In this heartwarming and insightful episode of Are You Awake Yet?, I sit down with my sister, Taylor Rickrode, RD, to explore her unique journey as a registered dietitian, mom, and spiritual seeker. Together, we dive into how she's navigated nutrition with her kids—balancing the needs of one in the low percentile for body fat and another in the high—while creating a positive, loving environment for them to thrive.

Taylor shares how releasing control and trusting in the bigger picture has been transformative, not only as a mom but also in her work with patients. We talk about the challenges many women face, feeling like they have to "be all the things," and how her journey to let go of perfectionism has helped her step into the best version of herself.

With deep spiritual insights and a beautiful reminder to return to our essence, Taylor explains how reconnecting with her playful, silly side has brought more joy into her life and made her work more meaningful. As someone who's always felt different in her field, Taylor's story shows how embracing those differences can be a gift—to ourselves and others.

This episode is for anyone who needs a little lightheartedness and a reminder of how loving and joyful life can truly be. Don't miss this uplifting conversation filled with wisdom, laughter, and inspiration.
