In this episode, I sit down with Certified Fitness Nutrition Coach and personal trainer Jen Harris to dive deep into the choices that shape our physical, emotional, and mental health. She shares her no-nonsense approach to understanding the why behind our habits—whether it’s food, sleep, or boundaries—and how to build a lifestyle that works for you, not against you.

Key Topics Covered:

The importance of correcting your posture and being aware of your body’s signals.

Why carrying too many responsibilities is a recipe for burnout—and how to prioritize.

Setting boundaries not just with others, but with yourself.

The truth about January: It’s NOT the ideal time to take on new goals. (Habits take time and accountability is key to long-term success!)

The danger of canceling plans with yourself—and what it teaches your brain.

How to start today with small, actionable steps toward a new way of being.

Jen’s mission is to empower individuals to build a sustainable, balanced lifestyle by creating personalized nutrition and wellness strategies that last. Whether you’re just starting your health journey or looking to break through a plateau, this episode will challenge you to rethink your approach, dig into your why, and make changes that stick.

Hello and WELCOME to 'Hot Takes on Healing'!

In this episode, I kick things off by sharing a bit of my own story—how my healing journey began and how the recent challenges of grief have shaped me. These experiences inspired me to create Hot Takes on Healing, which offers an honest voice in wellness where healing isn’t just a journey of positivity— it also embraces "the mess" and the pain.

Community played a huge role in my journey (and still does). Here, I'll talk about my Facebook community, which brings people together for real, vulnerable discussions about life and growth, where we can share our experiences, even those that are painful, and find comfort in connection. Stories connect us, empower us, and help us heal — and we need more spaces to share our real, unfiltered experiences.

If you’re ready for bold conversations, deep dives, and perspectives on healing that honor both joy and pain, you’re in the right place. Thank you for tuning in to Episode 1 and stay tuned for our next episode – we’re only getting started!

In this inspiring episode, we dive deep into the power of being your own advocate with Amy Conroy, a true anomaly who beat an incredibly rare and aggressive cancer. Amy’s journey not only contributed to advancing medical understanding of her rare condition, but underscores the resilience of the human spirit and the miraculous ability of our bodies to regenerate every seven years.

Amy shares how, even on her worst days battling cancer, she reminded herself: new cells every day. This mantra became her anchor, symbolizing hope, renewal, and the power of small, daily victories in her healing journey. She also talks about her powerful concept "invisible paint"—an energy she carries with her everywhere she goes (so vibrant that people notice when it’s missing!).

The episode concludes with Amy sharing her favorite song, "Rise Up" by Andra Day, which has been added to our ✨ Official HTOH Podcast Playlist✨ I created for our listeners! Join us for this heartfelt conversation that will leave you inspired to advocate for your health and to see the miracles in everyday life.

In this episode, I reflected on a pivotal moment back in 2020 when Jenn asked me, "Why do you hate yourself?" — a question that shifted my entire healing journey with Fibromyalgia. Together, we discussed the process of recognizing and transforming limiting beliefs, the role of the body in signaling authenticity, and the importance of taking small, intentional steps toward change.

The conversation also explores:

⭐How the "merry-go-round" of spiraling thoughts impacts healing and how to step off.

⭐The connection between spiritual gifts, self-acceptance, and personal growth.

⭐Practical tools, like AI, for breaking down big goals into actionable steps.

⭐The role of community and storytelling in the healing journey.

The episode concludes with Jenn sharing her favorite song, “WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME”, which has been added to our ✨Official HTOH Podcast Playlist✨ I created for our listeners!
