This week on my podcast Don't Shrink to Fit, I dive into this very topic with the incredible Kate Kripke, a maternal and child mental health expert, therapist, and author of Reinventing Supermom. Kate has spent over two decades helping high-achieving moms navigate the emotional weight of motherhood, breaking through anxiety, guilt, and burnout to create a more authentic and fulfilling experience for themselves and their children.

In our conversation, we explore:

✨ Why women feel conditioned to be good girls and how that impacts our parenting
✨ The pressure of perfectionism in motherhood and how to release it
✨ How anxiety often manifests as control and over-functioning
✨ The importance of allowing our children to struggle so they can build resilience
✨ Why breaking generational patterns of emotional conditioning starts with us

If you’ve ever felt the weight of being “good” instead of being you, this episode is for you. Let’s give ourselves grace, embrace our imperfections, and raise the next generation with a foundation of unconditional love.

Kate Tripke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Perinatal Mental Health Counselor (PMH-C), author, and thought leader dedicated to supporting mothers through life’s transitions. With over two decades of experience, she has helped countless women navigate the challenges of motherhood, mental health, and self-discovery.

She is also the author of Reinventing Supermom, a relatable and science-backed guide to maternal mental wellness, offering validation, humor, and practical tools for new moms.

In this heartfelt and powerful episode of Don’t Shrink to Fit, Claudia explores the essential role trust plays in our lives—especially in the way we raise our children and show up for ourselves. From building trust through consistency to understanding how secrets can form when trust is broken, this episode offers insight, tools, and a personal story that highlights how trust can shape confidence, self-worth, and lifelong emotional health.

Claudia shares how she built a foundation of trust with her daughters and how that decision continues to influence their confidence and decision-making today. She also discusses how trust impacts children’s ability to speak up, ask for help, and feel safe in the world—and how, as adults, we can begin to rebuild trust that may have been lost in childhood.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why trust is the foundation of every meaningful relationship
• How to build trust with your children through consistency and open communication
• The difference between holding kids accountable and shaming them
• How secrets are linked to broken trust and what we can do to prevent that

This week on Don't Shrink to Fit, I had the privilege of sitting down with the incredible Lori Pappas—a woman who has shattered expectations, defied societal norms, and lived life entirely on her own terms.

Lori’s story is a testament to resilience, choice, and the magic of saying YES—not just to opportunities, but to yourself. She shares her journey from overcoming a challenging childhood to building a successful business in a male-dominated industry, redefining success on her own terms, and eventually embracing love and purpose in ways she never expected.

Here are some of the powerful takeaways from this episode:

✨ You always have a choice – No matter where you come from or what life throws at you, you have the power to shape your future. Lori reminds us that even in the most difficult circumstances, we can choose to rise above.

✨ Mistakes are not failures – Lori believes in making as many mistakes as possible, as quickly as possible—because that’s how we learn, grow, and build resilience. Her perspective on mistakes will change the way you see setbacks forever.

✨ Success is yours to define – What if success isn’t about fitting into a mold but about crafting a life that aligns with your deepest values? Lori shares how she has redefined success at every stage of her life and encourages us to do the same.

✨ Saying YES opens doors you never imagined – Lori’s book, The Magic of Yes, dives deep into how embracing new opportunities, even when they’re scary, can lead to incredible transformations.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, afraid to take risks, or unsure of your next step, this episode is for you. It’s a powerful reminder that your life is yours to create. https://www.loripappas.com/

In the latest episode of Don't Shrink to Fit, I had the pleasure of speaking with the incredible Rachel Madorsky about empowerment, self-love, and shifting the way we approach boundaries in our lives. Have you ever had one of those moments where a single conversation shifts something inside you? Where words resonate so deeply that you feel like you’re being seen, understood, and guided—all at the same time?

That’s exactly what happened in today’s episode. My guest, Rachel, brought so much wisdom and insight to our conversation that, at times, I felt like I was the one getting a coaching session. It was refreshing, aligned, and filled with golden nuggets that I know will speak to you as much as they spoke to me.We’re diving into powerful truths about self-worth, identity, and the mindset shifts that can transform your life.

We also explored how self-love isn't just about grand gestures—it’s about the little things we do for ourselves daily. Whether it's buying the expensive blueberries, setting aside slow mornings, or learning to receive without justification, these small actions add up to a life of true abundance.

Another key takeaway? Many of us—especially women—struggle to receive. Whether it’s a compliment or help from others, we often deflect or downplay our worth. But as Rachel reminded us, when we practice receiving with grace, we increase our capacity for abundance in every aspect of life.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to be the "good girl," to shrink yourself to fit expectations, or to work harder just to feel deserving, this episode is for you.

✨ Listen now and take a step toward living life on your own terms

 So, if you’re ready to have your perspective expanded and your heart inspired, grab a cup of coffee, or tea, get comfortable, and let’s dive in!

About my guest: RACHEL MADORSKY, LCSW is a bestselling author, inspirational speaker, psychotherapist and sought after executive coach. For over two decades she has guided clients in creating extraordinary relationships, businesses and lives. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio Rachel lives in sunny Austin, Texas with her husband, where they work with wonderful, talented people from around the world and perform comedy pieces for their two cats.

What does it mean to belong? For many immigrants, the answer is complicated. In this episode of Don't Shrink to Fit, I sit down with Fabiola Noriega-Danera, who shares her powerful journey of immigrating to the U.S., moving back to Peru, and then returning once again—only to realize that a sense of home isn’t tied to a place, but to who we are.

