Hi and thanks for joining me! I am a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Life Coach. What does that mean? I help you manage your mind so you live a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. I help overwhelmed, stressed, and busy women live a life they love. Not just while on vacation when all the stars align, but every single day. I teach how to use emotional intelligence, the 5 pillars of wellness, and mindfulness tools to bring inner calm to our days. Consider this podcast a place to come to feel supported, loved, understood, and where you can learn specific tools and strategies to live this one, precious life we’re given. We are all on this planet at the same time for a reason and I invite you to join me in this journey. I will be podcasting every week with the intent to remind you that you are part of this supportive community and that you matter. I am grateful you’re listening and am rooting for you each and every day. Learn more at www.SMBwell.com or Instagram @4smbwellness
In this week's episode, I'm joined by friendship expert, ADHD coach, and author Caroline Maguire to talk about the friendship skills most of us were never taught.
We explore how past relational wounds, people-pleasing, fear of rejection, and even being easily distracted can impact our ability to build and maintain meaningful friendships. Caroline shares practical tools to help us stop performing for connection and start creating relationships that feel more genuine, supportive, and fulfilling.
This was a super fun conversation (we found out she's living next to the small town I grew up in - I literally haven't met anyone who knew of my town since I was 18!). Plus the things we dove into were great!
Listen in to hear:
- How past friendship experiences may still be shaping your relationships today
- Why some people struggle to maintain friendships even when they deeply care
- The hidden role of rejection sensitivity and overthinking
- How people-pleasing and masking can get in the way of authentic connection
- Practical ways to deepen friendships during busy seasons of life
- What belonging actually feels like and how to create more of it
Friendship isn't something we're supposed to know how to do. Like any skill, it can be learned, practiced, and strengthened.
I loved this conversation with Caroline and can't wait for you to listen.

Warrior, when was the last time you asked yourself what you want?
Not what your kids need. Not what your partner wants. Not what needs fixing. Not what everyone else expects of you.
What do you want?
For many of us, especially moms, focusing on everyone else starts as healthy and necessary. When our kids are little, they need us to prioritize their needs. And, as they grow, many of us never make the shift back. We keep organizing our lives around everyone else's wants, feelings, and goals while losing touch with our own.
Then one day we wake up feeling restless, resentful, or like something is missing.
In this episode, I'm talking about the healthy transition from considering and prioritizing their needs first to considering your needs also. It's not selfish. In fact, I've seen it be so harmful to family units when moms don't make this change that I argue it's selfish not to.
Join me in this gentle, supportive episode to learn:
- Why so many midlife women struggle to answer the question, "What do I want?"
- How over-responsibility and people-pleasing disconnect us from ourselves
- Why your kids benefit when you reconnect with your own dreams and desires
- How a simple Life List can help you rediscover what lights you up
- Why it's never too late, and this is the perfect day to start.
I can't wait for you to listen in. You have this one precious life, and what I find is that so many women support others in reaching their dreams or paying attention to their goals while whittling away their own time here living their lives.
You matter.
Let me help you rediscover you and your spark!
First step: listen in!
Second, join me and let's make our LIFE LIST! https://smbwell.com/lifelist
I can't wait to help you turn up the volume so you can hear the wisdom that's been inside you all along.

How do we raise emotionally intelligent kids?
It's not what our instinct tells us!
It's not by preventing them from having big feelings or to try to get them to think positively or see "the bright side".
It's also not to expect them to not have emotions or to think that our big feeling kid is doing something wrong that needs to be fixed.
Nope!
And yet, that's what most of us were taught (for sure me!) and so that's how we parent until we learn differently.
That's what this week and my mission is all about. I teach the emotional intelligence skills to adults so that they can parent from emotional regulation and raise emotionally intelligent kids.
Click play on this episode of the Love Your Life Show to learn:
- The two foundational building blocks of emotional intelligence
- Where feelings actually come from
- Why trying to fix your child's emotions often backfires
- How to teach your child to process feelings in a healthy way
- The simple three-step process: Name It, Describe It, Feel It
- Why emotional intelligence requires both support and boundaries
- How learning about emotional intelligence with a surfing metaphor helped me long before I lived by the beach in Australia!
If you've ever found yourself saying, "Don't be sad," "It'll be okay," or "Just think about it differently," this episode will help you approach your child's emotions in a completely new way.
Because emotionally intelligent kids aren't kids who never have big feelings.
They're kids who learn that feelings are safe, normal, and something they can move through.
One parent at a time. Thanks for being that parent and listening to episodes like this. 🩷

What if one of the number one skills for feeling calmer, more confident, and more in control of your life was something you were never taught?
If you're a genX, boomer, or early millennial, chances are…you weren't!
Which is why, for this episode of the Love Your Life Show, I'm doing a masterclass on emotional maturity.
Many of us grew up believing we were responsible for other people's feelings. We learned to keep the peace, make others happy, and avoid upsetting anyone around us. While those habits may have earned us praise by parents and friends, they eat away at your self concept and confidence. They exhaust us. Further, they lead to us feeling deeply lonely and often misunderstood.
Think about it - if we believe as we're taught that "we're good if we do what they want", we disconnect from ourselves and our inner knowing while overly focusing on managing everyone else's emotions.
And guess what, when we feel responsible for other people's feelings and moods, we are highly influenced by others' moods.
We might feel like we're walking on eggshells or always waiting to see what he or she will be thinking and feeling.
It's a very anxiety-ridden and out-of-control feeling.
I know, because I lived 4 decades like this.
Which is why I'm thrilled to bring you this masterclass teaching on emotional maturity.
I have found that it's the secret to feeling more confident and in control of your life. I really hope you'll listen in.
Because goodness knows - those teenagers are going to be moody. Those husbands are going to be grumpy. Those moms are going to be needy… In this episode, you'll learn:
- What emotional maturity actually is (and why it has very little to do with age)
- The three foundational skills that make up emotional maturity
- Why other people's moods can feel so overwhelming
- How to stay connected to yourself when someone else is upset, disappointed, or frustrated
- The emotional maturity gap many Gen X women were never taught to close
If you've ever found yourself worrying about everyone else, taking responsibility for other people's feelings, or feeling completely thrown off by someone else's reaction, this episode is for you.

Re-airing this one because your messages told me you needed it.
Here's the part of parenting nobody prepares you for. If you do your job well, you raise humans who don't need you anymore. That's the goal. And it can feel brutal.
What I've learned, and what I teach, is that we don't actually want them to need us. We want them to want us. And that shift changes everything.
This episode covers the 3 jobs that set you up for exactly that, whether your kids are still home, halfway out, or fully launched.

This week's episode brings you two great things!
First , an awesome conversation with an Aussie! I figure you might want to just chill out this week and this is the perfect convo to pop in your ears as you go for a walk. Enjoy!
Second, the things we talk about and the honesty we share with each other will help you feel less stress, avoidance, or discomfort around money.
How do I know? Because this is a re-air of an episode I did back in Covid and since then (and practicing the things she shares), my feelings about money are sooo different.
This was a listener favorite back then and I trust you will get exactly what you need as you relisten (or listen for the first time) this week.
Enjoy dear one!

For the woman who feels responsible for everyone and everything: This episode will help so much!!! Do you ever look at other women relaxing on a porch, laughing with their family, or their posts on social media… and wonder why things feel so much heavier for you? You're not alone! I felt this way too! Everything felt so heavy and serious. Many of us GenX women were raised to be good girls and taught incorrect messages about emotional intelligence - like we were responsible for other people's feelings. Which is why we are great at reading the room, can be perfect little people-pleasers, and are really good at carrying the emotional load for everyone else. There's nothing wrong with you, warrior! We were just trained to be useful, responsible, and selfless above all else. If at the end of the day, we've done everything perfectly and have taken care of everyone else's needs and desires, well then, and only then, could we put our feet up. No wonder life can feel heavy! Well, click play! Because I help you let go of that hypervigilance and over-responsibility so you can learn to relax and truly exhale. You'll leave with two simple steps to start feeling lighter right now - I do them and promise you they work. I can't wait for you to listen in.

When doing all the right things still feels hard 😵💫
Have you ever thought, I've done so much work on myself. Why does this still get to me?
On this walk-and-talk episode, I'm opening up about marriage, growth, and the ongoing practice of letting go of control.
I share how these patterns still surface in my own life and why that doesn't mean you're failing.
If you're navigating tension with a partner, worry about a teen, or the emotional pull of an adult child, this conversation will offer support, perspective, and a gentler way to think about relationships.
You're never as alone as you think, dear warrior listener!

Does anyone else sometimes feel like the only way they feel calm is if they know everything and have a say in all the things? Or that if you don't stay on top of things, those things will fall apart!
And if you don't remind, manage, anticipate, and fix… things won't get done?
Great news warrior - you are not alone!
Even better news?
You don't have to feel this way.
In this episode, I'm talking about what it really means to be "the one who holds it all together" and why so many of us feel stuck in that role. If you're tired, resentful, feel like no one understands you, and are wondering why no one else seems to step up, this conversation is for you.
I'll walk you through why controlling and overfunctioning might feel helpful in the moment but actually creates more stress, disconnection, and anxiety over time. We'll look at how this pattern impacts your relationships with your partner, your kids, and even your aging parents, and why it can quietly chip away at your own mental and physical well-being.
Most importantly, I'll show you a different way!! One that works! I took off my "superwoman/I can do it all" cape, and my kids and I not only lived - we're doing waaaay better than we were when I was managing everything.
Listen in so I can help you start letting go of control without feeling like everything is going to fall apart and how to shift out of overfunctioning so the people around you can step up in their own lives.
This is the work of feeling calmer, lighter, and more connected. Not just for you, but for the people you love.
If you're ready to stop carrying it all and start living a life that actually feels good, press play.

Do you ever find yourself replaying conversations, second-guessing your decisions, or lying awake worrying about your teen's future?
That mental loop has a name. It's called rumination. And it's quietly draining your energy, increasing anxiety, and affecting how you show up in your life and your relationships.
If you catch yourself overanalyzing everything you said, everything they said, and what it all means… this episode will feel like a deep exhale.
Inside this episode, you'll learn:
- Why rumination feels productive but actually keeps you stuck
- The difference between helpful reflection and harmful mental loops
- How your thoughts create your feelings and your parenting experience
- A simple 3 step process to interrupt rumination in real time
- Practical ways to stop overthinking your teen's behavior and your own responses
- How to shift into calmer, more intentional parenting without changing your teen or spouse.
You don't have to keep living in your head.
There is another way to relate to your thoughts that brings more peace, more connection, and more confidence into your daily life.
Press play and let's start loosening the grip of rumination together.

