    How to Dress (and Care For) Yourself on a Bad Body Image Day || with Jordana Edelstein

    What if you don't have to love your body to feel good in it? In this episode, I sit down with body image and food relationship coach Jordana Edelstein to talk about how to stop waiting for your body to change before you start living well in it. Jordana shares her deeply personal journey through two decades of body shame and disordered eating, and how she now helps women break the cycle of chasing a "smaller body" that was never going to be the answer. We dig into why how you feel about your body and what you eat are inextricably linked, why getting dressed with intention is one of the most powerful tools you have on a bad body image day, and how to quiet the inner mean girl who shows up when you're standing in your closet picking apart everything you see. If you've ever had a bad body image day -- and who hasn't -- this conversation will give you surprisingly simple, practical ways to care for yourself, starting with what you put on tomorrow morning.

    Comparing Yourself to Everyone? Try This Self-Compassion Reset || H&K with Crystalee Beck

    Ever feel like everyone else is on a rocket ship while you’re pedaling a tricycle? Crystalee Beck, founder of Comma Copywriters and The Mama Ladder, shares how she stopped comparing herself to other women after a layoff left her family’s finances and marriage at a low point. She decided to choose what she wanted her life to feel like instead of measuring herself against someone else’s pace. If you’ve been wondering how to be happier without having it all figured out, this is a warm reminder that self-compassion is a real tool for personal growth and development, and one of the kindest forms of self-care for mothers.

    I found Mistakes in My Book: Why Not Trying is the Biggest Mistake of All || Growth Spurt

    In this Growth Spurt, I share a moment from narrating my audiobook for Sticky Habits when I spotted small errors that survived countless rounds of editing. Spiraling into self-doubt, I had to remind myself that even masterpieces like Harry Potter and Oppenheimer aren't perfect — and that mistakes aren't just unavoidable, they're a necessary part of the path. The only way to avoid mistakes is by not trying, and that's the biggest mistake of all.  ⁠Order Sticky Habits⁠ (now available as an audiobook!)

    Why You Keep Reaching for Your Phone (and What to Do Instead) || with Ruby Ryba

    How many times have you caught yourself scrolling and immediately thought, "Oh no, I did it again. I seriously need more self-control"? I've done this too. We all do. But what if scrolling isn't proof that you lack discipline? In this episode, I talk with Ruby Ryba, author of How to Stop Scrolling, about a much more compassionate way to use our phones less. Instead of shaming ourselves or swearing off our phones entirely, Ruby teaches us to get curious about what our scrolling is really giving us, design our lives so our phones have less power over us, and fill that reclaimed space with things that actually meet our needs. Because the goal isn't just to spend less time on your phone—it's to spend more time actually living the life you choose. Ruby's website, book Order Sticky Habits (now available as an audiobook!)

    Self-Compassion for the Hustle Habit || H&K with Jessica Hottel

    Ever wonder why you feel like you have to hustle for everything, or why one critical comment can undo a whole good day? In this clip, Jessica Hottel gets honest about growing up in survival mode and how those early beliefs followed her into adulthood: the approval-chasing, the trouble resting, and the shutting down when she felt triggered. If you're a mom trying to figure out how to be happier without adding one more thing to your to-do list, this one's for you. Jessica talks about why the stories we carry about ourselves start so early, and why getting curious about where they began is a powerful piece of personal development. It's not self improvement in the fix-yourself sense. It's about understanding the daily habits and reactions you built to protect yourself, and meeting them with kindness instead of criticism. That's where self-compassion comes in. When you can see why you hustle, why you go quiet, or why "good enough" feels so out of reach, it gets easier to stop being a perfectionist and start treating yourself the way you'd treat a friend. Self care for mothers isn't only bubble baths and naps (though we're pro-nap). It's also giving yourself permission to understand why you are the way you are. Small shifts like that are what personal growth and development actually looks like, and they're often how to feel happy on an ordinary day, not just in the big moments.

    You Can Never “Make Time” for Everything Good and Worthy || Growth Spurt

    After months of interviews for my book Sticky Habits, one question kept coming up: "How do you make time for self-care habits?" And it stopped me in my tracks. We love to say "just make time," but honestly? I think that reeks of toxic positivity. I spent a year and a half waking up at 5:00 AM to write my book while walking, doing strength training, and running on fumes — and it nearly broke me. You will never make time for everything — need, good, or worthy — and that's not just okay, it's the whole point. So let's talk about what it really means to make time for what matters, without losing yourself in the process. Order Sticky Habits (now available as an audiobook!)

    Think You’re Bad at Decorating? How to Find Your Design Style and Create a Home You Love || with Dani Watson

    Have you ever looked around your home and thought, "I'm just bad at this"? I've been there too — wrong-size rugs, bad paint colors, the works. In this episode, I talk with interior decorating educator Dani Watson about why perfectionism — not lack of talent — is what really keeps us stuck. Dani shares her own messy learning journey and teaches us that decorating is a skill anyone can build. We dig into her four principles for confident decorating: defining your personal aesthetic, choosing how you want your home to feel, telling your family's story through meaningful pieces, and working within your budget. Dani also makes a beautiful case for "slow decorating" — the idea that a home with soul can't be bought in a weekend, but is curated over time. If you've been waiting for permission to stop chasing Pinterest perfection and start enjoying the process, this one's for you. Dani's Instagram, website, design guide Order Sticky Habits!

    How to Turn Your Passion Into Your Life's Work (Start Small, Think Big) || H&K with Tina Anderson

    Somewhere between the to-do lists and the school pickups, a lot of us lose track of the thing that used to light us up. In this clip, Just Thrive founder Tina Anderson talks about what it looks like to find that spark again and decide whether it's a hobby you love or something you could turn into your life's work. Tina shares her simple test for telling the difference: if you can figure out how your passion serves people, you can probably monetize it. She also explains why the best investment you can make isn't the stock market, it's yourself. Her advice is to take a class, learn a skill, and borrow ideas from people who've already done it. It's personal development in its most practical form, and you don't have to have it all figured out to begin. Her big takeaway is to start small but think big, and that's an easy permission slip to take with you.
