The Inner Edit Podcast

Join me, Christie Rocha, on my mission to debunk the misconceptions and stigmas around mental health and therapy. Let’s normalize working on our mental health and seeking help when needed. We’ve all heard of self-care, self-help, and self-love but do you often wonder how to actually make it all happen? I do! You’ll hear strategy-based conversations with professionals as well as inspiring and validating stories from women who are just like you and me. Think of this podcast as the weekly therapy sessions you didn’t know you needed...with a dash of sass, a lot of vulnerability, and me, relentlessly asking “but how?”

[8:05] Elizabeth and Christie discuss how Instagram has changed, along with how (and why) Elizabeth continues to use the platform in ways that align with her values. [18:24] Christie has an AHA moment, realizing that Instagram began to lose its appeal for her when it became something she “should” do. [25:45] Christie asks Elizabeth her thoughts on the pressure put on creators with large platforms to take a stance on every issue in the world.

[41:33] Christie asks Tomi about how she responds to current events with her audience. Christie Rocha's and Elizabeth Earnshaw's Ah-Ha Moments “For years, I have always enjoyed [Instagram]. I've always liked it. And I think when it shifted to a ‘you should do this’ is when it starts feeling like ‘ugh’.” – Christie Rocha “Once it became the obligation to say things a specific way…that obligation took the joy away…I'm only going to [post] now when I feel like it's something I really want to say or I feel confident about it, and it's aligned with what feels good. And I'm really trying not to look at metrics.” – Elizabeth Earnshaw   “[As a therapist], any [public] stance that you take can be read by your client…and that can limit the way they talk to you.” – Elizabeth Earnshaw   “It's much more powerful to talk about what you believe instead of what you don't believe.” – Elizabeth Earnshaw More About Elizabeth Earnshaw Elizabeth Earnshaw is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Certified Gottman Therapist, Clinical Fellow of the AAMFT, and the author of I Want This To Work: An Inclusive Guide to Navigating the Most Difficult Relationship Issues We Face in The Modern Age".

Breathwork is a growing outlet for self-care and I don’t know about you, but I’m not too familiar with it. Chelsea shares what breathwork is, practicing it tangibly, and its benefits.

Step away for a second. Do a task that gets you out of your head, so you can focus on the big picture.” - Chelsea Connors. “Breathwork is a way to intentionally create an intense experience in the mind that creates new neural pathways through the intensity of your breath.” - Chelsea Connors.

    Jennifer Anderson: The Struggles and Responsibility of Growing a Platform to 2 Million Followers

    Today With Jennifer Anderson: Today I’m with dietician Jennifer Anderson, creator of Kids Eat in Color, an educational resource helping families navigate picky eating and feeding children To say that Kids in Color is a success would be a major understatement. The page has 1.9 million followers, an astounding number that reflects the work and intention Jennifer has put into her platform every step of the way.  Today, Jennifer is here to tell the story of how she transitioned from working full-time and posting as a hobby to hosting arguably one of the most popular pages in the parenting space, along with her views on the responsibilities we hold as content creators and influencers in the public eye. Pick It Apart [0:14] Jennifer shares how she grew her platform from nothing to an amazing 1.9 million followers, eventually transitioning to running it full-time. [5:59] Jennifer recounts some of the struggles she faced and how she knew it was time to commit full-time to her platform. [18:58] Jennifer breaks down how the business brings money in and the steps she took to create that income. [28:58] Christie and Jennifer discuss how consuming content creation can be. [31:48] Jennifer shares her perspective on the choice to share children, or not share children, on social media. [38:54] Christie asks Jennifer how she cultivated such a thriving community. [44:12] Jennifer and Christie discuss the responsibility we have as creators to share accurate and non-judgmental information.  Christie Rocha's and Jennifer Anderson's Ah-Ha Moments “I am constantly reviewing the evidence and reading the research coming out every week. If at any point, I'm wrong, and certainly I have changed my position on things over time, I am more than happy to hear about it. I will acknowledge it, decide I will make a statement if I need to, I will change my position, and I will slowly shift over time.” -Jennifer “I’ve kind of just erred on not showing the kids until I'm really clear on how I want to show them. And I think that's ultimately what I'm getting from you is whatever you decide to do, just have the clarity and intention behind what you're doing.” -Christie More About Jennifer Anderson Jennifer Anderson is a mom of two, registered dietitian and has a masters of science in public health from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. In 2019, she founded Kids Eat in Color, a resource for families seeking evidence-based information and strategies on child nutrition and feeding.
