When was the last time you received a compliment without brushing it off? How about GAVE a compliment that you really, really meant...without prefacing it with "I hope this isn't weird, but..." ?? In this episode of the WANTcast, we're talking about something that seems simple on the surface but can have a huge impact on your self-talk, relationships, and confidence: COMPLIMENTS. Whether you're great at giving them, awkward at receiving them, or somewhere in between, this episode breaks down WHY compliments actually matter a lot — and how to make compliments feel natural and meaningful (instead of weird or forced). IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS: Why we struggle with compliments in the first place The importance of compliments when it comes to shifting your negative self-talk + creating a more just, kind, and equitable world The anatomy of a great compliment: the three categories, and the Three "S" Equation How to take a compliment: EXACTLY what to say without deflecting or minimizing and more! ~ SHOW NOTES: Subscribe to WANT on Substack: http://womenagainstnegativetalk.substack.com Follow Katie on Instagram: http://instagram.com/katiehorwitch Get the book!

Today on the WANTcast, we're sitting down with sustainability expert, bestselling author, and award-winning changemaker Ashlee Piper to explore her latest movement and book: No New Things. Ashlee — whose work has appeared in The New York Times, Vogue, CNN, and Good Morning America — breaks down how a personal challenge to stop buying new stuff became a lifestyle shift, viral movement, and 30-day guide to help you save money, reduce overwhelm, and create meaningful impact. This isn't a no-buy challenge or a guilt trip: it's an invitation to investigate how your stuff makes you feel, how to reset your consumer habits, and how to reconnect with your values in a culture of overconsumption.  IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT: The true meaning of "No New Things" How your stuff affects your time, money, and mental load What to do when you feel the urge to shop Reframing gift-giving, borrowing, and community care The psychology of consumption, and why shopping isn't the self-care we think it is and more!!

If you've ever felt stuck because you don't have it all figured out, this episode is for you. We talk about: The hidden fears that keep us from starting something new Why “manageable” can sometimes stunt our growth How comparison sneaks in — even when we think we're over it The power of taking imperfect action and leading your own life ...and more! ~ SHOW NOTES:  Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@katiehorwitch  Listen & Subscribe on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wantcast-the-women-against-negative-talk-podcast/id1031793292  Subscribe to WANT on Substack: https://womenagainstnegativetalk.substack.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katiehorwitch/ and https://www.instagram.com/womenagainstnegativetalk/  Get Katie's book, WANT YOUR SELF: Shift Your Self-Talk and Unearth The Strength In Who You Were All Along: http://wantyourself.com (Reading WYS for the new year in your book club?

Already overwhelmed by the idea of 2025? Join the club.  In this episode, we'll talk about why you shouldn't abandon setting goals or intentions in the new year — even if it feels trite or pointless, or you're feeling defeated or deflated. And YES, we're talking about this at the beginning of December for a reason. We're not thinking about the nuts and bolts of our goals: we're PRE-THINKING them. Now is NOT the time to make a huge laundry list for yourself, but it IS the perfect time to get introspective, evaluate where you've been and what you're working with, and set a solid foundation for your goals to stand upon in the new year and beyond. ~ SHOW NOTES: Subscribe to WANT on Substack Join THE WANT COMMUNITY Buy your copy of WANT YOUR SELF here  Follow Katie on Instagram Love the WANTcast?

“Playing the long game” means being committed to the idea that you'll go the distance to accomplish a goal — even if it seems far-off — and that you'll take the necessary steps to get there. Because once you do, your goal will be real, alive, and lasting. But it can be really, really hard to stick to "playing the long game" in the face of challenges, naysayers, or a seeming lack of proof of progress. You might ask yourself: how long IS this long game?? In today's episode, we're digging into the nuances of THE LONG GAME, and three tools to add to your "long game toolkit" ASAP. ~ SHOW NOTES: Astrology Of The Week Ahead with Chani Nicholas Subscribe to WANT on Substack Join THE WANT COMMUNITY Buy your copy of WANT YOUR SELF here  Follow Katie on Instagram Love the WANTcast?

