Play Pause

22d ago1:00:15

1:00:15

Send us a text This week’s episode is about food and body image — a topic that comes up again and again with the high-achieving women I work with. So many high-achievers— myself included — have struggled with this. Body image becomes another way you perform, and food becomes another thing to control. Y ou try to eat as healthy as possible to feel s…

Removing the Stigma From Your Food Behaviors with Stephanie Mara Fox | #19 1:03:46

27d ago1:03:46

1:03:46

In times of stress, we seek to self-sooth our nervous systems… But it isn’t always beneficial in the long run. When we think about eating, it’s easy to forget how deeply connected food is to our nervous system, early attachment experiences, and even the ways we relate to ourselves. Eating is not just about nutrients. It’s about safety, grounding, a…

Navigating Your Relationship with Work with Kyle Elliott | #23 54:03

5h ago54:03

54:03

What happens when your job becomes your entire identity? For many high-achievers, the line between a strong work ethic and a work addiction can become blurry, leading to burnout and a disconnect from what truly matters. Imagine building your identity around being "good at work" since elementary school, only to realize that the success you chased le…

Having Agency Over Your Aging with Ashley Selman | #22 1:01:20

7d ago1:01:20

1:01:20

Aging is part of the human experience, but as our bodies change, so must our approach and mindset toward caring for them. Imagine going from being an elite athlete and coach to Olympic track and field athletes, to barely being able to move only a few years later. When you have spent your 20s identifying as strong, physical, and healthy, losing the …

20. Your Burnout Isn't Personal — It's Systemic 10:59

9d ago10:59

10:59

Send us a text The productivity epidemic isn't a personal failing — it's a feature, not a bug, of a system designed to extract value from your nervous system. While everyone's debating work-life balance, they're missing the deeper truth: we're living in economic structures that are biologically incompatible with human thriving. Your burnout isn't w…

16:07

Send us a text Most of us love reaching our goals — whether it's celebrating that presentation at work, securing a promotion, or buying our dream home. It's rewarding to complete something we've worked for. But many of us have also experienced the feeling of reaching our goals and then feeling completely empty. The thing we worked so hard for, beli…

Becoming Me: Turning Shame into Medicine | #21 56:09

14d ago56:09

56:09

Why is it so hard for so many of us… to simply be ourselves? No one becomes a Somatic Healing Coach by accident. Learning to connect with what you feel on the inside doesn’t always come easily. For Jay, that realization began after one of the most painful experiences of her young life, separating from her first husband. In this very special and ill…

Improvising Your Life with Amanda Hirsch | #20 1:03:05

21d ago1:03:05

1:03:05

The world may try to tell you otherwise, but you have the sovereignty to choose the kind of life you want to live. When we think of improv, we often picture shows like Whose Line Is It Anyway? or Saturday Night Live. While improvisation on TV can be incredibly entertaining, choosing to improvise in life by saying “yes, and…” can move you away from …

17. The Truth About Feminine Energy That No One Is Teaching 14:13

29d ago14:13

14:13

Send us a text There's something I need to tell you about why rest still doesn't feel safe, even after all the self-development work you've done. When you're pushing and performing, that's your inner masculine energy being frantic and lost. The solution isn't simply to relax. It isn't another productivity system or longer morning routine. The probl…

How Trauma Alters Your Sense of Self and Eating Habit 9:39

1M ago9:39

9:39

Happy Satiated Saturday! I find it fascinating to explore the layers and layers of connections between trauma and food behaviors. Trauma alters the way you experience bodily sensations. A racing heart can feel like panic rather than excitement. An empty stomach might trigger fear rather than curiosity about food. Over time, the body learns to suppr…

Finding Home and Safety Within Yourself with Craig Walker | #18 1:00:48

1M ago1:00:48

1:00:48

When we hold a baby, we naturally cradle the neck and the tailbone. In that moment we are tuned in to something gentle and instinctive, an awareness of subtle energy. It comes so easily to us as parents, and yet it’s so often abandoned in our own wellbeing as adults. Many sensitive people, including so many listeners of this podcast, describe feeli…

Send us a text We're back! Season 2 of Self Love Path Podcast is here! ----- What if everything you've been taught about productivity is backwards? What if the secret to getting more done, creating more impact and feeling more alive isn't about speeding up, but slowing down? I know it might sound counterintuitive. We live in a culture that worships…

Understanding the Science Behind Food Cravings with Jenn Trepeck 47:33

1M ago47:33

47:33

Happy Satiated Saturday! After years and years of navigating food cravings, it was the field of somatics that started to shift my perception of them. I used to think of cravings as something I had to do battle with and couldn't listen to until I realized that I was defining listening to cravings as abiding by them and that listening to my craving m…

Redefining Badassery with Marta Czajkowska | #17 55:40

“Whose story am I serving right now?” Have you struggled with feeling invisible? Shrunk yourself to fit a mold? Before you learn to stand up for yourself, you have to learn how to see yourself. Marta Czajkowska knows this truth better than most—not just from therapy or theory, but from the side of a cliff, 20,000 feet in the air. Growing up in comm…

Happy Satiated Saturday! When a focus on food and nutrition feels like it starts to take over your life, where you're not eating if you can't find what you've been taught are the cleanest, purest foods, and experience high anxiety whenever interacting with foods outside a set list of internally approved foods, you might be navigating orthorexia.

How to Say “Hey, Wait” Without Power Playing | #16 23:14

2M ago23:14

23:14

Do you find yourself trying to one-up others? Or maybe you tend to one-down instead? Whichever direction you lean, both have something in common. Contempt. Whether it’s contempt for yourself or for the other person, it disconnects you from having a true, grounded experience of yourself. Even if it feels satisfying in the moment. Today, Jay speaks d…

Navigating the Complexities of Body Image in a GLP-1 Era with Anna Sweeney 52:33

2M ago52:33

52:33

Happy Satiated Saturday! Something I've noticed in any body image healing exploration is how private body image concerns are. About 84% of women struggle with body image, yet something so prevalent is often kept hidden. I wonder what could change if how hard it is to live in a body could be openly discussed and supported, where conversations could …

Whether in a boardroom with global business leaders or simply with your family in the comfort of your own living room, we negotiate with other people every single day.

Happy Satiated Saturday! Fitness culture has made body image recovery even more confusing. I've seen people year after year question if it is alright to want to lose weight, or lift weights, or increase muscle.

The Healing Power of Being Truly Known w/ Sarah Peyton | #14 53:14

2M ago53:14

53:14

If you’re someone who feels deeply—and often feels alone, even when around other people—you likely carry a quiet longing for more in your relationships. Other people—even you—might mistake this wanting as wanting more attention, or wanting more time with the other person. But the true, deeper longing is for more connection. For the sense that someo…

Giving Yourself the Gift of Peace: with Erin Diehl | #12 59:02

3M ago59:02

59:02

Improv is about saying “Yes, and.” It’s about listening to others, embracing the moment, and choosing to input your own reality. In that way, improv and “Hey, Wait” are actually very similar. Today’s guest Erin Diehl is as authentic as they come. She’s a speaker, author, podcast host, “edutainer,” “failfluencer,” and self-proclaimed professional “Z…

No-Nonsense Approach To Navigating Stress Eating with Melissa McCreery 49:23

3M ago49:23

49:23

Happy Satiated Saturday! Labels like stress eating and emotional eating need some updating. By tacking on the words stress or emotional to eating, it gives the perception that the "problem" is stress or emotions, and if you can fix being a stressed person or person who feels (an impossible task), THEN the food behavior might go away. Stress and emo…
