Send us Fan Mail Back with a little switch-up—enjoy this live recording from my book club diving into Part Two of my best-selling book Healthy as Fck.* As always, I’m serving up real talk on practical habits, fitness strategies, and my unfiltered thoughts—no fluff, all fire. This time, we zoom in on the habit loop—trigger → behavior → reward—and what it actually takes to break the bad ones and build new, better ones on purpose. We get into the power of the keystone habit—the one move that set...

Send us Fan Mail A few weeks ago, I realized something. I spend a lot of time thinking about women in midlife. I write content for them, coach them, record podcasts for them, and build programs for them. But I was starting to feel disconnected from the actual humans behind the screen. So I decided to stop guessing and start listening. For two weeks, I jumped on Zoom calls with dozens of women from my community. Smart women. Successful women. Funny women.

Send us Fan Mail What if I told you that your protein bar, your “clean” skincare, your microbiome test, and half the wellness advice clogging your feed are built on marketing first and evidence second? Yeah. This episode got spicy. I sat down with Timothy Caulfield, bestselling author and expert on health misinformation, to talk about why science is simultaneously one of our best tools and one of the easiest things to manipulate. We got into everything from predatory scientific journals to wh...
Send us Fan Mail We hear a lot about the “loneliness epidemic,” but what if the real problem isn’t that we feel lonelier? What if it’s that we’re spending more and more of our lives alone… and slowly forgetting how to connect in the first place? This conversation with political theorist and writer Sarah Stein Lubrano absolutely blew my mind. We got into the neuroscience of what happens when we spend too much time isolated, including how our brains literally start pruning away the social skil...
