    Tiffany Owen on Breaking Free from Trauma and Self-Sabotage If you’re feeling stuck, self-sabotaging, or longing for real change—especially when life looks “fine” on the outside—this episode is for you. Health journalist Natalie Tysdal sits down with Tiffany Owen, mindset and fitness coach, author of Wounded to Warrior, and mother of four, to share powerful and practical wisdom on overcoming trauma, taking ownership of your life, and becoming the woman you’re meant to be. Tiffany gets brutally honest about her battles with trauma, addiction, perfectionism, and people-pleasing—and the turning points that led to her complete transformation.

It starts with one small step—one promise at a time—even (and especially) on the days you want to give up. 2. Victim Mindset Keeps You Stuck—Ownership Sets You Free Shifting from “Why me?” to “What did I learn, and what’s possible now?” helps you reclaim your power, process pain, and move forward. 3. Rewrite Your Story Each Morning Tiffany’s “declaration paragraph” exercise—a mix of journaling and affirmation—is a science-backed mindset tool that helps you speak to the woman you’re becoming, not just the one you’ve been. In This Conversation, We Cover: What it really looks like to hit “rock bottom”—and how to rise again How trauma and people-pleasing can manifest as addiction or self-sabotage The critical difference between openness and resistance in healing Tiffany’s go-to tools: power promises, non-negotiables, and morning routines Why reframing your “story” shifts your results in fitness, mindset, and mental health The role of physical movement and nutrition—and why they’re not the whole story Free resources to jumpstart your mindset, hormones, and healthy routines Listen now and take the next step toward feeling your best.

  • Why Most Diets Fail: Top Mistakes Damaging Your Gut Bacteria

    Why Most Diets Fail: Top Mistakes Damaging Your Gut Bacteria
    2025/06/30

    Episode Description:

    If you’re tired of dealing with bloating, fatigue, sugar cravings, or stubborn weight gain—this episode may be your turning point.

    Health journalist Natalie Tysdal sits down with Anu Simh, gut health expert and author of Flourish from Within, to reveal how your gut microbiome could be the missing link in your wellness journey. You’ll discover how simple, sustainable changes to your meals—and your mindset—can rebalance your gut, reduce inflammation, and help you feel truly good in your body again.

    Want to jumpstart your gut healing journey? Download Natalie’s FREE Gut Reset Plan here.

    What You'll Learn:

    • Why many women overlook the gut’s role in mood, cravings, and weight gain

    • How processed foods quietly disrupt gut health and immunity

    • The power of gut diversity—and how to build it without a complicated plan

    • Real-life food swaps for busy women and families (even picky eaters)

    • Why mindset and food culture matter more than rigid rules

    Key Takeaways:

    • Gut Diversity Is Key: Restrictive diets and lack of variety damage your microbiome. A colorful, plant-rich plate helps your gut and your body thrive.

    • Processed Foods Are Sabotaging You: Ultra-processed foods spike cravings and disrupt your metabolism. Whole foods help restore balance.

    • Small Changes = Big Results: You don’t have to do it all. Start by adding more fiber, color, and protein to your meals for one week—and see the difference.

      • Healing is a Journey, Not a Quick Fix

        From self-compassion to daily routines (like gratitude, therapy, and small self-care rituals), the road to wellness is ongoing—and every step counts.
