Unveiling the Beast

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! This week on the Unveiling the Beast podcast, I sat down with Katie Sorensen, a nurse practitioner and owner of Weight Loss NP, to dig into one of the most misunderstood topics on the internet right now: GLP-1 medications. You know, the ones people love to hate, like Ozempic and ZepBound. As someone who’s been waist-deep in the research for months (because yes, that’s what us nerdy, weight-neutral coaches do), I wanted to bring nuance and facts into a conversation that’s gotten way too loud and way too shallow. Katie broke down what these meds actually are, how they work with your body (not against it), and why calling them “the easy way out” is just lazy and harmful. Spoiler: they’ve been around for decades, are made of naturally occurring peptides, and they’re doing a hell of a lot more than shrinking waistlines.

We also talked about the emotional weight behind physical weight, the ridiculous judgment people face for using science to support their health, and how these meds are turning down the obsessive food noise that steals so much brain space. Katie and I are both on the same page: it’s not about glorifying weight loss. It’s about freeing people to focus on what actually matters in life. We covered everything from muscle preservation to mental health to why strength training is the real anti-aging hack. And if you've ever looked at someone using a weekly injection and thought, “Must be nice,” this episode will shift your perspective. As always, we ended with some wisdom, and Katie’s was simple and powerful: get outside, soak in the sunshine, and walk. Because sometimes, the best medicine is free and found in the fresh air.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! This week’s episode hit me deep in the heart (and the joints, let’s be real) because we’re talking about something most people avoid until it’s knocking on their door: retirement. But not the “save money, buy an RV, wave goodbye to your coworkers” kind. I sat down with Wendy Leggett, founder of Conflux Retirement Coaching, and we cracked open what it really means to prepare for retirement from the non-financial side. Wendy brings the wisdom (and receipts) on how to make that transition feel less like a scary ending and more like a badass reintroduction to yourself. Think identity, purpose, mindset, and how to not become a permanent fixture on the couch watching 47 hours of TV a week.

This convo got personal, too. I shared the story of my stepdad, Mike Moffat, co-founder of Schiit Audio and inventor of the first digital-to-analog converter, who’s 76, in a wheelchair, has been through more medical crises than a hospital drama… and still refuses to retire because he loves what he does. And honestly? I get it. If coaching lights me up in my 70s the way it does now, you’re gonna have to pry the mic from my cold, beastly hands. If you’ve ever wondered what it means to really take care of your future self (mind, body, and spirit) this episode is your wake-up call. Let’s stop letting society define our next chapter and start rewriting it ourselves.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

Bio: Wendy Leggett is a Professional Certified Coach and owner of Conflux Retirement Coaching, specializing in non-financial retirement life planning. With 25 years of corporate sales leadership experience, she guides clients through a fulfilling retirement transition, focusing on well-being, identity, feelings of purpose, connectedness, and positive aging. Wendy holds advanced credentials from the Retirement Project, Retirement Life Plan, Modern Elder Academy and Positive Intelligence and co-authored the book “The Retirement Collective”.

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! My conversation with Keri Cooper hit me right in the gut in the best way. She’s a holistic therapist and certified sleep science coach who’s been helping people heal for over 25 years, and y’all, she came in hot with the truth: everything comes back to sleep. Not just your energy, but your appetite, hormones, memory, mood, immune function, and every system in your body relies on you getting solid, consistent rest. We talked about how sleep deprivation doesn’t just make you tired, it makes life feel impossible. I felt so seen remembering my own six-year run of chronic sleep deprivation. I kept wondering why I was hungry all the time and couldn’t “get it together,” but spoiler alert: it wasn’t discipline I needed, it was rest.

Keri also shared something that really stuck with me. The way we track and obsess over sleep (or calories, or steps) can backfire hard. When we make sleep a performance goal instead of a basic need, we end up anxious, disconnected, and ironically, even more tired. It reminded me of the years I spent battling food instead of listening to my body. Keri’s approach is all about getting back in tune with your natural rhythms and letting sleep be something you honor, not something you fight. If you’ve ever felt broken for being exhausted, this episode is a full-body exhale and a gentle wake-up call that sleep isn’t a luxury, it’s your foundation.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

Bio: Keri Cooper is a psychotherapist of 25+ years and the founder of Sleep Solutions by Keri, a virtual sleep coaching program for adults. After seeing how deeply sleep impacts mental health, she became a certified sleep science coach and now helps people get the rest they need to thrive. Keri combines evidence-based sleep strategies with insights from decades of counseling. She’s also a speaker and the author of two books, both of which dedicate an entire chapter to the importance of sleep.

