If hunger isn't the problem, food isn't the solution.

That's the through line of everything Laura Conley does and once you hear her say it, you won't be able to un-hear it.

In this episode, I sit down with Laura Conley, life and weight loss coach, founder of the Yummy Mummy Method, and host of the top 1.5% podcast Lose Weight for the Last Time, for one of the most refreshing and genuinely funny conversations about food, bodies, and what it really takes to get out of the cycle for good.

Laura figured all of this out the hard way. She was the woman who knew every diet, had every supplement, had tried everythin and still couldn't follow through. Then her daughter came home from a month in the hospital as a newborn, and Laura took a shower and started beating herself up for not being back in her pre-baby jeans. That was the wake-up call. And the Yummy Mummy Method was born from everything she figured out after it.

Tune in!

Key insights:

• Why she had a breakdown in the shower after her daughter came home from the hospital and what it changed
• What emotional eating actually is and why most people don't realize they're doing it
• Hunger hormones: insulin, leptin, ghrelin, and how processed food hijacks your ability to hear your body
• Why willpower doesn't work and what allow power is instead
• Healthy happy restriction: the middle path between 800 calories a day and eating whatever you want
• The when-then game: "when I lose the weight, then I'll feel confident" and how to reverse it
• Pleasure as a non-negotiable why women who don't know what they enjoy are more likely to reach for food
• Almost immediate gratification: how to get a hit of reward without waiting six months for the goal
• The five pillars of the Yummy Mummy Method
• You are not bad or wrong. It's not your fault. And it might just be your responsibility.

The protein movement is one of the best things to happen to women's health in years and Morgan Zanotti has thoughts about it.

In this episode, I sit down with Morgan Zanotti — co-founder of Primal Kitchen, founder of Waay, and one of the most genuinely honest founders I've had on this show — for a conversation about building businesses, managing the mental weight of it, and why protein, but make it fun, might be exactly what we needed.

Morgan bootstrapped Primal Kitchen to $50 million in revenue without outside investors, pioneered seed-oil-free condiments before that was even a phrase people used, and sold it to Kraft Heinz for $200 million. Then she spotted a gap in the protein space, discovered clear whey protein isolate, and thought: put it in sparkling water. It's not that complicated. Call it day for your protein goals with Waay.

We also talk about the mental health breakout session at a VC summit that every founder showed up to and nobody expected, the Untethered Soul and what happened when she closed her eyes at a country club pool in her twenties, and why you don't have to have it figured out to take the next step.

Tune in!

Key insights:

• How Primal Kitchen started with mayonnaise and why that wasn't actually an accident
• Bootstrapping to $50M without investors
• Pioneering seed-oil-free condiments before anyone had words for it
• Why she said no to Walmart in year two and what happened when the timing was finally right
• Starting Waay when you know everything that can go wrong (it's harder and she knows it)
• The protein movement for women: why Morgan thinks it's one of the healthiest shifts in a long time
• The VC founder wellness breakout session no one expected to be standing room only
• The Untethered Soul, therapy, and how she manages anxiety as a visionary
• Building community by hiring people you genuinely love, not just people with the right resume
• You don't have to have it figured out. You never do. Keep going anyway.

What if your body knows what it needs before your mind does?

In this episode, I sit down with Erika Bloom, internationally renowned movement therapist and founder of Erika Bloom Wellness, to talk about what becomes possible when we understand how our bodies are actually designed to move, heal, and communicate with us.

Erika has spent nearly three decades studying the human body across more than 20 somatic modalities. We get into everything from interoception and fascia to posture, nervous system resilience, strength, digestion, and longevity. She also completely changed the way I think about “tight” muscles, good posture, and even what nervous system regulation is supposed to look like.

One of my favorite parts of this conversation is how practical it gets. We talk about the tiny patterns we repeat every day, why your big toe actually matters for longevity, and simple ways to become more connected to your body without adding another complicated wellness practice to your life.

Tune in!

