Do you want to have kids?

When are you having kids?

Questions that makes most 30 something women feel some type of way. While I never personally found this question offensive, (which I spoke about in the episode), but I always had a really hard time answering that question in a way that felt honest.  

If you have ever personally asked me this question, you got a smirk, an eye roll, and a joke about how "there isn't a maternal bone in my body", or something about work, or something about how I still love to party (which i do lol). But that's not how I actually feel. So when I got this question I decided to really think about my answer, and what I came up with, I am probably not alone.

Guys, this episode might contain the most brilliant analogy I have ever made. 

I was talking to a client, trying to help her understand why the guy she was dating wasn't doing it for her. She didn't seem to understand. He was SO sweet, and nice, but she wasn't fufilled. Then it hit me- I knew EXACTLY how to help her understand- 

" You're dating a Vinny...but you want to date a pauly."

Understanding masculine and feminine energy (which is not the same as gender) is SUCH a game changer in understanding your current relationships or who you are attracting.

Masculine and Feminine energy needs a PR rebranding in my opinion, so I took it upon myself to teach it to you in the simplest way I could: comparing each of the 4 types to the cast of the Jersey Shore.

This episode will get you rethinking your relationships in the best possible way. Let me know what you think on instagram at  @mish_Blum

HAPPY FREAKIN NEW YEAR! 

Wow, reflecting back this year, it is insane how much my life has changed. Through out the years, I have had times where no matter what I did, or how hard I worked, I felt like I was spinning my wheels, and then I have had years (like this) where I was able to level up really easily, (despite massive chaos). 

The key difference in those times where I was able to accomplish what I wanted, wasn’t so much about how hard I worked, but more in how I laid the foundation for getting what I wanted. It’s why you’re supposed to warm up before you workout, or why you put primer on before you’re makeup. Knowing how to lay a stable foundation is an underrated hack to seriously leveling up your life.

Let’s get real—everyone loves a good before-and-after story, but no one talks about what happens in the messy middle. You know, the part where things feel awkward, frustrating, and like you’re failing? Yeah, that’s where all the real growth happens. And spoiler: It’s also the reason most people quit before they ever see the results they’re working so hard for.

In this episode of Ask Mish, I’m breaking down the missing piece to achieving your goals—whether it’s weight loss, building a business, or just trying to keep your room clean for once. Inspired by a TikTok rabbit hole (shoutout to Odd Muse founder Amy Smols for keeping it real), I had a realization: The middle part of any journey is messy, but it doesn’t have to make you feel like a failure.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why the in-between is the most important (but least talked about) part of your journey.
• How to stop unrealistic expectations from sabotaging your success.
• A simple 3-bucket framework to break down your goals and actually stick with them.
• What diet culture, social media, and toxic goal-setting advice get wrong—and how to do better.

Whether you’re trying to lose weight, hit a big milestone, or just figure out what works for you, this episode will give you the tools to navigate the messy middle without throwing in the towel. Plus, I’ll share how I’m committing to showing my messy middle moments online—because let’s normalize the process, not just the glow-up.

Resources Mentioned:

• Follow me on IG: @ask_mish and @MishOfNutrishMish for more inspo, laughs, and keeping it real.
• TikTok inspo: Amy Smols, founder of Odd Muse.

Tag me and let me know what you think! And if you’re ready to embrace your messy middle, share your story—we’re all in this together. 💛

SO many people I meet struggle with decisiveness. Honestly, for the longest time I did too. If you aren’t a naturally decisive person, it is so easy to get wrapped up in overthinking, taking too many people’s opinions into consideration, and never feel confident that you know the “right” choice. This week’s question came from someone who had all of the struggles, so I brought my friend Christina Lecuyer on to discuss.

Christina is ALL about being decisive. Her whole brand is based around helping people build decisiveness, & confidence both personally and professionally. From pro golfer to confidence coach, Christina's whole life is literally a masterclass on learning how to make the decisions to get the life you want. Here is this week's question:

Dear Mish (and Christina),

I have always had a hard time making decisions. My indecisiveness causes analysis paralysis and I am constantly second guessing myself. Anyway, at the moment, I have a huge decision I have to make. It involves changing careers, moving, my anxiety is literally through the roof. It truly feels as if there is a right or a wrong decision that I can make here, and I don't know what it is. I keep asking family and friends, and everyone has a different answer, I literally don't know what to do. How do you become a decisive person and overcome analysis paralysis. Please help!

My friend asked me to do a podcast episode on my routines. Routines have always been a sore spot for me, I have always wanted to be a routine girly, but was never able to stick to any no matter how magical they sounded. I listened to every podcast episode where people spoke about their 12 step morning routine that made them so successful. It all sounded great, but for some reason I always struggled. At some point I realized that all of the content out there about developing routines is meant for the type A’s of the world. And for me (a self proclaimed type Z), that way of implementing routines didn’t make sense. So this episode is for the Type Z’s of the world (not even type B lol), who need a way of creating routines that makes sense for them. 

