#203 - Who Said You Had To Be Perfect To Be Well? With Dr. Kim Howes If you've ever thought, “I'm not feeling my best because I'm not doing all the things right,” this episode is going to hit. Because somewhere along the way, a lot of high-capacity people accepted the idea that wellness equals doing all the things - just right. Perfect routines. Perfect mindset. Perfect food. Perfect supplements. Perfect activity. Perfect body.  And that? That's exhausting. And... It's a lie. In this episode of Pretty Well, I sit down with Dr. Kim Howes to unpack the quiet pressure so many of us carry: the belief that feeling great requires us to be perfect. And we get very honest about how that belief is keeping you stuck in cycles of over-functioning, analysis paralysis, and never quite feeling like you're “there.”  This is not a fluffy “just love yourself more” conversation. It's nuanced. Grounded. Practical. And if you're someone who does all the right things but still feels like you're failing at them? You're going to feel very seen. In This Episode, We Cover: [02:10] The Real Roots of Perfectionism  Dr. Howes breaks down how perfectionism isn't about high standards — it's often about protection. Protection from rejection. Criticism. Not feeling enough.  You'll start to recognize how this pattern may have quietly shaped your relationship with food, productivity, health, and even rest. [07:45] The Hidden Cost of “Doing Everything Right” We talk about the mental load of constantly trying to optimize yourself — and why it creates more nervous system activation than progress.  If you've ever thought: “Why am I still tired?” “Why doesn't this feel easier?” “Why do I feel behind even when I'm ahead?” This section will hit. [14:30] When Wellness Becomes Another Performance There's a difference between supporting your health and performing your health. We unpack how wellness culture can subtly reinforce the idea that you are only as good as your discipline. And how that belief undermines self-trust over time. [21:55] Self-Compassion (Without the Eye Roll) Not the soft, vague version. The evidence-based, nervous-system-regulating, behavior-changing version.  Dr. Howes explains why self-compassion actually increases accountability and follow-through — instead of making you complacent. This is the part most high achievers misunderstand. [29:40] How to Interrupt the “Never Enough” Loop We get practical here. What to say to yourself in real time. How to catch the inner critic before it runs the meeting. How to build standards without building shame. Small shifts. Big relief. Why This Episode Matters Because if you secretly believe: I should be further by now I shouldn't struggle with this If I were stronger, I'd have figured it out …then perfectionism is likely running more of your life than you realize. And the irony? The more you chase perfect wellness, the further you drift from actually living the life you love. This conversation isn't about lowering your standards. It's about removing the internal pressure that's keeping you tense, reactive, and quietly dissatisfied — even when you're doing everything “right.” If this episode resonates, share it with someone else who holds themselves to impossible standards. And if you're ready to stop performing wellness and actually feel amazing — this is where to start.

What if the world of finance was never designed with women in mind?  In this special episode, Mel sits down with Lawsie to talk about her new book, Dare to Be Wealthy and the deeper truth behind why wealth still feels uncomfortable, taboo or "not for us" for so many women.  This isn't just a conversation about investing, debt or super. It's about the subtle messages women absorb over a lifetime that shape how we earn, spend, save and dream, often without even realising it.  Mel shares the personal experiences she's never spoken about publicly before, why she believes women need a financial revolution, and the biggest myths keeping women from building real financial independence.  We also explore the things traditional finance books never talk about including hormones, ADHD, shame, reinvention, and why so many capable women still believe they've left it too late.  If you've ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or quietly unsure whether wealth is really "for you," this episode is your reminder that it is.  And that it's never too late to begin.  In This Episode, We Cover  • Why the word dare matters and why wealth can still feel rebellious (or shameful or icky) for women  • The hidden money messages women absorb growing up  • Why shame keeps so many women stuck in debt or inaction  • The biggest misconception about investing (and why it's simpler than you think)  • How hormones, ADHD and life transitions affect financial decisions  • Why financial independence is about choice, not greed  • What Mel hopes women feel when they finish Dare to Be Wealthy  For more tips and resources, visit us at melissabrowne.com.au, on Facebook, Instagram or TikTok @MelBrowne.Money or send us an email at hello@melissabrowne.com.au.  Links mentioned in the episode are below Dare to be Wealthy: melissabrowne.com.au/books