Key insights:

• What interoception actually means and how to get better at hearing your body's signals
• Why your body can sometimes register how you feel before your conscious mind catches up
• Why “tight” muscles may be a protective response rather than something you need to stretch more
• Posture vs. protection and the patterns our bodies pick up from stress, injury, environment, and even our parents
• Why nervous system health is about adaptability, not trying to stay regulated and calm all day
• How healing movement affects much more than muscle, including digestion, circulation, fascia, bone health, and longevity
• The surprising connection between big toe mobility, gait, osteoporosis, and staying engaged with life as we age
• Why strength isn't just about lifting heavier and what Erika sees even with professional athletes
• What good posture actually looks and feels like
• Simple practices you can try today to reconnect with your body
• How becoming more somatically aware can change the way you care for yourself, relate to others, and make choices
• Why Erika believes we have far more ability to change how our bodies feel as we age than we've been taught

Hot take from someone who has been in the clean skincare industry since 1999: most skincare, even the clean stuff, is a band-aid. Your skin isn't broken. It's starving.

In this episode, I sit down with Tammy Demos — founder of Kleos+Klea, the world's first nutrient-focused skincare line — for a conversation that made me want to immediately audit everything on my bathroom shelf.

Tammy's story starts in 2014 when her skin completely fell apart. Melasma, hyperpigmentation, flaking, redness — and nothing in the clean beauty world touched it. She tried everything. She traveled to Thailand, Cambodia, Dubai looking for an esthetician with a secret nobody in the US had found. She came home empty-handed. And then she turned to plants. Three days later, her skin was responding. Two months later, it was healed. Seven years later, she hasn't gone back to a conventional skincare product once.

The line she built from that experience is like nothing else I've found. Four products — powder cleanser, mineral mist, powdered serum, omega oil. No water, no fillers, no stabilizers. Just 150+ nutrients per formula delivered to your skin as potent and pure as possible.

Tune in!

Key insights:

• The hot take: most skincare is a band-aid — your skin needs nutrients, not more products
• How Tammy's skin completely fell apart between 2014 and 2019 — and what healed it in 3 days
• Why she traveled to Thailand, Cambodia, and Dubai looking for skincare answers
• Nutrients are the language of cells — why your skin literally can't use what most products give it
• What your skin is actually telling you about what's happening inside your body
• Why powdered skincare delivers 100% potency vs. the 2-5% you get from water-based formulas
• Don't start your skincare routine until you're in a state of love and gratitude — the quantum physicist story
• Her daily routine: meditation, intention, gratitude, antioxidants before sunscreen
• The 4 Kleos+Klea products and where to start (hint: start with the mineral mist)
• The spiritual awakening that happened as she built this line — the plants kept giving her stories

Joy isn't the reward for a life well lived. It's what you have to be brave enough to pursue in the middle of all of it.

In this episode, I sit down with Alicia "ACE" Easter — wellness practitioner, yoga teacher, and founder of ACE Yoga LA — for one of the most genuinely human conversations I've had on this show.

ACE lost her father at 17 and her mother at 19. She was a freshman in college, lying next to her mom's body, thinking: it's just me now. What followed wasn't a breakdown — it was a decade of breadcrumbs. A free yoga class sign in Chicago. A gym in every new city. A mat that helped her grieve what she hadn't let herself grieve. And eventually — a calling so clear she couldn't ignore it.

Nearly 20 years later, she's teaching yoga to kids in preschools across LA, leading Peace in the Pause, and closing every class with the same words she dropped into her mind one day: stay brave in your pursuit of joy.

Tune in!

Key insights:

• How ACE found yoga in Chicago on a work trip and why it cracked her grief wide open
• Losing both parents before 19 and what she learned about survival, community, and trust
• What grief actually is — layered, ever-changing, and different every single year
• Stay brave in your pursuit of joy — the origin story and what it actually means to live it
• Peace in the Pause: a lifestyle shift, not just a breathing practice
• How she knew it was her turn — and what unshackling herself from the "alone forever" belief changed
• Why she started teaching yoga to kids and what she's watching happen in those little bodies
• What kids can teach us about falling, moving on, and asking for help
• The energize vs. drain scan — doing a 30-day review of your own lived experience

Most of us are living from a version of ourselves that was programmed before we turned seven. The beliefs we hold about our worth, our money, our capacity, downloaded before we had any say. And most of us have never questioned whether any of it is actually true.

In this episode, I sit down with Tasha Triana – transformational coach, certified hypnotherapist, and former nurse – for one of the most grounding, eye-opening conversations about identity, subconscious reprogramming, and becoming your future self.

Tasha spent a decade in nursing, survived early burnout, got rejected from Doctors Without Borders, went on a nine-week solo backpacking trip through Central America – and followed every breadcrumb until she built a practice dedicated to helping people close the gap between who they are and who they're becoming.

