Why Your "Normal" Labs Might Not Be Optimal: Thyroid, Hormones, and Functional Medicine | Ashley Cruz Arata

Thu, 01 Oct 2026 11:04:01 GMT

Have you been told your labs are "normal" while you're exhausted, gaining weight, and not sleeping? Integrative health practitioner Ashley Cruz Arata lost half her thyroid, gained 40 pounds, and kept hearing "normal" until an oncologist asked if she'd ever tried natural medicine. She left a decade at Amazon to help women find the root cause.

This episode is for education, not medical advice. Talk with your own provider about your care.

Ashley had to learn the tech and email side of business from scratch. If that's the part you dread, that's exactly what I help with: https://www.lindspaulson.com

IN THIS EPISODE

A fall on black ice, a CT scan, and the thyroid nodule nobody was worried about
Why weight gain, hair loss, and broken sleep were early thyroid signals
"Normal" vs. optimal lab ranges, and why normal includes people who are already unwell
The three hormone buckets: thyroid, reproductive, and stress
How gut health affects thyroid hormones and estrogen clearance
The minerals your thyroid needs to work: iodine, selenium, and zinc
Why integrative health means the best of both worlds, not ditching your doctor
Losing two father figures to cancer in one year, and deciding not to wait for "later"
Leaving Amazon and learning the business side as she went
You are the expert on your own body

ABOUT ASHLEY

Ashley Cruz Arata is a Certified Integrative Health Practitioner who helps women over 35 get to the root cause of hormone and thyroid imbalances using functional lab testing and natural approaches. After years of hearing her labs were "normal," she healed her own body and now helps women feel seen in theirs again.

Thu, 10 Sep 2026 11:00:02 GMT

Theme Days: The Weekly Schedule That Ended My Decision Fatigue as a Business Owner

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 11:03:00 GMT

Are you tired from working, or tired from deciding what to work on every single morning? Here's the weekly rhythm I built so I only make the decision once and my calendar makes it for me after that: CEO Mondays, build days, content Thursdays, people Fridays, and weekends that are actually off.

Want more simple systems like this every week? Get the weekly Sunday Ops email: https://lindspaulson.myflodesk.com/messtomission

IN THIS EPISODE

The specific kind of tired that comes from deciding from a dead stop every day
Theme days: make the decision once and let your calendar make it after that
Monday is CEO day: if you don't start the week as the CEO, you spend it as the employee
Breaking big projects into bite-sized tasks so they leave your head
Tuesdays and Wednesdays are build days, because building for yourself always gets bumped
Thursday is content day: podcast, social, and email all go out
Friday closes loops so nothing dangles into the weekend
Why the weekend boundary holds the whole system together
When a kid gets sick: shrink the theme instead of abandoning it

Still going back and forth over email to book, onboard, and invoice every client? Here's exactly how I use Dubsado to run my client experience and my podcast guest process from one place, so it looks like I have a team when I don't.

Try Dubsado with my link (affiliate link): https://www.dubsado.com/?c=linds2026

The Bare Minimum Business Day: 5 Habits That Move the Needle When the Kids Are Home

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 11:03:00 GMT

What still moves the needle when you have 15 minutes and one free hand? When summer takes away your long work blocks, these five small habits keep your business healthy while you're at the pool: touch revenue first, trust your systems, follow up, capture instead of create, and protect one CEO pocket.

I'm building a community for moms running a business and a household at the same time. Get on the waitlist to hear first: https://lindspaulson.myflodesk.com/sunday

IN THIS EPISODE

Why summer shows you which five things were actually working
The reframe: you're tending your business, not planting it
Habit 1: one small money-forward action before the day fragments
Habit 2: trust the systems you already built, and stop redoing them by hand
Habit 3: follow up, because most "no" answers are really "just busy"
Habit 4: capture ideas now so fall content comes from a full well
Habit 5: a protected 30-minute CEO pocket, defended like a client call
The 20-minute bare minimum routine for the most fragmented days
Choosing the bare minimum on purpose is a mature business decision

LET YOUR SYSTEMS CARRY SUMMER

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 11:02:00 GMT

What if burnout is a systems failure before it's a personal one? In part two of the Enneagram series, I go type by type through how each Enneagram number experiences burnout, the kind of rest each type chronically skips, and how to build a rest protocol your business can actually support.

I'm building a community for moms who want systems that make rest possible. Get on the waitlist to hear first: https://lindspaulson.myflodesk.com/sunday

IN THIS EPISODE

Why burnout is often a systems failure before it's a personality one
The three kinds of rest entrepreneurs need: physical, mental, and soul rest
Type 1: permission-based rest and a Friday closeout ritual
Type 2: caregiving is not rest; let someone serve you
Type 3: unproductive time and the phone in another room
Type 4: low-stakes creativity just for you
Type 5: why solitude and research can still be output
Type 6: a gentle plan for a day off to signal safety
Type 7: stay in one place long enough to go deep
Type 8: movement, tenderness, and resting as strategy
Type 9: presence, not escape
How to write your own rest protocol and put it on your calendar

MISSED PART ONE?

