POPULARITY
The thin ideal is back on center stage, but the script has changed. With GLP-1 medications promising easy weight loss, thinness can feel newly attainable—and the pressure to be smaller grows louder. We unpack what that does to our minds, our midlife bodies, and our relationship with food, especially when a single celebrity photo can wake up decades-old beliefs.We share a candid look at how the GLP-1 narrative reframes responsibility—why “just inject weekly” oversimplifies biology, access, side effects, and the reality that hunger returns when prescriptions stop. From there, we step into the messy middle: how to build durable eating skills that medications can't teach, how protein, fiber, and strength training stabilize energy and mood, and how to recognize the difference between health and performance dieting. Along the way, we examine the trend of ultra-thin celebrity bodies, the uncanny polish of faces that look AI-sculpted, and the backlash against women who simply choose to age in public.This conversation is both cultural and personal. We talk about growing up in the 90s, the stickiness of messages like “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,” and the inner critic that still whispers when we scroll. Then we practice alternatives: noticing without spiraling, choosing media that widens beauty standards, and building a foundation that lasts beyond any protocol—steady meals, strength work, realistic movement, better sleep, and kinder self-talk. If you're navigating midlife changes, sorting out GLP-1 options, or just tired of letting the scale set your mood, this one meets you where you live and offers a way forward rooted in presence, skills, and self-respect.If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to help more people find the show.

Craving bold flavor without the burnout—or the meat? We sit down with award-winning plant-based chef and author Adina Mullen to explore how global traditions make vegan cooking abundant, joyful, and deeply satisfying. From childhood vegan roots to a self-taught path through restaurant kitchens and two bestselling cookbooks, Adina shows how food can carry memory, culture, and ethics on one plate.We dig into the big questions people ask about plant-based eating: what's the real difference between “vegan” and “plant-based,” how much protein do you actually need, and can beans, tofu, tempeh, and nuts truly deliver? Adina breaks down flavor the way a traveler maps a city—aromatics first, spices toasted, textures layered—so each bite hits with balance and depth. She explains how to honor the soul of traditional dishes when swapping animal proteins for plants, preserving spice profiles, cooking methods, and the role the dish plays in its home culture.If you've ever felt intimidated by global recipes or worried that plant-based means bland, this conversation is your permission slip. Adina shares practical ways to start: build a small spice library, batch-cook beans and grains, and use simple techniques to amplify taste. Her travel stories—from Italy's quiet precision to Morocco's layered heat and Turkey's vibrant markets—turn into everyday guidance you can use tonight. And yes, we celebrate comfort too, with fan favorites like a crackling Dutch oven bread that pairs perfectly with a hearty stew.Ready to cook with confidence and curiosity?

This is a very special interview with therapist and author, Jasmin Lee Cori. Her book, The Emotionally Absent Mother: How to Recognize and Heal the Invisible Effect of Childhood Emotional Neglect was pivotal for me when exploring mothering and my history as a daughter. I found reading her book very healing, and I have adopted her affirmations as those I use when helping others, especially adults who have early wounds and mothers who want to be the best version of themselves. Her affirmations are:I am glad you are hereI see youYou are special to meI respect youYou can turn to me for helpYour needs are important to meI'm here for you; I'll make time for youI'll keep you safeYou can rest in meI delight in you Jasmin Lee Cori has lived a life of learning and healing. She practiced for many years as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado, specializing in work with adults who experienced childhood neglect and abuse. Jasmin is the author of 5 nonfiction books including The Emotionally Absent Mother, Healing From The Emotionally Absent Mother, and Healing From Trauma.Jasmin taught in a variety of colleges and vocational schools and is passionate about psychological and spiritual growth, as well as holistic health.Her website: https://www.jasmincori.com/

Important Warning about Popular Food Allergy Candy Brand Yum EarthYum Earth is a company that's positioned themselves as a top nine, allergy-free candy company. They offer organic candies, dye-free, top 9 allergen -free candies (the top 9 allergens are wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, egg, milk, sesame, fish, and shellfish).Yum Earth has just changed their packaging to note that wheat is used in their processing. This appears on the packaging of their Sour Littles, Gummy Bears, and Jelly Beans. The company responded that they have always used wheat starch as a processing agent but are only now changing their packaging due to FDA labeling requirements.Listen for more info! ---------------------------------------------------------------------Help Make Gluten Labeling a RealityEighty seven other countries require the labeling of Gluten (Wheat, Barley, Rye and Oats).

