124. The Healing Practices that Changed my Life

Build your healing toolbox. The practice that changes your life will feel like coming home.In this episode of Next Level You, Stefanie shares why she stopped believing there is only “one right way” to heal, and how real transformation often happens when you combine multiple modalities that support the mind, body, subconscious, and spirit. She opens up about her own journey of realizing that talk therapy alone was not enough to heal certain patterns at the root, and how adding deeper tools helped her regulate her nervous system, reconnect to intuition, and create lasting change.Stefanie walks you through what it means to create a personalized healing toolbox, why you are allowed to experiment, and how to know what is truly working for you. This episode is an empowering invitation to try what calls to you, keep what resonates, and release what does not.In this episode, Stefanie covers:Why talk therapy can be powerful, but not always the full answer The difference between conscious healing and subconscious, body-based healing Tools she has used in her own journey, including EMDR, Reiki, hypnotherapy, subliminals, time in nature, and intuitive support How Reiki supported nervous system regulation and opened deeper healing How hypnotherapy can help reprogram beliefs around money, worthiness, and success Why healing through the five senses matters, and what “consumption” really includes How to know when you have found a modality that is truly for you If you have been feeling stuck or like something is missing, this episode will help you expand your perspective and start building a toolbox that actually fits the version of you you are becoming.Let us know what you think!Support the showJoin my Email List!Buy Me a Drink!Affiliate Links:Select Balance: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)Gloci: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)The Patch Method: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off) Kin Euphorics: Affiliate LinkFuture Self Apparel: www.futureselfapparel.com (Use Code: STEFANIE10)Short Story Box: https://shortstorybox.com/referral/stefaniedingbaum(Your $25 Styling Fee gets waived)Earthley Wellness: https://earthley.com/ref/stefdingbaum/For First-Time Customers: use code CHOOSENATURAL to enjoy a 10% discountFor Returning Customers: use code COMEBACK to receive 10% off your orderConnect with Stefanie:Follow me on Instagram: @stefanie.dingbaumStefanie Dingbaum Clarity Coaching: www.stefaniedingbaum.comhello@stefaniedingbaum.comFind out more about my therapy private practice:www.waveshealingtherapy.comwaveshealingtherapy@hush.com...

123. What are you Actually Numbing?

Your next level self does not need alcohol to feel confident, connected, or fun.In this episode, Stefanie is joined by Cate Reisburg of Coached by Cate for an honest conversation about alcohol, identity, and the mindset shifts that make lasting lifestyle change possible. Together, they explore why so many women default to drinking on autopilot, what it can reveal about what you’re numbing, and how choosing sobriety (or simply drinking less) often becomes a gateway to deeper self trust, better sleep, stronger boundaries, and more aligned relationships.Cate shares practical strategies for navigating social pressure, redefining what “fun” looks like, and staying true to the version of you you’re becoming. Stefanie also emphasizes the inner work that has to happen alongside behavior change, like asking the hard questions, getting real about your habits, and being willing to evolve your routines and even your friendships when needed.In this episode, you’ll hear: Why reducing alcohol is often an identity shift, not just a health decision How to handle social pressure without spiraling into people pleasing Why some friendships change when you stop drinking Tips for staying in control when you do choose to drink, including boundaries and pacing The “future self” framework for deciding what habits stay and what habits go Why sobriety can reveal what you’ve been avoiding, and how healing supports changeContact Cate via Instagram: @coachedbycateLet us know what you think!Support the showJoin my Email List!Buy Me a Drink!Affiliate Links:Select Balance: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)Gloci: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)The Patch Method: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off) Kin Euphorics: Affiliate LinkFuture Self Apparel: www.futureselfapparel.com (Use Code: STEFANIE10)Short Story Box: https://shortstorybox.com/referral/stefaniedingbaum(Your $25 Styling Fee gets waived)Earthley Wellness: https://earthley.com/ref/stefdingbaum/For First-Time Customers: use code CHOOSENATURAL to enjoy a 10% discountFor Returning Customers: use code COMEBACK to receive 10% off your orderConnect with Stefanie:Follow me on Instagram: @stefanie.dingbaumStefanie Dingbaum Clarity Coaching: www.stefaniedingbaum.comhello@stefaniedingbaum.comFind out more about my therapy private practice:www.waveshealingtherapy.comwaveshealingtherapy@hush.com...

