DescriptionIn this episode, Laura sits down with the incredible @natalie.k.douglas – clinical nutritionist and naturopath – for a refreshingly real conversation about what holistic health actually means.They talk about how easy it is to fall into the trap of fear-based advice when it comes to food, health, and healing… and why it's not helping anyone.From organic vs non-organic, to “clean” eating, supplements, and food guilt – they dive into how confirmation bias can shape our choices without us even realizing it.Laura and Natalie also share parts of their personal health journeys, the struggles they've had with perfectionism, and why joy, connection, and flexibility are just as important as what's on your plate.This episode is a permission slip to honor your body, trust your needs, and let go of the all-or-nothing approach to wellness.✨ If you've ever felt confused, overwhelmed, or like you're never doing “health” well enough… this one's for you.To connect with Nat or ask her any questions:Instagram: @natalie.k.douglasWebsite: https://nataliekdouglas.comTagsholistic health, wellness, fear-based health, nutrition, food freedom, eating disorders, mental wellbeing, health advice, diet, lifestyle, health, nutrition, confirmation bias, organic food, personal health, holistic health, eating habits, self-awareness, body image, wellnessThank you for listening!

If you've ever felt like you're falling behind in life… this episode is for you.In this raw and real conversation, Laura opens up about the silent pressure so many women carry — the pressure to hit certain life milestones by a certain age: lose weight, find a partner, get married, buy the house, have the baby. And if we don't? We feel like we've failed.But here's the truth: those timelines? They're keeping us stuck. Stuck in toxic patterns — choosing the wrong partners, chasing quick fixes, bouncing between diets, battling binge eating, and constantly questioning our self-worth.In this episode, Laura shares her own story — a life that looks nothing like society's “rulebook.” Having a baby, not married, not engaged and not owning her own home that she lives in!… and yet, she is genuinely happy. Why? Because she finally let go of the timelines and started doing the real work: rebuilding self-worth, healing from diet culture, and choosing what actually feels right for her.We hope that this episode gives you permission to do the same — to stop waiting for the next milestone to feel good enough… and start living a life that feels like yours.You are not behind.You are right on time — for your timeline.Tags healthy eating, personal growth, societal expectations, happiness, self-worth, timelines, unlearning, emotional resilience, cultural conditioning, social media, diet culture, self-worth, relationships, boundaries, limiting beliefs, self-discovery, authenticity, happiness, personal growth, societal pressures, binge eating, dating, weight loss, fat loss, pregnancyThank you for listening!
