Squidge: Recent Episodes
The Squidge
Welcome to the Squidge! Where we have conversations about confronting the squidgy feelings that make us want to cry, cringe, quit, and create chaos. It's in this squidgy space that we can choose to either empower ourselves or revert back to our old ways of being and these are the stories that will help you move through your own Squidge.
In this episode of Squidge the Podcast, host Teri engages in a heartfelt conversation with Brina, a body image bootcamp leader and photographer. They explore Brina's journey from childhood to her current work, discussing the impact of personal growth, community support, and the importance of self-love. Brina shares her experiences with fear, vulnerability, and the transformative power of creative expression. The conversation also touches on the overflow principle, gratitude practices, and the significance of finding joy in life. Listeners are encouraged to embrace their own journeys and seek out supportive communities.

In this conversation, Kristen Chavez shares her journey of embracing her body and the societal pressures surrounding body image. She discusses the concept of 'joy maxing' and how she has chosen to accept her body as it is, rather than conforming to societal expectations. The discussion delves into childhood experiences, the impact of parenting on body image, and the importance of self-compassion and awareness. Kristen emphasizes the need to listen to our bodies and the genetic influences on body shape and size, ultimately advocating for a shift from self-hatred to self-love.

Join me as I reflect on the importance of internal validation and the courage to embrace new beginnings. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about growth, identity, and the power of choice.

When I first came across Arielle's instagram I was immediately hooked. Her words, her soothing voice, her imagery was all a beautiful balm to the sharpness of the online world. I figured it would be an important time to have a conversation with her since a lot of us are holding this duality of a crumbling society with the desire to stay attached to beauty and it's starting to get really heavy. So this beautiful storytelling healer is here to share her message of positivity, light, & quiet rebellion.

This month we are focusing on the theme of reconnection and today I want to talk about why it might be squidgy at first! Whether you are reconnecting with old friends, your younger self, your body, your finances, or the goals you set at the beginning of the year, you can't know where you're going if you don't take note of where you are!
We are exploring this theme deeper in the community at The Wandering:

I had an epiphany the other day that what I've been actively trying to do with all the work that I do has been to encourage people to get back to who they once were. This idea of reclaiming girlhood, the period of our lives where we grew up too quickly for a variety of reason, and the art of integrating that with our adulthood. In this episode I share with you how I lost my girlhood and in part 2, I am going to share how I refound it!

I was contemplating some of the obstacles that get in the way with learning as adults and I realized one of the biggest things is the squidginess of taking action. We love a good theory moment and consuming all the content - but the application of that content? Forget about it! It's VERY uncomfortable which is why we just go back for more books, podcasts, courses, etc! In this episode I break down the reality of learning and where we can start to shift our body image!

Join me for this conversation with Confidence Coach Kasturi as we discuss her vulnerable search for confidence in her body and self while growing up in the Indian culture and having heard more criticism than positive dialogue about herself as it pertained to finding a partner. We discuss how a comment made by a boy in her youth reaffirmed what her parents had told her and how it continued into her adulthood. For anyone that brings their past narratives into their present, this conversation is going to be a good one for you on how to move forward and find your own truth!

In this conversation, Teri sits down with Amie McNee for a deep dive into creativity, artistic rebellion, and the pressures society places on work and self-expression. They explore the power of curiosity, the risks of audience capture, and the challenge of staying true to oneself while navigating cultural expectations.
Together, they unpack the awakening that comes from questioning traditional ideas about work, the struggle to maintain a creative identity in a productivity-driven world, and the grief that can come with unfulfilled dreams. They highlight the importance of redefining work, honoring personal rhythms, and embracing a meaningful life—while acknowledging that fulfillment looks different for everyone.
Throughout their discussion, they touch on autonomy, creativity, and the value of having options. They challenge the rigid ideas society has about success and encourage listeners to reclaim their time, embrace their artistic potential, and expand their understanding of what art truly is—both personally and in a larger cultural context.

This is one heck of an episode for you! I am chatting with the incredible Mitzi Starkweather, amazing photographer and human, who experienced a really intense year last year - part of that being a breast cancer diagnosis. Mitzi knew from the beginning that she didn't want to get reconstruction surgery as it wasn't right for her, but she was amazing at the pressure she felt from the medical industry and even friends and family about her decision. Mitzi wants folks to know that there are other options out there in addition to reconstruction and that going flat doesn't mean you are any less feminine or sexy, though it took her by surprise that she was faced with the Squidginess of this in her journey. You will not be disappointed in this convo! Check out Mitzi's work and life here: www.mitzistarkweather.com