What if this summer didn't leave you exhausted… but actually felt good?
So many midlife moms head into summer hoping it will be fun, relaxing, and connecting… and then find themselves overwhelmed, reactive, and running on empty by September.
In this episode, I'm showing you how to do it differently.
Not with a rigid plan. Not with more pressure. But with simple, intentional shifts that change how your days feel and in a way that helps the teens or young adults in your house.
We're talking about the mindset and structure that allow you to enjoy the "flow" of summer without feeling like you're being pulled under by it.
Inside this episode, I'll walk you through:
Why intentional living actually gives you more freedom (not less)
- The "canoe vs. current" shift that instantly changes your experience
- How to use my 5 wellness pillars (sleep, eating, exercise, relationships, and self-care) to guide your summer
- The power of 1% changes and how small tweaks create big emotional relief;
- Simple ways to reduce stress, feel more in control, and stay connected to yourself and your family
This is about creating a summer where you feel calm, energised, and present… not depleted and needing a reset.
A summer you don't need to recover from?
Yes. It's possible. And it starts here.

Do you feel like your mind automatically goes to worst-case scenarios, overthinking, or worrying about what might go wrong?
You're not broken. Your brain is just doing what it was designed to do.
But here's the problem… When your brain fixates on the negative, it can leave you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in patterns of stress, self-doubt, and overthinking.
In this episode of The Love Your Life Show, I'm teaching you:
- Why your brain has a natural negativity bias (and why you feel more anxious)
- How overthinking and worry become habits you didn't choose
- The surprising way you've been reinforcing stress without realizing it
- A simple 1 minute daily practice to retrain your brain (without forcing positivity)
This isn't about ignoring problems or pretending everything is fine.
It's about learning how to work with your brain instead of against it so you can feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control of your emotions.
If you're tired of:
- Constant worry about your kids, relationships, or future
- Replaying past mistakes or conversations
- Feeling stuck in anxiety or mental overwhelm
This episode will give you a powerful starting point.
Because the truth is… You don't need more time, more effort, or more willpower.
You just need a new way to use your brain.
Press play and learn the 1 minute practice that can start changing how you feel today.

Your college kid is coming home… and you want it to go well. You're excited to see them. You've missed them. You can't wait to hug them, cook for them, and have them back in your house again.
But here's the thing most parents don't realize.
The child who left for college is not exactly the same kid coming home. And your home is not the same place they left either.
This is a brand new stage of parenting.
In this episode, I'm sharing two simple but powerful things every parent should think about before their college student comes home for break. When you understand these dynamics, you can avoid unnecessary conflict, reduce stress in the house, and actually create a stronger connection with your young adult.
This quick listen will help you navigate college kids coming home for summer, holidays, or school breaks in a way that feels calm, respectful, and connected for everyone.

What if the problem was never you?
For so many years, I believed that if I could just fix myself enough, improve enough, and be better enough, I would finally feel calm, confident, and at peace. Yet, no matter how much I worked on myself, there was always something else to fix.
In this deeply personal episode, I share one of the most life changing truths I've learned in over 20 years of coaching and doing my own emotional healing work. 🩷
This episode is about what happens when you stop treating yourself like a problem to solve and start relating to yourself with acceptance, compassion, and emotional adulthood.
Inside this episode, you'll learn: - Why believing you are broken keeps you stuck in shame, self doubt, and emotional exhaustion - The truth about perfection and why there is no finish line where you finally get it right - How to stop being harsh and critical with yourself when you mess up - The difference between emotional childhood and emotional adulthood - How self acceptance actually helps you grow faster, not slower - Why the relationship you have with yourself affects your confidence, parenting, and every other relationship in your life
This is not about giving up on growth. It is about growing from love instead of criticism.
If you have ever felt like you are too much, not enough, or secretly flawed, this episode will feel like coming home.
You are not broken. And the moment you truly understand that is the moment everything can begin to change.

Last week, I shared a more personal reflection on why this podcast exists. Today, I want to bring it back to coaching and answer a powerful question: after 400 episodes, what actually helps the most?
In this episode, I teach the first of two foundational skills that reduce emotional suffering, reactivity, and relationship drama. This simple but profound shift will help you feel more calm, more empowered, and less at the mercy of other people's behavior.
If you've ever felt hijacked by your emotions or stuck in patterns you don't like, this is where the change begins.
Next week, I'll share the second skill that completes the picture. Thanks for being the type of person who listens to shows like the Love Your Life Show. xx

My eldest son just got married, and for the first time in over a decade, I was in the same room as my estranged sister, my father, my ex-husband, and his entire family. In this personal life update, I'm sharing exactly how it went, including what my own tools looked like in the hardest moments and what surprised me most. I talk about clean pain versus dirty pain, what it feels like when the nervous system finally starts to trust, and why I believe change is one hundred percent possible.

What You'll Learn in This Episode

This episode is different, and I wanted to speak to you more personally than usual.
I'm sharing the real reasons this podcast was born, the moments that almost broke me, and what has kept me showing up here for 400 episodes. This isn't a how-to or a lecture, it's a heart-to-heart conversation about being human, especially when life feels heavy. If this podcast has ever kept you company during a hard season, this episode is for you. I wanted you to know how much you matter to me and to this community.
If you get even one thing from any of these 400 episodes that helps you feel more seen, more connected, more loved, more human, my heart is full. I know others make a lot of money through advertising, and are better marketers to get more clients. I've been told I give too much information away for free.
But in my 54 years, I've learned this. If something feels good, do more of it. And this is really what feels good.

I am sitting down with my new friend, Dr. Danielle Dowling, for a conversation I believe every mom needs to hear.
In this episode, we talk about why motherhood can feel so overwhelming even when you are doing everything "right." We explore how invisible labor keeps women exhausted, how the 'good girl conditioning' gets activated in motherhood, and why so many moms blame themselves instead of questioning the system they are in.
We had a wonderful conversation about all the things that can affect and drain you. We delved into her wonderful book, Good Girl, Bad Mom.
Her book reads like a love letter to every woman who's ever felt imperfect, overwhelmed, and like she's supposed to smile through the struggle. It's for women who love their kids fiercely but miss themselves. It's for new or future Moms who want an honest, supportive roadmap before they feel blindsided.
Her book (and our conversation 💝) blends warmth, humor, and psychological insight that will help you make micro-resets in your life. She provides scripts, practical tools, and even something Motherhood has never had before: a job description! One necessary step in changing the system is to name the invisible work done by us all.
If you have ever felt like you are the only one struggling, like you are somehow doing motherhood wrong, please click play.
It's not you.
You are not broken.
And there is another way forward.

Feeling stuck in midlife? You're not broken. And you're not behind.
In this episode, I'm offering a gentle pause. A loving interruption. A moment to step out of autopilot and actually look at the life you're living.
If January started with hope, energy, or a word of the year… and now you feel tired, discouraged, or disconnected from that version of yourself, this conversation is for you.
I walk you through how to reflect on the last three months without judgment, why most change efforts fail even when we care deeply, and what actually helps us feel calmer, more grounded, and more hopeful in midlife.
This episode is not about doing more. It's about doing what you're doing differently in two ways.
Inside, we talk about: • Why feeling stuck in midlife is more common than we admit • How self compassion creates change faster than criticism • The power of tiny daily actions and the 1 percent better approach • Why starting small is not weakness, it's wisdom • How to choose one doable shift that future you will thank you for
If you've been taking care of everyone else and quietly wondering when it's your turn… this is it.
You don't need a total life overhaul. You need a pause. A breath. And one small step forward.
Click play.
I'm so glad you found this episode. Let's go.

What if feeling calmer, healthier, and more energized at midlife wasn't about doing more but about stopping a few things that quietly drain you?
In this episode, I share five things I stopped doing at age 50 that made an immediate difference in my mental health, energy, and overall well-being.
These aren't trendy hacks or extreme rules. They are small but powerful shifts that helped me feel lighter in my body, clearer in my mind, and more present in my life.
If you started the year with good intentions but feel like life pulled you right back into old patterns, this episode is your permission slip to begin again.
Inside this episode, I talk about:
⭐️One habit I stopped that dramatically improved my sleep and long-term health
⭐️Why being "normal" often works against mental wellness
⭐️The surprising mindset shift that helped me feel more confident in my body
⭐️A decision I made for my mental health that most women are never encouraged to question
⭐️How compassion, not self-criticism, creates real change
This conversation is especially for women who spend more time managing everyone else's lives than paying attention to their own. You do not need more discipline. You do not need to be perfect. You need awareness, self-trust, and a willingness to start small.
🤓Next week on the show, I'll be talking about the power of habits and getting 1 percent better, so think of this episode as the spark that helps you decide where to begin.

Whether you are an eldest daughter or simply someone who learned early to carry more than your share, this episode will help you see your patterns with more clarity and compassion.
Adaku and I explore how birth order shapes our identity, the quiet pressure high performers internalize, and why so many of us grow up believing our value comes from holding everything together. The insights she brings are powerful, relatable, and deeply grounding for anyone who has ever felt tired from being the dependable one.
And don't worry - since this is the Love Your Life Show, we dig into the healing side too. Adaku walks us through the early steps of reclaiming your energy and agency so you can feel lighter in your relationships and steadier in your daily life. Her framework of strategic vulnerability is a game changer, especially for women who have armored up for decades.
Much of what she shares echoes what we know about healing attachment wounds and chronic over responsibility, yet she presents it in a way that feels accessible and hopeful. If you are ready to shift out of perfectionism, people pleasing, and overfunctioning, this conversation will feel like a warm invitation to finally choose yourself.

