Episode 15: Body Image, Bigger Pants, & Breaking the cycle

Welcome to Season 2 of The Bets Life Podcast! I’m so excited to be back for this next season! I can’t wait for you to listen to all of the incredible guest interviews and solo topics to come.

To kick off this new season, I wanted to discuss a complicated and important topic: body image. This episode was inspired by the holiday season and my recent travels. I spent the holidays and my long vacation indulging and enjoying every second. I don’t have any regrets, but when I purchased new pants while on our trip, I had some shame creep up about the size that I was buying. This experience made me think about one of my favorite movie scenes from Eat, Pray, Love – I explain more in the episode.

This vacation moment led me to lots of reflection on body image and our ever-changing relationship with our own bodies and self love. While there is a lot of noise about (very) unrealistic or impossible body/beauty standards, most of the time we are our own harshest critic. At the end of this episode, I challenge you to switch the script and focus on ways to love your body.

As always, if you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share, and leave a star rating and review. Thanks!

Episode 57: Feeling Behind in Life? Here’s the Truth You Need to Hear 🥰

If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind, whether it’s in your career, your relationships, your finances, or just life in general, this episode is for you. (Also, trust me, we’ve all been there.) 😅

In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the pressures to keep up, the myth of “being behind,” and the sneaky trap of comparison. We chat about focusing on what you actually want to achieve (not your friends, parents, or society) and the reminder that life’s successes and failures are not linear. I get candid about how these feelings have shown up in my own life, from weddings and babies to career pivots and personal growth, and why it’s beautiful that we all bloom at our own pace. 🌼 

I also share a lovely mantra that I discovered that reframes the idea of “falling behind” and instead helps you fall into your own life. 💓

My voice is still half gone and I’m moving slowly today lol. What an incredible show. I’m always left in awe. 🤯

Have you seen Beyoncé live? It’s so fun to watch her daughter, Blue Ivy, perform too. She’s already so talented (not shocking lol). 👏🏻
