Hopeful and Wholesome: Wellness, Nutrition, Inner Healing and Self-Improvement for High Achieving Women and Entrepreneurs
You were never meant to override yourself into success.
The Hopeful & Wholesome Podcast is the space where high-achieving women come back to their bodies and find that's where the deeper, richer, more expansive life was waiting all along.
Host Hope Pedraza — Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Human Design Guide, NLP Practitioner, and Reiki Practitioner — brings weekly conversations at the intersection of functional health, human design, and soul-led living.
Each week we go deep on:
- Functional labs, hormones, and root cause healing
- Human Design, energetics, and body intelligence
- Nervous system regulation and somatic healing
- Subconscious reprogramming and inner authority
- Pleasure, intuition, and the fully reclaimed woman
Join Hope and her inspiring guests for transformative conversations designed to help you live your best life with hope and purpose.
This is where the reclamation begins: from the inside out.

What If Being Selfish Was the Most Generous Thing You Could Do? with Valerie Jones
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You've been taught that selflessness is a virtue. That putting yourself last makes you a good woman, a good mom, a good partner. But what if that conditioning is exactly what's keeping you stuck, burned out, and disconnected from yourself?
In this episode, Hope sits down with Valerie Jones, author, podcast host, and founder of The Selfish Woman movement, to break down why reclaiming yourself isn't selfish at all. It's the foundation for everything.
This one will challenge you, liberate you, and maybe make you a little tear-excited.
What You'll Learn:
- Why "selfish" is being redefined, and why high-achieving women need this reframe NOW
- How self-abandonment disguises itself as being easygoing, selfless, or "low maintenance"
- The guilt trap keeping women playing small (and the one question that breaks it)
- Why the selfless conditioning in our culture was literally designed to keep women from power
- How to stop giving from resentment and start giving from overflow
- The daily practices that help you reconnect to your inner being and rebuild self-trust
- Why fulfillment is a radical act, and how micro-steps lead to massive transformation