In this episode of the Love Your Life Show, I teach one of the most important relationship skills we were never taught: emotional validation.
If you often feel the urge to fix, explain, or make things better when someone you love is struggling, this episode is for you. I have found that in learning the skills of emotional validation and emotional intelligence, the people I love (my kids, my husband, my friends, etc) feel so much more love from me. Versus, when I didn't know these skills, our conversations and my efforts to support were wonky and they were left feeling disconnected, or worse, incompetent or shamed.
Learning how to validate is how we support others without taking on their emotions or trying to change their experience, and it will change your parenting, marriage, and every close relationship you have.
This episode builds directly on last week's conversation about emotional regulation. When you can stay calm inside yourself while someone else is having big feelings, validation becomes possible. I explain what emotional validation actually is, what it is not, and why validation does not mean agreement, approval, or fixing the problem.
We talk about why emotions need soothing, not solving, how to stop minimizing or invalidating feelings without realizing it, and what to say when you want someone to feel seen, heard, and supported. I share practical phrases you can use with your kids, your partner, and the people you care about most, along with guidance on how to stay present without overfunctioning or taking responsibility for someone else's emotions.
If you are a parent, partner, helper, or chronic fixer, this episode will help you build healthier emotional boundaries, deeper connection, and more emotionally safe relationships. Spoiler Alert: When they feel better in relationship with you, YOU feel better too! 💕

Emotional regulation is one of the most important relationship skills we were never taught.
In this episode of the Love Your Life Show, Susie Pettit explains why emotional regulation is the skill that makes parenting and marriage easier and why learning to stay calm when the people you love are not can change every relationship in your life.
If you tend to take responsibility for other people's emotions, rush to fix feelings, or feel unsettled when your kids, partner, or loved ones are upset, this episode is for you.
Susie shares how emotional regulation builds emotional safety, why fixing feelings often backfires, and how developing emotional resiliency helps you show up as a calmer parent, partner, and human.
You'll learn:
⭐️ What emotional regulation actually is and why it matters in parenting, marriage, and relationships with our empty nest young adults
⭐️ How to stop outsourcing your calm to the people around you
⭐️ Why feelings need support, not solutions
⭐️ A simple framework to respond to big emotions without fixing or shutting them down
⭐️ How emotional regulation supports emotional intelligence in kids, teens, and even our underfunctioning partners or young adults
Whether you're parenting young children, teenagers, adult kids, or navigating a long-term relationship, this episode will help you understand why your internal calm is the foundation for healthier, more connected relationships.
If you want parenting and marriage to feel less heavy and more grounded, emotional regulation is where it starts. Thanks for listening!

In this episode of the Love Your Life Show, I sit down with Dr. Maria Sophocles to talk about midlife sexuality and why so many women experience changes in desire as they move through perimenopause and menopause. We explore the bedroom gap, sexual burnout in women, and the many reasons women find themselves wondering why they no longer want sex in midlife. From body image and sexual desire to the role hormones and stress play, this conversation sheds light on what is actually happening and why you are not broken.
We also talk about topics women are rarely given clear guidance on, including menopause and sex, medications that affect libido, and why it can feel so uncomfortable to talk to doctors and partners about sexual health. Dr. Maria shares practical, doable steps women can take today to feel more connected to their bodies and better informed about women's sexual health after 40.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why libido changes after menopause and during perimenopause
- What sexual burnout looks like and why it is so common
- How body image impacts sexual desire in midlife
- The bedroom gap and mismatched expectations between partners
- Prescription medications that may be affecting libido
- How to talk to your doctor about sex and get real support
If you have ever felt confused, frustrated, or alone when it comes to sex in midlife, this episode on the bedroom gap with Dr. Maria Sophocles and Susie Pettit will help you understand what is going on and what you can do next.

Have you ever wondered if you are being compassionate or if you are actually taking on responsibility that was never yours to carry?
In this episode, I am talking directly to the women who are capable, thoughtful, and deeply caring, and who often feel exhausted because they are holding everything together for everyone else.
This conversation was inspired by real emails from listeners who asked a powerful question. How can I tell if I am being compassionate or codependent?
Together, we explore how many of us were raised to overfunction, why this pattern makes so much sense, and how it shows up in our adult relationships. I share why this is not your fault, how being a "good girl" shaped so many of our habits, and why trying to fix other people's feelings can quietly steal your peace.
Most importantly, I walk you through simple, practical ways to pause, regulate yourself, and respond differently so you can stay caring without abandoning yourself. I also share real life examples from my own day to show how this work looks in the moment, not in theory.
If you are ready to stop feeling so responsible for everyone else and start creating healthier, more connected relationships, this episode is for you.

Do you consider yourself GenX?
Do you know someone who was born between 1965-1980?
Don't miss this episode inspired by a TikTok on "The Top GenX Blindspots". Whoa!
For me, and many midlife women, these are things we learned to do to survive in a system where our emotional and mental needs weren't met. We were pretty ingenious actually, one might even say, warrior like! Yet, as adults, these adaptive, protective strategies become maladaptive and hurt us and our relationships.
Join me as I explain how the way we were raised might be quietly sabotaging our emotional wellbeing and the health of our relationships.
If you have ever wondered why you say you are fine when you are not, why you push your own needs aside, or why you feel responsible for everyone around you, this episode will help so much.
And I don't leave you hanging - after listening, you'll have some simple strategies to help you care for yourself, connect more deeply, and begin shifting patterns that have been in place for decades.
This episode is the perfect starting point as we begin a new year and move toward February's relationship healing work in the Love Your Life School.
Join me, fellow GenX woman, as I look at three hidden patterns that are probably playing out in your relationships and affecting your mental health.

This is the episode for you. 💗
I sat down with Dr. Shonda Allen Hill to talk about the subtle "conversation traps" so many midlife women fall into without realizing it. If you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling drained, irritated, or like you just lost thirty minutes of your life you'll never get back, click play. 🤓
These traps steal our time, amp up our stress, and keep us stuck in cycles of over-explaining, defending, and managing everyone else's emotions. Dr. Hill breaks down why these patterns feel so exhausting and why they're especially common for moms who are already carrying the emotional load of the whole household.
But here's the good news: communication doesn't have to feel heavy. In this episode, Dr. Hill shares simple, doable shifts that help you reclaim your time, your energy, and your peace—even if the people around you don't change. Her insights will show you how to say less, stress less, and sidestep the conversations that lead straight into conflict or resentment. If you're ready to feel lighter in your relationships and more in control of your day, you're going to love this conversation.

Whoa warriors, this episode wasn't planned.
It started on a walk. One small moment after another, until something landed so clearly that I stopped short, pulled out my phone, and hit record.
In this short bonus episode, I share a more personal side of my own life and what that walk stirred up for me in real time. It's reflective, honest, and a little different than my usual episodes.
Then, I bring you the heart of a listener-favorite teaching and walk you through how to choose your word of the year in a way that actually feels supportive instead of stressful. Not a word you should pick. A word that meets you where you are and gently guides you toward how you want to feel and live.
If you've been craving clarity, a reset, or a softer way to step into the year ahead, this episode is for you. Let it be a pause, a breath, and an invitation to choose on purpose.

Are you tired of being the one who holds everything and everyone together?
If you're the go-to problem solver, the one who jumps in to "help" before anyone even asks, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. 💛
This week, I'm joined by psychotherapist and author Leah Marone, whose new book Serial Fixer explores why so many of us over-function, over-accommodate, and lose ourselves in relationships. Together, we unpack what drives our urge to fix and how to finally stop.
💬 Join us as we talk about:
- The difference between helping and fixing (and why it matters)
- What's really behind our need to keep everyone happy
- The hidden rewards of over-functioning that keep us stuck
- Actual things you can say to validate others.
- What happens when you stop managing everyone else's emotions
- Simple, daily steps to release control and reconnect with yourself
- How to Support not Solve (with your teenager, young adult, or spouse!)
Whether you call it people-pleasing, emotional outsourcing, codependency, or just "being the responsible one," this conversation will help you see that you're not broken and you're not alone.
If you've been craving lighter, freer, more balanced relationships, you'll want to listen in. Talking with Leah helped me so much. 🌿 Press play and start breaking the habit of fixing so you can finally find peace, connection, and joy that lasts.

The holidays can bring joy AND… stress. Between the parties, the pressure, and the people-pleasing, it's easy to slip into that "F it" mindset with our wellness and mental health habits. Which is why many of us, myself included, get to January feeling down on ourselves and/or like our wellness is broken and we need massive change. Now. Dammit.
And yet, we know that mindset doesn't work. Did you know that more than 90% of people quit their new years resolutions before 20 days have passed?! By January 17th!
This year and in this episode of the Love Your Life Show, I'm inviting you to try something gentler: a good enough mindset. Instead of throwing your wellness out the window until January, what if you took just one minute to reset?
I'll walk you through simple, realistic stress reduction, wellness, and mental health tips that actually work. From movement to quick ways to calm your brain, nourish your body, and restore your energy. These are the small, mindful holiday habits that help you feel better (not behind) this season.
No perfection required 💗 just a willingness to start small.
Join me for your One-Minute Holiday Reset and learn how to bring more holiday wellness, peace, and self-compassion into your days. How would it feel to head into the new year feeling proud, grounded, and recharged?

Do you ever feel drained or tired after your interactions with others in your life? Like maybe your spouse or teen but also with a parent, sibling, coworker or friend?
Please know, this is totally normal. We weren't taught skillful relationship tools and so it makes sense that we'll feel more reactive, resentful, or heavy after certain interactions.
The great news is that we can learn these skills! In fact, I've found that there are some very simple things I've learned that make all the difference for me in how I feel in my relationships. Even better news? I share three simple ones today. Just in time for you to use them over the holidays! 🌲
These skills aren't about changing others; they're about helping you feel calmer, more confident, and back in control of your emotional energy. If you use them, you'll be practicing mindful communication, active listening, and even non-violent communication (perfect for what's happening in the world right now!).
Tune in and start turning those draining interactions into moments of growth, love, and peace.

What can the Australian outback and a Dr. Seuss story teach us about perfectionism and anxiety?
Ever hear yourself saying "I'll feel better once 'this' is over" or 'this' is done? Like, once your kid gets through this thing or your partner learns how to manage his anger or you lose that weight or you check off that last goal? That's the trap of the arrival fallacy, and it keeps so many of us stuck in worry and self-criticism. For me, I find that it steals my present day happiness and calm. I'm always feeling like there's something more to do or fix or change.
Well, listen to this episode as I share two powerful life lessons that were reinforced for me when I was on my Australian camper van adventure through the outback and Great Barrier Reef. With wisdom from Dr. Seuss's Solla Sollew, I'll share how perfectionism and anxiety sneak into our daily lives (and how to kick those joy stealers out!)
If you've ever felt weighed down by worry, waiting for "someday" to feel better, this conversation will help you see why life doesn't need to be perfect to be meaningful—and how to experience more peace and joy today.

