"You're supposed to be striving for more, but also be really pleased with what you've got... You're never supposed to be seen wanting. You're supposed to be just filled with gratitude for everything that you have, but also constantly trying." -Amy LaroccaListen in as Dr. Jennifer Reid chats with Amy Larocca, former New York Magazine fashion director and author of How to Be Well: Navigating Our Self-Care Epidemic, One Dubious Cure at a Time. Amy pulls back the curtain on how the wellness industry has become the new fashion industry—using the same aspirational marketing tactics to make women feel perpetually inadequate.If you've ever felt guilty for being "just fine" or pressured to optimize every aspect of your life, this episode is your permission slip to stop. Amy's journey from fashion journalism to wellness investigation reveals the dangerous messaging targeting women and offers a refreshing antidote to optimization culture.Key Quotes:On the pressure to optimize:"It feels irresponsible to be satisfied with fine... especially if you're a woman, it's like, okay, well, what about my family? Like, who am I, if I'm saying that's okay. Should be trying to optimize at all times."On the myth of returning to yourself:"The idea that the self is fixed...if I could piece together what this self that we're endlessly being sold promises...but it's not a sustainable idea of itself."On wellness as the new status symbol:"Fashion was becoming less exclusive, which meant people interested in aspiration had to find something more exclusive. And weirdly, it became health. Do you know this doctor? I have better health than you."On the core message:"I look at my daughters and I'm like, you don't have to improve anything. And all I would wish for them is to not waste that time thinking that they're not enough... you're so more than enough."About the Guest:Amy Larocca is an award-winning journalist who spent 20 years at New York Magazine as fashion director and editor at large. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Vogue, Town & Country, and The London Review of Books. She lives with her family in New York and North London. Her book How to Be Well: Navigating Our Self-Care Epidemic, One Dubious Cure at a Time, is a love letter to her daughters and all women caught in the optimization trap.Resources Mentioned:* The Invisible Kingdom: Reimagining Chronic Illness by Megan O'Rourke* "Welcome to the Menopause Gold Rush" (NYT article by Amy Larocca)Dr. Reid on Instagram: @jenreidmd and LinkedIn and her upcoming book, Guilt Free.Thanks for listening to The Reflective Mind and reading A Mind of Her Own!

I know I'm dating myself, but here goes… Back in the 1960's there was a television show called “Sea Hunt.” The show centered around a free-lance scuba diver named Mike Nelson, played by Lloyd Bridges. Mike Nelson was a former Navy diver and a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. As a free-lance diver, he was hired for all kinds of dangerous underwater work, everything from salvaging precious cargo from wrecked ships to rescuing people trapped in caves. Each episode had dangerous situations and villains who were ready to slash the hoses on Mike's air tanks. In nearly every episode, Mike would have to make a hasty ascent from the depths, which he would attempt to time carefully to avoid “the bends,” a potentially fatal condition more formally called decompression sickness. On occasion. Mike would have to spend time in a decompression chamber. Watching this as a child, I was fascinated by the danger of too hasty a return to the surface. On the one hand, Mike would be running out of oxygen and would need to get back on the boat quickly. But on the other hand, making his return too quickly could prove fatal. Talk about a dilemma. Today's show is not about the bends, but it is about the possible downside, although not a potentially fatal one, of returning to your regular practice routine too quickly after your vacation. If you're like me, you may come back from vacation with your fingers itching to get back on the harp strings. If you run right to the harp however, you might find it more challenging or even frustrating than you expected. Broken strings and creaky fingers are annoying enough to deal with, but the real issue is that the pieces we were working on seem so far from where we left them. In my experience, diving right into your usual kind of practice can instantly deflate your post-vacation high. Instead of being able to keep that feeling of freshness, relaxation and renewal, you're right back into the practice grind you left. What's the fix? The good news is that we don't need a decompression chamber. All we need is the right mindset and a plan, and I have both of those for you today.

Divorce guilt can be overwhelming, especially when it's tangled with religious upbringing, family expectations, and concerns about your children. In this deeply personal episode, I open my heart about the guilt I carried after ending my 20-year marriage, particularly how my Mormon background shaped my beliefs that divorce wasn't a viable option and that I was jeopardizing eternal salvation by making this choice. My journey through guilt included what I call the "parental report card" – this imaginary scorecard where I believed my parents were tallying my life choices and finding me increasingly disappointing. I began seeing myself as "the black sheep" of the family, assuming my parents viewed my authentic choices with sadness and disgust. Despite feeling more connected to myself than ever before, this guilt continued to weigh heavily on me. The turning point came when I discovered a passage that helped me create a powerful reframe helping me create a much needed perspective shift helping me heal from the guilt stories I'd been carrying and embrace a new narrative about my choices and their meaning. Whether your divorce guilt stems from religious teachings, family expectations, or concern for your children, or something else, healing is possible. You can learn to unwind from these stories, forgive yourself for the inevitable pain that comes with major life transitions, and recognize that choosing authenticity isn't selfish – it's revolutionary. You are worthy of setting down the divorce guilt in all its forms and embracing your role as a seeker of liberation for yourself and future generations.To download your FREE GUIDE: "What to Expect When Divorcing: The Ultimate Guide to Dealing with the Emotional Rollercoaster of Divorce" click here.

