Episode 221: The fine line between inspiration and influence


Listen Later

You know that feeling when your feed is flooded with must-have trends, game-changing routines, or life-changing products? Whether it’s the latest fashion sale or the "perfect" meal plan, it’s so easy to get swept up in the idea that we need something to look good, feel good, or be good enough.

But here’s the thing—do you even like it? Does it actually work for you?

In this episode, I’m peeling back the layers of influence—how it sneaks into what we wear, what we eat, and even how we see ourselves. 

We’re talking about:

  • The sneaky ways consumer culture convinces us we’re missing something
  • How to pause and check in before hitting "add to cart" (or overhauling your breakfast)
  • The difference between inspiration and pressure—and how to spot the line
  • Practical ways to stay connected to what truly fits your life, body, and goals

This isn’t about never shopping or ignoring advice—it’s about owning your choices so they actually work for you.
