In this powerful solo episode of Let’s Talk Sht*, host Lisa Garrett gets vulnerable and real about the five biggest lessons she’d give her younger self, and what she’s learned the hard way about gut health, burnout, movement, and mindset.
From chasing a Broadway dream to running marathons in the pouring rain, Lisa’s journey has been anything but linear. But every step (and misstep) brought her closer to the truth: your gut and intuition are the real MVPs.
This episode is for every woman who's ever wondered, “Am I doing too much?” or “Why doesn’t this feel good anymore?”
Lisa Shares:

Why more exercise isn’t always better (and what to do instead)
The power of listening to your body, your intuition, and the nudge
Why honoring rest, stillness, and small joys is essential to healing
The surprising connection between your gut and your goal