One of my favorite quotes that sits on my desk says “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” - Ralph Waldo Emerson So how do we do that? Here today to teach us how to forge our own path is Katie Horwitch. Katie has spent almost two decades studying the conversations we have about ourselves, and the implications of them out in the world. She speaks about self-confidence and shifting the stories that help shape our negative self-talk patterns, is the host of the WANTcast: where the word WANT stands for Women Against Negative Talk, a mindset coach, and author of Want Your Self: Shift Your Self- Talk and Unearth The Strength In Who You Were All Along. Katie is a living example of all that we can do when we decide to forge our own path. At the end of the day, you're the only one who gets to walk and choose YOUR path. And comparing your journey to someone else's makes no sense, because they're not on your path and you're not on theirs. So I'll leave you with another quote I love - “Run your own race at your own pace”.

What if strength isn't about how much we can lift, but how we manage life's struggles? What if we've been told lies our whole life about what it means to truly TAKE UP SPACE?

If you're fed up with ridiculous, patriarchal dating rules but don't know what you'd do instead...so feel like you just need to put up with sucky dates for who knows how long...our guest Lily Womble has got your back. This episode is about dating, of course, but it's really about building the most authentic relationships of your life — including the relationship with yourself. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Feeling like you're either too much or not enough How to ACTUALLY meet people The way dating apps are engineered and where they fit in your dating life's ecosystem How to find great dates in difficult situations (ie small towns, places with values or politics that don't align with yours, etc) and more! ABOUT LILY: Lily Womble is sparking a feminist revolution in the way we date and find love. She was one of the top matchmakers in the U.S., but after setting up hundreds of dates, Lily realized that the answer to finding love was much deeper than a setup, and that the way we are taught to date is still stuck in the patriarchal dark ages. She founded her company, Date Brazen, six years ago and has since helped hundreds of women create love lives that are epic, settle-proof, and joyful-as-hell with her intersectional feminist approach. She changes lives daily on TikTok, Top 4 Relationship Podcast- The Date Brazen Podcast , and sold-out coaching programs world-wide.

We often don't realize how these “small” experiences can have such a big impact. Self-talk is the inner dialogue and story we tell ourselves all day long Katie's deep seeded negative self-talk was centered around creating and performing for others but never being able to enjoy and experience for herself. Negative self-talk is not inherently good or bad - it's information and how you process tat information. Mental health was the catalyst for Katie to move away from theater and into the work of coaching. A dangerous eating disorder began to physically affect her ability to sing and perform, which is what she was in school to study. This is when she started to do the internal work to shift her patterns and behaviors. Changing negative self-talk can be very difficult for many people. You can't just “change your mind” and things are better. Everything requires a game - it's about the game you're willing to play. There can be a lot of fear and risk associated with following a purpose or “calling.” The biggest risks Katie felt she took were unknown financial possibilities getting into a newish field with blogging and online magazines and she felt the pressure of risk on being approved of and accepted in these new fields. Everything has a shadow side and can be manipulated. Do all things with integrity. Self-deprecation is dangerous but it helps people bring themselves together and find things in common. The key is recognizing the language you are using on a regular basis. Check yourself by asking this question “Do I want the reality of actually shifting? Or do I just like the drama of trying to figure it out?” Her book, Want Yourself, is based on the curriculum Katie created over the last decade. Discover your own personal “through line.” Katie has embraced being flexible in order to achieve desired outcomes. It's all give and take WANTCast is in its 9th year.

