    #146- 10 Things to STOP Doing Before the Holidays (Reduce Stress & Overwhelm)

    🌿Ready to take the next step?Listening is a great place to start, but lasting change happens when you begin putting these ideas into practice.Join us inside the Healthy Ever After app, where you'll find:✨ A supportive community of women on the same journey🎙️ Every episode of PCOS Unfiltered🥗 Healthy recipes and meal ideas📝 Weekly challenges and Body Wisdom practices🎁 Free guides and exclusive resources📅 Live trainings, Q&As, and special eventsDownload the Healthy Ever After app today and join us!📱 Apple📱 AndroidBody Wisdom ChallengeThis week, I'm not giving you another checklist of things to do.Instead, I want you to ask yourself one question:What is ONE thing I can let go of this holiday season that would make my life feel lighter?Maybe it's an obligation, the pressure to make everything perfect, food guilt, or the belief that you have to earn your rest.Choose one thing and give yourself permission to release it. ❤️Because sometimes taking care of yourself starts with doing less.In This Episode, We Discuss:Why saying yes to everything can come at the expense of your own energy and well-beingHow holiday perfectionism can steal the joy from meaningful momentsWhy you don't need to skip meals or save calories to enjoy Thanksgiving dinnerThe importance of protecting your sleep instead of sacrificing it to finish your to-do listWhy your exercise routine doesn't have to look the same during the holidaysHow to stop taking responsibility for everyone else's happinessWhy comparing your holidays to social media can create unnecessary pressureRecognizing the early signs of stress and exhaustion before reaching burnoutWhy rest isn't something you have to earn by being productiveHow to support your health through the holidays without waiting for a January resetKey Takeaways:Every yes has a cost. Before agreeing to another holiday obligation, consider what you're giving up in return. Setting boundaries isn't selfish; it's a way to protect your time, energy, and well-being.Perfection doesn't create connection. Presence does. Your family and friends are more likely to remember how they felt than whether every decoration, dish, or holiday tradition was flawless.You don't have to earn your food. Skipping meals to save calories for a holiday dinner can leave you overly hungry and disconnected from your body's signals. Nourish yourself consistently and give yourself permission to enjoy your favorite foods without guilt.Consistency doesn't mean doing the same thing every day. Your schedule may change during the holidays, and that's okay. A shorter workout, a family walk, or an extra day of rest doesn't mean you've failed.Your body communicates before you reach exhaustion. Changes in your mood, energy, sleep, or stress response may be signals that you need additional support. Learning to recognize those patterns can help you respond sooner.Rest isn't a reward for finishing everything. There will always be another task waiting. Rest is a necessary part of supporting your health, not something you have to earn.Connect with Lindsie VizethannLindsie Vizethann is a nurse turned health and nutrition coach, Body Wisdom Guide, two-time author, podcaster, and speaker who helps women understand the messages behind their symptoms and create sustainable changes that support their health and their lives.Through her coaching, programs, and Healthy Ever After community, Lindsie helps women move away from all-or-nothing thinking and constantly starting over—and toward nourishing their bodies, supporting their nervous systems, building sustainable habits, and learning to trust their own Body Wisdom.She is the host of PCOS Unfiltered: Nourish, Heal, Thrive and the author of Healthy for a Reason: 12 Practical Guidelines to Feel Like Yourself Again, Have the Energy to Show Up, Keep Up, and Enjoy Life with the People You Love and Healing Beyond the Diagnosis: Rewrite Your PCOS Story to Reclaim Your Health.Want to work with Lindsie, join the Healthy Ever After community, explore her books, or connect with her on social media?https://linktr.ee/lindsievizethann If This Episode Resonated With You...Please take a moment to:❤️ Share this episode with someone who feels stuck or is ready for a fresh perspective.⭐ Leave a review to help more women discover PCOS Unfiltered.🎧 Subscribe so you never miss a new episode.Remember:Your life isn't determined by your past, your diagnosis, or your circumstances.

    #145- What If Feeling Better Starts With Doing Less? Mindset, Stress & Self-Care (Part 2)

