RETHINKING IT

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month and I am so happy to share this conversation with Courtney Schutze from Splash of Lyme. Courtney is hosting her second Crushing Lyme awareness campaign this month. In this discussion we discuss Courtney's journey to a diagnosis of chronic Lyme, how it has changed her life, and how tools like journaling, meditation, and acceptance have supported her healing.

I love this episode because it's two friends just talking about our lives. Katie and I explore our complicated relationships with social media, why mental health matters, and how we're both trying to live less in our heads and more in our bodies.

"I have chronic illness and this is my normal. And that's okay." Hilary Pearlson is sharing her journey through a bone marrow transplant and healing from Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. Together we explore how to let go of our old lives and dreams and routines in order to surrender to the reality of living with chronic illnesses.

It wasn’t until the doctor told me that my illness was incurable and untreatable that I realized how much I was clinging to the hope of a “cure” for whatever was wrong with me.

In this episode of RETHINKING IT, I am opening up about my recent health diagnosis and how it is forcing me to rethink my journey and what health and wholeness will look like for me.

In this episode, I explore grief and loss with Lisa Nagel. Our shared intention for this conversation is to support anyone moving through grief and to create the space to invite healing. Lisa shares so many insights around the grief process, how our society treats loss and grief, and what she means when she says that grief is an invitation. She also helps me rethink how I look at self-care by sharing a question she asks herself and her clients. It completely changed my approach to caring for myself in moments of stress, grief, or illness and I'm so grateful.

In this episode, Jennifer O'Neill and I are tackling the concept of self-love. So often we think self-love is the all or nothing, romanticized concept that we see on social media. Jennifer and I disagree and are sharing our versions of self-love and self-acceptance relating to body image, chronic illness, and work.

In this episode I guide you through one of my favorite meditations for relaxation - a body scan. This is a great meditation to practice before bed or whenever you need to reconnect to yourself, your breath, and your body.

I'm kicking off the new year and season 2 of RETHINKING IT with a really engaging conversation with Ruby Warrington. Ruby just released her second book, Sober Curious, and together we share our personal experiences with alcohol, talk about the reasons we drank, feeling like not drinking wasn't even an option in a world that normalizes alcohol, and how being sober curious allowed us to be more present in our lives and stop hiding and get comfortable in our own skin by having sober firsts.

Do you ever feel crazy around food? Like find yourself standing with the freezer door open eating ice cream as fast as you can because tomorrow you "can't" have the ice cream crazy around food? Or maybe you're always stressing about what you "should" eat or determining your worth based on what you did eat? Today's guest, Isabel Foxen Duke can help. She is on a mission to help you stop feeling crazy around food.

In this week's episode Stephanie talks to Michelle Maros, mindfulness expert and co-founder and creative director of Peaceful Mind Peaceful Life, a non-profit organization dedicated to furthering inner peace, wellness, and equality. In our conversation we rethink activism, politics, and how to truly live a peaceful life.