In this episode I'm speaking to you from Patagonia, a place where you don't only arrive physically, but also internally. A place that, quietly and steadily, is teaching me something very simple and very profound: to slow down. To soften. To loosen my grip.I share my two words of the year: calmness and beauty. Not as concepts, but as lived experiences. As directions I'm consciously moving toward. And as qualities that are slowly reshaping how I work, how I create, how I relate, and how I run my business.We're living in a time where the photography industry is shifting fast. AI is changing how images are produced. Editorial markets are under pressure. Old structures are dissolving. That can feel unsettling. But here, in this landscape, I'm discovering that panic doesn't create clarity. Forcing doesn't create direction. And hustling harder is rarely the answer.What does create space is calmness.I talk about how slowing down is not the same as falling behind. How you can build, create and generate income from a calmer nervous system. How calmness is not passive, but rooted in self-trust. And how beauty, in nature, in work, in attention, can become a compass in times of transition.This episode also connects to my upcoming online masterclass with Lars Lindemann, former Director of Photography at GEO Magazine and now working as a curator, mentor and strategist in the photo industry. He will share what is really happening inside the editorial world, why it is changing, and how photographers can reposition themselves not underneath editorial, but alongside it.This masterclass is not only for editorial photographers. It's for anyone who wants to understand the larger ecosystem of photography and explore new ways of positioning their work.You can sign up hereI hope this episode invites you to slow down. To observe your own patterns. Maybe even to choose a word for your year. And to remember that sometimes you are only one small step away from a complete shift.

"It's never too late to make changes and reconnect with nature."In today's delightful conversation, I speak with a dear friend and colleague, Anette Christensen, a certified Ayurvedic health counsellor, therapist, and founder of Ayurvedic Center Malmö. We delve into the ancient practice of Ayurveda, exploring its principles, applications in modern life, and the importance of daily routines for maintaining balance. Anette highlights the significance of understanding one's dosha and the practical steps individuals can take to integrate Ayurvedic practices into their daily lives for improved well-being.Ayurveda and Yoga are sister philosophies and applied lifestyles, which is why I find this talk so relevant for all the curious yogis out there. The interconnectedness of mind, body, and nature - the need for a holistic approach to health and wellness. Here are some big takeaways; ➖Understanding your dosha is key to personal health.➖Daily routines and practices are essential for maintaining balance.➖The opposite balances: understanding how to counteract imbalances in life.➖Sleep is crucial for mental and physical health.➖Ayurveda emphasizes prevention rather than just treatment.➖Creating a lifestyle around Ayurveda leads to long-term health benefits.Find Anette at the beautiful Ayurvedic Center in Malmö, Sweden – my yoga home away from home, a quiet oasis in busy city life. And join us! Upcoming courses with me and Anette, along with our Deep Winter Day Retreat on December 28th. More on the event calendar HEREI really enjoyed getting clear on Ayurveda, how it aligns with yoga and exactly how to begin to apply the simple practices to our daily routines. In oneness, Bobbi Thanks for listening!
Reinvention doesn't wait for permission. After a career-ending car accident and the loss of both parents before 40, Tina Coleman made a radical choice one week later: she boarded a plane for her first solo international trip. That single leap cracked open a new life—full-time travel, sobriety, a 90‑pound health transformation, and a mission to help Gen X women trade exhaustion for agency.We dive into what makes midlife uniquely powerful: hard-won wisdom, sharper boundaries, and the freedom to choose again. Tina shares the story behind her boldly titled upcoming book, 50, Fabulous, and Fuckable, and why the most subversive move isn't chasing youth but embodying presence. We challenge myths about gray hair, desirability, and the belief that perimenopause blocks weight loss. Tina explains how Ayurvedic rhythms, mindful eating, and strength training reshaped her health, while EFT tapping and simple nervous system resets helped quiet stress cravings and improve sleep.The conversation moves from mindset to method: five-minute journaling to clear mental clutter, Yoga Nidra to restore energy, restorative and yin yoga to unlock deep tension, and bodywork to release what talk can't reach. We talk freedom and simplicity abroad—walking cities, market food, and daily human connection—and share safe, realistic ways to make travel affordable with house sitting, work exchanges, and slow itineraries. You'll leave with practical tools, a reframe on aging, and a spark to design a life that feels like yours again.If this conversation fired you up, follow Tina at beacons.ai/transformbecourageous, pre-order her book, and grab her free travel guide.

