What if cooking didn’t have to feel like a chore…

What if it could actually feel like coming home to yourself?

In this heartwarming episode of the Professional Women’s Wellness Podcast, Dr. Peggy sits down with Mary Collette Rogers, a chef, cooking coach, food gardener, and author of Kitchen Chaos to Culinary Bliss.

What happens when a childhood illness turns into a spiritual awakening? When pain becomes poetry, and trauma transforms into truth?

In this soul-opening episode of the Professional Women’s Wellness Podcast, Dr. Peggy welcomes Cooper Harrison — author, meditation coach, musician, and healer —

whose story is a testament to what’s possible when we allow ourselves to truly feel, heal, and grow.

Diagnosed with leukemia at age 7,

Cooper’s journey weaves through bullying, athletic triumphs, identity loss, heartbreak, healing, and ultimately, awakening.

Through the power of meditation, creative expression, and deep introspection, he teaches others how to regulate their nervous system, face their pain, and reconnect with their soul.

His book, Grand Rising Universe, chronicles 111 days of spiritual dialogue — a journal of healing written in real time.

This isn’t just a conversation — it’s a mirror, a map, and a meditation on what it means to become whole.

In this heartfelt episode of the Professional Women’s Wellness Podcast, I sit down with Cheryl Boon, a certified health coach who transformed her own life after being diagnosed with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis while raising three young kids.

Now, decades later, Cheryl’s not just surviving — she’s thriving.

She’s helping women over 45 do the same by getting to the real root causes behind chronic symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, autoimmune issues, and more.

Her message?

“Listen to your body when it whispers… so you don’t have to hear it scream.”

🌿 In this episode, we talk about:

Why symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog are often messages — not mysteries

The truth about toxins: where they hide in your food, your home, and even your makeup

What most detox programs miss (and why you should never rush the process)

How detoxing your brain is different—and why your fillings and filtered water matter

Why healing isn’t about being perfect… it’s about making empowered choices over time

“Autoimmune is not a disease. It’s a symptom. And that means there’s hope.”

“We’re not broken. We’ve just been uninformed. Healing starts with awareness.”
