Welcome to 'Heart and Soul,' the podcast where we empower and inspire women to lead their best lives, harnessing the power of their hearts and souls.
In each episode, we'll dive deep into topics that matter most to you, from self-love and confidence to career development, relationships, and everything in between. We believe that every woman has a unique strength and inner wisdom waiting to be unleashed.
Let's Talk About Libido, Hormones and Reclaiming Your Energy with Cat and Dr. Chris Delp
This week on Heart & Soul, we sat down with our friends, neighbors, and total health rockstars, Kat and Dr. Chris Delp—the duo behind Duluth Med Spa, known for their fearless honesty, hilarious TikToks, and truly life-changing work in women’s health and hormone replacement therapy.
Kat is a former nurse turned med spa founder with a personal story of reclaiming her joy and sanity through hormone health. Chris is her husband, a longtime ER physician, and now her partner in business—aka the one who handles the science behind all the magic.
Together, they’re shaking the table when it comes to how we treat menopause, libido, testosterone, perimenopause (yes, it's a thing), and the very real mental and emotional toll of hormone imbalance. And they’re doing it with laughter, wisdom, and zero shame.
“Gone are the days when we suffer in silence. You don’t need to wait until you’re falling apart to get support.”
In this episode, we cover:
0:00 – All the libido! Meet Kat & Chris
4:10 – From nursing to med spa: Kat’s bold career leap
8:45 – What no one tells you about perimenopause
12:30 – Why “You’ll get through it” is not an acceptable answer
17:15 – The impact of estrogen on dementia, UTIs, and long-term health
22:05 – Libido, intimacy, and the real power of testosterone
30:40 – How personalized HRT works (and what to expect)
36:30 – Introducing: MyDixadril™ (yes, really)
47:00 – Insurance woes, advocacy, and preparing to pay for your own health
53:00 – Why women need to start planning for their quality of life now

Hey Heart and Soul Collective!
What if the things we’ve been told to just “get through” as women—hot flashes, mood swings, low libido, brain fog—aren’t simply parts of getting older… but symptoms of something that can be treated, healed, and even reversed?
This week’s episode cracked open a conversation that every woman (and man) needs to hear. We sat down with Cat and Dr. Chris Delp, the powerhouse couple behind Duluth Med Spa, to talk about all things women’s health, hormones, and sexual wellness—and let’s just say, nothing was off the table.
Monique met Cat years ago as her next-door neighbor (the kind with perfect hair, Texas charm, and three boys—just like her!). From neighborhood playdates to building thriving businesses, Cat and Chris have become local advocates for education, empowerment, and laughter in the world of health and longevity.
Together, they’re on a mission to destigmatize conversations around menopause, libido, and aging—bringing both expertise and humor (yes, there’s even a product called “Mydixadril”) to the discussion.

Laugh First, Build Trust, Change Minds w/ Danielle Thralow
What does it really take to live authentically?
For Danielle, the answer has been equal parts grit, reinvention, and courage. From farm life to the early days of internet business, from carrying $50,000 of debt to negotiating million-dollar deals, from hiding her truth to making people laugh on stage—her journey is nothing short of remarkable.
I first met Danielle as my neighbor, over a glass of wine and a lot of big questions. She was instantly someone I wanted to know more deeply. Her story is one of resilience and honesty—one that invites all of us to ask: what would it look like to choose authenticity, even when it costs you?
“Your needs can be different from your neighbors needs, which could be business related. Yours could be personal, yours could be your kids. Who the heck knows? But that's what we wanted to foster is that openness to be able to speak about whatever it is, whatever you might need.”
In this episode, we cover:
04:01 Growing up on a farm in Illinois: danger, freedom, and hard lessons
07:11 Launching a vintage clothing store, going into debt, and finding persistence
17:09 The first online sunglass sale and the magic of the early internet
29:01 Negotiating domain names and growing into a million-dollar business
44:33 Beginning her transition and navigating family, identity, and bravery
47:16 Finding comedy as a way to control the narrative and build trust
01:02:02 Leadership lessons: why diversity makes teams stronger
See Danielle live:
Danielle is always performing, and here’s where you can catch her soon:
November 8 – Headlining at Wussow’s, Duluth, MN
November 22 – Honest Dog Books, Bayfield, WI
Find her work, comedy, and upcoming shows at www.xaos.com.
Hey Heart and Soul Collective!
What does it take to build a life that feels like your own? Sometimes it looks like chasing opportunity, sometimes it looks like falling flat on your face, and sometimes it’s as simple—and as complicated—as choosing to live authentically.
Today, I had the joy of sitting down with my neighbor and friend, Danielle. We first met over wine and deep conversation, and I knew instantly she was someone special—someone who could ask hard questions, laugh easily, and live with a kind of fearlessness I deeply admire.
Her story is wild, brave, and layered. From growing up on a farm in Illinois to launching a sunglass empire on the early internet, from carrying $50,000 of debt at 18% interest to negotiating million-dollar deals in New York, and then stepping fully into her truth as a transgender woman and comedian—Danielle has lived more chapters than most of us could imagine.
And yet, the thread running through it all is simple: persistence, humor, and the courage to be real.