JJ welcomes back Michelle Reittinger, author and host of The Upside of Bipolar, for a bold, hope-filled conversation that challenges common cultural narratives around bipolar disorder. Together, they unpack "myths" that can keep people stuck in fear and identity-based labels—and invite listeners into curiosity, root-cause investigation, and a more empowering view of symptoms, healing, and personal responsibility. In This Episode, We Cover ·         Michelle's story: diagnosed in 1998, years of intensive psychiatric treatment, polypharmacy, and a breaking point that became a turning point ·         Why a diagnosis can feel like an "answer," but often doesn't explain why symptoms started ·         The difference between a "cluster of symptoms" and an identified disease mechanism ·         Why curiosity (vs. shame) changes everything—especially with intense symptoms like rage, anxiety, and dissociation ·         The "detective" approach: identifying triggers, patterns, and underlying contributors ·         The role of foundational health (nutrients, sleep, nervous system regulation) in emotional resilience and symptom reduction ·         Why suppressed emotions can show up as anxiety, depression, physical pain, or crisis states ·         How identity, victimhood, and relationship dynamics can unconsciously reinforce staying stuck ·         A grounded reminder: do not abruptly stop medications—tapering/changes should be done slowly and safely with qualified support Notable Takeaways ·         Labels can reduce curiosity—and curiosity is often the doorway to change. ·         "Symptoms" are information; the goal is to explore what they're pointing to. ·         The most empowering question isn't "What's wrong with me?" but "What happened—and what is my system asking for now?" ·         Healing can have a social cost: if your "sick role" has been rewarded with attention, protection, or lowered expectations, getting better can feel threatening (even subconsciously).

Fitness isn't about pushing harder at all costs; it's about building a body that lets you live fully, move without pain, and stay independent as you age. I share how our goals naturally evolve over time, why sustainability always wins, and what it truly means to be Forever Fit: having the habits, mindset, and tools to get back on track when life inevitably throws you off. I also share updates on my Forever Fit book and how our coaching approach supports long-term health, strength, and confidence.In This Episode, We Cover:00:00 Introduction: Personal Reflections on Fitness and Change00:16 Welcome to the Forever Fit Podcast01:04 How the Meaning of Fitness Evolves Through Different Life Stages06:01 What It Truly Means to Be “Forever Fit”13:11 Sustainable Fitness Habits vs. Extreme Approaches19:33 January Program Details, Bonuses, and Next Steps23:58 Final Thoughts on Longevity, Independence, and Living WellKey Quotes“When you're in your sixties and your seventies, fitness is more of an entrance policy for your freedom as you get older.” -Maxime.My name is Maxime Sigouin.

What happens when extreme ambition meets an unregulated nervous system?In this episode of Anatomy of a Leader, Maria sits down with John Skelton — co-founder of cult concept store LN-CC, former buyer at Selfridges and Harrods, and founder of mental health project Hearted — to explore what really happens behind high-performance careers.John shares how he rose fast inside the fashion industry, helped reshape menswear, tripled turnover at Harrods, and built one of London's most influential retail concepts — while accumulating pressure, burnout, and emotional overload.This is a conversation about: Extreme talent. Extreme pressure. Identity collapse. Addiction as coping. And the slow, uncomfortable work of rebuilding capacity. Not a comeback story. A reconstruction story.In This Episode, We Cover:00:00 What extreme success does to your nervous system02:07 How John rose through Selfridges and helped reshape menswear at Harrods25:31 The creation of LN-CC and the reality behind building a cult retail brand43:53 Addiction as self-soothing rather than weakness50:34 Why “white-knuckling” recovery doesn't work51:51 How fitness, discipline, and self-awareness helped John rebuild from the ground up54:33 The long timeline of recovery — and why quick fixes don't work59:11 Why high performers often avoid emotional processing01:03:51 Reconnecting with his children after years apart01:17:17 The philosophy behind his new project Hearted01:21:47 What leadership looks like when you stop performing and start rebuildingWhy This Conversation MattersWe live in a culture that rewards speed, output and visibility — while ignoring emotional capacity. John's story exposes the hidden cost of that model. It's about what happens when identity becomes fused with achievement. When performance replaces presence. When ambition outruns regulation. And when rebuilding becomes the real work.This episode is for anyone who has:Built success but felt emptyBurned out silentlyUsed work, substances or distraction to copeHit a personal breaking pointOr is rebuilding after collapseAbout John SkeltonJohn Skelton is a fashion industry veteran, co-founder of LN-CC, former buyer at Selfridges and Harrods, and the founder of Hearted — a project focused on emotional recovery, mental health awareness and honest storytelling.IG: https://www.instagram.com/_h_e_a_r_t_e_d_/