We dive into the emotional complexities of feeling torn between two cultures, the struggle of fitting in vs. belonging, and the resilience it takes to start over. Fabiola’s story is one of courage, adaptability, and self-discovery, shedding light on the untold realities of many immigrants who must navigate new identities while holding on to their roots.

In this conversation, we explore:
✔ The internal battle of not fully belonging anywhere
✔ The sacrifices and emotional toll of leaving everything behind
✔ How culture shock affects us—both when arriving and when returning home
✔ The importance of honoring our roots while embracing new opportunities

Whether you’re an immigrant yourself, know someone who is, or simply want to better understand the immigrant experience, this episode will give you a new perspective on identity, resilience, and what it truly means to create a home within yourself.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Award winning podcast Don't Shrink to Fit, I sit down with Vevian Vozmediano, a trauma-informed mental health coach who helps women release stored emotions tied to their past and reconnect with the parts of themselves they’ve been too afraid to explore alone.

Vevian shares her courageous journey of self-discovery, the emotional price she had to pay to distance herself from family due to religious beliefs, and the profound transformation that came from unbecoming the version of herself she once accepted in exchange for love.

This raw and vulnerable conversation dives into limiting beliefs, the role our mothers play in shaping our identity, and the struggle of trying to belong in spaces that don’t truly accept us. If you’ve ever felt torn between who you are and who you were taught to be, this episode will resonate deeply.

Tune in for an eye-opening discussion on healing, identity, and the power of reclaiming your true self.

 About my guest:

Vevian is a trauma-inform mental coach and therapist, her holistic approach draws upon her extensive training and experience in trauma-informed practices, coupled with a unique blend of mindfulness, self-care techniques, and innovative methodologies.

By 19,  she had experienced 2 acts of sexual abuse. She married at 24 to another Jehovah's Witness and divorced and shunned by the religion at 32. For over a decade, she has explored the deeper layers of my inner healing through every avenue that called me.

Have you ever found yourself trying to fix things for the people you love? Whether it’s your child, partner, or friend, we want to help. We want to make things easier. But what if, instead of helping, we’re actually holding them back?

In this week’s episode of the Award winning Don't Shrink to Fit Podcast, I’m diving into a tough but necessary conversation: the difference between helping and enabling.

For years, I thought I was supporting my daughters by stepping in, solving problems, and shielding them from struggle. But I’ve realized that sometimes, the more we try to rescue someone, the more they sink. 

The hardest part? Accepting that people will only change when they decide to, not when we want them to.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of someone else’s struggles on your shoulders, this episode is for you. 

In this episode I share:

How my own experiences as a parent and partner showed me the cost of enabling
Why people resist change (even when they know they need it)
How to offer real support without creating dependency
A powerful mindset shift that will free both you and your loved ones

What if your emotions were the key to unlocking messages from Spirit?

When life feels frightening or uncertain… what if the answers are already within you?

On this episode of the award-winning Don't Shrink to Fit podcast, I sit down with the brilliant Sherianna Boyle, author of 11 books, including the Emotional Detox series, Energy in Action, and her latest, Just Ask Spirit. Sherianna shares how our emotions and Spirit, working together, provide infinite resources for healing, clarity, love, and purpose.

We dive deep into the connection between emotions and spirituality, how fear blocks us from receiving divine wisdom, and why when we are truly connected to light, ego dissolves. Sherianna also reveals how she receives downloads from Spirit and how you, too, can develop your intuitive gifts by learning to trust and surrender.

One of the most powerful insights from our conversation is that our afterthoughts—those moments of reflection—are opportunities to deepen our awareness and realign with our highest self. When we pause to observe our reactions and emotions, we create space for wisdom, healing, and transformation.

She reminds us that taking care of ourselves is a spiritual practice, not a luxury. Just like putting on your oxygen mask first, prioritizing your well-being allows you to stay in high vibration and aligned with the guidance meant for you.

Have you ever felt guilty for taking time for yourself or prioritizing your own well-being? That’s about to change!

Welcome to Don’t Shrink to Fit – the winner of the 2024 Women in Podcasting Award in the Coaching category!

On this episode of my award-winning podcast, Don't Shrink to Fit, I’m thrilled to welcome Liz Clifton, who is here to share powerful insights on how to give ourselves permission to pause, embrace self-love, and practice self-care without guilt.

Why is important to pause? 

✨ Pausing allows us to reconnect with what truly matters—our health, our happiness, and our inner peace.
✨ Pausing gives us clarity to make better decisions, rather than operating on autopilot.
✨ Pausing helps prevent burnout and reminds us that rest is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Taking a step back isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s an act of strength and self-respect. When we give ourselves permission to pause, we restore our energy, find balance, and show up more fully in every area of our lives.

This episode is your personal invitation to pause, breathe, and reclaim your well-being. You don’t want to miss it!

About my guest: Liz’s mission is to empower at least 3 million individuals—of any species—to cultivate clarity, calm, confidence, and authentic communication, allowing them to be fully themselves with anyone, anywhere, at any time. She also encourages at least three minutes of daily self-care joy, reminding us that taking time for ourselves isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

Liz is an internationally certified mindset, self-care, and communication coach whose work has helped countless people step into their power, peace, and presence. Through her unique approach, she teaches us how to release guilt, reconnect with ourselves, and create space for the care we truly deserve.

This episode is your personal invitation to pause, breathe, and reclaim your well-being. You don’t want to miss it!

She then retrained adding extra skills to her vast resources, experiences and collected wisdom which she now uses to inspire and motivate others (of all species) to ease their own life journeys to calm and recently delivered her first TEDx talk entitled Green Means Calm all about how to ensure everyone has access to the mental health benefits of green spaces wherev