Start your free content audit → HEREI can look at someone's content for 60 seconds and tell you exactly what objections they're getting on sales calls. "I need to think about it." "I've been burned before." "I can't afford it right now." What most people don't understand is that objection handling is not a sales problem. It's a marketing problem. When someone gets on a call with you and hits you with these objections, that didn't start on the call. That started with something missing in your content. In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly what I see when I'm auditing someone's content, the patterns that predict which objections they're getting, and how to fix it so people show up to calls pre-sold instead of full of doubt.
Mime, movement and the Relax Kids revolution. Marneta Viegas, founder of Relax Kids, was the "fame school" student haunted by self-doubt who went on to become a pioneer of accessible children's relaxation. In this episode she details the emotional toll business growth had on her, and how she now fiercely guards her creativity.From Self-Doubt to Mime: Marneta shares her supportive, yet complex, childhood, including attending ballet and tap classes where she struggled with self-esteem. Despite graduating with a degree in performing arts (and crying daily over the music requirements), constant rejection from the children's TV industry led her to pivot to the "silent way," studying mime. She funded this non-verbal training by entertaining children as a clown.The Accidental Birth of Relax Kids: While working as a clown Marneta noticed a critical drop in children's concentration, and using accumulated skills (breathing, drama, mime, silence), she created her unique seven-step system and made relaxation for children "acceptable" by turning fairy stories into meditations, drafting her first book in just three days.The Struggle: Losing the Creative Spark: As Relax Kids grew, the administrative burden took over, and Marneta experienced a loss of creativity, as well as feeling physically sick and struggling with "dark days".Creativity Found and Fiercely Guarded: There is, of course, a happy ending, and Marneta explains how she was able to find her path back to creativity, and how she now prioritizes new creative channels, including performing unique standup comedy, mindful movement, and forest bathing. Marneta's story is about the power of silence, stillness, and childlikeness to feed the soul and fuel creative liberation.Find Relax Kids hereBuy Relax Kids books hereI would love some financial support to help me to keep making this podcast.

From a doomed Arnold Schwarzenegger/Ridley Scott collaboration to Will Smith's blockbuster hit, the journey of I Am Legend to the screen is as dramatic as the apocalypse it depicts. Three wildly different film adaptations, a legendary unmade version; this story of humanity's end keeps haunting Hollywood.This is not the first adaptation of Richard Matheson's book I Am Legend. Vincent Price battled zombie-vampires in 1964's stark black-and-white thriller The Last Man on Earth. Charlton Heston faced off against intelligent albino mutants called "the Family" in 1971's, The Omega Man. Each adaptation changed the creatures, the cause of the apocalypse, and crucially, gave audiences hope where the book offered none.With only 16 weeks of prep time, the Will Smith/Francis Lawrence version, this time named I Am Legend, spent years in development hell, and quickly went from a 40-page outline to a greenlit blockbuster, and to say it was chaotic is an understatement. Whole New York City blocks were closed off for filming, and one scene on the Brooklyn Bridge cost $5 million for just six nights of filming. One week into filming, director Francis Lawrence panicked and switched from practical makeup effects to CGI, extending post-production and inflating the budget. The team was still seeing finished visual effects shots just one month before the film's release, leading to last-minute reshoots to adjust the controversial ending.I Am Legend offers a unique blend of action and deep emotional storytelling, highlighting human isolation and the struggle for survival, with one of the bestest canine companions in film. Will Smith's performance as Dr. Robert Neville is both captivating and heartbreaking, showcasing his character's descent into loneliness, and the eerie depiction of an empty New York City resonates deeply in today's world, reflecting on themes of loss and solitude in a pandemic context.

