Dr. Tricia Pingel NMD

I'm Dr. Tricia Pingel NMD, a naturopathic physician with an unusual background - I started working as a professional fashion model when I was 9 months old. Between modeling and medicine, I learned to look perfect while completely losing myself in the process.

That's when I found my way back to myself through hip hop dance and discovered the power of authentic living. This show is for anyone tired of looking successful on the outside while barely holding it together on the inside.You'll hear my messy transformation stories, raw conversations with people who've stopped performing and started actually living, medical insights on stress and why your body keeps the score, real talk about surviving high-pressure work environments, and permission-giving moments that make you feel less alone. This is your permission slip to stop modeling burnout and start curating joy. New episodes every Tuesday.
