A struggle that comes up for pretty much everyone, but isn't talked about NEARLY enough in this space? Body dysmorphia.Yep, this one hits DEEP, and is so, so real. It shows up in quiet moments, fitting rooms, mirror reflections, and even when you're crushing your fitness goals. I've felt it, my clients feel it, and I KNOW you do too. Most of us are walking around with some version of it, whether we say it out loud or not.This episode was sparked by a conversation with my client Julie (who's been KILLIN' IT), and a reel that broke me wide open (the creator is linked below).

We've been thinking about motivation all wrong in HR. After 23 years as a Chief Learning Officer in healthcare, Dr. Roger Gerard reveals why traditional motivation tactics actually backfire - and shares what leaders should do instead.If you've ever wondered why your recognition programs aren't working, why throwing money at retention problems doesn't stick, or how to actually engage your team without gimmicky incentives, this episode is for you.In this conversation, we explore:Why it's NOT a leader's job to motivate people (and what their real job is)The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation - and why it mattersHow compensation works as a "message of value" rather than a motivatorWhy most salary surveys are useless by the time you implement themThe real relationship between money and engagement (hint: it's not what you think)How to build the deep relationships that actually drive performanceWhy top-down goal setting creates cynics and disengagementA fascinating case study of co-creating organizational vision with 5,000 employeesWhen and how to set boundaries with chronic complainersWhy most incentive programs are "downright dumb" and create manipulation instead of motivationKey Quote: "I don't get up on Monday morning waiting for somebody to motivate me. I know what I want to do with my day, with my time, with my life. Nobody has to motivate me for any of that. I motivate myself, and I believe that's true of most professionals. What leaders do is we mess it up."This episode will challenge how you think about motivation, compensation, and employee engagement. Roger's insights are based on decades of real-world experience and research, not just theory.About Dr. Roger Gerard:Roger Gerard is a speaker, author, and executive coach who spent 23 years as Chief Learning Officer at a healthcare organization in Wisconsin.

Ever wonder why toxic wellness culture has us dropping $80 on serums that don't work while wellness scams rake in billions targeting women who just want to feel better? I used to be that girl—clutching my overpriced celery juice, convinced the next biohacking trend would finally "fix" me, completely oblivious to how the wellness industry profits off our deepest insecurities. What if I told you that aging is not a disease to be cured, and that trillion-dollar industry built on essential oil wellness promises is actually designed to keep you coming back for more? Amy Larocca, award-winning journalist and author of "How to Be Well," is here to blow the lid off why wellness retreats feel like cults and how MLM schemes disguised as self-care are preying on our desire to belong.In today's episode, Amy and I dive deep into the uncomfortable truth about how the wellness industry specifically targets women, turning our natural desire for health and connection into profit margins. We're talking about everything from the psychology behind wellness scams to why "optimizing" ourselves has become another form of perfectionism that's keeping us stuck. If you've ever side-eyed your collagen gummies or wondered why that expensive retreat left you feeling more confused than transformed, this conversation is going to hit different.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why toxic wellness culture specifically targets women and how to spot the manipulation tactics before you fall for themThe real reason wellness scams are a $3.7 trillion industry—and it's not because the products actually workHow wellness retreats use cult-like psychology to make you feel like you belong (while emptying your wallet)Why MLM schemes disguised as essential oil wellness are preying on women's desire for community and financial freedomThe uncomfortable truth about biohacking trends and whether any of these "optimization" methods are actually helping youHow the wellness industry profits by convincing us that aging is a disease that needs expensive, complicated solutionsWhat Amy Larocca discovered during her deep dive into wellness communities—and why debunking doesn't workThe difference between actual health practices and commodified self-care that keeps you buying but never "fixed"This conversation with Amy hit me right in the gut because honestly, I've been that woman throwing money at wellness promises, hoping the next thing would finally make me feel "optimized." The truth is, we're all craving something real to believe in—but maybe what we're actually looking for isn't found in a $200 supplement or exclusive retreat. What if the real wellness revolution is learning to trust our own bodies and stop outsourcing our intuition to people who profit from our insecurities?

“Adolescence isn't the end of your close relationship with your child, it's the beginning of the best one you've ever had.”For so many parents, the teenage years loom like a storm cloud, fraught with anxiety, conflict, and the fear of losing connection. But what if everything you think you know about adolescence is dead wrong? What if it's not a time to dread or simply get through, but an invitation to lifelong closeness and understanding with your kids?In this episode we sit down with Megan Saxelby, founder of Wild Feelings, veteran educator, and reformed “middle school monster” on a mission to radically reframe how we all understand and approach adolescence. Drawing from 17 years in middle school classrooms and her pioneering work in dignity-based conflict resolution, Megan shares how these pivotal years can unlock the best, most meaningful relationships we'll ever have with our kids. We discuss:Why the “doom and gloom” narrative about teens does everyone (kids and adults alike!) a massive disservice, and what actually happens when we expect more from themThe powerful science behind adolescent brain development (hint: ages 11–17 are just as crucial as birth to five—and why we need to stop checking out right when it matters most)How dignity-based conflict resolution can transform peer relationships, empower young people to speak up, and bring empathy and accountability into every hard conversationThe number one thing teens want: to truly MATTER, to belong, and to have agency—along with simple, actionable shifts you can use to support them (no matter whose kid they are)Real talk about parenting through change: whether that's divorce, growing up, or just learning how to be your child's anchor, not their peerPractical ways to help teens (and yourself) meet the chaos of growing up, especially in a world that makes belonging and inclusion feel more urgent (and more fraught) than everOUR GUEST: Megan Saxelby is on a mission to reframe adolescence as a time of growth and connection—not chaos. A veteran educator and founder of Wild Feelings, she brings 17 years of classroom experience and cutting-edge research to her work with parents. Megan has collaborated with thought leaders like Rosalind Wiseman and Dr. Donna Hicks, and helped develop core curriculum for #halfthestory, a leading digital wellness nonprofit. Through Wild Feelings, she offers practical, evidence-based tools that help parents navigate the teen years with confidence and compassion.Want more Megan?

For many, that means retreating into old habits, tightening control, and centralizing decisions. But Jan challenges leaders to do the opposite.She knows it's tempting. In a crisis, the structure feels safe. But Jan argues that the real power lies in authentic leadership—especially now. That means staying true to your values, trusting your people, and letting go of micromanagement.Just look at General Motors. While the industry expected GM to return to its old ways during the crisis, it didn't. Instead, the company focused on stronger supplier relationships and open communication. It worked. GM earned its highest supplier trust score in 25 years.Then there's Stellantis. After years under Carlos Tavares' top-down approach, leadership is shifting. Antonio Filosa is already building relationships—with suppliers, dealers, and unions. It's a clear sign that even the biggest players are moving toward people-first leadership.Jan's message is clear: the future of leadership in this industry isn't about control—it's about connection. If you're leading a team right now, take this moment to ask yourself: Are you leading with fear or with trust?Because in the end, how you lead through the crisis will define what kind of organization—and culture—you build coming out of it.Themes discussed in this episode:Why crises often push leaders back into command-and-control—and why that's a mistakeWhy command-and-control leadership is failing in today's rapidly changing auto industryHow authentic leadership creates faster, more sustainable results during uncertaintyThe importance of trusting your team instead of micromanaging themThe hard truth about outdated leadership models and why they hold companies backHow General Motors improved supplier relationships by leaning into empowerment and transparencyHow Stellantis is moving away from fear-based leadership with new CEO Antonio FilosaYour HostJan Griffiths is the architect of cultural change in the automotive industry.
