareness – Your reactions are invitations to pause, reflect and shift old imprints into conscious choicesLetting Go Is Built In – Parenting is a long unfolding of trust and surrender as your children grow into themselvesThere’s No Fixing Needed - We are all works in progress and the goal is never perfection just deeper honesty and careWhere to Find Our GuestLael Stone’s Website: https://www.laelstone.com.auLael Stone on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laelstone/Lael Stone on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laelstone/Links & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment!

• When No One Believes You: Endometriosis, IVF, and the Cost of Misdiagnosis | Katherine Hay

  What if your health challenges were signals, not setbacks? What if the turning point wasn’t the diagnosis, but the decision to trust your instincts?In this grounded and powerful conversation, I’m joined by clinical nutritionist Katherine Hay. Katherine’s work in gut health, hormones, fertility, and women’s wellbeing is shaped by her own lived experience. Diagnosed with PCOS in her teens and later with Stage 4 endometriosis in 2022, she spent years navigating symptoms that were overlooked or dismissed. Her story is one of deep self-trust, persistent advocacy, and a clear-eyed view of what women are still up against in today’s medical model.Katherine has become one of Australia’s most trusted voices in clinical nutrition. Through her work at Kaptured Nutrition and her supplement line, All Things Better, she supports women across every life stage—from preconception through postpartum—with care that’s clear, effective, and deeply informed. We talk IVF, supplement standards, nervous system support, and why foundations like food and rest still matter most. This is a conversation about healing, but also about staying curious, choosing clarity, and remembering that your body is always speaking.Key TakeawaysHormonal Symptoms Deserve Answers – Period pain, fatigue, and mood swings aren't random. They’re signs your body needs support.Endometriosis Requires Advocacy – Misdiagnosis is common. Katherine’s journey shows how vital it is to trust your gut and push for proper care.IVF Is a Whole-Body Journey – Fertility struggles impact more than the physical. Nervous system support, nutrition, and mindset matter.Supplements Should Be Effective, Not Just Popular – Most prenatal vitamins are underdosed or poorly absorbed. Therapeutic formulations change everything.Nutrition Heals from the Root – Gut health, mineral balance, and foundational nutrition are essential for hormone balance and fertility.Even Practitioners Burn Out – Helping others doesn’t mean you're immune to depletion. Katherine shares how seeking help became her turning point.Where to Find Our GuestKatherine Hay on IG: https://www.instagram.com/katherine_hay_nutritionistAll Things Better supplements: https://www.allthingsbetter.com.auKaptured Nutrition: https://www.kapturednutrition.com.auLinks & Resources📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis🌿 Join NK x The Membership – Your Wellness Sanctuary!Created by me to help women reclaim their body wisdom with expert support, exclusive resources, and a like-minded community.✨ What’s Inside?✔ Early access to new Masterclasses & Challenges✔ Unlimited access to 20+ Masterclasses & 25+ free ebooks✔ VIP perks—events, expert Q&As & private community✔ 20% off practitioner-grade supplements✔ Direct access to Nat via live Q&As & Facebook chat💖 Join today & take charge of your health!👉 Sign Up Now: https://natkringoudis.thrivecart.com/the-membership-x-nat-kringoudis/🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment!

• One Minute I Was Thriving, The Next I Was in Tears: What No One Tells You About Perimenopause | Kathryn Carter

  What do you do when you’re high-functioning on the outside but falling apart inside? In this episode, I’m joined by Kathryn Carter, whose story stopped me in my tracks. She was leading teams, raising a family, traveling for work, and then found herself sobbing in a change room because they didn’t have her size. That moment cracked something open.Kathryn shares what it was like to experience perimenopause without knowing it. Years of symptoms she brushed off as stress, including brain fog, overwhelm, and emotional outbursts that didn’t make sense at the time. Together we explore why so many women are caught off guard, how early it can start, and the emotional cost of not being prepared. This one is raw, real, and a reminder that perimenopause isn’t something you deal with later. It’s already happening for so many of us, and we deserve better conversations now.Key TakeawaysPerimenopause starts earlier than you think – Many women begin experiencing symptoms in their 30s without realizing it.Invisible symptoms are real – Brain fog, emotional swings, and fatigue are often overlooked or dismissed.It’s not just stress – Many women misread hormonal shifts as personal failure or mental burnout.Silence is costing us – Most women aren’t talking about perimenopause with their mothers, partners, or doctors.We need new norms – It’s time to educate ourselves and the next generation about every life stage, not just puberty or pregnancy.You’re not alone – Sharing our stories is the first step in feeling seen, heard, and supported.Where to Find Our GuestKathryn Carter’s Website: https://mypause.comKathryn Carter on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mypause.health/Kathryn Carter on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathryn-carter-6b053813/Links & ResourcesTake 20% off your order at https://mypause.com with code NAT20 — curated wellness tools to support your cycle, hormones, and daily balance.📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis
