Big Kid Problems

Keto? Plant Based? Or Paleo? OH MY. There is so much conflicting diet information out there, it can honestly be hard to know WTF to even eat anymore. Award winning nutritionist, Author of NINE books, and co-founder of the “Intuitive eating” movement Evelyn Tribole (MS, RDN, CERD-S) joins the podcast this week to help set us straight! We talk about what “intuitive eating” really means (spoiler alert: a lot of influencers get it wrong) listening to hunger que’s, breaking diet culture and more! We also get into BRIDAL diets which is a whole other beast and Evelyn gives me the best wedding advice I’ve gotten thus far…

Talk about turning Lemons into Lemonade/Vodka Sodas! Comedienne Natasha Pearl Hansen may have called off her wedding, but she used her non-refundable venue deposit to turn her “would be” wedding day into a Comedy Special! We talk about her brand new Amazon Prime Special “I was Supposed to Get Married Today” and all the hard decisions, red flags, gut warnings and societal pressure that go into NOT walking down the aisle. ITS JUICY FOLKS.

In honor of Earth Day this week we are diving into a topic many of us would like to ignore: Environmental Instability. Problems like plastics, pollution and overpopulation can be overwhelming (and a bit of a drag, tbh) but that's why I have my real life friend and Environmental advocate, Tony Verutti,  in the house this week to help break down what's going on, why we should care and what WE can do about it.  Because we WILL be seeing some drastic side effects in our lifetime, and just like doing our taxes last minute, it's a Big Kid Problem that can’t be ignored.

We’ve all been betrayed or hurt before, and learning to ‘forgive and forget’ is a lot easier said than done. BUT you know what they say about holding grudges. It's like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. (Not ideal).  Life Coach and Host of the “Heal Survive Thrive” Podcast, Stephanie Lyn, joins the podcast today to help us make like Frozen and LET IT GO. We talk about forgiveness, how to put things into perspective, boundaries, healing and most importantly, how to move on. Because if there is one thing I have learned in this life, it's that forgiveness is the best gift we can give ourselves.
