Welcome. I’m Andie Thueson, guide, mentor, and catalyst for women who are done playing small and ready to lead their lives.
Own Your Piece is a podcast for women who feel the quiet nudge that something more is available and are finally ready to claim it.
This is where self-leadership, identity activation, and living on purpose come together.
Through Human Design, astrology, and grounded, real-world wisdom, we explore what it actually looks like to stop outsourcing your power, trust your inner authority, and make decisions that align with who you truly are.
If you’ve felt stuck in your head, disconnected from your rhythm, or like you’ve been watching your life instead of living it, you’re in the right place.
This podcast isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about remembering who you are and choosing to lead from that place.
Each episode offers honest conversation, deep insight, and practical guidance you can apply in real life, so clarity replaces confusion, alignment replaces force, and your life starts to move forward with intention.
This is where clarity meets courage.
This is where you Own Your Piece.

Unlocking the Power of GLP-1s Holistic Health & the Future of Peptides with Kristin Salvia
In this episode of Own Your Piece, I’m joined by my dear friend and holistic health coach, Kristin Salvia, for an honest, science-backed conversation about GLP-1 medications and peptides. I share my personal journey using a GLP-1 and why I felt called to openly talk about my experience, while Kristin helps break down the science, benefits, and common myths surrounding them.
We explore how GLP-1s can support insulin resistance, metabolic health, and overall wellness beyond weight loss, the importance of microdosing, and why a holistic, individualized approach to health matters. We also dive into healing our relationship with food, emerging peptides, and why staying curious and informed is essential on any health journey.
Key Takeaways
