A Inside Look at Health Coaching – Special Series: Meet Tina

Running on Empty: Tina's Health Coaching Journey Begins
We're doing it again. Last time, we opened the doors to real health coaching sessions with Joanna, and so many of you told us how much it helped to hear coaching in action — not the polished version, the real one.


So we're back for with another awesome woman. Over the next several episodes, you'll hear real coaching conversations between Danna and a client we're calling Tina. Nothing scripted, nothing cleaned up.

US vs. Swiss Grocery Shopping: A Culture Clash - So Frickin' Mini

Got 10 Minutes? Why Europeans Are Losing It Over American Grocery Stores The World Cup brought a wave of Europeans into US grocery stores — and the internet lost it over package sizes. "We only shop once a month," the Americans said. "Then how is your fresh food still good?" the Europeans replied. Megan went down the comment-section rabbit hole and immediately needed Danna. What follows is a genuinely fascinating look at how shopping behavior, fridge size, and even bread shelf life reveal way mo

How to Advocate for Yourself When the Doctor Says It's All in Your Head ft. Belinda Balscheit

"Your Bloods Look Normal" Is Not a Diagnosis: Patient Advocacy & Perimenopause ft. Belinda Balscheit Listener Amanda was so passionate about today's guest, she sent a voice message to make sure we booked her. She was right. Belinda Balscheit is a two-time cancer survivor, women's health advocate, and patient advocacy powerhouse based in Basel — and this conversation is one of the most important we've had on the show. If you've ever been told your symptoms are all in your head, dismissed by a

The US, the Swiss & the Food Pyramid Nobody Told You About - So Frickin' Mini

Megan found a Dr. Jason Fung video called "The Food Pyramid Lie: Why We Got Fat" and immediately needed to talk about it. So here we are. The food pyramid you grew up with — the one that told you to build your entire diet on a mountain of bread and grains — was not based on science. It was based on lobbying. And the Swiss one? Also a little sus. Danna had never even heard of the Swiss food pyramid before this episode. She has thoughts.

Kombucha! What's all the fuss? ft. Gina Steinhauser, Swiss Kombucha Company

Got Booch? Ever grabbed a kombucha off the shelf thinking you're doing your gut a favor? Yeah… about that. In this episode, we sit down with Gina, founder of the Swiss Kombucha Company, to blow the lid off what's actually in most store-bought kombucha—and spoiler alert, a lot of it isn't even kombucha. Gina takes us behind the scenes of her journey from brewing 200 liters a month in her sticky kitchen to visiting 30+ breweries across North America and Europe (pretending to write a blog that neve

The 5 Love Languages (Plus 2 Danna Made Up) - So Frickin' Mini

Got 10 Minutes? Speaking Your Partner's Language (No, Not That One) It came up on the last So Frickin' Healthy Live. It keeps coming up in conversations. And honestly, it should come up more — because most relationship friction isn't about not loving each other enough, it's about not speaking the same language. Danna and Megan break down all five love languages, share what's working (and what took years to figure out) in their own marriages — and Danna officially adds two more to the list that G

Bloated, Crampy & Dismissed by Your Doctor? IBS vs. IBD - So Frickin' Mini

Got 10 Minutes? IBS vs IBD — Your Gut Is Trying to Tell You Something You've heard of IBS. You've probably said "I have IBS" at some point — maybe even without a formal diagnosis. But do you know what it actually means? And do you know the difference between IBS and IBD? Because they are not the same thing, and mixing them up could mean missing something your body really needs you to catch. Danna breaks it down — what each one is, how to tell them apart, what the warning signs are, and why your

Is Your Job Worth Going Back To After Maternity Leave? ft. Ben Fox

You Before Baby and You After Baby Are Not the Same Person ft. Ben Fox Yes, it's a guy talking about maternity leave. Danna said it before Megan could. But here's the thing — Ben Fox spent five years coaching women through one of the most professionally precarious moments of their lives, and he's genuinely good at it. This episode is for anyone who's pregnant, thinking about getting pregnant, or just came back from leave wondering why nothing feels the same anymore. Spoiler: you're not the same

Is Your Breakfast Giving You ADHD? So Frickin' Mini

Got 10 Minutes? What You Eat Is Messing With Your ADHD Megan was TikToking, as one does, and landed on a video about food-induced ADHD symptoms. She immediately thought of Danna. Because obviously. Both certified ADHD-havers, both deeply invested in food — which basically makes them experts. This one's for anyone whose brain feels like it's running 47 tabs and someone just spilled coffee on the keyboard. Whether you're diagnosed, suspicious, or just chronically scattered, the food-brain conne