    🌿Ready to take the next step?Listening is a great place to start, but lasting change happens when you begin putting these ideas into practice.Join us inside the Healthy Ever After app, where you'll find:✨ A supportive community of women on the same journey🎙️ Every episode of PCOS Unfiltered🥗 Healthy recipes and meal ideas📝 Weekly challenges and Body Wisdom practices🎁 Free guides and exclusive resources📅 Live trainings, Q&As, and special eventsDownload the Healthy Ever After app today and join us!📱 Apple📱 AndroidBody Wisdom ChallengeThis week, I want you to look beyond the scale and check in with how you're actually feeling.Ask yourself:What's one sign that my health is improving that has nothing to do with my weight?Maybe you're sleeping better, have more energy, feel less stressed, or are simply becoming more aware of what your body needs.Take a moment to recognize that progress.❤️ Because feeling better is worth celebrating, even when the scale doesn't change.In This Episode, We Discuss:Why weight loss isn't always the most meaningful measure of better healthHow improved energy, confidence, and everyday well-being can become the real goals of a health journeyThe importance of building a strong foundation through sleep, nutrition, and movementWhy changing too many habits at once can lead to overwhelm and make consistency harderHow tracking calories, steps, and other health metrics can sometimes add unnecessary stressDr. Tanya's experience introducing mindfulness and meditation to her childrenHow breathwork, meditation, qigong, and journaling can support self-awareness and stress managementKey Takeaways:Better health is about more than weight loss. The scale may be one way to measure change, but improved energy, confidence, sleep, and quality of life can be equally meaningful signs of progress.Start with the foundations before adding more. Sleep, nourishing food, movement, and stress management are important building blocks. Trying to change everything at once can create unnecessary overwhelm.More tracking doesn't always mean better results. Counting calories, monitoring steps, and checking off endless wellness tasks can become stressful. Sometimes paying attention to how you feel provides valuable information, too.There isn't one right way to practice self-care. Whether it's meditation, breathwork, journaling, qigong, or simply taking a moment to pause, finding practices that fit your needs and lifestyle matters more than following someone else's routine.Connect with Dr. Tanya Berfield:Dr. Tanya Berfield holds a doctorate in transformative leadership and is the author of Radical Resilience.Through her work in Mindset Medicine, Dr. Tanya helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected reconnect with themselves and explore the beliefs and patterns that may be holding them back.Her approach incorporates mindset work, somatic practices, breathwork, and emotional awareness to support personal growth and resilience.Want to learn more about Dr. Tanya and her work?Website:https://www.drtanyab.com/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/drtanyaberfield/Substack:https://substack.com/@drtanyaberfieldMindset Medicine with Dr. Tanya Berfield:https://drtanyaberfield.substack.com/s/mindset-medicine-with-dr-tanya-berfieldIf This Episode Resonated With You...Please take a moment to:❤️ Share this episode with someone who feels stuck or is ready for a fresh perspective.⭐ Leave a review to help more women discover PCOS Unfiltered.🎧 Subscribe so you never miss a new episode.Remember:Your life isn't determined by your past, your diagnosis, or your circumstances.

    #143-Why Motivation Isn't Enough | How Small Steps Create Lasting Change
    Nov 3 2026
    🌿Ready to take the next step?Listening is a great place to start, but lasting change happens when you begin putting these ideas into practice.Join us inside the Healthy Ever After app, where you'll find:✨ A supportive community of women on the same journey🎙️ Every episode of PCOS Unfiltered🥗 Healthy recipes and meal ideas📝 Weekly challenges and Body Wisdom practices🎁 Free guides and exclusive resources📅 Live trainings, Q&As, and special eventsDownload the Healthy Ever After app today and join us!📱 Apple📱 AndroidBody Wisdom ChallengeThis week, I want you to stop waiting until you feel motivated, have more time, or have everything figured out.Instead, ask yourself:What is the smallest possible step I can take today toward something that matters to me?Not the biggest step.Not the perfect step.Just one small action that feels realistic for where you are right now.Maybe you:❤️ Put on your walking shoes and step outside❤️ Move your body for just 30 seconds❤️ Do one push-up or a few squats❤️ Write one sentence in your journal❤️ Spend five minutes working toward a personal goal❤️ Reach out to someone who can support or encourage you❤️ Take a few minutes for yourself without feeling guilty❤️ Make one small promise to yourself and follow throughAnd here's the important part:Do it again tomorrow.Robyn reminds us that consistency builds self-trust. Every time you follow through on a small promise, you begin showing yourself that you are capable of change.Remember:Forward is a pace. And every small step counts.In This Episode, We Discuss:How Robyn went from running just 30 seconds at age 47 to completing seven marathons, including all six World Marathon MajorsWhy motivation isn't always reliable and why waiting to feel motivated can keep you stuckThe connection between taking action, building confidence, and developing self-trustWhy starting smaller than you think you need to can make lasting change more achievableHow small, consistent actions can eventually become part of your identityWhy it's never too late to try something new or reinvent yourself in midlifeRobyn's experience navigating perimenopause and the challenges women face when their energy and bodies begin changingKey TakeawaysYou don't have to feel motivated to take action. Motivation comes and goes. Robyn explains that small, consistent behaviors can help you make progress even on days when you don't feel inspired or ready.Confidence often comes after action, not before it. Every time you follow through on a small promise to yourself, you have an opportunity to build confidence and trust in your ability to keep going.Start smaller than you think you need to. Robyn began with just 30 seconds of running. Whether your goal involves movement, nutrition, writing, or personal growth, even the smallest action can be a meaningful starting point.It's never too late to reinvent yourself. Robyn didn't begin running until age 47. Her story is a reminder that age doesn't have to determine what you're capable of learning, trying, or accomplishing.Taking care of yourself isn't selfish. Robyn shares the emotional challenges of caregiving and why making time for your own well-being can help you continue showing up for the people who depend on you.Connect with Robyn Godfrey:Robyn Godfrey is a TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and certified running coach whose personal journey demonstrates the power of starting small and continuing to move forward.After spending much of her career in corporate sales, Robyn began running at age 47 with just 30 seconds on a treadmill. That decision eventually led her to complete seven marathons, including all six World Marathon Majors.Today, Robyn shares her experiences through speaking, writing, and coaching, encouraging others to stop waiting for motivation, build confidence through action, and recognize that it's never too late to pursue something new.She's also the author of Running the World: A Runner's Odyssey of Struggle and Triumph in the World Marathon Majors, a memoir about running, resilience, and personal transformation.Website:https://www.robyngodfrey.com/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/robyn.godfrey.speaker/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/robyngodfrey/Watch Robyn's TEDx Talk — What If Motivation Is the Problem?https://youtu.be/E1xUzBNJQgcIf This Episode Resonated With You...Please take a moment to:❤️ Share this episode with someone who feels stuck or is ready for a fresh perspective.⭐ Leave a review to help more women discover PCOS Unfiltered.🎧 Subscribe so you never miss a new episode.Remember:Your life isn't determined by your past, your diagnosis, or your circumstances.

Notice how you feel. Build from there.In This Episode, We Discuss:What Feng Shui actually is and how it goes beyond interior decoratingCommon Feng Shui misconceptions, including the belief that you need a red front doorHow Catherine describes the relationship between our living spaces, stress, and emotional well-beingWhy clutter can contribute to feelings of overwhelm, irritation, and mental exhaustionHow our homes may reflect the stress we're experiencing in our everyday livesWhy Catherine recommends prioritizing the bedroom and kitchen when creating a more supportive environmentSimple ways to make your bedroom feel more peaceful and conducive to restFeng Shui recommendations for kitchen countertops, knife storage, and organizationWhat the Feng Shui Bagua map represents and how practitioners use it to assess different areas of a homeKey Takeaways:Your environment can influence how you feel. Clutter, disorganization, noise, and other environmental factors may contribute to feelings of stress or overwhelm. Becoming more aware of your surroundings can help you identify changes that make your space feel more comfortable and supportive.Clutter and stress can influence each other. Catherine raises an important question: Are we stressed because our homes are cluttered, or are our homes cluttered because we're stressed? Recognizing this relationship can help us approach organization with more curiosity and less judgment.Your bedroom deserves special attention. Sleep is essential for physical and emotional well-being. Catherine encourages creating a bedroom that feels peaceful, organized, and dedicated to rest, including being mindful of clutter and the objects you associate with that space.Your kitchen environment can support healthier habits. A clear countertop, organized cooking space, and welcoming dining area may make meal preparation and mindful eating feel easier and more enjoyable.Connect with Catherine Dean:Catherine Dean is a certified Feng Shui professional who helps individuals create more balanced and harmonious environments through the principles of Feng Shui.Her interest in Feng Shui grew into a passion after she began exploring how our surroundings may influence the way we experience our homes, workplaces, and everyday lives.Catherine has training in both BTB Feng Shui and Flying Star Feng Shui, allowing her to bring different perspectives to the practice of balancing and harmonizing spaces.Through consultations, educational resources, and her newsletter, Catherine shares practical ways to bring greater intention, organization, and harmony into the places we spend our time.Want to learn more about Catherine's work, explore her blog, sign up for her newsletter, or inquire about a consultation?Website:https://...

You're building evidence that change is possible.In This Episode, We Discuss:Why people often make changes in response to pain rather than moving toward something they wantHow personal beliefs can influence our willingness to changeWhy developing a sense of choice and personal agency is important for transformationMatan's concept of practicing the "muscle of change" through small actionsHow one-degree changes can gradually influence habits and identityWhy overthinking and mental negotiation can contribute to procrastinationHow simplifying the first step can make it easier to follow throughMatan's perspective on self-hypnosis recordings and their potential role in behavior changeThe relationship between relaxation, sound healing, and hypnotic statesHow repeated experiences and messages may influence unconscious beliefsKey Takeaways:You can strengthen your ability to change by starting small. Matan encourages practicing small, manageable changes to build confidence and begin shifting the belief that you're someone who is stuck. Progress doesn't have to begin with a dramatic transformation.Overthinking can become another way of staying stuck. When we spend too much time negotiating with ourselves, we can use up energy without taking action. Simplifying the first step and reducing unnecessary decisions may make it easier to follow through.The stories we attach to our experiences can influence how we see ourselves. Matan explains that difficult experiences may shape beliefs about our worth, identity, and possibilities. Exploring those meanings can create an opportunity to develop a different perspective without denying what happened.Hypnotherapy is one approach to exploring unconscious beliefs and responses. Matan discusses how he uses hypnotherapy to help clients examine patterns and emotional triggers. Experiences and outcomes vary, and hypnotherapy is not a guaranteed solution or replacement for appropriate mental health treatment.Connect with Matan Cohen-Citron:Matan Cohen-Citron is a hypnotherapist and coach who helps people bridge the gap between knowing and doing.With more than 25 years of experience exploring the mind-body connection, Matan's journey began with yoga and movement practices and expanded into areas including Pilates, Qigong, energy healing, hypnosis, and approaches to personal change.Through hypnotherapy and coaching, he helps individuals explore unconscious beliefs and patterns that may be influencing their behavior and standing between them and the life they want to create.His work includes exploring limiting beliefs, anxiety, past experiences, personal growth, and performance. He emphasizes individualized approaches that combine curiosity, compassion, and practical tools to support meaningful change.Matan's philosophy centers on an important idea: Understanding a pattern is valuable, but...

You're beginning to create a new pattern.In This Episode, We Discuss:The difference between the conscious and unconscious mindWhy knowing what to do doesn't always translate into taking actionHow unconscious beliefs and familiar patterns may influence our behaviorWhy the brain often favors familiarity and perceived safety over changeHow childhood experiences, family beliefs, and cultural influences shape our perspectivesWhy even behaviors that don't serve us may have an underlying perceived benefitHow movies, television, and everyday messages influence what we believe is normalKey Takeaways:Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different things. Information and motivation can be helpful, but our existing beliefs, habits, and emotional responses can also influence whether we follow through.Familiar patterns can feel safe, even when they aren't serving us. Matan explains that our tendency to return to familiar behaviors may help us understand why change sometimes feels uncomfortable.Our beliefs are shaped by more than our own experiences. Family, childhood, culture, media, and the messages we repeatedly encounter can influence how we see ourselves and what's possible for our lives.Breaking a pattern is only the beginning. Lasting behavior change often requires practicing a different response, not simply trying to stop an unwanted behavior.Connect with Matan Cohen-Citron:Matan Cohen-Citron is a hypnotherapist and coach who helps people bridge the gap between knowing and doing.With more than 25 years of experience exploring the mind-body connection, Matan's journey began with yoga and movement practices and expanded into areas including Pilates, Qigong, energy healing, hypnosis, and approaches to personal change.Through hypnotherapy and coaching, he helps individuals explore unconscious beliefs and patterns that may be influencing their behavior and standing between them and the life they want to create.His work includes exploring limiting beliefs, anxiety, past experiences, personal growth, and performance.

    #139- Why Can't I Stop Craving Sugar? | 10 Halloween Tricks & Treats
    Oct 20 2026
    🌿Ready to take the next step?Listening is a great place to start, but lasting change happens when you begin putting these ideas into practice.Join us inside the Healthy Ever After app, where you'll find:✨ A supportive community of women on the same journey🎙️ Every episode of PCOS Unfiltered🥗 Healthy recipes and meal ideas📝 Weekly challenges and Body Wisdom practices🎁 Free guides and exclusive resources📅 Live trainings, Q&As, and special eventsDownload the Healthy Ever After app today and join us!📱 Apple📱 AndroidBody Wisdom ChallengeThis week, I want you to get curious about ONE sugar craving instead of automatically judging yourself for having it.The next time a craving shows up, ask yourself:What might my body actually be asking for?Maybe it's:❤️ Nourishment because you haven't eaten enough❤️ Energy because you've gone too long between meals❤️ Rest because you're running on too little sleep❤️ Comfort because you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed❤️ Simply the enjoyment of something sweetChoose one moment this week to pause and notice what's happening before responding.And remember, enjoying a piece of Halloween candy doesn't mean you've failed at being healthy.In This Episode, We Discuss:Why sugar cravings aren't simply a matter of willpowerHow hunger and inconsistent eating can influence cravingsThe relationship between blood sugar fluctuations and the desire for something sweetWhy protein, fiber, and balanced meals can help support steadier energyHow stress and emotional needs may influence food choicesThe connection between sleep and appetite regulationWhy labeling foods as good or bad can create unnecessary guiltKey TakeawaysSugar cravings aren't always about willpower. Hunger, eating patterns, sleep, stress, food availability, and enjoyment can all influence cravings. Understanding those factors can help you respond more intentionally.Balanced nourishment matters.