Most businesses are obsessed with one question:“How do I spend $1 to make $5?” According to Jon Davids, that mindset is exactly what’s holding brands back. In this episode of Right About Now, Ryan Alford sits down with the CEO of Influicity and author of Marketing Superpowers to unpack why the future belongs to brands that build movements, not just marketing funnels. John shares how he learned to capture attention before social media existed, why most influencers are broke despite large followings, and how brands can create demand that doesn’t rely on algorithms or ad platforms. In This Episode, We Cover Why paid ads alone are unsustainable long-term The difference between building an audience and building a movement How community connects content to commerce Why “Minimum Viable Concept” beats “Minimum Viable Product” How to own customer demand instead of renting it What brands must do today to stay relevant in the next 10–20 years If you want to stop chasing customers and start attracting them, this conversation will completely change how you think about marketing.

✨Hey! This week looks a little different around here — on purpose.   Instead of our usual rhythm, I'm airing five episodes in five days.   Think of it as a mini-series designed especially for you — curated, fun, and binge-worthy. Fewer cliffhangers, more “ohhh… that makes sense.”   Every episode this week features a conversation from a show I've been invited onto as a guest — hosted by smart, generous people you'll genuinely enjoy listening to. Each episode stands on its own. Together, they create momentum. So if you've been listening here and there, this is a great week to lean in.   Start wherever you want — or (best option) listen in order and let the through-line reveal itself.    Either way, I'd love to hear what you think. Happiest and Healthiest Holidays to you and your loved ones. ✨   Episode Title: Your Gut Is Running the Whole Shebang (Whether You Realize It or Not) Why leaky gut, low stomach acid, and chronic stress quietly shape your energy, mood, and ability to slow aging There's a reason gut health keeps coming back into the conversation - the body has a way of forcing the conversation when it's been ignored long enough. In this episode of Wellness Your Way Podcast, Megan Lyons and I skip the wellness buzzwords and get into the uncomfortable truth: a lot of people aren't “mysteriously” inflamed, exhausted, anxious, or reactive — their gut has been under chronic stress for years, and it's finally showing up in symptoms they can't muscle through anymore. We talk about what leaky gut actually means (and why it's not a fringe diagnosis), how food sensitivities are often created by stress and inflammation, not something you're doomed with forever, and why digestion is one of the first systems to shut down when the body feels under pressure. This isn't a perfect-diet episode. It's a physiology-first conversation about digestion, immunity, hormones, and why the body stops whispering and starts shouting when no one's listening. In This Episode, We Cover: 00:02 – Why the gut is more than digestion (hello serotonin, immunity, and your “second brain”) 06:00 – Leaky gut explained without the fear-mongering (and why most people misunderstand it) 11:00 – Food sensitivities: why everything you love suddenly feels reactive 15:30 – The 3 R's of gut healing: remove, replace, restore 19:45 – Autoimmunity, Hashimoto's, and the gut connection no one warned you about 24:00 – Low stomach acid: when reflux isn't what you think it is 28:30 – Candida, sugar cravings, and the symptoms people never connect to the gut 33:30 – What to add in for a healthier microbiome (without chasing perfection) 36:30 – Fecal transplants, postbiotics, and where gut research is actually headed 39:30 – My real-life self-care routine (the non-glamorous version) The Bigger Takeaway Gut health isn't about obsessing over every bite or eliminating everything you enjoy. It's about creating an internal environment where digestion works, inflammation calms down, and the nervous system isn't constantly bracing for impact. When the gut is compromised, the body doesn't whisper — it compensates… until it can't. This episode is an invitation to stop treating symptoms in isolation and start looking at the system underneath them. Where To Find Me

