Mealtimes can feel like a high-stakes juggling act, especially when you're trying to "have it all” and make sure you’re providing nutritious food for your family and yourself. On one hand, you're a short-order cook glued to the kitchen, while on the other, the thought of one more dish sends you straight for the snack tray dinner.

In this episode, we're getting real about feeding our families. This is a no-judgment zone where we'll share practical ways to lower the bar, save your sanity, and find a rhythm that works for you. We'll cover everything from meal planning to snack strategies and share how to avoid drowning in a sea of dishes.

Welcome to part 2, where we touch on why our weight is important for long term health. We discuss the ways people manage through weight gain, losing weight and keeping yourself in check so it doesn’t become all you think about and miss out on life.

We hear it all the time: "Your weight doesn't define you." While that's true for your worth, the number on the scale really does matter when it comes to your long-term health. This episode goes beyond the diet culture and gets honest about the real-world link between your weight and your well-being.

Join us as we talk about the challenges of managing weight—the ups and downs, the small victories, and the big setbacks. We’ll share practical ways to stay in control without letting it control you, so you can prioritize your health and still live a full life. This is not another episode about dieting; it’s about finding balance and building habits that last.

We've all felt the pressure to be a certain size, and many of us tie our self-worth directly to the number on the scale. In this episode, we're getting personal, sharing the moments, from childhood to today, that shaped how we think about food, exercise, and our bodies.

We open up about the real challenges of maintaining a healthy weight after having kids, as we get older, and when life gets stressful. We'll explore what truly motivates us and what holds us back, and we’ll offer practical ways to practice radical self-love through it all.

This episode is all about the friendships that shape us and the surprising ways they impact our lives. We'll dive into moments when we realize just how much our adult friendships have made us better people.

We take a moment to honor the friendships that have run their course and that it’s okay to have friends that were only here for “a reason or a season"; and discuss why it's a beautiful thing to appreciate what they gave us, even if they're no longer in our lives.

But it's not just about our social calendars; we're also exploring how quality friendships can literally change our health for the better. Join us as we highlight how these connections can help keep us thriving, inside and out.
