How do we move from one year to the next without feeling burnt out and unsuccessful? Are our goals and resolutions arbitrary or with purpose and intention?
This week's podcast discusses how the diet industry capitalizes on women's insecurity and feeds the narrative that we must "shrink" to become worthy.
As we continue to diet continuously, we settle into the mindset that suffering is necessary in order to be "healthy". Listen as I share what wellness isn't & what it truly is.

In this week's episode, Rebecca Hamlin, LCSW joins me once again to discuss the "myth" of balance."
Balance. Everyone wants it. Nobody can seem to grasp it.
Balance is elusive because it assumes that all things are equal. That is never the case. We are never tending to EVERYTHING equally and with the same attention. We discuss ways to practice "wholeness" rather than aspiring for balance.
Before you hit the "GO" button for 2020, listen to this episode to pause before setting those resolutions. Take time to rest and reflect so that you intentionally plan 2020. By focusing on the QUALITY of your new year, you decrease your stress and avoid burnout.

Inspired by a post from Mike Foster on Instagram, I discuss the impact of society on our stress levels. Women are burning out at increasingly rapid rates because of the pursuit of perfection that is exacerbated by social media. We are told to be ourselves; what we see as we scroll are women with seemingly perfect lives. As we add this burden to be ourselves, AKA “perfect”, we push our bodies into stress overdrive, resulting in Adrenal Fatigue or burnout.
Join me this week as I bring on Rebecca Hamlin, LCSW. She is a super special friend of mine and I am so excited to share her with you!

We laughed so much, talked about important issues we face as women with families and businesses, and created some more awareness about the importance of stress management.
Work-related stress is at an all-time high and progressing steadily. It has been estimated that 75-90% of patient visits to primary care practitioners are due to stress-related illness.* Stress and busy have become synonymous; while being touted as a badge of honor.
