    158. Why You Don’t Need a Job Title to Be a Leader w/ Becky @beckyschmooke

    You don’t have to be at the summit to start leading. In this episode, I sit down with author and leadership coach Becky Schmooke to talk about healing, self-leadership, and what it really means to take control of your life. Becky shares her 20+ year journey with an eating disorder and how her recovery—alongside her work in Stoic philosophy—inspired her to write Choose the Handle That Holds. We talk about redefining leadership (hint: it’s not a job title), communicating clearly with your team and loved ones, and choosing the harder, healthier path—especially when it's uncomfortable. Whether you’re managing a team, navigating recovery, or just trying to show up more fully in your life, this episode will leave you thinking deeply—and laughing just as much.   Tune in to hear: Becky's eating disorder journey and how it shaped her leadership work The Stoic philosophy that helped her finally recover during COVID How to choose the “handle that holds” when life feels out of control The leadership myths that keep entrepreneurs stuck Tools for communicating better with your team, your partner, and yourself   Connect with Becky: Instagram: @beckyschmooke Website: https://www.beckyschmooke.com/ Order your copy of Choose the Handle That Holds   Connect with Deanna: Instagram: @dietitiandeanna and @online.entrepreneur.academy Want my help and strategies to have $30, $50 or $100K launches of your online program? Apply to OEA Scale

    157. it's not a dream job if it's costing you your mental health w/ Priya @priyasam

    Ready to ditch the “dream job” that’s draining your soul? In this episode, I sit down with former national TV anchor turned storytelling strategist Priya Sam to explore what happens when a role that looks perfect on paper starts chipping away at your confidence, mental health, and sense of purpose. Priya gets candid about the racism, sexism, and office politics that pushed her to walk away from the spotlight, the crisis-counseling that saved her sanity, and the bold framework she now uses to help women rewrite their own career narratives. If you’ve ever cried on the commute, questioned your worth, or wondered whether entrepreneurship might be your way out, this conversation is your permission slip to make a power move.   Tune in to hear: How Priya knew it was time to leave her “audacious” dream job—and why quitting wasn’t failure, but freedom The anxiety spiral that landed her in crisis counseling (and the simple steps that pulled her out) Priya’s CAPE framework for turning lived experience into a persuasive “power story” employers and clients can’t ignore Tactical tips for networking, selling your transferable skills, and negotiating a pivot—whether that’s into tech, entrepreneurship, or a fresh industry A reminder that your identity is bigger than your job title—and the first action step to reclaim it today   Connect with Priya: Instagram: @priyasam Website: https://priyasam.com/ Free Masterclass: https://priya-sam.mykajabi.com/the-power-story-playbook-masterclass   Connect with Deanna: Instagram: @dietitiandeanna and @online.entrepreneur.academy Want my help and strategies to have $30, $50 or $100K launches of your online program? Apply to OEA Scale

    151. Can you be weight-neutral and help people with weight loss? w/ Julie Dillon

    Have you ever felt like intuitive eating wasn’t built for your real-life challenges? You’re not alone. This week, I’m joined by registered dietitian, author, and longtime anti-diet advocate Julie Duffy Dillon to unpack how we can care for our health without falling into the trap of diet culture. Julie’s new book Find Your Food Voice goes beyond the basics of intuitive eating to address chronic conditions like PCOS, shifting body image, and the messy reality of staying grounded in a weight-obsessed world.   From her early days in clinical dietetics to becoming a leading voice in the weight-inclusive space, Julie shares her evolution—and her bold vision for what’s next. Julie brings honesty, insight, and a lot of heart to this conversation. Whether you’re a dietitian, someone navigating PCOS, or just trying to untangle your relationship with food, you won’t want to miss it.   In this episode, we explore: Why intuitive eating sometimes needs more nuance (especially for PCOS) What to do when clients want weight loss but also want to feel at peace with food How to advocate for yourself in the doctor’s office—especially when weight stigma gets in the way The role of GLP-1 medications and how to navigate them without abandoning your values Practical ways to raise kids who reject diet culture and build lasting body trust   Connect with Julie: Website: https://julieduffydillon.com/   Connect with Deanna: Instagram: @dietitiandeanna and @online.entrepreneur.academy Want my help and strategies to have $30, $50 or $100K launches of your online program? Apply to OEA Scale