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! You know I’ve been deep in the research rabbit hole on GLP-1 medications, and today I brought back the brilliant Ann Kent, Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, to help break it all down in a way that actually makes sense. We’re talking about what GLP-1s really are, what they do in the body, and why their benefits go far beyond the before and after photos we keep seeing online. This conversation gets into everything from blood sugar regulation and food noise to the nuanced risks, side effects, and even the hot-button topic of microdosing. Ann brings the science, and I bring the sass (and the receipts, because yes, I made a whole damn PDF of studies).

This episode isn’t about hyping a miracle drug or demonizing it either. It’s about adding context, compassion, and critical thinking to a conversation that’s way too often hijacked by diet culture. If you’re a coach, trainer, health nerd, or just someone curious about what these meds are doing in bodies (besides shrinking them), this one’s for you. We dig into intuitive eating, strength training, protein needs, and how healing your relationship with food makes a huge difference if you're considering or currently taking a GLP-1. Because tools are only helpful when they’re used with care, and love, not punishment, is still the foundation of this health adventure.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

Bio: Ann Kent is a Registered Dietitian, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and the owner of Peas and Hoppiness. She makes mealtime easier for busy families with her meal planning app, the Peas and Hoppy Meal Guides.

Ann grew up on a farm and trained as a dietitian, earning her master’s degree in nutrition and dietetics. For most of her career she worked as a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist.

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! This episode is for anyone who has ever tried to self-help their way out of pain with green juice, breathwork, and a Pinterest-perfect morning routine, only to find themselves crying in bed at 5 a.m. trying to hold it all together. I sat down with Rich Life (yep, that’s his actual name), and we cracked open a powerful convo about what happens when you finally stop trying to control every emotion and start listening to what’s underneath. Rich didn’t just change his name. He changed the entire way he moves through life, and now he helps others do the same by reconnecting with the wisdom that’s been inside them all along.

We explored what it really means to let go, why trying to "fix yourself" might be making things worse, and how judgment, fear, and overthinking can mask your most authentic self. Rich talked about emotional burnout, misdiagnosis, and the moment his body said, "Enough." And through it all, we came back to this simple truth: you are not broken. You’re just buried under layers of noise that were never yours to begin with. If you’ve been looking for permission to slow down, feel deeply, and find your way home to yourself, this one is your permission slip.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

Bio: Rich Life is the “Good Enough” coach. When someone tells him they aren’t good enough, he never believes them. With more than 10 years experience in coaching and education, he uses metaphor and in the moment wisdom to guide clients toward innate wellness.  

Rich helps achievers get the mental brakes off so they can accomplish more with less stress. Does thinking you aren’t good enough block you from being your best? Reach out to Rich!

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! Taimi Lawler brought the fire and the heart in this conversation, y’all. From battling chronic anxiety and an undiagnosed autoimmune disease to finding deep healing through yoga, belief work, and cellular health, her story is one of fierce self-trust and refusing to settle for “just get on meds and deal with it.” Taimi took us through her journey of total life overhaul: turning constipation and panic attacks into a calling to help others stretch beyond their symptoms and into deep, sustainable healing. Her blend of mind-body practices with cellular and genetic testing helps her clients stop guessing and start living in alignment, and I couldn’t stop nodding through this entire episode.

What I loved most? Taimi doesn't just talk about awareness and healing, she embodies it. Whether it’s dancing on the yoga mat like a soulful DJ or reading hair tissue like a forensic wellness wizard, she’s all about honoring the body’s signals, not silencing them. This convo reminded me how powerful it is to ask not just “What should I be doing?” but “Who am I when I’m doing it?” And the answer? Hopefully someone who’s tuned in, breathing deeply, and maybe sipping a little extra magnesium.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

Bio: In her early 20s, she was a high-functioning perfectionist battling anxiety, panic attacks, sleepless nights, and chronic health issues while constantly striving to prove she was good enough. Rather than staying stuck in the symptoms, she committed to healing from the inside out. Today, she is an Integrative Anxiety Specialist, Certified Health Coach, and RYT500 Yoga Instructor. With a background in Speech and Language Pathology, she helps clients reduce anxiety and reclaim their energy through her 1:1 Aligned Program. Using genetic and cellular health testing alongside lifestyle and nervous system support, she creates personalized plans that help clients feel better, move more, and get shit done.

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! This conversation with Libby Supan lit me up in the best way. We got real about something that’s become a lightning rod in the wellness world, GLP-1 medications, and unpacked the shame, fear, and judgment that often come with them. Libby brought her brilliance as a therapist and intuitive eating counselor, and together we explored what it means to make health decisions from a place of intention, not pressure. We talked body autonomy, the complexities of healing after disordered eating, and how critical thinking and curiosity can be more healing than any quick fix.

