In this episode of Slightly Spiritual, we sit down with Michelle Penicook, RD, LD a registered dietitian specializing in fertility and functional medicine. Michelle’s journey into this work began with her own health challenges — from endometriosis and autoimmune disease to mold toxicity and chronic Lyme. Those experiences completely transformed how she views the body, healing, and the resilience we’re capable of when we have the right tools and support.
Together, we explore the conversation around hormones and fertility- and how Michelle helps women uncover the “why” behind their fertility struggles.
We discuss:
The difference between conventional and functional fertility care — and why “normal” labs aren’t always the full picture and leave women struggling.
Birth control and how it impacts fertility and hormones
How emotional healing and mindset play as big a role as physical health in conception
What “unexplained infertility” really means (and why it’s rarely unexplained at all)
The rise in fertility challenges and what’s driving them — from stress and undernourishment to toxin exposure
How chronic conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and autoimmunity can impact hormone balance and fertility
Male fertility, how to address male fertility with your partner and the changes they may need to make to get pregnant
IVF- the good and the bad
Age and fertility and your ability to get pregnant

Worthy of More: Saturn Return, Saying No, and Building a Soul-Aligned Life with Krista Williams
In this transformative episode of Slightly Spiritual, we’re joined by Krista Williams, co-founder of the global brand and podcast Almost 30, and a guiding voice in spirituality, self-development, and modern wellness. Krista’s work has helped thousands move through life’s biggest transitions with more grace, self-trust, and soul. She's also the co-creator of Morning Microdose, leads powerful retreats and courses like The Life Edit and Metamorphosis, and now, she’s adding “author” to her resume.
Her first book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide to a Life You Love for the Next Decade and Beyond, co-written with Lindsey Simcik, releases on June 3, 2025, and it’s not just for those navigating their Saturn Return. It’s for anyone ready to stop living out of alignment and start choosing themselves.
Together, we explore:
The real meaning of Saturn Return, and why it’s not here to ruin your life
How to move from stuck to soul-led, no matter your age or season
Why saying no is an act of self-worth, and how Krista uses her “5 no’s” practice
How to reconnect with your soul’s voice over ego
What to do when you're burnt out, out of alignment, or afraid to change
How to release friendships with love, and invite new aligned relationships in
The difference between purpose and career, and how to build a purpose-driven life
Why you don’t need to find your soul, just quiet the noise enough to hear her
You’ll leave this episode with practical tools, spiritual insights, and the gentle reminder that you are worthy of a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
Highlights from the Episode:
“Your Saturn Return is your cosmic wake-up call…a moment to either settle or become brave enough to create a life you actually love.”
“You don’t need to search for your soul because she is never lost, it’s more about learning to listen again.”
“It takes a lot of energy to hold yourself back from being the real you.”
“Purpose isn’t found, it’s built.”

💬 One of Our Favorite Quotes from the Book:
“This big moment is a juncture during which you can choose to either settle into a life you don’t desire or become brave enough to create one you love—to challenge the norms, to stop doing all the things that are out of alignment, and to start to choose yourself over the status quo.”
