"I just want to feel good in my body this summer." Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

What does that really mean? And more importantly, does it always have to involve changing the way you look? In this episode, we explore this through personal stories, struggles, and redefinitions of what it truly means to feel good in your body. We peel back the layers of societal expectations, internalized body shame, and toxic summer body narratives.

Whether you're dealing with physical discomfort, emotional burnout, or that persistent inner critic telling you you "need to lose 15 pounds," this episode will help you reframe what feeling good actually looks like — on your own terms.

In this episode:

• What it really means to "feel good in your body"
• Why body confidence doesn’t require body change
• How diet culture and discomfort are tied together
• The power of calling out judgment in others (and ourselves)
• Replacing negative self-talk with facts and self-compassion
• Movement and nourishment as tools for feeling better
• The game-changing question: What would you do if changing your body wasn’t an option?

If your life were a recipe, these three ingredients would be non-negotiable.

In this episode, Maria, a mental health therapist, shares the three foundational elements that every woman needs to thrive — self-worth, self-esteem, and self-love — and explains how a lack of these essential ingredients shows up in our daily lives through burnout, people-pleasing, self-doubt, and overgiving.

Together, we explore what each of these concepts really means, how to recognize where you might be running low, and how to start rebuilding your internal foundation, not for others, but for you.

In this episode:

• The difference between self-worth, self-esteem, and self-love — and why all three matter
• How low self-esteem shows up subtly (and not-so-subtly) in your career, relationships, and health
• Real-life stories that reveal what happens when you don’t know your worth
• Why women often resist rest, joy, and slowing down (and how to change that)
• How to audit your relationships and protect your energy
• The game-changing mindset of treating yourself like someone you're dating

This week’s episode dives into a topic that’s often considered taboo — but is incredibly important: alcohol.

Whether you're sober, a social drinker, or simply questioning your relationship with alcohol, this episode will meet you with compassion, curiosity, and zero judgment. We're joined by Maureen Benkovich aka the “Sober Fit Chick”, alcohol freedom coach, speaker, author, and former personal trainer, to talk about what it means to explore alcohol use, especially as women navigating trauma, motherhood, wellness, and identity.

Maureen shares her deeply personal journey with binge drinking, infertility, and how she found her way to freedom — and now helps others do the same.

TW: this conversation includes talk of infertility and pregnancy loss.

In this episode:

• The gray area of alcohol use and why it's more common than you think
• How alcohol is often used to numb emotions, anxiety, and social discomfort
• Why removing alcohol can feel like losing part of your identity
• The shame, stigma, and social pressure that surround not drinking
• How curiosity — not judgment — can be the first step to change
• Practical tools to start evaluating your relationship with alcohol
• What “sitting in the suck” means and how to stay with your emotions
