What if the only thing standing between you and your true potential… is you?

Rip welcomes Kori McClurg, author of the new book Get Out of Your Own Way. Kori’s journey from self-loathing to self-love is one of courage, vulnerability, and the transformative power of plants.

Like so many, Kori spent years battling the weight of diet culture, mental health struggles, and a body that reflected her inner turmoil. But through honesty, self-compassion, and a shift to a whole food plant-based diet, she discovered a new path — one that nourished both her body and her spirit.

Here’s what you’ll take away from her story:

  • Vulnerability is power — When we open up about our struggles, we create space for healing.
  • Food is medicine — Shifting to a whole food plant-based lifestyle can dramatically improve health and vitality.
  • It’s not about willpower — Real change happens when we address the emotions behind our habits.
  • Self-compassion changes everything — Treating ourselves with curiosity and kindness opens the door to growth.
  • Start small, move with grace — Sustainable transformation comes from compassionate, incremental steps.

Kori’s story is a reminder that transformation doesn’t start with a strict diet or sheer determination — it starts with love. When we get out of our own way, we create the freedom to thrive.