122. You Don't Have to Be Sick Enough to Want to Feel Better

Peptides and GLP medications can be life changing, but they are not magic. They amplify what is already happening in your body, which is why your lifestyle, metabolic health, and expectations matter more than ever.In this episode, Stefanie sits down with Michelle Kilduff, a GLP + peptide performance coach, to bridge the gap between “getting the prescription” and actually getting lasting results. Michelle breaks down what peptides and GLPs do, why so many people stall or rebound, and the missing education piece that leaves people confused about dosing, reconstitution, side effects, and sustainable body composition change.They talk about why peptides can be an incredible tool when used responsibly, but also why this is the season to tighten up foundations like nutrition, strength training, sleep, and stress, not relax them. Michelle also addresses the shame and secrecy that can come with using GLPs and peptides, and invites listeners to get informed, ask questions, and seek professional guidance so they are not white knuckling the process alone.In this episode, you’ll hear: What a peptide and GLP performance coach actually does Why peptides and GLPs are not a “magic injection” The biggest gap in the industry: lack of education and support Why poor metabolic health and low quality lifestyle get amplified on peptides What went wrong with the GLP boom and how to do it differently now Common pitfalls: adverse effects, unrealistic expectations, rebound weight gain Why strength training, protein, sleep, and lifestyle fundamentals still matter How to reduce shame and make informed, empowered decisionsConnect with Michelle:Instagram: @michelle.kilduff (she can guide you toward quality peptide education and options through the link in her bio)Michelle’s websiteLet us know what you think!Support the showJoin my Email List!Buy Me a Drink!Affiliate Links:Select Balance: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)Gloci: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)The Patch Method: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off) Kin Euphorics: Affiliate LinkFuture Self Apparel: www.futureselfapparel.com (Use Code: STEFANIE10)Short Story Box: https://shortstorybox.com/referral/stefaniedingbaum(Your $25 Styling Fee gets waived)Earthley Wellness: https://earthley.com/ref/stefdingbaum/For First-Time Customers: use code CHOOSENATURAL to enjoy a 10% discountFor Returning Customers: use code COMEBACK to receive 10% off your orderConnect with Stefanie:Follow me on Instagram: @stefanie.dingbaumStefanie Dingbaum Clarity Coaching: www.stefaniedingbaum.comhello@stefaniedingbaum.comFind out more about my therapy private practice:www.waveshealingtherapy.comwaveshealingtherapy@hush.com...

121. What Keeps me up at night (Therapist Edition)

Your anxiety might not be anxiety. It might be hormones, nutrient deficiencies, or a body that is begging you to stop treating the symptom and start looking for the root.In this episode, Stefanie shares what truly “keeps her up at night” as a therapist and holistic practitioner. She gets real about a pattern she sees constantly in clients who are labeled with anxiety and depression, prescribed medication, and told their labs are “normal,” yet they still feel exhausted, foggy, reactive, and stuck. Stefanie explains why traditional talk therapy and medication can be helpful but are not always the full answer when the body is out of balance.She breaks down the physical symptoms that often get misfiled as mental health issues, why standard lab ranges can miss what is actually going on, and why she believes a whole-body approach matters if you want lasting healing. This episode is both a wakeup call and a permission slip to advocate for deeper testing, better support, and a more integrative path forward.In this episode, Stefanie covers: Why some “anxiety and depression” symptoms may actually be hormonal or nutritional The red flag symptoms she listens for (fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, sleep issues, PMS, weight changes, gut and skin concerns, low libido, and more) The difference between “normal” labs and optimal levels Why many people get stuck when they only use talk therapy or medication How to advocate for comprehensive bloodwork and deeper answers Why working with an integrative or functional practitioner alongside therapy can be a game changer If you have been told everything is fine but you know it is not, this episode will help you name what might be missing and what next steps to take.Let us know what you think!Support the showJoin my Email List!Buy Me a Drink!Affiliate Links:Select Balance: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)Gloci: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)The Patch Method: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off) Kin Euphorics: Affiliate LinkFuture Self Apparel: www.futureselfapparel.com (Use Code: STEFANIE10)Short Story Box: https://shortstorybox.com/referral/stefaniedingbaum(Your $25 Styling Fee gets waived)Earthley Wellness: https://earthley.com/ref/stefdingbaum/For First-Time Customers: use code CHOOSENATURAL to enjoy a 10% discountFor Returning Customers: use code COMEBACK to receive 10% off your orderConnect with Stefanie:Follow me on Instagram: @stefanie.dingbaumStefanie Dingbaum Clarity Coaching: www.stefaniedingbaum.comhello@stefaniedingbaum.comFind out more about my therapy private practice:www.waveshealingtherapy.comwaveshealingtherapy@hush.com...