We get into letting go of old ways of working, saying the hard things, dealing with uncertainty, and what it really takes to lead high performing teams.If you want practical advice on leading through change (and those leadership development skills that actually stick), you're in the right place.We Cover: 00:00 – Introduction 01:12 – Why change is faster (and scarier) than ever 03:02 – Dave Buonaguidi: How to define your true purpose at work 04:35 – Lauren Spearman: Why courage comes before confidence 06:39 – Karen Martin: The untold challenges of confident leaders 07:44 – Kerry Collinge: Directness as a leadership superpower 08:28 – The risk (and reward) of no longer fitting in 09:05 – When growth feels disruptive and what to do next 10:02 – Xavier Reeves: Making bold moves when you feel safe 11:34 – Kerttu Inkeroinen: Quitting without a backup plan: is it ever right? 12:29 – Facing risks (and what you actually regret) 13:09 – Building high performance teams starts with you 14:42 – Why you need to act even if it scares youDon't miss this honest look at what it really takes to lead yourself and others through the messiness of change.

In today's episode, I'm opening up about something I've never fully shared before — my own thyroid journey. Even as a practitioner, I'm not immune to the hormonal shifts, viral triggers, and autoimmune quirks that so many midlife women face. My goal with this episode is to pull back the curtain, remove the shame, and give you a deeper understanding of what can really drive thyroid issues in perimenopause and menopause. I walk you through the symptoms I experienced, what my lab work revealed, how my antibodies suddenly spiked, and the surprising reason why (hint: it wasn't gluten or leaky gut). I also share how I'm supporting my thyroid now, including why I chose Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) and how modern medicine + holistic strategies can work beautifully together. Whether you've been diagnosed with Hashimoto's, you suspect thyroid changes, or you've simply "never felt the same" since getting sick — this episode will give you clarity, validation, and a roadmap for next steps. In This Episode, We Cover: 1. Practitioners Aren't Superhuman (and Why I'm Sharing My Story)  2. My Personal Symptoms  3. The Rollercoaster of Thyroid Health  4. What Actually Triggered My Antibodies  5. How I'm Addressing Thyroid Autoimmunity  6. Hashimoto's vs. Hypothyroidism – Clearing Up the Confusion  7.

In 2026, everything changes as we hit mass adoption. This isn't fear mongering. It's commercial reality. Businesses who embrace AI now will surge ahead. Those who don't will struggle to compete. 2. The Death of Traditional SEO and the Rise of GEO For the first time ever, AI language models are sending traffic directly to your website. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity now cite sources and link users to your blogs. SEO is no longer just about Google. Welcome to Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) – and it is changing the game. You'll learn what kind of content LLMs prioritise, why long-form educational blogs are back, and how to ride this wave while it's still free. 3. How AI Now Determines Whether You Are Trustworthy AI models don't judge you on one post. They scan your entire digital footprint. We break down the four factors LLMs use to decide whether to show you or your competitor in search results. If you haven't been creating long-form content consistently, this episode shows you how to fix that today. 4. The Content You MUST Start Creating in 2026 Forget clickbait hooks and viral trends. LLMs don't recognise them, don't prioritise them, and won't refer traffic based on them. I reveal the exact structure you should use for blogs, YouTube videos, podcasts and social content so you start feeding AI what it wants. Plus: how to actually make your content sound like you (not a robot), even if you use ChatGPT to help write it. 5. The Human Element: Why People Still Choose You AI amplifies your brand, but it doesn't replace it. Your students and clients choose you because of how you make them feel. We talk personal brand, archetypes, energy, confidence and the role storytelling plays in converting the traffic AI is about to send your way. 6. Three Non-Negotiables for 2026 We finish with three key questions: What must you stop doing? What must you start doing? What is the smartest strategic and energetic move you can make this year? You'll hear my honest, hard-hitting answers so you can start planning your 2026 like a pro. You'll Walk Away Knowing: How to prepare your business for the next tech wave How to get free traffic from ChatGPT and other LLMs How to create content that search engines AND humans love How to amplify your brand using AI without losing your unique vibe How to future-proof your business in a period of massive change How to become one of the small percentage of business owners who actually stay ahead Sponsored by Tekmatix This episode is proudly brought to you by Tekmatix, the AI-powered all-in-one business platform for coaches, course creators and entrepreneurs who want their business to scale without the chaos.