I also opened up about my own experience, something I haven’t shared publicly before, because it felt like the right moment. Not to defend a choice or offer a prescription, but to show what it looks like to move through this work with eyes wide open. Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and this episode is a reminder that nuance, self-trust, and lived experience matter more than internet opinions. If you’ve been wrestling with how to hold both growth and choice in the same hand, this one’s for you.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

Bio: Libby Supan is a licensed marriage and family therapist, certified intuitive eating counselor, and someone who brings deep personal insight to her work after recovering from a 20-year battle with an eating disorder. Her lived experience is the foundation of her passionate commitment to helping others heal.

Libby runs a therapy and coaching practice that supports individuals who feel overwhelmed by constant thoughts about food and body image. She specializes in guiding those stuck in unhealthy eating patterns such as: emotional eating, overeating, binge eating and restricting food toward intuitive eating and lasting food freedom.

What up, Beasts! Welcome back to the show! When I sat down with Sri Mahabir, I expected a conversation about content and strategy, but what I got was a full-on masterclass in authenticity, grief, growth, and grit. Sri didn’t just fall into social media management. She resisted the label until her life and business quite literally demanded it. From helping people get camera-ready to building strategy for doctors and lawyers, her journey is a perfect example of how saying yes to that one thing can actually open doors to all the things. We talked about how fear of judgment stops people from hitting record, and Sri reminded me (and now you) that what we’re often scared of isn’t being on camera. It’s what might happen after we post. But we miss out on so much when we let that fear win.

What moved me the most was her honesty about showing up in the hard seasons, like after being assaulted and losing her father in the same month. She could have hidden, but instead, she used the camera as a place to process, connect, and eventually heal. Her message was clear. Share what you want, when you’re ready, but don’t underestimate the impact of your story. Someone out there is waiting to hear it, not because it’s perfect, but because it’s real. Sri is the kind of guest that makes you feel both seen and called in, like she’s handing you permission to be messy, to be human, and to still hit record anyway.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

Bio: In spite of her camera shyness, Sri Mahabir was determined to share her story and the stories of other entrepreneurs. 

In April of 2020,  Sri created the IG live series Journey of an Entrepreneur.”  After interviewing 100 entrepreneurs, she realized her passion. Sri helps medical, dental and law practices to build awareness to their practices by using social media, video, and podcasts  to bring in leads, opportunities for public speaking engagements, and being a guest on a podcast.  

Sri is a social media manager and remote producer who offers a done-for-you service: social media management, live recording of content, video editing, and producing your live streaming show or podcast. 

Sri has another show which she guest Hosts w/ Russ Hedge & D Scott Wednesdays Morning on IG called The Experience Backstage

What up, Beasts! This episode is a special one. I got to sit down with my first couple guests, Brian and Erica McKay, and let me tell you, they brought the realness. We went deep into what it means to do relationship work from the inside out because these two didn’t just read the books and slap a coaching title on their IG bios. Nope. They lived it. From divorces and betrayal to repeating old patterns and nearly calling it quits, they laid it all out. But what got me was how they didn’t just look outward for answers. They turned inward, did the messy trial and error work, and created a relationship roadmap they now use to help other couples thrive.

We talked about fighting the problem instead of each other, why your communication skills might be the real relationship MVP, and how everything from your blood sugar to your sleep habits can either fuel your love life or slowly torch it. Erica and Brian’s approach to couple to couple coaching is one I’d never heard before, and now I can’t stop thinking about how brilliant it is. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking “we love each other, but we can’t seem to make it work,” this convo is the permission slip and playbook you didn’t know you needed.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

What up, Beasts. Damn. This episode lit me up. I got to sit down with Melani, aka The Love Coach, and y’all… we went in. Melani isn’t just tossing around heart emojis and affirmations. This woman has lived through some serious chapters and came out with a roadmap for self-love and real healing. She opened up about the slump she hit after her son left the house and how hiring a coach helped her rediscover her purpose. That purpose? Helping people peel back their emotional layers, onion tears and all, and get honest about what’s actually keeping them from the love they crave. Spoiler: it usually starts with a whole lot of unresolved trauma and a disconnection from your authentic self.

We talked about how microtraumas, attachment styles, and unhealed wounds can sneak into our relationships like little emotional landmines, and how real healing doesn’t end just because you left the toxic relationship or finally met someone new. Melani broke down the importance of dating yourself (yes, like concerts and roller coasters, party of one!) and how being alone doesn’t mean being lonely. She reminded me, and hopefully you too, that loving yourself is the foundation for receiving love from anyone else. And if you’re stuck in the cycle of jumping from relationship to relationship, it might be time to pause, get out of those DMs, and turn inward. Because as Melani said, healing is ongoing and you are so worthy of doing that work.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.