Send episode requests hereI just went on five dates in one week—including a man who drove six hours just to meet me and another who planned a seven-hour experience complete with private dining. Three of these men… met them on Hinge. When I posted screenshots, women flooded my DMs saying "that can't be my Hinge" and "dating apps don't work for me." But here's the thing: dating apps are just tools, and if you don't know how to use them, you'll keep attracting the same low-effort men while quality guys scroll right past you.In this episode, I'm breaking down the five profile mistakes that are making you completely invisible to the accomplished, intentional men you actually want. I'm talking about the specific things you're doing right now that signal "broke boy energy" instead of attracting men who know how to pursue and plan incredible dates.You'll discover why your profile isn't working and what's keeping the right men from ever seeing you as someone worth pursuing…but I'm not telling you how to fix it in this episode.If you're ready to stop deleting dating apps out of frustration and start developing actual skills that get you real results….Join my Free Attract Him Online Masterclass HEREFollow me on Instagram for more dating gems at: @torahcents @curved2cuffed

Send episode requests hereI hired a dating coach even though I literally AM a dating coach, and people are confused as hell about why I'd do that.If you're embarrassed about needing help with dating, this episode breaks down why investing in dating support- especially when you think you don't need to - separates extraordinary results from just good enough. I'm sharing the conversation that made me realize I was "undercoached," why I invested $24,000 to level up my skills, and how focusing on becoming the woman who naturally attracts what she wants changes everything. You'll learn why being ashamed of wanting support keeps you stuck with the same disappointing patterns.I'll show you how to stop settling for good enough and start believing extraordinary love is actually possible for you.If you're a woman who is ready to stop being embarrassed about needing help and start getting the dating results you actually want?….It starts with my free training: Attract 3 Commitment Ready Boyfriends in 90 Days.

In Ireland, Colon Cancer is the third most common cancer in women. Approximately 1,100 women are diagnosed with colon or bowel cancer each year and the risk increases as we age.

She woke from surgery with a stoma but also the news that they found a mass. Here we talk about how grateful she feels about the mass being found, removed and treatment kicking in but how difficult it is to have life so suddenly and so severely interrupted with this news. She's been sharing her story on instagram and tiktok to keep her sane but also to connect with other women going through illness, treatment and recovery and to remind us all that we can't assume to take our health for granted.Follow her HEREI recently had my bloods checked by Bloodworks now available at select McCabe's Pharmacy's.

What can I say about today's guest? If you're working with postnatal women or female athletes, then Grainne Donnelly will be a familiar name to you. One of the busiest and most productive people in women's health - Grainne is a clinician, PhD researcher, educator, writer, editor of the POGP journal, business owner and mother of four!In today's chat, we discussed lots of different topics under the postnatal umbrella, from diastasis to sport & exercise to compression garments and the importance of functional and clinically relevant research, with a nod to evolutionary development of the pelvic floor!At Pelvicon last year, we got a glimpse into her PhD research looking at compression garments and the pelvic floor, so we get into the weeds with this today: compression garments - do they work? What should we consider when it comes to recommending them? Are they good for everyone?Grainne, along with Emma Brockwell & Tom Goom, completely changed the conversation with the Return to Running Guidelines in 2019; the 6R Framework on Returning to Sport Postnatally (BJSM 2021), her chapter on pelvic health in sports medicine, her 2025 paper on rugby & pelvic health - you can find all of her recent publications hereI'm a huge GD fan - it really is hard to think of someone who has done more to advance the evidence base for postnatal recovery from a physio perspective, so if you get the chance to learn from her - grab it!Grainne's online courses are available at absolute.physio and they are on sale for the summer - you can find her on instagram as @absolute.physio and she will be teaching a precon at Pelvicon about real time ultrasound in pelvic rehab and of course, the book she's editing on Pelvic Health in Sports Medicine will be out in April 2026Want to take a deeper dive into women's health, from the comfort of home, and at your own pace?