Business Systems for Every Enneagram Type: Why That Routine Didn't Work for You

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 11:03:00 GMT

Tried the 5 AM routine, the cold plunge, and the color-coded Notion template, and quit two weeks later? You didn't fail that system; it failed you. In part one of the Enneagram series, I go through all nine types and the business systems that actually fit how each one is wired.

Not sure where your biggest system gap is? Start here: https://www.lindspaulson.com

IN THIS EPISODE

Enneagram 101: the heart, head, and body triads
Type 2: a boundary-first calendar and automated follow-ups
Type 3: document as you go and schedule maintenance windows
Type 4: systems that feel like art, plus unstructured creative windows
Type 5: a "good enough to launch" threshold and building in sprints
Type 6: decision frameworks, contingency plans, and a trusted council
Type 7: an idea parking lot and a finisher on your team
Type 8: communication systems and practicing the pause
Type 9: tiny actions and a conflict protocol
Type 1: a launch standard separate from your ideal standard
Your challenge: find your type and fix one system gap this week

The Invisible Load: Home Systems for Moms Who Run a Business

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:02:02 GMT

Ever been on a client call when your brain suddenly remembers picture day is tomorrow? That's the invisible load: all the remembering, anticipating, and coordinating it takes to run a home. Here's how to name it, share it, and build simple home systems so you can be present, not perfect.

I'm building a community for moms running a business and a household at the same time. Get on the waitlist to hear first: https://lindspaulson.myflodesk.com/sunday

IN THIS EPISODE

What the invisible (mental) load is, and why it drains you even when no one sees it
The home brain dump: write down everything you're mentally responsible for
Delegate: age-appropriate jobs for kids and clear ownership with your partner
Automate: recurring grocery pickup, autopay, and pet food on autoship
One shared app for the whole family's sports schedule
Let it go: not every season needs the Pinterest birthday party
The family command center: one calendar and one shared grocery list
Meal planning with a rotating list of 15 to 20 meals
Morning routines and a 10-minute evening reset
Why this is about presence, not efficiency

Your Email List Is a Dinner Party: Email Marketing for Small Business Owners Who Hate Selling

Thu, 28 May 2026 15:03:58 GMT

What happens to your business if the algorithm tanks your reach tomorrow? Your email list is the only audience you actually own.

Setting the table: a three-to-five email welcome sequence
Why pitching in the first email is like handing guests the bill before they sit down
The conversation: what to send every week and how often
Selling to your list without feeling gross
Why "my newsletter isn't converting" usually means you haven't offered anything

How to Write SOPs Before You Hire: Getting Your Business Out of Your Head

Thu, 14 May 2026 11:00:00 GMT

You can't scale what only lives in your head. Before you hire a VA, an OBM, or your first employee, here's how to document your processes so they can actually do the work: what to write down, which tools make it easy, and the mistakes that make an SOP useless.

Getting everything out of your head and onto paper is what I do: https://www.lindspaulson.com

IN THIS EPISODE

Why most business owners wait until they're drowning to document anything
Hiring paperwork that protects you: job descriptions, handbooks, and policies
Why your VA isn't your IT department
If you do it more than once, it's a process worth writing down
Start with a brain dump of every task on your calendar for a month
Record the task as you do it (screen recording or voice memo) and clean it up later
Store every SOP in one place your team can find
What every SOP needs: why it matters, logins, time to complete, and what "done right" looks like
Mistakes to avoid: acronyms, waiting for perfect, and documenting everything at once

TOOLS I USE FOR SOPS

Turn a screen recording into a written SOP with Kommodo: https://kommodo.ai/?via=lindsey

Store SOPs as tasks and checklists in ClickUp: https://app.clickup.com/signup?utm_source=in-app&utm_medium=owned&utm_campaign=inapp_owned_ar_ref_x_promo_all-devices_x_lp_in-app-referral_all-departments_x_settings&utm_term=9014462222_96155176&promo=SHARE10

The Unseen Battle: A Mother's Journey

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 11:03:03 GMT

This conversation delves into Laura's journey as a mother navigating the complex medical challenges faced by her daughter, LewLew. From the early struggles with her son Hayden's health issues to the mysterious illness that struck Lewlew, Laura shares her experiences of advocacy, the search for answers, and the importance of community support. The discussion highlights the emotional toll of medical challenges, the fight for proper diagnosis, and the empowerment that comes from sharing stories and building connections with others facing similar struggles. Laura also discusses her upcoming book, which aims to inspire and empower other mothers dealing with health issues in their children.

A Message from Laura:

Hello to all! I am Laura Zimmerman Whayne. Have had a long life of pain to purpose that ultimately led me to being able to get help for my son who had a rare immune deficiency. From helping my son, I learned that my instincts were right and it gave me the confidence to fight like hell to figure out what was wrong with my daughter, LewLew, when she got very sick in 2017. This journey led to battle after battle and helping over 5000 girls around the world. It took being creative, patient and headstrong to figure out how to get LewLew tested in a way that would show why she could not eat or drink. Once discovered, we were on a long and scary and ferocious battle for her life and others. Once the ABC news story aired (see attached) I was able to reach so many moms and girls around the world and it went from there. My job as a project manager for a custom building company actually led me to figure out a few things regarding LewLew's health. I was able to juggle working 40+ hours a week with project managing renovations and new builds in addition to high end real estate sales with RE/Max United along with fighting for thousands around the world. I founded a private group called Mama Lions (attached) to have a safe place to vent all of our worries, prayers and thoughts. LewLew is now in Grad school at UNC for public health. There is not a day that I ever take for granted that she is with us as in October 2021 we were told she probably would not survive. UNC calls LewLew their miracle kid. We do, too.