When you hear "...you'll regret it," what do you do? If you're someone who is of a certain *pre-45-ish* age, NOT a parent, and are either decidedly child-free or on the fence about this massive life decision, you're probably familiar with the REGRET conversation. (“You'll regret it when you're old” being the main thesis statement of that convo.) But beyond the parenthood conversation, it can seem like everything is wrapped up in the will-I-won't-I debate: work, job, relationships, even food. Regret is a big topic for a lot of us, so today, we're going there.  ~ SHOW NOTES: Listen to Episode 175 with Ruby Warrington Join THE WANT COMMUNITY (launching the first week of May!)

Today we're talking to Ruby Warrington all about being a Woman Without Kids, being "a village person," and the nuances of being child-free (by choice or by circumstance). IN THIS EPISODE, we get extremely candid as we talk about: The ways the parenthood vs. non-parenthood discussion has evolved, and ways it hasn't The "motherhood spectrum" vs. the motherhood binary Other people's opinions and cultural expectations / "noise" around motherhood, and how that affects us Our inner "noise" around motherhood, and how that affects us A new spin on the conversations around love and regret Navigating grief when you wanted to be a parent but it wasn't in the cards (childfree by circumstance) How to create a movement that matters ...and SO much more!  Ruby Warrington is a British-born author and editor, perhaps best known as the creator of the term “sober curious”. Her 2018 book and million-download podcast of the same title has helped to spearhead a global movement to reevaluate our relationship with alcohol. Her latest book, Women Without Kids, asks: “Instead of continuing to paint childfree women as sad, self-obsessed, or somehow dysfunctional, what if we saw them as boldly forging a first-in-a-civilization vision for a fully autonomous womankind? What if being a woman without kids was in fact its own kind of legacy?” Ruby's other works include Material Girl, Mystical World, The Numinous Astro Deck, and The Sober Curious Reset. With more than 20 years of experience as a lifestyle journalist and editor, Ruby is also the founder of self-publishing imprint Numinous Books and is known as a true thought leader in the “Now Age” wellness space. ~ SHOW NOTES: Find Ruby at https://www.rubywarrington.com/ and on Instagram @rubywarrington Buy WOMEN WITHOUT KIDS Attend the CELEBRATE BEING CHILDFREE retreat at Kripalu with Rachel Cargle ~ BUY WANT YOUR SELF on...

An avid photographer and journaler, Walrond's writing and coaching have helped thousands of people around the world find meaning and purpose in their lives.

To get a book deal with a publishing house, you need to have a literary agent. But how do you find a literary agent? Where do you begin, and what should you look for? Is any agent better than no agent — and any deal a foot in the door of the publishing industry?

You've probably heard (or used) the term "burnout" before...but what's actually going on when you're burnt out, and how can you turn it around? Or maybe even prevent it from happening in the first place? Do you need to hit certain marks for it to qualify as "burnout" vs. general blah-ness? Why are we all so spent???  Today's guests are Amanda Baudier and Rebecca Stump, the co-founders of Full Plate Full Cup, an educational platform and boutique consultancy on a mission to help individuals and teams become wildly happy — and wildly successful.

Summer is the time for sunshine, longer days, and...an oddly large amount of FOMO potential??? The idea of how we "should be" spending our time exists throughout the year...but between vacation pics on Instagram, social invites, and ideas instilled in us at a young age about what the "perfect summer" looks like, the feelings of FOMO — Fear Of Missing Out — might be bubbling up for you extra hard right now.

When we do things that are hard...what are we REALLY doing? And how are we doing them? In this episode, we're diving head-first into the topic of DOING HARD THINGS, and how to keep yourself in check and focused on growth (versus unintentionally keeping yourself stuck and small).

