Prepare for an episode with so much realness you may find yourself nodding along the entire time. Today’s guest, Sammi Tatarsky, chats on all things anxiety, mental health, therapy, and disordered eating all while sharing her own experiences (and I even share mine too!) Although anxiety is commonly seen as a struggle for late teens and adults, Sammi shares the backstory of her anxiety and how it started when she was merely a child in elementary school. This journey through the years of anxiety and school leads to Sammi sharing her thoughts on therapy and I hop into the conversation to share my experience with EMDR therapy. The discussion on mental health explores why it’s seen as ‘taboo’, how to support mental health, and what practices Sammi utilizes on a daily basis. In this she shares her experience with disordered eating, navigating college diet culture, and battling body dysmorphia as well as what finally pulled her from that lifestyle. It’s a loaded episode with so many inspirational tidbits to take away so listen close and let us know what you think! Find us on instagram: Sammi @_sammibrooke and me @emilyfeikls

Learning To Pivot When Things Change and Understanding Your Vision with Kat Harris

We all know that with change comes growth but that doesn’t make it any easier to accept when life suddenly goes off course. It’s easy to make a plan, follow that path, and live life with no scary change or risky decisions but that doesn’t bring growth and today’s guest, Kat Harris, can attest to this. When she decided to forgo the traditional path set before her, Kat embarked on a new journey full of change, growth, and the unknown. This new journey would lead Kat to become a dual entrepreneur as she created her own photography business as well as a then fashion blog now wellness space known as The Refined Woman. Kat’s mission is to support others as they understand their vision; grow into their authentic selves; and redefine what it means to be a woman in the present age. Her work includes mental health, relationships, self confidence, imposter syndrome, and connecting with one’s innermost self.

A New Approach to Health, Embracing Your Skin, and the Benefits of Being Single with Kennedy Haffner

It’s a rare concept in today’s society to see food as nothing more than nourishment; our bodies as a vehicle for life rather than an object; and to embrace our skin with flaws. Somehow though, today’s guest, Kennedy Haffner, has done it all and shares her wisdom in this interview. Kennedy shares how her childhood in a health conscious home actually kept her from falling prey to disordered eating, poor body image, and the obsession with health that so many face in modern day. We discuss the difference between her upbringing and my entry into the ‘health’ scene to show where I stumbled upon the unhealthy version of ‘health’ that impacted my life. Kennedy also delves into her skin journey and the emotional process she went through to accept her acne and learn to truly care for her skin. We wrap things up with a discussion on relationships and how to become comfortable with our most crucial relationship, that with ourselves. In this Kennedy shares how she plans her own adventures, travelling solo, and learning to be okay with being single. To connect with Kennedy find her on instagram @thehealthyhaff and I’m @emilyfeikls
