  • SELF-IMPROVEMENT

Hosted by Suzanne Culberg, aka The Nope Coach, this podcast is for recovering people-pleasers who are tired of putting themselves last to keep the peace. These conversations explore self-abandonment, boundaries, guilt, burnout, and what it actually looks like to choose yourself without performing, fixing, or apologising. No fluff. No filters. No overproduced nonsense. Just real talk, pattern-spotting, and the occasional F-bomb, because life is too short to abandon yourself. This is not a motivation podcast. There are no five-step frameworks or hustle hacks. Instead, you'll hear honest reflections that help you notice where you're saying yes when your body is saying no. If you're done being easy to be around and ready to be easier to live inside, you're in the right place. For ongoing support and real-time practice, Suzanne's community The Done Era is where this work continues. Want to be a guest on The Nope Coach?

    In this episode I'm joined by Eve Hall and we talk about where people pleasing actually starts and how early messages shape your ability to say no later in life.

    Introducing How to Talk About Eating Disorders with Our Kids | Amanda Sobhy & Jessica Scheer | A Kids Co. from Raising Us: A Parenting Podcast. Follow the show: Raising Us: A Parenting Podcast Eating disorders in kids are more common than parents realize, but many still question how to spot early warning signs, talk about healthy habits and body image, and support with compassion. Host Elise Hu sits with professional squash champion Amanda Sobhy and National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) CEO Jessica Scheer to unpack the realities of eating disorders and disordered eating in children and teens.  Amanda shares her personal journey navigating bulimia as a high-performing college athlete, and how early messages about body image and food shaped her relationship with both. Amanda emphasizes the challenge of accepting help, the importance of accepting it, and how parents can help build a community around their child that supports balance, empathy, and open communication. Later, Jessica Scheer offers expert, practical guidance for parents: how to spot subtle red flags, when to seek professional support, and how to start conversations without shame or fear. She also shares how parents can model a healthier relationship with food and body image — starting with their own beliefs and behaviors. Key Takeaways: Surround yourself with a community that encourages balance, moderation, and empathy. Hold space for your child to come to you with questions, conversation, or help. Approach conversations about disordered eating with love, care, and compassion. Model a healthy relationship with food for your children by working through your own biases. Take note of key behaviors or effects that might indicate someone is struggling with an eating disorder. ⏱️ Timestamps: Keep the conversation going at home with our FREE Conversation Kit companion guide: https://delivery.shopifyapps.com/-/38ab486df8738219/9262fd8440adfe72 Learn more from Amanda Sobhy: https://www.instagram.com/asobhy93 Learn more from Jessica Scheer and the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA): https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/ New episodes every Tuesday: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AKidsCo Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/raising-us-a-parenting-podcast/id1552286967 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2bIRVxM8hbriNxydkSv6VG Or wherever you get your podcasts. 🔗 START HERE 📌 Get free weekly conversation kits: https://akidsco.com/pages/raising-us 📌 Browse A Kids Co. books that pair with episodes: https://akidsco.com 📌 Follow Elise Hu: https://www.instagram.com/elisewho ABOUT THE SHOW Raising Us | Parenting Podcast for Kids, Tweens, & Conscious Caregivers Award-winning journalist Elise Hu (TED Talks Daily, Forever35) hosts Raising Us, a parenting podcast for grownups raising Big-Question Kids.

    Do The Thing (Even When You Don't Feel Like It)

    Most people don't have a knowledge problem. They have a follow-through problem. In this episode, I'm calling out the ways we avoid doing what we already know…overthinking, over-planning, and hiding in "learning mode." If you've been circling something for weeks, this is your nudge. Pick one thing. Decide what done looks like. Then do it. Messy counts. Showing up counts. Want help with that? I've created Do The Thing A simple co-working space where you actually follow through.

