Stories From The Lost and Found: The Journey Back to Self

Becoming a Stripper: Best Decision of My Life

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 06:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Stories From The Lost & Found, I sit down with Rachel Hinnen, an entrepreneur, acupuncturist and sex worker who has spent 12 years stripping while building an innovative premium beef business. Rachel shares how these seemingly separate worlds are connected through embodiment, agency, business and a deep respect for individuality. We talk about transforming retired dairy cows through regenerative farming, entering a male-populated industry as a first-generation farmer and the unexpected lessons the sex industry taught her about self-worth, boundaries, mentorship and human connection.

In this episode, we explore:

Why we do not have to fit into one identity.
How Chinese medicine shapes Rachel’s approach to farming.
Challenging tradition in a male-populated industry.
What stripping taught Rachel about self-worth and business.
Reclaiming agency through embodiment and sisterhood.
Finding connection beyond labels and stigma.

Rachel’s story is a powerful reminder that the path back to ourselves does not have to look conventional, linear or easily understood by other people. When we stop shrinking to fit inside someone else’s expectations, we create space to honour every part of who we are, trust our ideas and build a life that feels fully our own.

Tune in to this episode for an honest, bold and empowering conversation about self-worth, entrepreneurship, embodiment and having the courage to create your own lane.

The Inner Critic

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Stories From The Lost & Found, I explore where the inner critic comes from, why it can feel so convincing and how we can begin working with it through Internal Family Systems, subconscious healing and compassionate self-awareness.

In this episode, we explore:

Why the inner critic is often a protective part rather than a personal flaw.
How early experiences can shape subconscious beliefs such as “I’m not enough” or “I have to be perfect.”
Why fighting, silencing or arguing with the inner critic can make it louder.
How Internal Family Systems helps protective parts feel seen, understood and safe enough to soften.
The role of neuroplasticity and subconscious work in creating new beliefs and patterns.
A simple grounding practice to reconnect with your body, cultivate curiosity and ask yourself, “What do I need right now?”

Your inner critic is not trying to destroy you. It is often an exhausted part of you that learned to protect deeper wounds in the only way it knew how. When we meet that part with presence instead of resistance, we create space for greater trust, compassion and lasting change.

Tune in to this episode to understand the voice beneath your self-criticism and begin building a more supportive relationship with yourself. Follow, subscribe and share the episode with someone who may need this reminder.

Dr. Sienna Olson on Peptides, Recovery, and Redefining Body Image

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In this first official episode of Stories From The Lost & Found, I sit down with Dr. Sienna Olson, founder of SLO Rx, a concierge metabolic optimization and peptide coaching practice for women, with Doctorate in Chiropractic and a Master's in Sports Medicine. She shares about her deeply personal journey through body image struggles, hormone disruption and healing. What began as a pursuit of fitness led to a powerful transformation from the inside out. We also unpack the growing world of peptides, what they are, how they work, and why a thoughtful, personalised approach matters.

In this episode, we explore:

Dr. Sienna's journey from disordered eating to lasting healing.
Why mindset is just as important as physical transformation.
What peptides are, and how they differ from GLP-1 medications.
How inflammation, sleep and stress impact overall health.
Why a low and slow approach leads to better long-term results.
The importance of working with trusted practitioners and making informed choices.

Healing isn't about chasing who we used to be. It's about reconnecting with ourselves and creating a future that feels strong, healthy and aligned. I hope this conversation gives you a fresh perspective on what's possible when we combine science with self-awareness.

Tune in to this episode of Stories From The Lost & Found and join us for an honest conversation about healing, resilience and finding a path that truly supports your health.