Do you ever feel guilty taking time to do something you enjoy?
Or have you ever said things like "I don't have time for that" (and by that, you mean basic human needs, like you don't have time to eat, to sleep, to pee?!?)
Maybe you are running around so much taking care of everyone and everything that you find yourself fantasizing about hiding in a closet somewhere for a couple of days?
I've been there/thought that and am so excited for you to listen to this interview. This week I'm joined by Jenny Lytle, a nurse with over 30 years of experience in end-of-life and hospice care. She now helps caregivers stop running on empty so they can keep showing up without losing themselves in the process.
Together, we talk about:
- How to keep caring without collapsing
- What we get wrong about being a "good caregiver"
- How to survive caregiving and being in the sandwich generation
- Tiny, doable ways to refill your energy tank (even if you only have 10 minutes)
If you're the one holding everything (and everyone) together, caring for aging parents, supporting kids, managing the household, this episode is for you.

- Calming hypervigilance and reclaiming your energy
- Rebuilding trust in your own thoughts and feelings
- Regulating emotions and reconnecting to yourself
If you’ve ever wondered “I’m out… but why do I still feel stuck?” this episode will give you the tools to start shifting your life in small, powerful ways. This is your next step in healing — and you don’t have to do it alone.

If you’ve ever been in a narcissistic relationship (with a partner, parent, boss, or friend), you know the effects don’t magically disappear when you leave. In fact, sometimes that’s when the real work begins.
In this episode of The Love Your Life Show, I share three common behaviors many of us carry after narcissistic abuse:
- Hypervigilance and people-pleasing
- Difficulty trusting your own perceptions
- Emotional dysregulation or numbness
These aren’t signs you’re broken. Rather, they’re survival patterns your brain and body learned in unsafe environments. Coping techniques you learned to protect yourself in complex PTSD.
Today is part one of a two-part series, and we’re starting with awareness: how these behaviors show up, what they look like in everyday life, and why you might still be doing them even years later.
Whether you’re early in recovery or decades out, this episode will help you see your patterns with compassion — and prepare you for next week’s conversation about how to heal and move forward.

Are you questioning whether that nightly glass of wine is actually serving you? Feeling like you're stuck in the "wine mom" cycle but not sure how to break free? I'm sitting down with Emily Allen, a certified alcohol-free life coach, to have an honest conversation about what it really means to live alcohol-free in midlife - and why it might be the game-changer you've been looking for.
Emily shares her personal journey from wine o'clock to freedom, including the wake-up call that shifted everything for her. We're talking about why the alcohol industry has specifically targeted midlife women, how "wine culture" keeps us feeling trapped, and what actually happens when you choose to step away from drinking. From navigating social pressure and family dynamics to discovering energy and clarity you forgot you had, Emily and Susie speak of their personal experiences and surprise at the benefits of sobriety and alcohol free living. You don’t want to miss this!
If you've ever wondered if there's more to life than managing your days around when you can have your next drink, or if you're simply curious about what an alcohol-free lifestyle could look like, this conversation will open your eyes to possibilities you may not have considered. It's time to consider if an alcohol free lifestyle might be part of you living a life you love and thriving in midlife!

Is food addiction real — and what does it mean for you? In this episode of the Love Your Life Show, I talk with neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson, founder of Bright Line Eating. We talk about the surprising science behind food addiction. You will want to listen in and hear what she says about willpower and our brain chemistry.
We explore:
- How dopamine and food cravings create compulsive eating patterns
- Why certain brains are more susceptible to sugar and processed food addiction
- The four “bright lines” that help people find freedom from dieting — not restriction
- The pros and cons of GLP‑1 medications like Ozempic for sustainable weight loss
If you’ve struggled with emotional eating, yo-yo dieting, or feeling “out of control” around food, this conversation will help you understand the brain science of weight loss. Even greater news? It will give you hope that freedom is possible.
Listen now to shift how you see food, addiction, and yourself.

Do you ever feel like people tune out when you're trying to help? You’re listening, offering advice, maybe even sharing your own story…but somehow, they shut down?
In this episode, I break down the powerful communication skill of active listening. It’s a simple, often overlooked tool that deepens connection and builds trust in your relationships.
Whether you’re a parent, a partner, or a leader, learning how to listen without fixing can transform how others respond to you. I will walk you through the four essential steps of active listening in relationships, how to recognize the type of conversation you're in (thanks Charles Duhigg!), and why your good intentions might be missing the mark.
If you want to improve communication, connect more deeply with your kids, or stop feeling like you’re doing all the talking and none of the bonding, this episode is for you.
You’ll leave with tools you can use today to feel more confident, calm, and connected in the moments that matter most.

Pssst: Do you start each day with the best intentions only to end up in bed feeling disappointed and asking "Why didn't I do what I said I would do?"
Great news! You're not broken.
Join me, certified life and wellness coach, Susie Pettit as I teach two key things about your brain that, once you learn them, you’ll feel less broken. You’ll understand why it’s not about willpower or motivation. Further, you will understand why even smart, successful people struggle to follow through on their goals.
I’d love for you to listen to discover the two main reasons your brain sabotages your best intentions… and more importantly, learn how to work WITH your brain instead of against it.
You'll learn about:
- Your brain's motivational triad and why willpower fails
- The hidden impact of decision fatigue on your daily choices
- Why "trying harder" isn't the solution (and what actually works)
- The 4 research-backed habits that raise your happiness set point
- How to stop the cycle of setting goals, missing them, and feeling terrible
If you're tired of living a "good enough" life and ready to build unshakeable self-trust, this episode will change how you approach your days forever. Stop settling and start living the life you actually want.

If you’re anything like me, you may feel a bit out of control about your phone. Listen in to learn how, when I noticed I was feeling uncomfortable about the time I was spending on the phone and what I found out about my actual time and what that translated to for my life. 😳 Which is why I dug in and made this episode! I love learning the small things that make big, healthy changes in our lives. And I am here to help in this episode. Listen in to learn:
- The real cost of phone addiction; not just for you, but for your kids, your health, your happiness, and your peace of mind. - Why tech use is so addictive and something you don’t want to ignore; - How to Break the Addictive Pattern and Take Back our Brains (and attention spans!) - Why setting boundaries is one of the kindest things we can do for our kids (even though they won’t like it) I’ll share the simple way to take back your brain. Start using this one strategy today and I promise by next week you’ll feel more in control. Next week!!! Let’s do it!
This isn’t about ditching your phone or feeling guilty. It’s about being intentional and modeling healthy use in a screen-obsessed world. If you’ve ever thought “this isn’t how I want to spend my life,” this episode is for you. Let’s break free together. Press play, warrior 💛

Warriors! What if you learned that waking up to pee in the middle of the night is not just a part of being a woman and there were things you could do about it? How about leaking when you’re exercising, sneezing, or jumping?
It’s for real!
This week on the Love Your Life Show, I have a super helpful conversation with Dr. Kassie DeWitt, a pelvic floor and bladder health expert. She not only busts the myths we’ve been told about leaking, urgency, and nighttime peeing, she helps us learn the healthy things we can do (and that we can teach to our kids) for bladder health.
We talk about why these issues are common but not normal, how hormonal shifts impact your bladder, and what you can actually do to stop leaks and ditch the pads. Dr. Kassie shares her top lifestyle tips, nighttime pee solutions, and what to start (or stop) doing today to take control of your bladder health—for good.
Whether you're in perimenopause, menopause, or beyond, I can’t wait for you to listen!

Ready to feel more alive in your life again?
Do you ever feel like you’re moving from one thing to the next without feeling what it’s like to be doing those things? Almost like you’re programmed from the outside, do this then do that? And then what, at the end of the day you’re like, okay bedtime. All to rinse and repeat the next day?
Been there, done that.
Many of us feel like we have one setting: GO! And no matter whether we’re on vacation or in a regular week, it’s go go go until all those things on our to do list and people in our lives are taken care of. Like we have a constant buzzing in the background.
Well guess what, that’s exhausting!!!! 😮💨 (not to mention has long term health hazards!).
I lived this way for years (and it seems to be my set point that I return to if I’m not careful), I research this stuff and this episode is for you. Short and to the point with something you can do TODAY that will actually make a difference. I double pinky promise you.
Listen in to Certified Life Coach Susie Pettit to see why those precious in-between moments are either fueling your burnout or becoming your secret weapon for joy.If you're a high-achieving woman whose days feel like they're flying by in a blur, this episode is your roadmap to reclaiming joy.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- The shocking truth about what you're really doing in your "downtime"
- Why your brain fights against rest (and how to win)
- The simple 3-step plan to reclaim your mini-moments
- 10+ ideas for 5-minute joy breaks that actually restore you
- How to break free from the internal patriarchy keeping you exhausted
No more autopilot living. No more feeling like your life is happening without you. This isn't about adding more to your plate, that’s the last thing us busy moms need! Rather, it's about feeling more present in our days; like they’re not something to get through. I really want this for you!

Feel Like You're Always Fixing, Pleasing, or Controlling? Try This.
What if you stopped trying so hard to make everyone else happy… and just let them?
In this powerful refresh of the Let Them theory, I’m giving you a 15-minute reminder that you are not responsible for everyone’s emotions and behaviors. That’s their job. Your job? Taking care of you.
This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever thought:
- “Why can’t they just do it my way?”
- “I’m so tired of being the one who holds everything together.”
- “If I let them act like that, won’t everything fall apart?”
Inside, we cover:
- What Let Them really means (and what it doesn’t)
- How to set emotional boundaries without guilt
- Why this one mindset shift can free you from resentment and burnout
- Simple examples you can apply today with your kids, partner, or friends
You deserve lightness. You deserve peace. And you don’t have to carry everyone else to get there.
Let them… and love yourself.
Press play and reclaim your power, warrior.

