The Wellness Process

In today’s episode, Elizabeth sits down with Katie Sturino, founder of Megababe and longtime body acceptance advocate, to explore how stress, shame, and major life transitions can impact both mental and physical health. Katie opens up about her divorce and the season that followed, including gaining 70 pounds, facing borderline diabetes, and confronting the belief that her life was over. She shares how that chapter ultimately became a turning point in reclaiming her health and sense of agency.

They discuss how chronic stress can manifest physically, including Katie’s experience with shingles, and why nervous system regulation became a non-negotiable part of her healing. Katie speaks candidly about food noise, GLP-1 medications, and the mental relief that can come when constant internal chatter quiets. They also dive into luteal phase body image shifts, dressing room shame memories, and how rewiring the way you speak to yourself can be one of the most powerful forms of healing. This conversation is not about shrinking your body. It is about understanding your patterns, listening to your body, and choosing not to stay stuck.

In today’s episode, Elizabeth goes solo and gets fired up. She shares personal updates on skiing in Aspen, her recent energetic blueprint session, and what she’s learning about authenticity, visibility, and staying aligned in a noisy world.

Elizabeth opens up about starting low-dose Synthroid after discovering subclinical thyroid levels while preparing to try to conceive, and why she’s choosing to stay on her SSRI during pregnancy. She speaks candidly about the stigma around medication, black-and-white wellness culture, and the freedom of embracing an 80/20 approach to health. She also addresses cyber bullying, the pressure on influencers to speak politically, and why staying in her lane is an intentional choice.

In today’s episode, Elizabeth sits down with Vienna Pharaon, licensed marriage and family therapist and author of The Origins of You, to explore how the family you grew up in shapes the way you love, communicate, and respond in relationships. Vienna shares how her own childhood experiences influenced her work and explains why many of our adult patterns are rooted in unresolved origin wounds formed early in life.

They discuss the five core wounds of worthiness, belonging, prioritization, trust, and safety, and how they show up in dating, conflict, and intimacy. Vienna explains why big emotional reactions often point to older pain and why awareness alone is not enough to create change. She shares how curiosity, grieving, and intentional healing work can help you break repeating patterns and build healthier relationships moving forward.

In today’s episode, Elizabeth sits down with Mimi Bouchard to talk about upgrading your magnetism, shifting your mindset, and learning how to think differently this year. Mimi shares how she did a full 180 in her life by auditing the core areas of her wellbeing and committing to small, daily habits that compounded over time.

They talk about why you cannot hate yourself into a life or body you love, how identity shifts change your energy, and why embodying your future self starts now. Mimi explains how activations became her alternative to traditional meditation, how visualization helps rewire the brain, and why habit stacking makes personal growth more sustainable.

Elizabeth and Mimi also dive into adopting an investor mindset in every area of life, focusing on 10x actions instead of busy work, and measuring success by your bounce back rate rather than perfection. They unpack how to stop waiting for the perfect moment, move out of victim mentality, and take full responsibility for your life so you can create real change.

In today’s episode, Elizabeth sits down with Lee Tilghman to talk about dating, self worth, and redefining wellness after years in the public eye. Lee shares how raising her standards, reconnecting with her intuition, and building a full life of her own led her to meeting her partner and getting engaged on a nontraditional timeline.

They discuss dating in your thirties, not settling, and the difference between feeling ready and actually being ready. Lee also opens up about her early rise in the wellness space, stepping away from social media, and what it looked like to rebuild her relationship with wellness, identity, and nervous system regulation on her own terms.

In today’s episode, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Jessica Peatross to discuss what it means to heal beyond the traditional medical system. Dr. Peatross shares how her work shifted from symptom based care to a root cause approach, and why nervous system regulation is often the missing piece for people struggling with chronic symptoms.

They talk through detox pathways, trauma stored in the body, and why healing cannot happen when the nervous system does not feel safe. Dr. Peatross explains how supporting the body first allows true healing to unfold, and why working with the body rather than fighting it changes everything.

In today’s episode, Elizabeth goes solo for a candid Q+A, answering listener questions on manifestation, intuition, and preparing her body for pregnancy. She shares how she’s learning to work with her cycle, regulate her nervous system, and make decisions from a place of trust rather than control.

Elizabeth also opens up about the manifestation practices she uses to set intentions, including vision boards, embodiment, and gut-led decision making. She reflects on career pivots, following intuition, and why 2026 feels like a turning point for alignment, ease, and self-trust.

In today’s episode, Elizabeth sits down with Allison Evans, Co-Founder of Branch Basics, to explore the link between toxic home environments and chronic health symptoms. Allison shares her personal health journey, including being diagnosed with severe PCOS at a young age and how years of unexplained pain and hormone imbalance led her to question what she was putting in, on, and around her body.

Together, they discuss how everyday household products, including cleaning sprays, laundry detergents, and many so-called “green” alternatives, can contribute to inflammation, hormone disruption, and nervous system stress. Allison explains why removing environmental toxins is often a critical step in healing and how greenwashing makes it difficult for consumers to know what is truly safe. This conversation offers practical insight into creating a healthier home, reading ingredient labels, and understanding why healing often begins with removal.

In today’s episode, Elizabeth sits down with Elissa Goodman, holistic nutritionist and cancer survivor, to explore the connection between stress, emotional health, and chronic illness. Elissa shares her story of being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma at 32 and the doctor who changed her life by asking a question no one else had. That moment sparked a mindset shift that became the foundation of her healing.

She opens up about choosing a different path than fear-based treatment protocols, navigating cancer without chemotherapy, and realizing how chronic stress and emotional suppression had impacted her health long before her diagnosis. Elissa also reflects on the grief of later losing her husband to cancer, becoming a single mother, and how those experiences ultimately led her toward purpose-driven work. Together, they explore how nervous system regulation, emotional honesty, and self-belief support healing. They discuss why so many women live in a constant state of fight-or-flight and how perfectionism and people-pleasing can manifest physically in the body. Elissa shares her holistic approach to wellness, including food as nourishment, functional medicine, and peptides, and explains why true healing must address the mind, body, and spirit.

In today’s episode, Elizabeth sits down with Amber Rae, bestselling author and speaker, to explore what happens when we choose safety over truth and the cost of staying in relationships that no longer align. Amber opens up about her experience in a sexless marriage, the fear of disappointing others, and the moment she realized love and safety are not the same thing. She shares how meeting her now husband became a catalyst for radical honesty and forced her to confront long buried wounds around intimacy, self worth, and abandonment.

They dive into why so many women stay in “good enough” lives, how contrast reveals what is truly out of alignment, and what it means to take a trust fall toward growth instead of comfort. Amber also reflects on nervous system regulation, learning how to feel rather than fix emotions, becoming a mother, and how writing her memoir Lovable became an act of self liberation.