I was first introduced to Cecile Simmons from her essay on being an expert on wellness misinformation and yet falling down a rabbit hole of social media fueled wellness trends even as she knew she was being duped. After that I was hooked (relatable!). We talk about the upsetting relationship between wellness, misinformation/disinformation and politics. In a world filled with conflicting information and the political agendas that shape wellness, the need for a balanced approach to health that prioritizes genuine well-being over societal pressures is even more needed.Cecile's book Ctrl Delete Hate is out now - get it HEREFind Cecile Simmons work HERE and HEREI've written about ‘eating a lot' here Guacamole FulfillmentAnd how not all poor mental health is ‘bad' - enjoy!Curious about exercise?

Deborah, Sophee's mother, "is in her own world and she's happy there and I come in and out of that world and that's ok," continues Payne who's never felt that she's had to live near to her parents. Payne is comfortable saying, "I care for them deeply, I just feel that closeness to them is not a priority." A Florida native, now living in Vancouver, CA, Sophee is happily ensconced in her full time career, helping other's fulfill their dreams.After six years, getting straight A's and doing all that she was 'supposed to do,' completing her bachelors degree and getting a Master's Degree in Industrial Design, she realized that she wasn't happy. My guest loved the design work but really missed the one one one interaction with people. After watching her mother struggle in an attempt to start her own business and fail, Sophee felt so much 'self doubt' that she never thought she'd be capable of starting her own. Again, interesting dynamics between the two women often got in the way. Payne feels that her mom likes having people around so they can do things for her that she doesn't necessarily like to do. "She demands a lot from the people closest to her," admits Sophee. "I think of her as a sun, even from a distance I can feel this warmth, she gives direction, but at the same time, the closer you get the more uncomfortably warm you get and also the more you're kind of forced to evolve around her," reflects Payne.Sophee is comfortable saying what works for her now regarding her relationship with her mom. It's about "showing my mom compassion, compassion with boundaries."

I read Emmeline Clein's book 'Dead Weight' last fall in a flurry of non-fiction, memoir and journalism I was reading around eating disorder and body image. Dead Weight manages to bridge all three. Our conversation explores the cultural perceptions of anorexia and bulimia, the impact of diagnosis on identity, and the importance of pleasure and vitality in context of our perception of what disordered eating is. Dead Weight is a call for solidarity among those affected by eating disorders, which is all of us, no matter our relationship to food.Find Emmeline Clein here and order her book, Dead Weight, hereI've written about ‘eating a lot' here Guacamole FulfillmentAnd how not all poor mental health is ‘bad' - enjoy!Curious about exercise?

In today's conversation I finally get to talk to my insta-crush Uncle Nat! Uncle Nat is an educator, innovator, and the founder of Uncle Nat's, a radically inclusive salon located in Brooklyn. Uncle Nat has reshaped the field of body hair removal with the all-gender Brazilian and created a gender-affirming, fat-glorifying, trauma- and disability-aware, deeply POC-informed salon space that provides mutual care on multiple levels. Uncle Nat is a powerful proponent of the importance of vulnerability in client relationships, the role of community in creating safe spaces, and the problem with cancel culture. The need for emotional maturity and open communication in navigating the complexities of running a small business while maintaining a commitment to accessibility and care is a deep topic for us both and I so appreciated this conversation! Also Uncle Nat is hilarious and we share some good laughs. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!If you enjoy my substack, simply ‘hearting' it helps to spread my work.

Send episode requests hereI've been dating two incredible men for months.They're consistent, thoughtful, supportive, and make my life better in tangible ways—yet I've decided not to go exclusive with either of them, even though I originally planned to choose by May.It's not that these men aren't good enough—they're wonderful—but I've realized that just because something is good doesn't mean it's right for where I'm going. In this episode, I walk you through what it looks like to make a decision based not on pressure, timelines, or what others think you should do, but on what's actually aligned with the woman you're becoming.Interested in working with me 1:1?

