If you’ve ever had negative thoughts about aging or growing older (haven’t we all?), you don’t want to miss this interview on the Love Your Life Show. Not only will it help you think (and feel!) more positively about aging and what’s possible for you, we give actionable things that you can start in your 30s, 40s, and 50s to set you up for vitality as you age.

I have author Allison Davis and It will help you question what you think about aging and what you think is possible for you with aging.

In my conversation with Allison Davis, former Naturopath now author of the book: Sixty is a Good Start, we explored so many helpful things like:

⭐️How our mindset shapes the way we age

⭐️Specific, small steps to support our bodies

⭐️How our “Environment Triggers Behavior”

⭐️The importance of paying attention to the words we say

⭐️How to move away from diet thinking for our best life

⭐️Bridge Thoughts and self development

And much much more! Listen to the end because she gives specific tips from her book and if you’re eager to get started, make sure you sign up for the Love Your Life School because, not only is this sort of intentional living something we work on all the time, in the month of August, I lead warriors through the Life List experience. It’s a great way to feel more purposeful and motivated about the life you’re living. It helps me every year and I can’t wait to share it with you!

Hey warrior, does it feel like you’ve ried every food plan, every tracker, every “reset”... and still feel stuck? 😩
You’re not alone — and you’re not broken.

In this week’s episode of the Love Your Life Show, I’m joined by Elizabeth Dall, a certified women’s nutrition and behavior change coach, to talk about what actually works when it comes to healing your relationship with food — especially in midlife.

We talk about:

• Why food isn’t the problem (and neither are you)

• How to stop the all-or-nothing, self sabotage cycle

• The mindset shift that will help you eat foods that are in line with your health goals…without shame or restriction

• What it really means to have food freedom

• How Susie’s curious over furious model works with emotional eating,

• And much more!

This isn’t about willpower. I can’t wait for you to listen (and to stop “starting over”).

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. ⭐️

Warriors! Here are the strategies that work when interacting with narcissists or emotionally immature people. These are ways that I’ve kept my cool even in the craziest of situations and I’m so excited to share them with 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.

• 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. 💛