120. Microdose: What Keeps Me Up At Night (Mom Edition)

The things that keep you up at night are not proof you are failing. They are proof you care.In this microdose episode, Stefanie gets real and vulnerable about the thoughts that run through her mind in the quiet moments, especially as a spiritual entrepreneur, wife, and mom. She shares the specific areas that tend to pull at her nervous system and why these worries are not about “doing it wrong,” but about being awake and intentional about what matters.This episode is a permission slip to name what has been weighing on you, release the guilt around it, and choose one small action that supports the version of you you are becoming.In this episode, Stefanie shares what keeps her up at night: Staying consistent with nervous system care (and why it is a necessity, not a luxury) Being fully present with her son and making sure he is having enriching, fun experiences Pouring into her marriage and protecting the foundation of the family Showing up in friendships with real reciprocity and intention Learning to be okay with the never-ending to-do list and trusting what got done is enough Staying committed to health and wellness routines that support her energy and capacity Challenge: Ask yourself: What keeps you up at night?

119. Your Body Has Been Whispering — It's Time to Listen

Healing is not just about managing symptoms. It is about getting curious enough to find the root.In this episode, Stefanie sits down with Lindsey Burwell for a grounded conversation about root-cause healing, inflammation, and why so many women feel metabolically stuck even when they feel like they are “doing all the right things.” Lindsey shares her passion for looking beneath the surface to identify what is driving symptoms at the cellular level, and why healing often requires a more holistic, integrative approach than most of us were taught.Together, they talk about how disconnected modern life is from the way our bodies were designed to live, and why mindset and belief in your body’s ability to heal matters more than people realize. This episode is a reminder that you are not broken. You might just be out of alignment with what your body actually needs.In this episode, you’ll learn: What “root-cause healing” really means and why it matters Common reasons women feel inflamed or metabolically stuck Why symptom chasing keeps people spinning How integrative and holistic practitioners can be a missing piece The connection between modern lifestyle stressors and inflammation Why trusting your body’s ability to heal is part of the process Guest: Lindsey Burwell Root-cause focused health practitioner supporting women who feel inflamed, metabolically stuck, or disconnected from how their body is meant to function.Let us know what you think!Support the showJoin my Email List!Buy Me a Drink!Affiliate Links:Select Balance: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)Gloci: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)The Patch Method: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off) Kin Euphorics: Affiliate LinkFuture Self Apparel: www.futureselfapparel.com (Use Code: STEFANIE10)Short Story Box: https://shortstorybox.com/referral/stefaniedingbaum(Your $25 Styling Fee gets waived)Earthley Wellness: https://earthley.com/ref/stefdingbaum/For First-Time Customers: use code CHOOSENATURAL to enjoy a 10% discountFor Returning Customers: use code COMEBACK to receive 10% off your orderConnect with Stefanie:Follow me on Instagram: @stefanie.dingbaumStefanie Dingbaum Clarity Coaching: www.stefaniedingbaum.comhello@stefaniedingbaum.comFind out more about my therapy private practice:www.waveshealingtherapy.comwaveshealingtherapy@hush.com...