This week on the Love Your Life Show, I’m joined by the brilliant Dr. Maria Sophocles—a women’s health and menopause expert on a mission to help us feel empowered and informed during this stage of life.
We’re busting some of the biggest myths about hormone therapy—like the idea that it causes cancer, leads to weight gain, or isn’t safe if you’ve had blood clots. (Spoiler alert: there’s so much more to the story.)
Dr. Sophocles also shares something most women never hear—that testosterone is a hormone we need to be talking about, too.
This episode is here to help you feel less confused and more confident about your options, your body, and your next steps. You deserve to feel supported and vibrant—not dismissed.
Let’s walk through this together, warrior. 💛

Do you ever find it easier to just keep doing what you’re doing rather than what’s best for you?
Do you hear about boundaries and nod along like, makes sense, but when it comes to opening your mouth you talk yourself out of it?
Or maybe you’re like me, you’d say yes when you want to say no, and then feel like no one understands how much I’m doing and how tired I am?
Today on the Love Your Life Show, I’m here to reassure you that you’re not alone and the solution isn’t as far away as you think. There’s a tiny piece that most of the boundary experts on instagram and tiktok are missing that, once you learn it, makes all of this feel much less hard.
In this episode, I'm digging into why setting boundaries feels so hard for so many of us, even those listeners who grew up in the most loving and supportive homes.
As women, and especially as recovering people-pleasers and codependents, we often fall into a pattern of keeping the peace—on the outside—while we’re boiling inside. This episode is a warm and honest invitation to explore that pattern with compassion. I’ll help you see where this behavior started, why it made sense at the time, and how it’s costing you now. Most importantly, I’ll share the missing piece that will help you begin speaking up for yourself—without blowing up your life or your relationships.
You don’t have to go from silence to shouting. You just need to begin. If you’re ready to stop abandoning yourself and start building stronger, more honest relationships, this one’s for you. ⭐️

You know those conversations that leave you feeling drained, confused, or like you’re the one who did something wrong — even when you didn’t?
The person you’re interacting with may be a narcissist, or maybe just acting like an emotional child. No matter, these tools work!
Instead of spiraling into frustration or self-doubt, doing these 4 things help you feel more calm and in control.
In this follow-up episode, I’m sharing clear, actionable tools to help you communicate with all our people, whether they’re currently acting emotionally immature or narcissists. These tools help you stay grounded no matter what they’re throwing your way.
Whether it’s a partner, parent, teenager, coworker, adult child, or friend, these tools will help you so much. They help me navigate tricky dynamics with more ease, clarity, and confidence.
🔑 In this episode, you’ll learn: * How to communicate more effectively (aka How to act like an adult when the people around you are not) * 4 Different Relationships Techniques (and how to use them) * What to stop doing immediately if you want to preserve your energy * How to avoid over-functioning in emotionally draining relationships * How to shift from reaction to intention in conversations that trigger you * Why trying to “get them to understand” is a dead-end street
This is your reminder that it’s not your job to fix people. We “let them” be them. It’s your job to take care of you. This episode will help you do just that. 💛

Eeeeek! Things can feel pretty out of control these days, ey? I don’t know about you, but I can feel like I’m walking around 24/7 in a constant state of anxiety: tight chest, shallow breathing, tense jaw, etc. It’s not pretty and, even worse, it makes perimenopause or menopause symptoms worse!
Oh my!
Which is why I’m so excited to bring you this episode of The Love Your Life Show. Join me as I sit down with anxiety and attachment style expert Tami Kiekhaefer, LCSW.
We dive into: - Real world strategies to stop anxiety from controlling your life - How your attachment style impacts your relationships and how anxious you feel - Why you may be feeling anxious with your partner or kids if you’ve had past childhood trauma or relationships with narcissists - How knowing which of the 5 family roles you were can help you feel better today - Why confidence and self doubt matter
And much more. I can’t wait for you to listen and to start using some of what you learn to feel better and more in control of your day. Extra bonus - these things also help you if you’re a parent of a teen, preteen, or empty nester.
Thanks for listening. Your mental health and how you feel in your day matters to me.
This conversation with Tami was packed with practical tools for anyone struggling with anxiety, past childhood trauma, low confidence, family relationship struggles, and codependent behaviors. I hope that listening to this conversation with two anxiety experts can help you feel more calm and in control of your current situation. We work on these things every day in the Love Your Life School and in my one-on-one sessions. If you don’t have a coach yet, I’d love to be yours.

Sometimes no matter what we do, life throws us curveballs. Recently, I found myself back in the hospital (I had spent 13 days there last year) in a pretty scary situation. I felt a whole range of emotions, from fear to frustration to disappointment to overwhelm, and even some helplessness. 😣
Because of the years and years of training I’ve had to help others and of me having my own life coach, I was able to manage in what I consider a mentally healthy way.
Instead of spiraling into anxiety, fear and overwhelm, I leaned on three powerful life coaching tools to stay calm, process my emotions, and get through it with more ease. I come on this week (from the hospital, so please excuse the audio!) to highlight them for you so you can find ease when life goes upside down for you.
In this episode, I walk you through: - The What If? CBT tool and how it shifts anxious thoughts
-
The Zoom In, Zoom Out method to gain perspective
-
Clean pain vs. dirty pain and why it matters
All of us face uncertainty and things that are out of our control (especially now 😬). These life coaching tools really work. Humaning can be hard yet learning these (and using them) are what I use when things go bad. Listen in to this episode of the Love Your Life Show to help you navigate life’s challenges with more peace and confidence. Learn how to take control of your mindset—even in the hardest moments. Job loss, health diagnoses, teenage drama, marital problems, divorce, you name it, I’ve used these tools for it. 💙

Perimenopause & Menopause: What You Need to Know
Warriors! I am so excited to bring you this episode. Earlier this month, I went to a perimenopause and menopause training with top experts like Dr. Mary Claire Haver, Dr. Kelly Casperson, Dr. Louise Newson, and Dr. Vonda Wright. Two big things jumped out at me from the full day of training while surrounded by thousands of other women and I share them with you today.
We've been told a lot of things about menopause—most of them wrong. In this episode, I’m breaking down the biggest myths (spoiler: high-intensity workouts aren’t the answer, low-fat diets aren’t helping, and wine isn’t a healthy food). Plus, I’ll share small, doable shifts that can make a huge difference in your energy, brain health, and long-term well-being. If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause—or just want to set yourself up for a strong, vibrant future—this one’s for you!
Listen in, and let’s get you feeling amazing at every stage of life. 💛

Do you find yourself tiptoeing around conflict, hiding your true feelings, or feeling anxious about how others will react?
In this episode of The Love Your Life Show, I sit down with Tarah Kerwin, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and co-founder of Relationship Renovation, to explore emotional safety. If you’ve never considered emotional safety before, you’re not alone—and it might be the missing piece to feeling truly secure and connected in your relationships. With your husband, with your teens or adult children, with your friends, etc.
We dive into:
- What emotional safety really means and why it’s crucial for healthy, loving relationships
- Signs that you don’t feel emotionally safe (and why that might be causing anxiety and resentment)
- How unresolved childhood wounds can make emotional safety feel impossible
- Simple, actionable steps to create emotional safety—even if your partner isn’t on board yet
- Why people-pleasing and codependency keep you stuck in unsafe dynamics—and how to break free
If you’ve ever felt like you’re losing yourself in relationships, or if you’re exhausted from constantly trying to keep the peace, this episode is for you. Join us as we uncover how emotional safety can help you feel secure, authentic, and truly connected.
Listen now and take the first step toward feeling calmer (and emotionally safe!)

Anxiety is at an all time high - whether it’s our polarizing political climate, our actual climate 🔥, our teen’s anxiety, or any number of other factors in your life, we’re feeling it!
And while anxiety itself isn’t a signal that something is wrong with your or your teen, when it turns more into panic, it gets unmanageable.
Well, I’ve been there. I’ve had my share of panic attacks and helped teens with theirs. Today I offer help for when we are feeling panicky, either on the verge of our own panic attack or we’re freaking out because our teen or young adult is anxious or having panic attacks.
In this week’s Love Your Life Show, I’m sharing three simple, powerful steps to help you manage anxiety before it spirals into a panic attack. These tools aren’t just for emergencies—they’re skills you can use every day to feel more grounded, calm, and in control.
I really hope you’ll listen in. As I said, I’ve been there so know how life-changing these steps can be.

Hey Warriors! In this episode of the Love Your Life Show, I’m diving into something so many of us struggle with: how to truly support the anxious people in our lives—whether it’s your teen, young adult, or even your partner.
It’s easy to fall into habits of fixing, dismissing, or saying things we think are helpful but actually fuel their inner critic or inner rebel. I’m sharing how we can instead strengthen their inner coach, the voice that builds resilience and confidence, while staying calm and grounded ourselves.
If you’ve ever wondered how to help someone you love without taking on their anxiety, this episode is for you.

This week on the Love Your Life Show, Midlife Intimacy Expert Dr. Jenn and I answer your questions on sexuality and desire. Questions like:
- "What do we do if we haven’t had sex in weeks, months, or even years?"
- "How can I share my sexual needs with my partner without causing hurt feelings?"
We also explore how the messages we got about our own sexuality may still be affecting us (they’re affecting me!!!)
Messages like:
→ Be desirable but don’t desire;
→ Be attractive and sexy but not openly so;
→ Be open and accommodating but not “loose” or “overly flirty”.
We also talk about:
🔥 Why desire dips and how to reignite that spark!
🔥 Navigating those "oh-so-fun" hormonal shifts (hot flashes, anyone? 😅)
🔥 Rekindling intimacy even if it's been a while...
This episode is packed with actionable tips and honest conversations to help you feel more confident and connected in your body and your relationship. ❤️

Hey, Warriors, who wants to actually feel FREE around food and diet rules in 2025? Listen in!
In this episode of The Love Your Life Show, I chat with Amy Connell—author, speaker, and fierce advocate for body acceptance. We talk about food freedom, how to break free from feeling like there’s a “right” way to eat (and somehow we’ll find that way on TikTok or Instagram 😝) and to FINALLY begin to accept and treat our bodies like the amazing vessels they are.
This is part battle cry to stop the diet mentality that patriarchy promotes (and harms both men and women) and part informative full of wellness tips just for you, whether you’re in perimenopause or menopause or on your way there.
We also dive into practical tips for those of us who influence others—whether as moms or simply as people who care about the next generation. Amy shares simple ways we can reframe how we talk about food, exercise, and body image, creating healthier habits for ourselves and setting a positive example for our sons and daughters.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the diet cycle, overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, or weighed down by perfectionism, this episode is for you. Get ready to challenge outdated health myths, ditch the guilt, and find freedom in your health journey. Let’s do this together!

