Dr. Krystyna Holland's (she/her/hers) journey as a provider started as a patient. Frustrations with her own medical treatment, including feeling unheard, short appointment times, and one-size-fits-all treatment have inspired her to go the extra mile when it comes to empowering her patients to be an active participant in their healthcare, starting in their physical therapy sessions.

 She has seen how healthcare discrepancies impact patient care and experience, and she started Inclusive Care to provide quality healthcare to everyone, regardless of their position on the gender identity spectrum.

She wishes everyone knew about pelvic health and how it relates to having pleasurable sex, strength and stability, and staying dry, which is why she puts out information on social media and hosts interactive workshops.

She knows first hand the power of pelvic floor physical therapy and how it can build confidence in your ability to stop having painful sex, stop leaking, and start living.

What do Pollinators have to do with Self Love?  A lot, actually!  In this week's episode of the Find Your Feminine Fire Podcast, I'm talking with artist Ali Beckman of @soflytaxidermy all about intimate belonging, pollinators, confidence, and more.

In her debut book, Bee a Good Human: A Pollinator’s Guide to a Better Life, Beckman illustrates the importance of pollinators along with a healthy dose of body positivity and mental health awareness through her witty comics featuring actual insects in everyday situations.   Through the cartoons, Beckman shares a narrative of self-growth and finding confidence within, all while making people laugh. The genius behind her work is that the insects many people fear reflect back our own insecurities and hopes, allowing us all to see our significance in the world.

Ali Beckman is the creator of @SoFlyTaxidermy on Instagram. In 2016, she came home one day to find two dead flies lying next to each other. She couldn’t get over the image of the two flies having a conversation before they died. So, she grabbed a piece of paper, picked up the flies, got her pen out, and started drawing.

Beckman, using creatures that are donated, purchased, or found dead to create amusing cartoons, highlights the integral role insects have in our environment. Typically, honeybees are considered the only pollinator worth saving, but pollinators, like people, come in all shapes and sizes! Did you know a tiny midge, cousin to the fly, pollinates chocolate? Or that beetles are essential for pollinating some flowers? Insects and their contributions to our ecosystem are hard to ignore: without them, our planet wouldn't survive. 

Beyond bugs, however, Beckman’s art speaks to the importance of self-love. Through the cartoons, Beckman shares a narrative of self-growth and finding confidence within, all while making people laugh. Get her book HERE.

Trauma Resolution- what is it? Can we ever be fully resolved of our trauma? The key may lie in the connection you hold to your body and its truth.

My guest this week is an incredible expert in the field of somatic trauma healing, Denise Chang. Denise is a queer enby femme, somatic trauma resolution guide, and co-creator of consensual culture- a community collective and relational healing ecology for trauma resolution and QTBIPOC liberation. 

Denise is an immigrant of  Malaysian-Chinese decent, who came to the U.S. at age 21 to attend college. After experiencing the American culture of self expression and sexuality, Denise discovered repressed trauma and shame in their heart that would lead them to learning more about how they could learn to trust themself as they uncovered layers leading to their true self.

The discovery of the layers of protection around their heart due to the conditioning and messaging they received around their identities gave Denise the clue they needed to begin exploring the spiral path through the parts of themself that needed more love, more attention, to simply be met and held.

This journey took Denise deep into the realms of somatic trauma healing where they learned that when the conditions are safe enough for us to express, our bodies respond and we can find deep healing and authenticity.

In this week’s episode, Denise brings their wisdom of somatic trauma resolution, spiritual embodiment and the uncanny ability to sense systems of oppression that exist within our culture and relational field to light.

If you are on the path of growth and empowerment, you most likely have experienced on some level, a low that marked a turning point for you in the way you cared for yourself and found your resilience and strength.

It may have felt like an insurmountable journey back to your peace, joy and comfort.

My guest this week on the Find Your Feminine Fire Podcast is Jacqueline Phillips, the author of Comfortably Uncomfortable. 

I'm so excited for you to hear her raw, unbridled account of who she was just two years ago and the remarkably uncomfortable journey she embarked on to find peace, joy and comfort in the life she lives today. ⁠

In her journey, Jacqueline experienced stress, isolation and the feeling of being trapped day in and day out that pushed her to her breaking point. She is here to share how she broke free and reinvented herself from the top down. 

Her metamorphosis from a self-loathing, socially toxic, suicidal person to the happy, peaceful, confident person she is today is a story that will inspire you if you have found yourself burned out, overwhelmed with stress, or living a life that somehow didn’t turn out the way you planned.