In this revealing conversation, freelance journalist and former coach Linda Flanagan describes how youth sports have transformed from neighborhood fun into a $30 billion industry that's reshaping American families. Drawing from her book "Take Back the Game: How Money and Mania Are Ruining Kids' Sports and Why It Matters," Flanagan explores the cultural shifts since the 1970s that have turned children's athletics into high-stakes enterprises demanding extraordinary parental sacrifice.The Parental Pressure Paradox* Parents now spend an average of 202 minutes (over 3 hours) daily on their children's athletics* 36% of families reduce family vacations and struggle to save money due to sports expensesThe College Myth * Only 6-7% of high school athletes go on to play in college, and just 2% of these receive any athletic scholarship money.Red Flags to Watch For in Youth Sports* Family life revolving entirely around one child's sports schedule* Siblings feeling resentful or left behind* Parents' emotional wellbeing tied to their child's athletic performance* Pressure to specialize in one sport before adolescence* Sacrificing family relationships, activities, friendships, and personal interestsFlanagan's controversial but liberating advice: "Flee the bleachers at the middle school gym, skip the tournament at school across town, resuscitate your own interests and relationships instead."This isn't about not caring for your children—it's about showing them that:* Their activities belong to them, not you* Adult life has purpose and joy beyond child-serving* Independence and resilience are valuable life skills* Your wellbeing matters tooThe Bottom LineYouth sports can be wonderful for children when kept in proper perspective. The key is resisting cultural pressures that turn childhood athletics into family-consuming enterprises. By maintaining balance, protecting family relationships, and modeling fulfilling adult lives, parents can help their children enjoy sports without sacrificing everything else that makes life meaningful.Website: lindaflanaganauthor.comResources Mentioned* "Take Back the Game" by Linda Flanagan* Aspen Institute Sports and Society Program research* Beyond Stigma Documentary on Women in Collegiate SportsThanks for listening to The Reflective Mind Podcast and reading A Mind of Her Own!

In this powerful episode, CJ dives into Chapter 4 of his book Your Diet Fails: The Ultimate Cheat Code to Eating Out and Staying Fit. This chapter is a must-listen for anyone who's ever felt awkward saying no to dessert, pressured to “just have one drink,” or judged for trying to stay healthy while everyone else indulges.CJ reframes the way we think about social dining. It's not about restriction or being the odd one out. It's about taking ownership, showing up with calm confidence, and leading by example. You can enjoy your food and your people—without compromising your health.Key Takeaways:People don't react to what you eat—they react to how you make them feel about their own choices. Own yours calmly and you diffuse tension.Social pressure isn't a reason to cave—it's an opportunity to lead.You can indulge, but make it intentional, not accidental. Control the moment so it doesn't control you.Boundaries aren't rude—they're a form of self-respect. And you don't owe anyone an explanation for choosing what's right for you.Dining out is about more than food—it's about connection, presence, and experience.5 Things You Can Start Doing Today:Use confident language when saying no. Say, “I'm good, thanks,” and move on. No guilt, no debate.Prepare a go-to line for common pressure moments. Example: “I've got an early workout tomorrow, so I'm skipping drinks tonight.”Influence the group early by suggesting healthier shared dishes. Leadership beats resistance.Set your boundary before the meal begins. Decide in advance what you'll have and what you'll skip. Stick to it.Slow down and be present. Savor your food, engage in conversation, and appreciate the full dining experience—not just the plate.This episode is a practical, empowering blueprint for navigating meals without guilt or regret. You're not just making a choice—you're building a lifestyle.

Healthy boundaries protect our mental wellbeing, yet many of us struggle with feeling guilty when setting them due to deep psychological conditioning and fear of rejection.• Boundaries are guidelines that teach people how to treat us with respect, not walls that keep others out• The guilt we feel when setting boundaries often stems from childhood messages about being "selfish"• Warning signs you need stronger boundaries include resentment, exhaustion, and feeling taken advantage of• Different types include emotional, physical, time, work, digital, and social boundaries• Effective boundary-setting uses clear language like "I won't be checking emails after 6pm"• When boundaries are tested, stay calm and consistent without over-explaining• Self-care is boundary practice with yourself – each time you honor your needs, you strengthen boundary-setting muscles• Setting boundaries isn't selfish; it's an act of self-respect that ultimately benefits everyoneVisit www.kore-fit.com and follow us on Instagram at @korefitnessaz to join our community and continue this wellness journey together.