(and PLEASE SHARE! This is an important episode to share. Often we stay in narcissistic relationships for far too long because we think it's normal (I know this was my experience). The more we get the word out there, the less power narcissists have.

How would it be to move through your days without an inner critic?

Are you tired of over-functioning as a parent?
Learning the skill of loving detachment is a meta-skill. What that means is, if you learn and practice it, it will change your relationships and your life.
I do not say that lightly. This is one of those skills that when we are practicing this, we feel better, those around us feel better, and we are all able to thrive.

Surprise!
Hi Warriors!
This is a mini episode on the word of the year.
I wanted to shake off those negative resolutions and instead focus on growth and learning. You know, it's all about living a life you truly love! I invite you my dear Warriors to think about what an awesome year would look and feel like for you. Plus, I will share the incredible value of coaching and how it can help us grow personally. So exciting, right?
Key Takeaways:
- Choosing a word of the year can be a powerful practice for personal growth and transformation.
- Negative self-talk and punitive goal-setting do not lead to long-term behavior change.
- Living a life you love involves learning about yourself and aligning your actions with your values.
- Coaching can help individuals move from external validation to internal fulfillment.
- Embracing personal growth and evolution is essential for living a full and satisfying life.

I've spent the last 25 years learning and getting trained in all the things that help people feel happier and more satisfied with the life they're living, you know, the things we want more of: like how to follow through with the things we want to do, how to feel better in our relationships, how to say no when we want to say no, how to feel happier in our days, even when the dinner's burnt, the kids are crabby and you've eaten all the chips, how to set boundaries, how to best care for our midlife wellness, and on and on. I also have studied all the things we want less of, codependency, anxiety, resentment, guilt, people pleasing, perfectionism, ick.
I release episodes every week full of tips to help you do more of the things that make your life better and less of the things that don't. I call my listeners warriors because that's what you are.

In this episode, I talked about the importance of being intentional with our thoughts and how it can lead to a better life. Thoughts are not facts and that we have the power to choose which thoughts to believe. I will explain the concept of neuroplasticity and the brain's motivational triad, which drives our behavior. Warriors, slow down and become aware of your thinking. I introduce a simple tool called a brain dump to help gain control over the bully brain.
Key Takeaways:
- Thoughts are not facts; we have the power to choose which thoughts to believe.
- Our brain's main job is to keep us alive, and it is motivated by avoiding pain, seeking pleasure, and conserving energy.
- Slowing down and becoming aware of our thinking can help us take control of our lives.
- A brain dump, where we write down our thoughts for a minute, can be a powerful tool to gain control over our thinking.

How to have your best holiday season yet? Hear me speak about the importance of intentional living and making decisions ahead of time to ensure that our actions align with our values and bring us long-term satisfaction.
Warriors, let us all reflect on how you felt in previous Januarys and identify areas where you may have felt out of control or needed to make changes.
Intentional living involves tapping into your own desires and needs, rather than looking externally for what is right or wrong. I provided examples of how to be intentional during the holiday season, such as making decisions about exercise and setting boundaries with social events.
Listen now to discover the power of intentional living and how it can help you create a holiday season you don't have to recover from.

I share a powerful concept in this episode - "It's not about you."
Our brains have a tendency to make everything about us, but in reality, other people's behavior is not a reflection of us. I will offer you tools to help shift our thinking and stop taking things personally.
By practicing alternative explanations and recognizing our triggers, we can feel more at ease and confident in ourselves. Remember, your thoughts are optional, and choosing better feeling thoughts can lead to a happier life.

In this episode, I discuss the dynamic of over-functioning and learned helplessness that often occurs in relationships. I explained how this pattern can lead to feelings of resentment, stress, overwhelm, and powerlessness. I will share my own personal experience with over-functioning and how it was influenced by my upbringing. You can hear me emphasize the importance of recognizing these patterns and breaking the cycle to create healthier, more balanced relationships. Take a listen because I will also offer reflection exercises for listeners to explore their own experiences and roles in these dynamics.
Highlights of this episode: * Over-functioning and under-functioning create an unhealthy dynamic in relationships. * Learned helplessness can arise from persistent feelings of powerlessness and failure to succeed. * Reflect on the roles and expectations modeled in your upbringing to gain awareness of your own patterns. * Recognize where you may be over-functioning or under-functioning in your current relationships. * Break the cycle by fostering interdependence and shared responsibility.

I am so excited I got to talk with Brenda. As someone who’s still recovering from narcissistic abuse, Brenda brings a wealth of knowledge and compassion to this topic. Brenda Stephens MS, LPCC is a group practice owner in San Diego, CA where she and her colleagues provide individual and group therapy to those who have been impacted by a relationship with a narcissist. Brenda uses a thorough understanding of PTSD and Complex PTSD along with EMDR and Parts Work (IFS) to help clients understand, and recover from the lasting complications of being in a relationship with a narcissist. She provides training to other therapists to expand their knowledge and understanding of narcissistic abuse which is uniquely insidious and cruel. Brenda helps clients heal from the abuse they have endured and teaches them how to love themselves, reclaim their identities, and create healthy relationships.
Today on the show, Brenda and I dig into: * Types of Narcissism * Narcissistic abuse and red flags in relationships * What are some signs I am dating a narcissist or my parent was a narcissist? * The importance of not defending or arguing, as this can escalate the situation and give the narcissist more opportunities to manipulate * Why do you need to grieve and accept the truth about their past and present

Hey there, warriors! I have a special episode for you as part of our codependency series called "Get Your Power Back." We are diving deep into the topic of codependency and how it can affect our relationships and overall well-being.
Codependency impacts our marriages, our relationships with our teens and preteens, our parenting, our relationships with our aging parents, and more.
Trust me, I've been there myself. I used to feel controlled by my emotions, constantly giving my power away to others, whether it was my sons, my husband, or even strangers.
And in this episode, I'm going to share with you the steps I took to get to this place of empowerment.
Are you ready, warriors? Let's go!
Highlights of this episode: * Understanding codependency * The balance between over-functioning and under-functioning in relationships * Consequences of codependency * Desire for empowerment and freedom in relationships * Importance of being present and not dwelling on the past * Strategies for overcoming codependency

Anxiety!
It's talked about all over the place and is on the rise.
Personally, I am passionate about helping moms, kids, teens, preteens, you name it, I want to help anyone with anxiety.
I've been on anxiety medication (positive supporter here), had panic attacks, deep emotional trauma and much more. I know what it's like to feel anxious and to love an anxious person.
Please listen in because there is something most of us do with anxiety that make it worse (and I don't want that for you!) and specific things that we can do that provide significant anxiety relief for us, our teens, spouses, friends and more. And oh my gosh, how about that perimenopause anxiety (or premenstrual)?
Listen in. I love helping using my experiences and research to help others.

Leah Remillet is an international speaker, podcast host, and systems strategist for time-starved entrepreneurs, moms, and professionals. Leah Remillét has helped thousands ditch the overwhelm - without sacrificing their home life, health or happiness. Leah Remillet is the host of The Balancing Busy Podcast, an international speaker, and the Anti-Hustle Growth Strategist. She’s your anti-hustle coach who hates the hustle culture. I love to show entrepreneurs how to utalize systems, automations, and outsourcing in order to build something that allows you to be the best version of you in all areas of life. If you’ve been struggling to juggle it all and feel as though you’re right up on the edge of complete burn out, this one’s for you.
Today on the show, Leah and I dig into:
- How Leah ditched hustle culture once and for all
- Overcoming perfectionism
- How sharing household chores and responsibilities helps our family
- Why boundaries are helpful
- What her 3 Ps are
- How to use “Good, better, best”
- the need to do it all alone
This show and interview is another great example of the importance of turning inward for answers. I invite you to take what Leah and I share and do what works for you! Maturing and growing up is about changing our focus from external and what Leah or Susie does to what works for you.
And yet, that’s hard, ey? Especially if we’ve been people-pleasing or living out a version of someone else’s life for a while. That’s why I’m so glad Leah came on the show.
Listen in and then reach out on social media and tell us which boundaries or systems you’re going to set up for your best year yet. We are cheering for you!

Hey, Warriors! It's time to give yourself a break and embark on a personal audit with me. Guess what? Most of us are off track – more than 90% of our daily actions are on autopilot. Let's recalibrate together.
Imagine a slight 1-degree course correction for an airplane. It changes the whole destination. Life works the same way. A small change in action can bring massive results. I've been digging into the basics lately, like wellness and self-love, in recent episodes. Catch them at smbwell.com/ for some foundational goodness.
Now, join me for a breather and a life audit through five eye-opening questions:
- How do you feel at the end of your days?
- The next question that helps us slow down to witness the life we are living is this: What do you do like to do for fun?
- What's going well with your wellness? What small actions have you habitualized in your day that are helpful for you and helping you feel good?
- What are you working on?
- What's your short long-term goal?
Join me in this quest for intentional, easier living. Tune in now and let's nudge ourselves towards meaningful change.

I share my insights on learning to love ourselves and embracing our imperfections. Emphasizing the importance of being kind and compassionate towards ourselves and offers practical ways to support our own well-being. I encourage you warriors to greet yourselves in the morning, express gratitude to your bodies in the evening, and practice self-compassion when you make mistakes during the day. May I remind you that we are all a mix of light and dark, good and bad, and that growth occurs when we accept and learn from our humanness.
Key Takeaways:
- Greet yourself in the morning and say something nice to yourself.
- Express gratitude to your body in the evening for its functions and efforts.
- Practice self-compassion and kindness when you make mistakes or act unskillfully during the day.

Hello warriors! This episode takes a deeper dive into how we can become the best advocates and supporters for the young people in our lives. Today, we cover why feelings are so vital for teens and how they play a significant role in their growth and development. Don't miss this eye-opening episode on how we can better support our kids and understand their emotional experiences.
In this episode:
- No need for regret: You did the best you could with what you knew then. What matters is what you do now.
- Feeling all the feelings: Teens are supposed to experience a range of emotions. It's part of their growth and human development.
- Right Emotion, Right Handling: Parents can help teens learn how to regulate their emotions in ways that are either neutral or helpful, rather than harmful.
- Parenting Challenges and Growth: Parenting can be tough. Not all parents have the skills to support their kids best, especially when it comes to emotional intelligence. The good news is that you can learn and grow, using your influence in their lives positively.
- Taking Action: Today's teens face unique challenges, making it crucial for us to step up and take action. Complaining about our anxious teens isn't productive. Instead, use this opportunity to improve your parenting skills and understand that having emotions is a natural part of teen and young adult development.
- Invitation for Growth: As listeners of this podcast, you have a growth mindset. Take the next step. Enroll in a parenting class or join the Love Your Life School. Share this episode with others to spread the knowledge.

