Beyond the fictional reality of “highlight reels” lies the truth many of us forget while we are scrolling. The truth is that life isn’t always rainbows, butterflies, flawless skin, or “perfect” relationships. The truth that life can be messy, confusing and hard. But as a society, we’ve become programmed, most often, to put our best face forward online. This week host Sarah Anne sits down with nurse and blogger Meredith Boggs to chat about how this impulse to share only our highlight reels actually hinders our ability to cultivate deep self-love, self-acceptance, and self-worth for our unique lives. In this episode, Meredith shares a new perspective on constructive ways to engage with social media, while changing your relationship with social media so you can drop the comparison and cultivate your own personal truths. If you’ve ever felt stuck in an old narrative, worrying about how others perceive you or falling into the comparison trap on social media, this episode is for you!

When it comes to our health, it’s easy to blame external factors: our diet, our doctor, our coach, our friends, our family, our job, you name it. And there’s no denying that these things do have an impact on us. But this cycle of disempowerment isn’t productive—and it won’t get you any closer to reaching your health goals. This week, host Sarah Anne talks with Doug Bopst, an award-winning personal trainer, author, and inspirational speaker. As a former drug addict and felon, Doug was sentenced to 5 years in jail—and during that time, Doug started working out with his cellmate and discovered a love for exercise which aided in his recovery.

Today, Doug spends his time helping hundreds of people upgrade their beliefs to create lasting change. You won’t want to miss this powerful conversation.
