Ever wondered how a camera could help you fall back in love with yourself? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Anya Day, a boudoir photographer who creates transformational experiences for women through the lens of authentic beauty.

🔑 WHAT WE COVER:

🔑 WHAT WE COVER:
This week’s episode is one of the most vulnerable I’ve shared. I’m opening up about what happened after I made peace with food and walked away from dieting—for good.
I’ll walk you through the messy, emotional middle ground:

• When intuitive eating stopped feeling like enough
• What pushed me to consider GLP-1 medications
• Why I resisted, what changed, and how I finally made a choice that aligned with my health, values, and goals
• The support system and perspective shifts that helped me move forward—without shame

Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, weight changes, or a desire to feel better without falling back into old patterns, this episode is for you.

👉 THIS WEEK’S ACTION STEP:
Journal or voice note your response to this:
What is something you know needs to change—but you haven’t given yourself permission to try OR you feel scared or you feel stuck?
You’re not a fraud for evolving. You’re just telling the truth about what you need now.

🔑 WHAT WE COVER:
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in the cycle of dieting, chasing the perfect body, or judging your worth by the number on the scale—this episode is for you.

In Part 2 of my personal story, I’m walking you through my 20s, 30s, and 40s—the decades I spent chasing diet after diet, from Weight Watchers to keto, low-carb to extreme plans like HCG and All-In. You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes of my emotional rollercoaster: the weigh-ins, the shame spirals, the short-term wins that never lasted, and the rules that ruled my life.

And then I’ll share the moment everything shifted—the spark that led me to intuitive eating, body trust, and the slow, messy, liberating process of unlearning diet culture for good.

This one is raw. It’s real. And it’s a reminder that you are not broken—and your body never was either. 🫶🏻

👉 THIS WEEK’S ACTION STEP:
Grab a journal or open your voice notes app and reflect on these 3 questions:
➢What diets or food rules have shaped your story?
➢Which of those rules are you still carrying, even now?
➢What beliefs about your body or worth are you ready to release?

You don’t have to burn it all down overnight. But naming it? That’s the first act of freedom.

In this raw, vulnerable episode I take you back to where it all began—10 years old, hiding in the back pages of my Hello Kitty journal, writing down a number on the scale that would shape the way I saw myself for decades. We explore how early and deeply diet culture takes root—often before we even understand what it is. From the shame of gym class weigh-ins to the first time you compared your body to someone else’s, this episode uncovers how body image, food, and self-worth become tangled up in the messages we absorb as “good girls” trying to do it all right. We talk about why it’s not your fault, how the all-or-nothing mindset starts young, and why it’s time to finally rewrite the narrative. Because here’s the truth I wish someone had told us sooner: your body was never the problem.

🔑 WHAT WE COVER:

• My first diet memory at 10 years old and the Hello Kitty journal that started it all
• How diet culture indoctrination happens in elementary school (and why it's not our fault)
• The connection between "good girl syndrome" and body shame
• Why gym class weigh-ins created lasting trauma for so many of us
• How the all-or-nothing mentality around food begins in childhood
• The real truth: your body was never a problem that needed fixing

👉 THIS WEEK'S ACTION STEP: Take a few quiet moments and journal about your earliest memories around body or food.

When did you first learn your body needed changing? What messages about food & body did you internalize? How have those beliefs impacted your life? Be gentle with yourself - that little girl deserved better.

⛪️🙏🏻Episode 26 - Midlife Faith Crisis: Permission to Question & Find Your Spiritual Path 📿💫

Do you ever feel torn between honoring your religious upbringing while exploring spiritual practices that actually feel authentic to you? In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing why questioning doesn't diminish your faith—it deepens it.

🔑 WHAT WE COVER:

• Why you have permission to reflect on beliefs you were raised with
• How trusting your intuition can be an expression of your faith (not a departure from it)
• The "both/and" approach: honoring tradition while staying true to yourself
• Sacred experiences beyond traditional religious settings
• Client stories of women who found more authentic faith through exploration
• Questions for your own spiritual reflection journey

👉🏻 THIS WEEK'S ACTION STEP: Choose one spiritual practice that's been calling to you but you've resisted exploring. Give yourself permission to try it for just 10 minutes this week. Notice what comes up—the resistance, the guilt, the peace, the clarity. Trust that your spiritual journey is uniquely yours.

You might be dealing with Good Girl Syndrome—and you're definitely not alone.

In this episode, I'm diving deep into why so many intelligent, capable women struggle to find their voice, sharing my own childhood story of being conditioned to "not be too much," and giving you the exact tools to start speaking up with confidence.

-Why you might struggle to speak up even when you know what you believe
-The difference between being loud and being grounded in your truth

🔑 WHAT WE COVER:

Are you struggling to give yourself full permission to make change or do things differently? You’re not alone—and you don’t need to overhaul your entire life to start feeling better. In this episode, I’m introducing you to The 24-Hour Experiment—a gentle, doable way to take aligned action without triggering overwhelm. You’ll learn how to choose one small shift and try it on for just a day… so you can build trust with yourself and create sustainable change that fits your real life.

We’ll talk about:

• What most women discover when they slow down and notice
• Why awareness without action keeps you stuck
• How to design your own 24-hour experiment (with examples!)
• Why this simple step is a game-changer for nervous system-safe transformation

This is a tiny but mighty tool from the Permission and Priorities pillars of my Peace & Plenty system—and it might just be the key to getting unstuck.

👉 THIS WEEK’S ACTION STEP:

Choose one thing that feels both meaningful and manageable—and commit to doing it differently for just 24 hours. Then ask yourself:

1. How did that feel in my body?
2. What surprised me?
3. Do I want to try this again tomorrow?

Remember, you’re not signing a life contract—you’re collecting data. One small win at a time.