Send me any questions hereI sat down with Preston Johnson, entrepreneur, risk-taker, and founder of a non-emergency medical transport company launched during the chaos of COVID.What struck me most wasn't the business strategy. It was his brutal honesty about burnout, ego, and rebuilding from the inside out.Preston didn't start out trying to be a business owner. He was a content creator, like so many of us, navigating uncertainty, driven by ambition, but often spread too thin. When COVID hit, he pivoted fast, launching a company that demanded more than just hustle. It demanded everything.In this conversation, we unpack what happens when you go from doing the work… to carrying the weight of it. He talks about wearing every hat in the early days, hitting the wall with burnout, and realizing that if he didn't build better habits, nothing else would last.But this isn't just a story about business. It's about identity.Preston opened up about the gap between who he thought he was, and who he actually wanted to be. About how ego kept him from trying new things. About how real confidence came when his actions finally aligned with his core self.We also went deep on failure. Not the Instagram version. But the kind that punches you in the gut, leaves you questioning everything, and somehow becomes the thing that moves you forward.From taking micro-risks to developing emotional intelligence, Preston shares what it actually takes to grow—not just as an entrepreneur, but as a human.If you've ever felt like you're hustling hard but still stuck... this episode is your permission to pause, reassess, and rebuild, smarter, softer, and way more aligned.

At age 59, she did something extraordinary: she enrolled in culinary school — and became the only blind graduate in her class.Today, Debra is the founder of The Blind Kitchen, where she's making it possible for people with vision loss to cook independently and confidently.The truth? The kitchen can be intimidating for anyone — sharp knives, hot pans, complicated recipes. Now imagine facing all of that without sight. In this powerful episode, Debra shares how she turned fear into purpose, building a business that helps others overcome their own kitchen anxieties.What I love most is that her story isn't just about blindness. It's about resilience, creativity, and pushing through whatever's holding you back — in the kitchen or in life.Debra's approach to cooking is all about making things organized, clear, and manageable — lessons that anyone can use, whether you're a total beginner or just someone who wants to feel more confident making meals at home.Her courage and innovation are truly inspiring, and I know you'll come away from this conversation feeling empowered to tackle your own challenges.

Discipline, perfectionism, and "healthy habits" can sometimes mask a dangerous relationship with food and exercise. Allison Yamamoto opens up about her journey from NCAA cheerleader to marathon runner, revealing how her pursuit of athletic excellence led her down a path of restrictive eating, overtraining, and eventually losing her period for several years.What makes this conversation particularly powerful is how Allison's story uncovers the societal reinforcement that keeps many women trapped in unhealthy patterns. Despite serious health warning signs, doctors dismissed her concerns as "normal for an active woman." Friends and family praised her discipline and commitment to "health," unintentionally encouraging behaviors that were actually compromising her wellbeing.The revelation that missing periods signal more than just fertility concerns becomes a crucial turning point. Hypothalamic amenorrhea indicates a body in survival mode, with serious implications for bone density, immune function, and long-term health. Yet this vital information remains largely unknown to many women pushing themselves toward arbitrary fitness goals while chronically underfueling.Most striking is Allison's description of the mental burden – the constant calculations, food rules, and guilt that ran "like a tape" in the background of her mind despite appearing successful externally. This invisible struggle consumes enormous energy that could be directed elsewhere.Through her coaching practice, Allison now offers women individualized support addressing both nutritional/exercise components and the psychological factors keeping them stuck. The hopeful message? Hypothalamic amenorrhea is reversible through lifestyle changes, with the return of menstruation serving as tangible evidence of healing.Ready to transform your relationship with food and exercise? Discover what your body really needs without the rigid rules and restrictions that steal your mental freedom. Your period isn't just about fertility – it's a vital sign worth protecting.To Learn More About Allison and her programs click HEREI would love to hear from you! What did you think of the episode?