"Wellness" is 4.4-trillion-dollar global industry — but in many cases, it's not actually making us more well. In a society that's become increasingly distrustful of conventional medicine, how can we decipher what's fact vs. fiction, steer clear of The Wellness Trap, and reimagine what well-being CAN be? Today's guest is the phenomenal Christy Harrison, a journalist, registered dietitian, and certified intuitive eating counselor. She's the author of the brand new book The Wellness Trap: Break Free from Diet Culture, Disinformation, and Dubious Diagnoses and Find Your True Well-Being  and the amazing book Anti-Diet: Reclaim Your Time, Money, Well-Being, and Happiness Through Intuitive Eating. She's also the producer and host of two podcasts, Rethinking Wellness and Food Psych, which have helped tens of thousands of listeners around the world think critically about diet and wellness culture and develop more peaceful relationships with food.  Something really important to know: if you're thinking this is going to be an episode totally bashing wellness — that is NOT what this is. Christy is encouraging us to expand our critical thinking skills and hold multiple truths at once. This is 100% a WANTcast episode for people who are wellness devotees, for people who can't stand (or at least are super skeptical of) what's become of the wellness world, and for all the people in the middle. If you listen to one pod this week, make it this one. IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT: The difference between misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation How social media's algorithms can lead you down more extreme, risky paths without even intending to Why the wellness industry is so enticing and, at times, can seem way more "trustworthy" to us (even if that's not always the case)  How to intentionally and mindfully make space for wellness practices and alternatives you love and find useful How to determine what's helpful, what's harmful, and what deserves a second look What to say to a friend who might have fallen down a dangerous rabbit hole How you can reinvision what "living well" actually means and SO MUCH MORE. ABOUT THE WELLNESS TRAP: The Wellness Trap delves into the persistent, systemic problems with that industry, offering insight into its troubling pattern of cultural appropriation and its destructive views on mental health, and shedding light on how a growing distrust of conventional medicine has led ordinary people to turn their backs on science. Weaving together history, memoir, reporting, and practical advice, Harrison illuminates the harms of wellness culture while re-imagining our society's relationship with well-being.   SHOW NOTES: Buy The Wellness Trap: Break Free from Diet Culture, Disinformation, and Dubious Diagnoses and Find Your True Well-Being   Buy Anti-Diet: Reclaim Your Time, Money, Well-Being, and Happiness Through Intuitive Eating Rethinking Wellness Food Psych Christy's website Christy's newsletter Christy on IG Follow Katie on Instagram Leave a review on iTunes (and subscribe to the WANTcast if you haven't already!)

When you're feeling down about your body, that feeling can take over — and turning it around can be a lot more complicated than just saying positive affirmations about the skin you're in. How do we move beyond our ideas of what positive body image (and even "body positivity") should look like, and work toward something greater and long-lasting? Today's guest is Chrissy King, author of THE BODY LIBERATION PROJECT: How Understanding Racism and Diet Culture Helps Cultivate Joy and Build Collective Freedom. In this episode, we talk about: What the difference is between body image, body neutrality, body positivity, and body liberation Why "loving your body" is so freaking hard to do — from both an emotional and societal standpoint What body liberation actually FEELS like (and how you can take steps to get there) How to recocile conflicting thoughts/feelings about your body and the way it should or shouldn't be Why Chrissy says you might experience a grief or mourning of your body while working toward body liberation How to deal with other people's triggering comments ...and more!

Everyone has a sensitive side, but nearly one in three people have the genes to be more sensitive than others, both physically and emotionally. They tend to be big hearted, creative, and wired to go deep. Yet society tells them to hide the very sensitivity that makes them this way. Today's guest is Jenn Granneman, author of the new book SENSITIVE: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World. In this episode, we will talk about: What it actually means to be a sensitive person and a highly sensitive person How to navigate the world on whatever level of the sensitivity spectrum you fall on The (genius!!) word Jenn suggests to describe "sensitive," especially when explaining your sensitivity to others How to avoid feeling bitter about others' lack of sensitivity How to pre-manage events you know will be harder on your sensitivity (ie parties or a day at the office) Why certain self-care practices might work the opposite way you intend them to work for sensitive people, and why some might actually work way better and more efficiently and so much more!! Take notes, pass this along to another highly sensitive (or as I call it, spongy) person in your life, or maybe even give it to a loved one to help them understand your own sensitivity.
