Body Insecurities & Wisdom From Kiddos

This last weekend, Brent and I had two of my nieces, McKinley and Cora, for a weekend sleepover. We crafted, had a movie night, countless kitchen dance parties, we cooked together, went to the beach, went to the toy store, had ice cream, went on nature walks, and got glammed up and fancy for a photoshoot. Not only did we all have a BLAST, but they also taught me so much as well.

Body Shaming - A Man’s Perspective with Alex Youdim

In this episode, I chat with my new friend Alex Youdim. Shortly before his 40th birthday, in the height of the pandemic, he was laid off from a job he loved and broke up with his girlfriend after 5+ years invested in each and finally decided to take control of his life. In the year and a half since, he’s refocused on himself, his health, and his mindset. Along the way of losing 120 pounds and counting, he has found a version of himself that he loves and for a long time thought was lost.

Candid Thoughts About Before & After Photos

On this week’s episode of the podcast, join me in a candid conversation about before and after photos. To be honest, I have mixed feelings about them. I waver between seeing them as a powerful tool to inspire and connect with others while also struggling with how to make sure they aren’t unintentionally instilling more shame and perpetuating the problems that diet culture has created.

Facing Your Fear with Brooke Taylor

Today’s guest is my friend Brooke Taylor. I would describe her as wildly witty, a powerful creative, with an adventurous spirit, and just about as resilient as they come. We’ll chat about how Brooke is learning to embrace her body post-cancer as well as empowering her daughter to love herself and her body too, no matter what life brings her. She makes the daily choice to be brave and talks about what it takes to face our fears.

Lie of "Once"

We all have a lie of “once.” I’ll finally be happy ONCE… once I lose the weight, once I have the ring, once I buy the house. But most of the time what we truly want isn’t the thing, but the feeling we think the thing will give us. For me, the story was always weight loss. That’s what I thought I wanted. But what I actually wanted was acceptance, self-love, romantic love, self-confidence, freedom, joy, and energy and to keep up with my nieces.

We don’t want THINGS, we want the feeling we think the things will give us.

But here’s the kicker…

Feelings are born of thought, not circumstance. MINDSET is everything.

How you think and feel about yourself influences the way you show up in every aspect of your life. What you THINK. Impacts how you FEEL. Which determines what you DO.
