In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Wendy Schofer, a pediatrician, lifestyle physician, and founder of Family in Focus® , for a bold and refreshing conversation about burnout, emotional eating, and redefining success in motherhood. We talk about what it means to parent and live audaciously, how food, body image, and family dynamics are all connected, and why slowing down can actually make life feel more meaningful. Wendy shares her own story of burnout and how she learned to stop shrinking in both parenting and her career. She also offers a free resource, How to End Emotional Eating: A Parent’s Guide

We also mention Rest is Resistance by Tricia Hersey — a must-read if you’re craving real rest. Buy it on Amazon (affiliate link: I may earn a small commission if you choose to purchase, at no extra cost to you).
