Can't picture where you'll be in five years? Same here. In episode 70, I break down what a 5-year plan really is, including the pros, the cons, and the honest truth that it's not for everyone. You'll hear simple ways to build one that fits you, from spreadsheets to vision boards, plus what surprised her when she made her own. Walk away with one small step to take this week and permission to hold your plan loosely.

She's up before everyone else, running the mental checklist before her feet even hit the floor. She's sharp at work, dependable at home, and if you ask how she's doing, she'll say "busy, but good." She is not good — she's running on fumes, quietly convinced that if she slows down, someone will notice she's not enough.

In this Body and Mind Strong episode, I'm naming a pattern I see constantly in my practice: women carrying not just the physical tasks of home and work, but the invisible mental load underneath them — the noticing, the anticipating, the remembering that never actually clocks out. We'll look at what the research says about why this falls so disproportionately on women, why it leads to burnout and imposter syndrome, and — most importantly — three real shifts you can start making this week to put some of that weight down. Plus, a homework assignment to take with you.

If you've ever felt exhausted on a day you "didn't do that much," this one's for you.

Fad diets promise fast results — and they deliver, at first. But nearly 90% of people who lose weight this way gain it right back. In this episode, I break down four real reasons fad diets fail in the long run, from crash-and-burn motivation to restrictive rules that starve your body of what it needs. Then she shares what to actually look for in a plan: one that fits your life, allows flexibility, supports movement, and favors slow, steady progress over a quick fix that doesn't last. If you're tired of the yo-yo cycle, this episode will help you spot the red flags and choose an approach built to stick.