Her claim? Your mind is neuroplastic. Which means change isn't just possible – it's available to you right now.

Tune in!

Key insights:

• 90% of your subconscious programming was set before age 7 – most of us have never questioned it
• What the subconscious mind actually is – the iceberg analogy that reframes everything
• How your thoughts create your feelings, your frequency, and what you attract
• What hypnotherapy actually is
• How Tasha wrote her own future self script and listened every morning to rewire her identity
• The energize vs. drain list – one of the most powerful and accessible tools in this episode
• Why survival mode is normal – but oscillating between it and rest is the real goal
• The three life experiences that will bring every limiting belief to the surface
• Proximity as power: getting into rooms where your future self already exists
• How to start following the breadcrumbs toward who you're actually here to become

What if wellness didn't add pressure, it reduced it?

In this episode, I sit down with Angie Tebbe, co-founder and CEO of Rae Wellness, for a grounded, honest conversation about building a brand that actually serves women, not just sells to them.

Angie grew up in Fargo, North Dakota meditating in the yard while her dad did Reiki and her mom handed out Advil. She spent 15 years at Microsoft and Target overseeing $15 billion in P&L and then walked away to fill a gap the wellness industry had left wide open: a brand rooted in support over correction, consistency over intensity, and meeting women exactly where they are.

Rae launched in 2019 and reached 4.5 million customers without selling out. This is how she did it and why.

Tune in!

Key insights:

• From $15B P&L at Target to founding Rae and the slow, undeniable signs that led her there
• The shift from performance to alignment: what it changed and how it shows up now
• Support over correction: why Rae's wellness philosophy is the antidote to the industry
• What accessibility actually means - it's not just price, it's language, representation + trust
• Building a brand with soul: values as the filter for every decision
• The moment Rae pulled a product from Target shelves and why it built more trust
• Community as a two-way relationship, not an acquisition metric
• Creating space quarterly: Angie's hotel-for-two-nights clarity practice
• What's next for Rae beyond products and the thing she hasn't started yet but knows she's meant to

Limitless isn't always about shooting for the stars. Sometimes it's about going down into the decay first and deciding what you're going to plant in its place.

In this special episode, I'm bringing you inside the We Shine Well Summit: Limitless, where @kelseyjpatel, @aceyogala, and @sabrina_soto joined me for one of the best coversations.

Kelsey built a healing career out of pain and after answering her mother's calls from the psych ward from her Capitol Hill cubicle. ACE lost her mother at 19 and turned that grief into a global yoga and children's mindfulness movement. Sabrina was homeless at 17, kept her family home beautiful out of necessity, found a Craigslist ad at 4am, and filmed her first HGTV show 16 weeks later.

They followed the breadcrumbs + turned pain into purpose.

Key insights:

• The compost-to-garden framework, pain and decay become the soil for new growth
• ACE's story: losing her mom at 19 and finding yoga, grief, and community along the way
• Sabrina's story: homeless at 17, a 4am doorbell, a Craigslist ad, and 20 years on HGTV

You are not here to contain yourself. You are here to live as your most alive self.

In this special episode, I'm bringing you inside our 2026 We Shine Well Summit: Limitless, where Samantha Skelly, speaker, author, founder of Pause Breathwork, opened the day with one of the most powerful, electric experiences I've ever witnessed in a room full of women.

Samantha walked away from a $2.7 million company because her soul was crushed, started over with nothing but a whisper from the universe, and built one of the most recognized breathwork platforms in the world. Her workshop, Can't Be Contained, is part philosophy, part nervous system activation, part breathwork journey, and all of it is an invitation to come home to the fullest, most alive version of yourself.

We talk about energy as your greatest business asset, the inner board of directors framework, why aliveness is the strategy, and then we move into the most powerful breathwork session ever recorded at a WSW event.

Watch on YouTube for the full embodied experience. Listen wherever you are for the philosophy and the breath.

Tune in!

Key insights:

• Why your energy and aliveness are your greatest business assets, not your strategy
• The moment Samantha walked away from a $2.7M company and what the universe said next
• Profit is proof of alignment, what that actually means and how to live it
• The inner board of directors: your aligned self, inner child, soul, and God/life force
• Why your inner child running the show is costing you money, clients, and joy
• Women in business are playing a different game and what that actually requires
• Why Samantha optimizes for joy over revenue and what follows when she does
• Collaboration over competition as the foundation of feminine entrepreneurship
