    Wedding updates and People pleasing

    Have you ever said “yes” when every part of you wanted to say “NO”? Maybe you avoid conflict, stay quiet to keep everyone happy, or feel guilty the second you set a boundary. Welcome to people pleasing: where everyone gets a vote in your life except you. Very convenient. In this video, I’m breaking down how people pleasing can keep you stuck, why setting boundaries can feel so uncomfortable, and what it actually means to become more confident. Confidence is not being loud, rude, or completely fearless. It is trusting yourself enough to speak honestly, stand up for what matters, and act with integrity—even when someone else does not love your choice. We’ll talk about how to: • Say no without writing a five-page apology • Set clear boundaries • Stop changing yourself to avoid conflict • Speak with more confidence and conviction • Handle guilt when someone is disappointed • Make choices based on your values—not everyone else’s mood You do not need to become cold or stop caring about people. The goal is to care about others without abandoning yourself in the process. Comment below: What is one boundary you want to get better at setting? Subscribe for more honest conversations about confidence, body image, identity, mental fitness, and learning to take up space. #PeoplePleasing #Confidence #SettingBoundaries #SelfWorth #PersonalGrowth #MentalFitness

    Hustle Culture Is Why You Lost Your Period

    Hustle culture doesn't just make you tired. It shuts down your reproductive system. Your brain's stress axis and your reproductive axis share a control room — the hypothalamus. When you're chronically under-fueled and over-scheduled, your body slows the hormone signals that drive ovulation, because reproduction is expensive and your body thinks you're in a famine. That's how you end up with a missing period, a 9-day luteal phase, wired-and-tired nights, hair shedding, and zero libido — while doing everything "right." In this episode we get into what's actually happening physiologically, the limiting beliefs that keep high-achieving women stuck in the grind, and how to structure your weeks, months, and quarters so you can chase big goals without paying for it with your hormones.

    The Identity Shift Nobody Warns You About in Period Recovery

    If you're in hypothalamic amenorrhea or RED-S recovery, the hardest part usually isn't the food or the rest days — it's who you become without them. In this episode I break down how habits build identity, why period recovery threatens the self-image you've spent years earning, and how to keep the discipline and drive that make you you while changing the behaviors that stopped your cycle. We cover the fear underneath "I'll gain weight," why recovery takes more discipline than restriction, and how to shift your identity without giving it up. 📲 FREE Resources: →  Macro Calculator: https://skilled-leader-5868.kit.com/01d3d829fc Stop Binge Eating Ebook: https://skilled-leader-5868.kit.com/c0f46c777e The SAFE Method | How to Finally Silence Food Thoughts 🎙️ Podcast: https://youtube.com/@freshandfiredup?si=W56KkRFX73nZ1sm3 💻  Work with me 1:1: https://3atgkmamtaj.typeform.com/to/p8NaADUl 📩 Contact: hailee@youngandwyld.com IG: Hailee_fitblog and @dremilymarshall

    Everything You Know About Your Pelvic Floor Is Wrong (ft. Dr. Karah Charette)

    Peeing when you sneeze. Pain with sxx. Constant tension you can't stretch away. You've been told it's normal — or worse, to "just do your Kegels." In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Karah Charette, DPT, founder of Bodyful Physical Therapy, a somatic, trauma-sensitive pelvic floor physical therapist who's on a mission to change how women understand this ignored part of their body. We get into why Kegels are often the wrong answer, how chronic stress and years of dieting and over-training show up as a clenched pelvic floor, the nervous system's role in chronic pelvic pain, and what your body might be trying to tell you through symptoms you've learned to live with. In this episode, we cover: The sneaky signs of pelvic floor dysfunction most women dismissWhy a "tight" pelvic floor is often the real problem (not a weak one)How fight-or-flight mode, under-eating, and over-exercising affect your pelvic floor and hormonesWhat's really behind painful s3x — and why healing is possibleHow your pelvic floor changes across your cycle, postpartum, and into perimenopauseSimple somatic and breathwork tools you can start todayWhat actually happens at a pelvic floor PT appointment (and how to find a good one) If you've ever felt dismissed, embarrassed, or confused about what's going on "down there" — this conversation is the permission slip you didn't know you needed.
