  • 171. America Healthy Again Actually Making America Healthier? With Hadlee Garrison, MPH
    Jun 16 2026

    Let’s talk about making America healthy again. 🇺🇸✨

    We’re flipping the script in this week's episode! Our very own favorite host of the Holistic Inner Balance podcast is stepping into the hot seat. Today, Hadlee Garrison, MPH is being interviewed by yours truly, Dr. Nicole Cain, for our first-ever deep dive into public health.

    And let’s just say… it’s a spicy one! 🔥👀

    We are touching on the controversial topics and doing an "alignment temperature check" on what health, policy, culture, and individual behavior really look like in our communities today.

    In this conversation, we’re breaking down:

    • Science-Backed Habits: How to build sustainable personal change for better energy, mental health, and everyday well-being.

    • The Public Health Lens: Blending evidence-based public health principles with practical coaching to make wellness actually feel doable.

    • Policy vs. Behavior: How our culture and the systems around us intersect with our daily choices.

    We’re inviting you to completely rethink what "healthy" can look like in your own life.

  • 170. Healing Attachment Wounds with Equine Therapy with Jacqueline Lauko
    Jun 2 2026
    What if healing could begin with simply slowing down, breathing deeply, and spending time in nature? 🐴✨ In this episode, equine therapist Jacqui shares insights on the healing power of horses, nervous system regulation, anxiety, trauma recovery, and the deep wisdom animals can offer us. Jacqui created her own model of equine assisted psychotherapy called The Icarus Model. She's been working with horses since 1999 and counseling children and young adults in Arizona since 2011, with certifications spanning clinical hypnosis, somatic experiencing, yoga, and multiple equine-specific modalities. We talk about: • Equine-assisted therapy and emotional healing • Why anxiety isn’t something to “get rid of” • Nervous system regulation and safety • The importance of choice, boundaries, and self-awareness • How horses mirror what we’re feeling Follow her in the socials: https://www.instagram.com/icarusmodel1/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ9HmKxPNFYB0Q4SOLUSl5w https://www.facebook.com/skyetherapy1 Listen now on the Holistic Inner Balance Podcast 🎙️ Additional Resources: 🤔 QUIZ: What Type of Anxiety Do You Deal With? 👉 Discover your Ayurveda mind-body constitution so you can work to balance it and optimize your health with this dosha quiz 💡Join Dr. Nicole's membership: The Holistic Wellness Collective 👉Learn more about Hadlee’s Happy Healthy Habits Coaching Program, a step-by-step program you've been searching for to actually follow through on your health and wellness goals 👉 Order Supplements Here 📖 Buy the book: PANIC PROOF: The New Holistic Solution to End Your Anxiety Forever 💻 Check out the available online courses: Ayurveda: The Key to Your SuccessMapping Out Your Benzo Taper 💕 Stay connected with us: Dr. Nicole on InstagramHappy Healthy Hadlee on Instagram Dr. Nicole Cain, ND MA is a pioneer in integrative approaches for mental and emotional wellness.

  • 169. Breaking Free from Shame & Self-Doubt with Melissa Vogel
    May 19 2026

    What if lasting transformation has less to do with willpower… and more to do with self-worth? ✨

    In this episode, we connect with Melissa Vogel, who brings a unique, mindset-focused approach to coaching — helping clients break through the mental and emotional barriers that stand between them and lasting physical change. We talked about the connection between mental and physical healing, learning to love the process, and why you can’t heal a body you hate.

    We explore: • Mindset shifts for lasting change • Healing old beliefs and shame • The “bus analogy” for understanding different parts of yourself • Why community and self-compassion matter so much

    This conversation is honest, empowering, and deeply healing. 🤍 Follow on her socials:
