I spent most of my life settling in relationships. And at 49, I finally got it right.

In this episode, I sit down with Case Kenny, author of The Opposite of Settling and the voice behind millions of those red pen posts you've probably seen on Instagram, to talk about the question that haunts so many of us: Am I settling or just being realistic?

Case isn't your typical self-help guru. He has a background in languages and studied how words literally rewire our brains. He even measured his own brainwave activity while using different sentence structures to prove that the language we use physically changes our neural patterns. It's not woo-woo. It's neuroscience.

We dive into why chemistry is overrated (yes, really), what "I need more time" actually means (spoiler: they're not worth your time), and the concept of "out of town confidence" that you should be bringing to your everyday life. We also get into competing beliefs, like those hidden contradictions like wanting success but believing power corrupts, or wanting love but thinking relationships threaten independence.

Whether you're single and tired of dating, in a relationship and wondering if it's enough, or just trying to figure out your worth, this episode will help you stop second-guessing yourself.

You spoke, and we listened. After our last episode with registered dietitian Kim Shapira, my DMs were filled with thoughtful questions, concerns, and requests for clarification. Some of you were curious, some were skeptical, and honestly? I love that. Because that's exactly why I asked Kim to come back.

In this follow-up conversation, Kim answers your most pressing questions with science-backed honesty. We're diving deep into the topics that sparked the most conversation: seed oils, parasite cleanses, food sensitivities versus allergies, and what to do when you're genuinely struggling with food addiction or binge eating.

What I appreciate most about Kim is that she doesn't tell you what to think but she explains the why behind it. She's a friend, but more importantly, she's someone who stands behind what she says with research, experience, and a genuine desire to help people heal their relationship with food and their bodies.

In this conversation, I sit down with Beatriz Victoria Albina, a family nurse practitioner, somatic experiencing practitioner, and author of the newly released book End Emotional Outsourcing to unpack why so many of us struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and burnout.

Beatriz introduces the concept of "emotional outsourcing" (a term even Oprah is talking about) which describes how we've learned to source our sense of worth, safety, and belonging from everyone and everything outside ourselves. But here's the revolutionary part: she explains that these aren't personality flaws. They're survival skills we developed as kids, and we can unlearn them.

We get real about the invisible labor women carry, the pressure to be productive over everything else, and why setting boundaries feels so physically uncomfortable. Beatrice then walks us through practical, body-based techniques you can start today.

This conversation is for anyone who's exhausted from putting themselves last, who feels guilty for saying no, or who's ready to stop apologizing for taking up space in their own life.
