    Embracing Change

    Listen in as I share my journey of self-discovery and evolution in my coaching business. Starting off as a nutrition consultant, I realized the impact I could make by combining my nutrition expertise with body image and mindset coaching. However, it wasn't all smooth sailing - despite launching successful programs and witnessing incredible transformations in my clients, I hit a point of resistance. But with the guidance of a business coach, I learned a valuable lesson: sometimes, it’s okay to step back, to not be in constant production mode, and simply breathe.  Pivoting in a business can be challenging, but it is often a necessary part of growth. After two years of steadfastly holding on to my identity as a Body and Nutrition Empowerment Coach, I've begun to embrace a new direction. I'll reveal how initial successes gave way to a gnawing resistance, and how it forced me to reassess my path, understand the power of self-permission, and embrace my true identity. I am filled with gratitude for the unfolding journey and eagerly anticipate where this new path will lead. I hope you'll join me as I continue to unearth new insights and grow, both personally and professionally.

    Embracing Self-Worth and Squirting on Haters with Hutch Knapp

    In this episode, I got a chance to chat with my friend, Hutch, a multi-disciplinary artist based in Oakland. Hutch opened up about their journey in art and music, which started at Burning Man and continued with their studies in sculpture at the San Francisco Art Institute. Hutch shares the empowering message behind their recently released music video, I'm Hutchtastic, which is all about standing up to haters and embracing self-worth. We discussed the importance of dismantling systems of oppression and societal pressures to conform. Hutch shared insights from books like The Body Is Not An Apology by Sonya Renee Taylor and You Have the Right to Remain Fat by Virgie Tovar, which can help individuals understand how fatphobia is a tool used by the patriarchy to suppress women and fems. Join us as we chat about the power of self-love and the importance of embracing our own unique journeys, reminding ourselves and our listeners that we are powerful and capable of doing great things.

    Blending Celebrity Parodies and Activism with Lisa Timmons

    In this episode, I sat down with Lisa Timmons, a writer in the entertainment industry and creator of hilarious celebrity parody lip dubs. We discuss her journey from pursuing her dream of writing for television and film to finding a way to merge her activism with her creative aspirations during the pandemic. We peel back the layers on the powerful influence of celebrity culture and the illusion of Hollywood and television. Lisa shares her insights on the divide between content creators and consumers, as well as how the industry can manipulate our thoughts and beliefs. In a world where independent creators often struggle to find their footing, Lisa's journey is a testament to the power of social media platforms like Instagram. Through her authentic voice, sharp wit, and signature fart noises, she's not only carved a unique path for herself but has also inspired countless others to do the same.