I WISH I had someone telling me this 10 years ago, hit me up on Instagram and let me know if this resonated with you! 

  Dear Mish,

I would like to know your routines. Like how the hell do you get so much stuff done in one day? I want to know what goes on in your brain and how you handle your cool. You probably get like 5000 texts and emails a day, so how do you keep it all together? What do your AM and PM routines look like? You seem like you have it all together, what is your secret.
 
Definitely don’t have it all together, but I have it more together then I used to!

What if experiencing stress could be more optional rather then a mandatory part of your life? 

With the holidays right around the corner, and thanks to a very stressed out question received,  I thought this would be the perfect time to give you a mindset shift around the way you experience stress.

While stress can do damage to your health, and life in general, the interesting thing about stress, is that it is something created in your mind. This means, technically, you have control over it. While learning to master your stress levels takes a little practice, this science backed frame work will allow you to begin to not only reduce your stress levels, but help you control things like stress eating, or other stress induced vices. 

  Dear Mish,

 How do you deal with stress? I am constantly feeling stressed out, and that nothing I am doing is ever good enough. It could just be how you are on social media, but you never seem stressed.

With the holidays coming up, I already feel like I am spiraling. I know I am going to gain weight like I do every year. Money is tight, I don’t know how I am going to be able to afford gifts, and being around my family who constantly is judging me also stresses me out. I just want to hide. To avoid feeling this way I find myself stress eating or doom scrolling, but then I feel bad about not getting anything done. What do I do?

Okay, real talk: is it harmless to fake an orgasm from time to time? Have you ever done it?   This week on Ask Mish, I’m joined by my boyfriend, and new resident male opinion (for this episode at least), Nick to break down why so many women fake it in bed, what it’s doing to your relationship, and most importantly—how to start keeping it real between the sheets.

We get into all the juicy details, like:

• Why women feel the need to fake it (you’re not alone, but girl, you deserve better)
• How faking it is lowkey sabotaging your relationship (and your confidence)
• What to do if you’ve been pretending 
• How to start an honest convo with your partner about what you actually want in bed (and yes, you can totally do this without it being awkward)

It’s time to stop faking it and start getting the pleasure you deserve. Trust me, this conversation could change everything for you—emotionally, sexually, and in your relationship. 

 Dear Mish,
I was out to dinner recently and the topic of faking orgasms came up with my girl friends. The group was super divided on the topic, half of the girls in the group were saying they would never, and the others, including myself, said they do from time to time. To be honest, I didn't see anything wrong with it, until I saw the reaction of my friends. One of them said I was rewarding bad behavior lol Do you think it is bad to fake orgasms from time to time?

For this one, I wanted a second opinion, so welcome we welcome Nick on this episode of the podcast, our new resident male opinion.

Everyone seems to be talking about the weight loss injectables- and everyone has super strong opinions. There are people who are on it and proud, people who are on them and feel like they are cheating, people who are not on them-but are jealous of those who are, people who would never, and people like me- who just are terrified of needles. 

No matter what your stance is, I think there is a bigger conversation to be had here- that is isn’t your fault if you feel like you need them. And it’s ok if you feel like you need them, but I promise you, you don’t. This question was a great opportunity to get on my little soap box and explain, I hope it gets everyone thinking a little differently, DM me on Instagram @MishOfNutrishMish and let me know your thoughts.

 Dear Mish,
I am super curious your thoughts on the weight loss medications. 

I have struggled with weight most of my life. I was never someone who had a lot of willpower when it comes to food. It’s not that I didn’t want to be healthy or lose weight. I want it so badly, but in the moment, passing up food is so difficult for me. When my Dr. recommended I try Ozempic last year, I jumped on it. When I took it, it literally made me cry. I finally had willpower, the voices in my head that usually screamed at me to eat were gone .

 I have lost 60lbs and a part of me is so happy, but the other part of me is terrified. I know if I ever come off of this medication, the weight will just come back. My brain just doesn’t think about food in the same way that normal people do.

 Is there something wrong with me? Are there people out there like me who should be on this medication forever? Super curious your thoughts.

Now that it is OFFICALLY fall, I am open to the subject of spice – but still not pumpkin spice. Spicing it up in the bedroom is definitely more my speed. This week we have a question from someone who wants to start exploring with her partner, but isn’t quite sure how to bring it up. 

  Dear Mish,
I have been with my partner for a while and we are super happy, but for me at least, it’s getting a little boring in the bedroom. I would love to spice it up and try new things with him but I feel so uncomfortable bringing it up. How can I talk to him about this without it being awkward?

 This is Ask Mish, formally Healthy(ish) with Nutrish Mish. I explain everything in this episode but the Sparknote version is: In my 13+ years helping women lose weight, I have learned in most cases, the problem is rarely just about the food.
 
  I have watched the people I work with not only lose weight, but gain confidence, transform relationships, get the job, and truly live the life they deserve to live. After the 5432nd time someone told me "you should have been a therapist" I decided to expand my impact, and give the ladies (and gents) of the world my two cents on the things we are all struggling with that prevent us from living our best lives.