118. Microdose: The Art of Swapping Services

Service swaps can be an incredible win win, or they can quietly build resentment if the energy is off.In this microdose episode of Next Level You, Stefanie breaks down the art of service swaps and how to navigate them with alignment, integrity, and clear expectations. She shares why swaps can be a powerful way to access support you truly need (without defaulting to cash), build community, and create organic referrals, as long as both people genuinely want what the other is offering.Stefanie also gets real about the potential pitfalls, like mismatched value, unclear boundaries, and swaps that feel more like an obligation than a gift. This episode will help you understand when a swap is a true energetic yes, and when it is a polite no.In this episode, you’ll learn: What a service swap is and why it can be so valuable The key sign a swap is aligned: both people truly want the other’s service Why swaps should never be your default, but can be powerful in the right season How to avoid awkwardness, mismatched expectations, and feeling insulted The importance of roughly equal value, clear boundaries, and honest communication How swaps can support connection, reciprocity, and referrals when done well Quick reflection: Before you agree to a swap, ask: Would I still want this if money was involved? If the answer is not a clear yes, it is probably not aligned.Let us know what you think!Support the showJoin my Email List!Buy Me a Drink!Affiliate Links:Select Balance: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)Gloci: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)The Patch Method: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off) Kin Euphorics: Affiliate LinkFuture Self Apparel: www.futureselfapparel.com (Use Code: STEFANIE10)Short Story Box: https://shortstorybox.com/referral/stefaniedingbaum(Your $25 Styling Fee gets waived)Earthley Wellness: https://earthley.com/ref/stefdingbaum/For First-Time Customers: use code CHOOSENATURAL to enjoy a 10% discountFor Returning Customers: use code COMEBACK to receive 10% off your orderConnect with Stefanie:Follow me on Instagram: @stefanie.dingbaumStefanie Dingbaum Clarity Coaching: www.stefaniedingbaum.comhello@stefaniedingbaum.comFind out more about my therapy private practice:www.waveshealingtherapy.comwaveshealingtherapy@hush.com...

In this solo episode of Next Level You, Stefanie is pulling back the curtain on how she has used her Human Design chart to build a business that feels aligned, sustainable, and deeply fulfilling.

115. Stop Comparing Your Chapter 1 to Their Chapter 10

In this Microdose episode, Stefanie shares a mindset shift that can completely change how you grow: learning from expanders without falling into the comparison trap. Recording from Minneapolis while finishing her clinical hypnotherapy training, she explains why seeing someone a few steps ahead of you is one of the fastest ways to expand your belief in what’s possible, as long as you stop comparing your Chapter 1 to their Chapter 10.Stefanie breaks down what an expander is, why your brain needs evidence to believe new outcomes are possible, and how to use someone else’s success as inspiration instead of a reason to feel behind. She shares examples of expanders who have impacted her, plus practical guidance for staying in your lane, protecting your confidence, and letting their wins fuel your own next move.You’ll also hear a powerful reminder: you are likely already someone else’s expander, and your growth matters more than you realize.In this episode: What “expanders” are and why they accelerate growth How comparison quietly kills momentum and confidence How to learn from mentors without trying to become them Why celebrating their wins and yours matters The mindset shift of remembering you are proof for someone, too Challenge: Identify one expander in your life. Ask yourself what they’ve shown you is possible, then take one inspired action this week based on that, without comparing timelines.Let us know what you think!Support the showJoin my Email List!Buy Me a Drink!Affiliate Links:Select Balance: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)Gloci: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off)The Patch Method: Affiliate Link (You will automatically receive 10% off) Kin Euphorics: Affiliate LinkFuture Self Apparel: www.futureselfapparel.com (Use Code: STEFANIE10)Short Story Box: https://shortstorybox.com/referral/stefaniedingbaum(Your $25 Styling Fee gets waived)Earthley Wellness: https://earthley.com/ref/stefdingbaum/For First-Time Customers: use code CHOOSENATURAL to enjoy a 10% discountFor Returning Customers: use code COMEBACK to receive 10% off your orderConnect with Stefanie:Follow me on Instagram: @stefanie.dingbaumStefanie Dingbaum Clarity Coaching: www.stefaniedingbaum.comhello@stefaniedingbaum.comFind out more about my therapy private practice:www.waveshealingtherapy.comwaveshealingtherapy@hush.com...