So, you know those times when you're right?
Like you're so certain you're right you need to make sure the other people stop doing it wrong?
Yeah me too.
I am often very certain that my way is the right way and those people in my life would be so much better off if they did it "my way".
Please join me today as I deep dive into this way of thinking as it's not only hard on our relationships with others (our kids, spouses, friends even!), it also feels like crap to us! It's underneath a lot of my self judgement - when I think I did it "wrong". Sigh.
Let me share what I've learned and what's helped me feel better so you can feel better too. Xxxxxx

Do you like setting intentions or goals for your day, week or year?
If you're a frequent listener of the Love Your Life Show, I'll bet you do.
Which is why I'm super excited to bring this concept that I first heard of from business coach Dan Sullivan and author, Ben Hardy.
Don't run away though - this concept is one I use in my everyday life, as a mom, a wife, a high achieving woman, to feel more life satisfaction. Listen in because it works!!!

Learning about and using this tool has helped me and my clients break habits that were unhelpful for us like over drinking, over spending, over social media'ing and over eating.

If you are in a relationship and feeling as if, in order to do be connected to them, you have to lie to yourself or to them, this episode is for you!
Wait a minute? You're a people pleaser. Not a liar! You're doing it for them!
There's no way they go together, do they? Dear warrior, true friendships and relationships are based on acceptance of and for the other person. mutuality. None of this over functioning, under functioning of codependency...that comes from fear!
Ask yourself this question; do I believe that being a good daughter, a good friend, a good mom, a good sister, a good wife requires me to lie? Well duh susie, no. Okay next question: how often do you not speak up because you think you know how the other person will react or because you think your needs or desires will impact the situation?
Warrior! Listen in. This episode will be so helpful for you!

The post Boundary Setting for People Pleasers appeared first on Susie Pettit.
One of the top ways we amazing women hold ourselves back in this world is in comparison. When we compare our lives with others we enter into a negative energy space that does not promote our best work or us living our best lives.
This week, I share a personal experience where I caught myself comparing (gulp!) coupled with tactical action steps to empower us to live our best lives.
Listen in warriors! This one's a great one!

The post One Percent Better appeared first on Susie Pettit.
Have you ever experienced a physical symptom and thought "You've got to be kidding me?"
Well I have! And it seems to be happening more and more frequently the more birthdays I have!
Luckily, author Jen Sweeney researched and wrote a book to support women as we move through perimenopause.
Her book (and this interview) are full of practical tips and strategies that we can use TODAY to FEEL BETTER and more in control.
Her approach is supportive and uplifting: Painting a picture of health and wellness that we can all grab hold of!

Anxiety is responsible for our over drinking,

The post Tools for Lasting Love appeared first on Susie Pettit.
Four years ago, a man halfway around the world wrote a simple comment on an online review that changed both of our lives. Today we tell the story.
Please note, it is a story that involves big issues: alcoholism, sexual abuse, physical abuse, parental neglect, financial hardship, and childhood trauma. It is also a story that involves hope, resiliency, new beginnings, and is a testament to our ability as humans to continue to reach, evolve and remake ourselves, regardless of what our past holds.
My special guest today is Paul Pettit, Certified Reiki, Reflexboloy, Life Coach, and my husband. I am beyond honored to be able to share this man and our life experiences with you all.
Love is always the answer.

The post An Australian Love Story appeared first on Susie Pettit.
There is no other relationship that affects your wellness more than the relationship you have with yourself. If you don’t like yourself, you’re less likely to feed yourself food that nourishes and brings joy to your body. If you don’t speak kindly to yourself, you allow others to speak unkindly to you. If you don’t think your needs are important (or at least as important as those around you), you’re unlikely to carve out time to do the things that bring you joy. If you don’t think highly of yourself, you’re likely to tolerate relationships where they don’t think highly of you either.
How do we start to change this?
How do we learn to like ourselves?
We start with these four steps.

The post How to NOT be Your Own Worst Critic appeared first on Susie Pettit.
Warriors, there is so much more to life than our weight.
Yet, if you're anything like the average woman, you've spent years of your life thinking about your weight and your body.
I don’t have many regrets in life yet boy do I regret the amount of time I’ve spent thinking negatively about my body. I deeply regret the years that I linked my worth to my physical appearance.
It's time to change.
The first step to having a healthy relationship with food and your weight is to become aware of what you’re thinking about food and your weight.
Tune back into yourself.
What do you want?
What feels good?
Over the years we've jumped on this treadmill of life, powered mostly by men, telling us how to value ourselves.
Let's get off.
Our collective brain power is needed.
It’s time warriors.
If you want something to be different, we need to be different.
For the first time in a long time, I'm offering a program detailing the pathway to permanent weight loss so that you can put this behind you once and for all. Join the hundreds of women that I've helped move from thinking and obsessing about their weight to instead thinking and obsessing on ways to live a life they love. The enrollment ends this week. You don't want to miss this: https://www.smbwell.com/weightloss as I have no plans to offer it again. You are here for a reason and it's my belief that that reason has nothing to do with your body shape or size. Learn more here: www.smbwell.com/weightloss

How many classes did you take on communication?
How much do you know about how stress and blame affect our relationships?
How about those three foundations of Effective Communication?
Lol right?
We were never taught this in school YET...the ability to communicate with those we care about is the foundation of deep and connected relationships.
Why does that matter?
Our relationships form the base from which we show up in this world. They are one of the pillars of wellness.
The more strife and stress we have in our main relationships (think: spouse, parents, etc), the more stress and strife we will experience mentally, physically, and emotionally.

The post Nonviolent Communication with Oren Jay Sofer appeared first on Susie Pettit.
Relationships are a necessary piece of our human existence.
From the moment we are born, we strive to connect and attach with the other beings in our lives.
In order to have deep connected relationships we get to have deep connected conversations with those we're in relationship with. In thriving relationships, you’ll have plenty of opportunities for deep or difficult conversations and this is a good thing. Expect it as that means you’re growing, striving, and moving into that next great level.
When a topic comes up for discussion, instead of resisting it or putting it of, follow these 5 steps to strengthen the connection in your important relationships and have GREAT conversations!

"Staying Angry at Someone is like Drinking Poison and Expecting the Other Person To Die."
Learning to forgive others and ourselves is indeed radical and I am so pleased to be able to bring Radical Forgiveness coach, Brenda Reiss's expertise and knowledge to the love your life show listeners.
For many years I held on to anger towards my parents, towards my siblings, towards my ex, and, ultimately, towards myself.
Excluding myself, I doubt the people I have forgiven even know that I've forgiven them.
In fact, I double doubt that they think they have anything to be forgiven for, lol.
The beauty is?
It doesn't matter.

How do you feel when you think of spending extra time with your parents, inlaws, or siblings?
Do you feel dread, resentment, frustration, excitement, joy, anticipation?
Don't worry: there is no right answer.
You probably feel a combination of emotions.
The important piece is to be aware of how you feel and to get clear that that’s how you want to feel.
Do you want to feel differently?
You can!
How?
By insuring that you're not adding unnecessary drama to your relationships.
By being aware of your role in the relationships and where you may be adding drama to your relationships, you can begin to feel differently.

This week on the show I have a licensed Naturopathic Physician and Acupuncturist who wrote a book on dismantling stress from the inside out so you can live a life you love. Sound familiar? This is a great discussion!
I am excited to share Dr. Samantha's work because this is how I got my health back on track. I had been to countless doctors and specialist (and gotten countless diagnoses and prescriptions) and kept feeling worse and worse. It wasn't until I looked at the whole picture that my healing began.
Dr. Samantha approaches patients by looking at the whole picture when addressing someone's health. She combines Western and Eastern medicine to help patients (and readers) find a place of health. Her book, Overcoming Overwhelm: Dismantle Your Stress from the Inside Out, is an excellent resource to walk you through four concrete steps to dismantle overwhelm.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S. right now and it's on the rise; affecting all age groups.
It’s imperative for us to look at why this is a trend and the role we play so that we can stop reverse it. I've done this in a lot of past posts so for today, let’s look at ways that we can help ourselves feel less anxious naturally.
These are 10 free, chemical-free things we can do to help set us up so we don't experience as much anxiety and also to help us when we're in the thick of it.
It's not that anxiety won’t happen. In fact, it’s not a goal to go through life anxiety or worry free. Most fear is a sign that we’re pushing ourselves, that we’re living up to our potential here on earth. That said, there’s a reason why people pop a pill: It’s easier. Choosing to do some of these things aren't easy but keep at it warrior.
You're not here for easy.
You're here to live a full life.
You're here to thrive.
Join me and let's take it to the next level of awesomeness!

Trying to control our kids’ lives gives us an illusion of calm and feels good in the moment.
Plus it's what everyone else is doing so until you learn how it impacts our kids, why would you choose to do differently?
I'll tell you why.
Because it actually doesn't feel good for you or your kid.
We are under the illusion that if we let go of control everything will fall apart.
The irony is that we feel more out of control than ever.

Why do we expect kids to do things we don't or can't do?
In the same way that I can not expect my kids to have control of their phone usage if I don't have control of my phone usage. I can't expect my kids to process their emotions if I can't process mine.
In the same way that I can't expect my kids to choose food that is healthy for their bodies if I don't choose healthy foods for my body. I can not teach my kids how to regulate their emotions if I don't know how to regulate mine.
In order for our kids to be able to process their emotions from a strong, empowered place, we parents have to know how to do that. Yet whoa, if you’re anything like me, I did not know how to manage my own emotions in effective, healthy ways. I certainly knew how to manage my emotions in ineffective, unhealthy ways: over eating, drinking, blaming others, procrastinating, etc. But how to process them in helpful ways?

