004 | Improving Self-Trust & Confidence through Intuitive Eating with Stephanie Webb

LISTEN NOW: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER

Do you trust yourself around food? Or do you believe you need an expert to tell you what’s best for your body? If you’ve ever felt guilty for overeating, anxious around sweets, or frustrated by a “lack of willpower,” you may be feeling the impact of diet culture—subtle and overt messages about how your body should look and what it means to be healthy.

Eat with Confidence

As a holistic nutritionist and eating psychology coach, Stephanie Webb helps women heal their relationship with food and become confident eaters. Instead of offering a meal plan or macros, Stephanie teaches women to listen to their inner wisdom and make decisions that help them feel satisfied, nourished, and invigorated.

What is Intuitive Eating?

In this interview, Stephanie dispels the myth that intuitive eating means giving up on health. Instead, it means trusting your body to know when, what, and how much to eat. It’s a way to practice self-care, while respecting personal preferences. It also means challenging your own weight bias, or the idea that “thin is best.” Stephanie shares simple tips for ditching diet culture and becoming a more intuitive eater.

Food & Self-Trust

We also discuss how a lack of self-trust around food may be spilling over into the rest of your life—plus, what you can do about it!

003 | Belonging & Boundaries: How to Really Love Yourself with Jenna Rammell

LISTEN NOW: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER

You can spend your whole life chasing approval and acceptance from family, friends, and strangers, or you can stand still and give yourself the love, compassion, and security you’ve always wanted. You can belong with yourself. Finding this inner peace is a process of identifying your values, honoring your needs, and setting loving boundaries to protect your energy.

Secrets of Self-Love

In this interview, Jenna Rammell shares how a crumbling friendship forced her to re-examine her source of self-worth and belonging. She explains how affirmations, energy work, and a gratitude practice helped her process old pain and show up stronger in real life and in her online community. She also shares how this inner work transformed future friendships.

What is True Belonging?

Jenna emphasizes that “belonging with yourself” isn’t selfish or solitary. It’s a way of moving through the world, knowing your worth, listening to your intuition, and releasing others from unfair expectations. It allows you to show up to life with more confidence and compassion.

Why You Need Boundaries

Boundaries are a natural result of belonging with yourself. Jenna explains that boundaries are not cement walls but gentle barriers that protect you from doing things you later regret or resent. Jenna assures us that setting new personal boundaries may feel uncomfortable at first but may not be as confrontational as we expect.

Also in this episode

• Why codependent friendships leave you feeling drained, unappreciated, and unloved.

• How subconscious energy sabotages conscious efforts to be kind, loving, and abundant.

• Giving yourself permission to evolve, even when it may disappoint others.

• How to stop living like a martyr and start showing up for yourself and others.

002 | Embrace Imperfection: The Secret to Growth & Connection with Monica Packer

LISTEN NOW: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER

Perfectionism isn’t just putting your best foot forward, having high standards, or worrying about tiny details. Perfectionism is a fear-based mindset that keeps you from trying new things, sticking to challenging goals, and sharing your talents with others. It keeps you hustling for external validation or hiding in the shadows to avoid judgment.

Progress Over Perfection

As a self-identified “recovering perfectionist,” Monica Packer is leading a movement to help women overcome fear of failure and rejection by focusing on “progress over perfection.” Her inspiring podcast, About Progress, is a product of her own courage to try something new and embrace the messy growth process.

In this interview, Monica shares her journey from paralyzed perfectionist to determined “progressor”—a term she uses to describe her community members. She speaks candidly about her eating disorder and how her “perfect” life began unravelling while she was studying in Europe, at the epicenter of everything she loved.

The Truth about Perfectionism

Monica explains that, at its core, perfectionism is driven by a desire to live above the human condition, without flaws or weaknesses. It’s a destructive force that keeps you looking side-to-side—comparing and competing—which disconnects you from others, your Higher Power, and your own intuition. Monica offers practical advice for overcoming perfectionism and embracing a growth mindset.

Also in this episode

• The dark and destructive consequences of perfectionism.

• Ditching the “idealized woman” and creating a better vision for your life.

• How to make a “Do Something Bucket List” to explore your passions.

• Two types of perfectionism: overachieving and underachieving.

001 | Stop Hustling: How to Slow Down & Simplify Life with Rebecca Cooper

LISTEN NOW: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER

In our fast-paced world, slowing down takes effort. We must learn to simplify our calendars, focus our attention, and say no to distractions—and sometimes, we must say no to good things that pull us away from our highest priorities.

Collect Moments, Not things

In this interview, Rebecca Cooper, founder of the lifestyle site Simple As That, shares how her definition of “simplicity” has evolved over the years. She also explains how she keeps her family moving at a slower pace, so they can savor ordinary, unremarkable moments in everyday life.

In 2010, with four kids under the age of eight, the Coopers sold most of their belongings and moved to the Caribbean so Rebecca’s husband could attend medical school. Rebecca shares how living with fewer physical possessions and fewer modern conveniences taught her to “collect moments, not things” and sparked a family culture of adventuring close to home.

Slow Down & Recharge Daily

Rebecca reminds us that self-worth isn’t tied to productivity or accomplishments. She emphasizes the importance of self-care and rest, encouraging women to sit down and recharge every day. We also discuss the benefits of declaring a “season of rest” as a way to minimize anxiety and comparison.

Also in this episode

• Using a camera to see ordinary moments with new eyes.

• Unexpected benefits of minimalism.

• Teaching children life lessons through hiking and exploring.

• How to stop measuring your self-worth by your to-do list.

• Essential questions to streamline your calendar.