From Burnout to Balance: Alicia Croci's Story

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 12:04:00 GMT

Alicia Croci is a Business and Mindset Coach for moms who are ready to build six-figure businesses that actually support motherhood. After leaving her corporate 9–5 just one year into entrepreneurship, Alicia learned firsthand that building a business while raising a family isn’t a straight line — it’s a journey of messy action, pivots, and a lot of personal growth.

Four years into her business journey, after her son was born, she had to rebuild her business from the ground up — finding creative ways to make it work while being present as a mom, without losing herself or her income.

That experience strengthened her mission to help women create wealth that gives them the space to actually enjoy life. Today, she helps other moms do the same — building businesses that align with their lives, not the other way around.

You can connect with Alicia on Instagram @aliciacroci for honest conversations, mindset shifts, and practical business strategy that helps moms build both wealth and freedom.

Breaking the Stigma: A Chat with Kendall Concini

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT

A Note from the Author:

I’m Kendall Concini-Moore — a children’s author, mental health advocate, and the heart behind Mom’s Cloud at the Beach: Shining Light on Big Feelings. My work grew out of my own journey through motherhood and mental health — learning, sometimes the hard way, that emotions don’t need fixing, they need space to be felt.

Writing became my way of turning the mess into meaning. Mom’s Cloud at the Beach helps families talk about parental depression and emotional awareness through story — giving kids language for feelings and reminding adults that it’s okay to not be okay.

Through my blog, Cloudy Day Chronicles, and a growing collection of stories about emotional regulation and family connection, I share tools that invite openness, patience, and play into the conversation around mental health.

At the heart of everything I do is a belief that connection heals — and that storytelling can turn even our cloudiest moments into light for someone else. It’s been an amazing journey connecting with mental health podcasts and therapeutic agencies to build community, resources, and shared support.

Her shop is known for its vibrant mix of upcycled treasures, custom trucker hats, Texas-themed pieces, and handcrafted goods—many of which are created in-house or in collaboration with local artisans.

Morgan is also a proud mama of two, a new believer walking boldly in faith, and a firm believer that creativity can be redemptive. Through every piece in her store, Morgan’s mission is clear: to empower others to wear their story proudly—with strength, style, and Southern soul.

Breaking the Cycle: Self-discovery with Julie Sedler

Thu, 15 May 2025 11:03:00 GMT

A Note from Julie:

I'm Julie Sedler- a chemical engineer by training, but a storyteller at heart. I have spent years journaling and writing down my latest inspirations on random post-it-notes. This has brought the ‘in the moment’ commentary and perspective to my books, courses, and coaching. I released my first memoir, Watch Me, in 2023 on how I transformed my life after divorce.

I learned first hand that my new life would cost me my old one.

All the ‘tuition’ I paid for the experiences of tearing down my life, rebuilding it based on my own dreams, and breaking the cycles of ingrained conditioning for what I should want and do has led me to create my courses, workshops, and speeches to help others who find themselves in the same situations I did.

I am here to help others by guiding them on their own path of self-discovery and growth.

EFT & Manifestation: The Journey of Jocelyn Dawn

Thu, 06 Mar 2025 12:00:06 GMT

Jocelyn is an unschooling mama to 3 living in Costa Rica but her life wasn't always this bouji -- she chose the unconventional path that most are too afraid to take: Single Motherhood & Entrepreneurship.

At the lowest point in her life, living in government housing as a single mama to two, with zero support from the father, she decided to make a decision that would change their lives for generations to come: To take her children to Costa Rica alone.

She didn't know HOW, but she had an unwavering commitment to giving her children the childhood she wished she had. 8 months after making this decision, she was sitting on the beach in Costa Rica, sipping fresh coconut water watching her 2 & 4 year old kids splash in the waves.

Little did she know, she would manifest the guy of her dreams days after arriving in CR, start a new business and give birth to her 3rd child at home in the jungle. Nearly 5 years later, she has built an incredible life for herself & her family in Costa Rica - they travel often, live in paradise and have the life & business(s) of their dreams.

She now has been mentoring entrepreneurial women in the online space for nearly a decade and at the core of everything she teaches is that nothing changes until we change OURSELVES.

It doesn’t matter what you do, what you sell, what you build — nothing will significantly change until you change the ideas you hold about YOU.

Jocelyn is a Manifestation & EFT tapping Mentor and she is here to remind mamas all over the world that they too can create the life of their dreams through becoming the best of themselves & taking new action.

Whitney is a big believer that everyone has within themselves the capacity for change. She believes that every one of us knows what we need to do in order to heal and live our best possible lives.
