In this game-changing conversation, Dr. Jodi Richardson welcomes internationally acclaimed exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Dr. Stacy Sims. With her groundbreaking mantra that “women are not small men,” Stacy unpacks why the diet and fitness advice we’ve been given for decades is letting us down—and what to do instead.

Discover why eating more (not less) can improve your body composition, boost energy, reduce anxiety, and build the resilience you’ll need for the decades ahead. Learn how fueling first thing in the morning resets stress hormones, why strength training is non-negotiable, and how small, sustainable changes can transform your health, confidence, and wellbeing for life.

If you’ve ever felt stuck on the diet treadmill, frustrated by fatigue, or anxious about aging, this empowering episode will flip the script and set you free.

Have you ever looked at a yoga teacher or wellness business and thought, “They must have it all together”? Calm, grounded, cruising through life? Today’s conversation is a powerful reminder that what we see on the outside rarely tells the full story.

In this episode, Dr. Jodi Richardson is joined by Nova Rosaia, founder of Warrior One Yoga, whose thriving studios and international retreats have touched thousands of lives. Behind the success, Nova has walked her own path through anxiety, self-doubt, and burnout — and yoga became her lifeline.

Together, Jodi and Nova unpack:

• How yoga helps calm an anxious mind and nervous system

• The reality of running a wellness business while managing hidden anxiety

• Practical ways to ease the fear of stepping into your first yoga class

• Why perfectionism and burnout are common companions — and how to loosen their grip

• The transformative power of retreats, community, and simple breath-led practices

This honest and inspiring conversation will encourage you to breathe a little deeper, let go of the pressure to “do it all perfectly,” and discover how even small steps on the mat can ripple into big shifts in life.

Why do we keep putting things off — even when they matter deeply to us? In this follow-up episode, psychologist and author Dr Patricia Zurita Ona returns to share the second half of her powerful framework for understanding anxious, overwhelmed, perfectionistic procrastination.

Last week, Dr Patricia introduced the first 3 of 6 reflection questions to help us uncover what’s really driving our procrastination. This week, we continue the conversation with the final 3 — and they’re game-changing.

You’ll learn:

Why we keep making "cozy" feeling-based choices

What “compassionate accountability” looks like (and why it matters)

How to uncover the values you may be ignoring when you procrastinate

What to do next — including how to gently map your own habits and begin making real, sustainable change

This is not about productivity hacks or quick fixes. It’s a beautifully compassionate and practical episode for anyone who wants to stop feeling stuck and start living with more intention and purpose.

🧠 Based on Dr Patricia's brilliant new book, The ACT Workbook for the Anxious Procrastinator, available now on Amazon.