    The Shower That Changed Everything with Stephanie Peirolo

    Join The Done Era: https://www.skool.com/the-done-era/about  If this resonated, don't just listen. Come inside and be part of the conversation. What if the beliefs shaping your life… aren't actually yours? In this episode I'm joined by writer and decision-making coach Stephanie Polo, and we dive straight into one of the most unexpected stories I've ever heard: the time she showered naked with 50 strangers in the woods… and how that moment completely changed the way she saw her body and belonging. From there the conversation opens up into something much bigger. We talk about the cultural narratives many of us inherit without questioning them. Stories about success, about bodies, about parenting, about careers, about what we're "supposed" to want. Because once you start noticing those stories, you realise something important. You don't actually have to keep living them. This conversation explores how to interrogate those inherited narratives, reconnect with your own values, and make decisions that actually align with the life you want to live. In This Episode We Talk About How diet culture shapes our beliefs about ourselves from a young age The difference between fitting in and belonging Why women are often conditioned to ignore their body's signals The powerful distinction between hurt vs harm How boundaries can hurt people's feelings without harming them Why over-functioning and "helping" can quietly become enabling The sunk cost trap (and why staying miserable isn't the solution) Why so many women struggle to say the words: "I want…" Find out more about Stephanie here: https://www.speirolo.com/ Find out more about Suzanne here: https://www.suzanneculberg.com/

    Building a Membership Without Burning Out with Deanna Seymour

    I'm joined by returning guest Deanna Seymour to talk about what it's actually like to run a membership. We're not talking about finding your niche or writing the perfect sales page. We're talking about what happens after you launch. The platform decisions. The pricing traps. The emotional rollercoaster. The churn. The awkward community moments. The burnout risk. Because memberships are not passive income, they're living, breathing ecosystems. We cover: Platform mistakes to avoid, especially when you're just starting. Why low-ticket pricing isn't automatically easier to sell. The emotional reality of people joining and leaving. Balancing running the community with actually growing it. Why doing more inside the membership can backfire. How to stop taking churn personally. Experimenting without burning yourself out. We both share lessons learned the hard way, including over-delivering, over-building, over-expecting, and underestimating the emotional load of community leadership. If you're thinking about starting a membership, already running one, or quietly wondering why yours feels heavier than you expected, this conversation will land. You're not failing. It's just more nuanced than the internet makes it look. Thinking about starting your own Skool community? Create your own Skool here (affiliate link). Curious about The Done Era?

    Stop Changing the Goal

    Join The Done Era: https://www.skool.com/the-done-era/about  If this resonated, don't just listen. Come inside and be part of the conversation. How many times have you decided what you want, only to quietly change your mind a few days later? In this episode, Suzanne unpacks the real reason so many smart, capable humans stall out. It's rarely a lack of ideas or motivation. It's the constant resetting. The pivoting. The "new plan" rush that interrupts momentum before it ever has a chance to build. If you've ever: Started something strong and lost steam. Switched strategies mid-way through. Talked yourself out of a goal because it got uncomfortable. Fallen for bright shiny object syndrome. This episode is your mirror. Suzanne explores the difference between wanting and deciding, why repetition matters more than intensity, and how to stop reopening the negotiation with yourself every time the messy middle feels awkward. You don't need a new goal. You need to stop changing the one you already chose. If you want structure and community while you practise this, The Done Era is where we do that work together.

    The first time you learned your comfort didn't matter

    What if some of your people-pleasing patterns didn't start in adulthood but on the school oval? In this episode, I reflect on something many of us experienced but rarely question, the early environments that quietly taught us belonging mattered more than comfort. Inside this episode I discuss: The subtle conditioning that teaches us discomfort is the price of belonging. Why forced participation builds shame, while chosen discomfort builds confidence. How early environments shape our relationship with visibility. The survival strategies many capable adults are still running. Why courage is not always pushing harder, sometimes it is stepping off the track. If this episode stirred something in you, these are exactly the kinds of conversations we have inside The Done Era. It's a space for people who are done abandoning themselves and ready to choose differently. Not ready for a community? My newsletter is where I share the deeper thoughts, behind-the-scenes honesty, and the stuff I don't always say out loud.

    The passive income lie (and what actually sustains a business)

    Passive income gets sold as the ultimate business dream. Make money while you sleep. Predictable months. Freedom. But what if recurring revenue is not actually passive? In this episode, I'm talking about the crucial difference between having an audience and having paying clients, why a successful launch does not always mean you should build a membership, and the emotional reality of holding ongoing containers. This is not financial advice. It is grounded perspective for people who want to build businesses that support their lives instead of quietly consuming them. If you're tired of the laptop lifestyle narrative and craving something more sustainable, this conversation is for you. If you want the deeper, behind-the-scenes layer, I share real numbers, real decisions, and the unfiltered realities of running a membership inside the Done Diaries, available in the Premium tier of The Done Era. Not ready for a community? My newsletter is where I share the deeper thoughts, behind-the-scenes honesty, and the stuff I don't always say out loud.