Mastermind 101: Structure, Soul, and the Hot Seat
Have you ever asked yourself the question: what the heck is a mastermind?
Years ago in the 1920’s, Napoleon Hill describes “the mastermind principle: two or more people actively engaged in the pursuit of a definite purpose with a positive mental attitude constitute an unbeatable force.”
On today's episode, we are going to unpack what is a mastermind - something that Monique and Mariah know very well. It is the background of this entire podcast and how we got here today. A “mastermind” seems to be a buzz word that has been showing up more and more, but what does it really mean?
Monique and Mariah explore their experiences uncovering the true meaning of a mastermind through their work with other female entrepreneurs creating a community of support and motivational leadership.
“Your needs can be different from your neighbors needs, which could be business related. Yours could be personal, yours could be your kids. Who the heck knows? But that's what we wanted to foster is that openness to be able to speak about whatever it is, whatever you might need.”
In this episode, we cover:
00:00 – Summer rest + why we’re sharing “best-of” episodes
01:24 – What’s a mastermind, really?
04:00 – How Mariah + Monique found each other in a Duluth mastermind
07:20 – When business needs turn into personal breakthroughs
10:45 – Creating Heart & Soul: blending leadership with humanity
13:30 – The structure: retreats, small groups, and skin in the game
20:00 – Why the “hot seat” is the secret sauce

When Women's Health Finally Gets the Spotlight: A Conversation on Menopause with Dr. Christina Kintop
Let’s be real—women are tired of not being heard, especially when it comes to our health.
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Christina Kentopp, a fourth-generation chiropractor, nutrition expert, and soul-centered practitioner who actually listens. We’re talking menopause, perimenopause, mood swings, mystery symptoms, and why so many women walk out of their doctor’s office with normal labs but still don’t feel normal.
This conversation is filled with personal stories, laughter, eye-opening stats, and practical ways to reclaim your energy, intuition, and whole-body wellness—without giving up your chocolate or your coffee. (You’re safe here. We promise.)
Whether you’re approaching menopause, in the thick of it, or just feeling off—this episode is a love letter to your body and a call to stop settling.
“Common doesn’t mean normal - and you don’t have to suffer just because you’ve been told it’s part of aging.”
In this episode, we discuss:
01:49 – Introducing Dr. Christina Kintop
07:08 – Menopause myths, underdiagnosis, and hidden symptoms
11:31 – The link between menopause and heart disease
15:56 – Burned-out adrenals and how driven women are impacted
21:06 – Depression, relationships, and the emotional toll
37:55 – How Chrissy works with women in person and via Zoom
42:54 – Supplements, nutrition, and what actually works
54:18 – Why talking openly changes everything
Hey Heart & Soul Collective!
What if the exhaustion, mood swings, or brain fog you’ve been brushing off as “just getting older” were actually something your doctor never told you about? What if you could reclaim your energy, clarity, and joy in the years you thought you’d be slowing down?
This week’s episode is one of those conversations that makes you want to take notes, text your girlfriends, and march straight into your next doctor’s appointment with a list of questions.
We sat down with our dear friend and women’s health advocate, Dr. Christina Kintop—a fourth-generation chiropractor, nutrition counselor, and truth-teller about menopause—to talk about the real symptoms, the overlooked signs, and why so many women feel invisible in the medical system during this chapter of life.
From our first encounters with Chrissy—whether working side-by-side at weddings or connecting in yoga class—we’ve known her as someone who listens deeply and sees the whole person. Today, she brings that same presence and wisdom to a topic that impacts half the population, yet is still underfunded, under-researched, and under-discussed.
Key Themes + Takeaways
Menopause can have over 26 recognized symptoms—and it’s not just hot flashes.
It takes an average of 14 doctor visits before many women get a diagnosis of perimenopause or menopause.
“Common” does not mean “normal”—there are ways to treat and ease symptoms.
The link between menopause and heart disease is real, and it’s time the research caught up.
Supplements, nutrition, and lifestyle changes can dramatically improve quality of life.
Listening—really listening—is one of the most powerful forms of care.

Let Them, Let Me: How to Stop Controlling Everything and Start Living Freely
Today, it’s just the two of us—Monique and Mariah—sitting down for one of our favorite kinds of episodes: heart-led, unscripted, and filled with real-life stories from our own lives. We’re diving into one of the buzziest self-help books out there right now: The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins.
And honestly? There’s a reason it’s trending.
This isn’t just a book about letting people be who they are (though that’s part of it). It’s about reclaiming your peace, rediscovering what you actually want, and shifting your energy from controlling everything to trusting yourself enough to surrender. And yeah—it’s hitting us right where we need it.
So today, we’re getting vulnerable. We’re sharing the stories where we tried to let them, the moments where we failed to let them, and what happened when we finally figured out how to let ourselves just be.
“When you finally stop trying to control everything, you create space for surprise and delight.”
In this episode, we discuss:
04:00 – People-pleasing, control, and why this hits home
10:00 – Prom timelines and party-planning meltdowns
16:00 – Family dynamics, birthday chaos, and releasing control
22:00 – The “Let Me” shift: what do you actually want?
27:00 – Redefining holidays, motherhood, and meaning
32:00 – Final thoughts, book recs, and a thank you to our listeners
Hey Heart & Soul Collective!
In this special conversation, just the two of us, we dive into the buzziest book in the self-help world right now: The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. We’re talking about what this viral concept really means, how it shows up in our own lives, and why it’s struck a chord with so many women craving less stress, less people-pleasing, and a whole lot more inner peace.
We open up about prom timelines, birthday party control spirals, and the emotional journey of being moms, business owners, and recovering overfunctioners. This episode is all about learning to let people be who they are—and learning how to give yourself the same permission.
Whether you’re in a season of setting boundaries, breaking old patterns, or simply trying to chill out—this one’s for you.
