• Why you keep self-sabotaging: a conversation about trauma, healing and freedom with Carrie Watts 02.06.2026 50min

  This conversation is so good. I sat down with Carrie Watts, author, speaker, writing coach, and host of the Saved and Strong podcast and what started as a conversation about healing turned into one of the most important things I think you'll hear all year. Here's what I know from working with women: So many of you are doing the work. You're tracking, you're trying, you're showing up. And yet something keeps pulling you back. The self-sabotage. The cycle. The feeling like you just can't get out of your own way. What if it's not about the food at all?   In this episode, Carrie and I talk about how unhealed trauma shows up in your body, your relationships, and yes, your weight loss journey in ways you might not even recognize. We talk about the low-buzz anxiety that never goes away, the anger that comes out of nowhere, the disconnection, and the self-destructive patterns that keep so many women stuck. But more than that, we talk about what healing actually looks like. And how it is never too late to start.   This episode is for the woman who has tried everything and still feels stuck. There may be a root you haven't looked at yet and this episode is your gentle nudge to turn around and face it! . .

It gives you calm. It gives you pride.

• Should you fear grey-market peptides? (yes.) 14.04.2026 44min

  Everyone is talking about peptides right now. Your feed, friends, and gyms...are all flooded with the peptide hype.  They are being marketed as quick solutions for fat loss, recovery, and health improvement. If you aren't careful, you can convince yourself that because they are everywhere, they must be worth it.  But behind the claimed "incredible biohacking benefits" we are hearing about everywhere, there’s a much more complicated peptide reality to be discussed. And as a woman who deeply understands the desire to feel better in your body, but also understands science and health, I want to give you some insight on these peptides that you definitely won't hear from your friends and co-workers selling them.   On today's episode i am talking about: What safe peptides actually are (and what they are not) Why what is going on is not even close to “biohacking”  The difference between FDA-approved medications and grey-market products Real concerns around purity, dosing, and regulation And how to truly discern safety standards This is not about judgment.  It’s about making sure that you are informed about the decisions you may be feeling influenced to make about your health.    Listen to this episode for clarity around peptide use so that you feel 100% confident in your health decisions! . .