I move forward into the 48th year of my life excited for it all and share 48 things: 10 things I do to stay mentally strong, 10 things I don't do; 10 things I do to get out of a funk, 8 things I don't do, and 10 life lessons.
In many ways, I could write a blog post on any one of these (and I have on many of them). Don't miss this week's Warrior Women discussion (Thursday at 10:30 AM Est) as I can elaborate on any of these. Remember warriors, growing older is a great thing! Raise your head up, pull your shoulders back, and go out there and live the life YOU want to be living. facebook.com/groups/smbwell

Yoo hoo...your alarm clock is going off.
You know that area of your life that just doesn't "feel" right?
Where you feel like you're always doing what other people want instead of what you want?
Or, do you feel like no one knows the real you? That if people knew the "real you" they'd turn and run?
The feeling you have when you think of those things is your spiritual alarm clock.
The post Your Spiritual Alarm Clock Is Going Off appeared first on Susie Pettit.
When I ask most people why they’re not doing what they want to be doing it comes down to fear.
Fear of what others will think;
Fear of our child or a loved one struggling;
Fear of failing;
Fear of the unknown;
Fear of missing out.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. I get it. Yet...
I encourage you to see fear as a sign that you’re on the right path. To open your mind to see that pain is a precursor to growth. Our muscles literally tear apart in order to grow. After you push through a challenging workout, how do you feel? Strong. Confident. Proud. The same thing happens emotionally. After we allow our painful feeling and learn from it, how do we feel afterwards? Like a badass. Like a warrior. Like a stronger, more evolved version of you!
The path of the warrior is to shift from avoiding fear to viewing it as your teacher. Listen in as I help give you tools to feel the fear and do it anyways.

Listen in because this week I interview a woman who has made it her life purpose to improve women's lives. Uh hello, what's better than that?
She is the founder and CEO of The Mom Complex, the author of a self empowerment book, and has been featured by The Today Show, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, and now the Love Your Life Show!
Her company works with places such as Walmart, Johnson & Johnson, and Unilever to help develop better products and services for mothers. Her personal empowerment book, Slay Like a Mother, helps women destroy what’s holding them back so they can live the life they want. She regularly writes about the topic of modern motherhood for Working Mother magazine and on the Slay Like a Mother platform.
Katherine's journey is one you will be able to relate to on some level, whether you're a mom or not. We are all human and living in society these days means we may feel any of the following: feelings of self doubt, that we're not enough, that our worth depends on what others think of us and complete and total overwhelm.
Join us as we discuss it all, including:
-THE MASK YOU'RE WEARING. The one you hide behind when you say everything is "just fine" when it's not.
YOUR UNREALISTICALLY HIGH EXPECTATIONS: Where they come from and how to lower them to feel more peace.
-BATTLES YOU WANT TO WIN AND THOSE YOU DON'T
-THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STRUGGLING AND SUFFERING. Life can be hard, being a woman can be a struggle. However, how might you be making it harder than it needs to be?
I loved connecting with Katherine and know you will love listening in. Show notes for this episode (including all links mentioned) can be found at www.SMBwell.com/58

There is no other relationship that affects your wellness more than the relationship you have with yourself. If you don’t like yourself, you’re less likely to feed yourself food that is helpful for your body. If you don’t value yourself, you’re less likely to carve out time to do the things that bring you joy. If you don’t think you’re worthy, you won’t make time for the healing sleep that you so need. If you put everyone else’s needs in front of your own, you won’t make time to move your body and exercise.
Why not work a bit on your relationship with yourself? Chances are, you’ve worked on your relationship with other people in your life: your spouse, your kids, your parents…..Why not pour some of that attention on yourself and your relationship with yourself? I promise you that the work you do will exponentially affect your life for the better.
The more you know about yourself, your patterns, your triggers, and the way you show up in this world, the better you’ll be able to craft a life you love. Knowledge truly is power dear warrior and in this episode I give you two things that, if done, are guaranteed to help you improve your most important relationship.

Do You Think It's Possible to Have it All?
Listen in because this week I bring you a woman who knows it is! As I say time and time again, it IS possible to live a life you love, to have it all, to THRIVE.
Christy Whitman is a transformational leader, Master Certified Coach, Energy Healer and the New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Having It All: A Woman’s Guide to Unlimited Abundance. Her newest book is called Quantum Success: 7 Essential Laws for a Thriving, Joyful & Prosperous Relationship With Work and Money. Christy is the CEO and founder of Quantum Success Coaching Academy, a 12-month Law of Attraction coaching certification program,and has helped thousands of people worldwide to achieve their goals through her empowerment seminars, speeches, and coaching sessions and products. Christy has appeared on The Today Show and The Morning Show and her work has been featured in People Magazine, Seventeen, Woman’s Day, Hollywood Life, Teen Vogue, and is now on the Love Your Life Show!
Christy helps women open up to the possibility of having it all. As she says in her book The Art of Having it All:
Every woman can have it all as she defines it, in this and in each evolving moment in her life. This message may challenge your notions of what you believe to be possible for you and your life....the intention of this book is to upend these misconceptions and to show all women that not only is it possible to have it all, but to settle for anything less is to deprive ourselves of the exhilaration joy, expansion, and freedom of becoming all that we are capable of being.

I have the best job in the world.
I get to see people’s best selves.
It's like I have a superpower. Everywhere I look, I see people’s potential.
When I work with people, it’s almost as if I’m working with 2 people: their current self and their future best self.
I see what’s possible for them. I can see the joy, freedom, and ease that’s possible in their future.
Here's what I can't do: I can’t make that future self a reality for them. I can't force them to think certain things. I can’t force them to take certain actions.
As a coach, I can have all the knowledge, share all the fancy tools, and be full of amazing encouragement. Yet if clients don’t believe in my future vision for them, it will never happen for them. If they don't believe that it’s possible for them, they won’t take the action necessary to become that future best self.
Learn the 4 things you must do to live that life that my superpower can see for you!

What do you think is possible for you?
Is this the life you had dreamed of?
Is this the marriage you thought you'd be in?
Is this the parent you thought you'd be?
Is this how you thought you'd feel at your age?
If not, why not?
It all goes back to what we believe is possible.
In this post I dive into what a belief is, where thoughts come from, how we limit ourselves, and invite you to fight for the best possible life situation for yourself.
Join me as I invite you to believe whatever the heck you want to believe.
If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you can’t.
If you think it’s not possible for you, it’s not. If you think it is possible for you, it is.
Our lives are a reflection of the stories we tell ourselves.
What are you telling yourself?
What excuses are you making for yourself that don’t serve you? That don’t help you be your best self?
What can you tell yourself instead?

If you have a kid leaving for college (or even heading to kindergarten or preschool), you are going to be full of big and often conflicting emotions. Your logical mind can tell you that everything is “fine”; that your child is supposed to be going to college or kindergarten; that this is actually a magnificent opportunity. Yet, your emotional mind will probably be in a completely different place full of fear, sadness, regret, guilt, worry, you name it. This inner conflict leaves us feeling like we're losing our mind. Crying with joy in one moment and crying in angst in the next. I’m here to tell you that you’re not losing your mind and offer a path out of this inner turmoil.

Warriors, there is so much more to life than our weight.
Yet, if you're anything like the average woman, you've spent years of your life thinking about your weight and your body.
I don’t have many regrets in life yet boy do I regret the amount of time I’ve spent thinking negatively about my body. I deeply regret the years that I linked my worth to my physical appearance.
It's time to change.
The first step to having a healthy relationship with food and your weight is to become aware of what you’re thinking about food and your weight.
Tune back into yourself.
What do you want?
What feels good?
Over the years we've jumped on this treadmill of life, powered mostly by men, telling us how to value ourselves.
Let's get off.
Our collective brain power is needed.
It’s time warriors.
If you want something to be different, we need to be different.
I do what I do because I want to help people live lives they love. Lives that feel good no matter the number on the scale. Join me this month in the Warrior Women Community. We are walking through Susan Hyatt's book BARE in an effort to re-wire some of our messaging and ditch the diet culture. We'd love to have you join.

We discuss it all: what women really need; How to treat your body with care, love, and respect—not hateful criticism; How to shed things that are weighing you down, both physically and mentally; How to de-stress at the end of your day without relying on excessive food, alcohol, Netflix binging, and other habits that clog up your mind and drain your energy; and How to stop obsessing about your weight and focus on priorities that actually matter—like your relationships, career, income, creative pursuits, activism, and citizenship! This is an important conversation for women to consider and I enjoyed every minute of it!

Are You Emotionally Obese?
I'll bet you understand what it means to have gained some unwanted physical weight and how that can impact your physical health. I'll bet you also understand which of the habits or behaviors you did to gain that weight? Maybe ate some extra food or skimped on sleep?
Have you ever thought of how you may be carrying extra emotional weight? Or which of your mental habits and behaviors led to that emotional weight gain?
Today's our lucky day. Author, Coach, and Podcaster, Laura Coe, joins the Love Your Life Show and we discuss emotional health in a way that's really easy to understand. We describe what emotional obesity is and also give specific guidance on how to lose the emotional weight that's holding us back.
The minute I heard of her book and the term emotional obesity, I knew I had to get her on the show. Laura's work helps us look at something we accept (habits and behaviors needed for physical health) to help us see where our habits and behaviors are impacting our emotional health.
Listen in as we give your real tools and advice on how to lose the emotional weight and dig into living a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the inside. Further, make sure you're a part of our private Facebook Community as we will be discussing this book (and doing some of the exercises!). https://www.facebook.com/groups/smbwell

Say you want to improve your physical strength. You know there are things TO do: move your body, sleep, eat more whole foods, etc... I'll bet you also know there are things NOT to do: skip workouts, eat plenty of sugar and white flour, spend a lot of time on the couch with your hand in a bag of chips?
Same goes for mental strength.
Amy Morin is a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and psychology lecturer at Northeastern University. She’s an international bestselling author of three books that have been translated into 35 languages. And...this week she's on the Love Your Life Show explaining how she came to write her first book: 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do.
She went on to write two more books: 13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don't Do and 13 Things Mentally Strong Women Don't Do (Yes, all books have a different 13 things). I've devoured all 3 books and am beyond thrilled to bring this amazing resource of a human being on the show for all of you to hear.
Listen in as we discuss which of the 13 things I think you find the most challenging and that I find to be most challenging to NOT do; as a person, a parent, and a woman.
I've been a long time fan of Amy's and am honored she took time to speak with me so I could share her message out to all of you. In this episode we give you tools and guidance on how to have the mental strength that sets us up to live a life we LOVE!
