Today, on Living Big Mindfully we are talking self-worth, self-esteem, and confidence.

These three things are foundational for our health and wellness.

Nellie Harden is a wife, a speaker, author, and the mother of 4 daughters who knits together biology and psychology to help people in all ages and stages of life build - or restore – a healthy sense worth, esteem and confidence – from the inside out! Which is key in today’s “influencer” culture!

So, whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or on your own quest to restore these vital components – get ready to listen & learn.

Nellie starts by sharing a bit about her own journey, then we jump in. She helps us understand the what, the why, and the how behind these vital components.

Nellie shares:

And, a framework we can use with ourselves and the young people in our lives.

Nellie packs this episode full with lots of actionable tips and strategies all designed to help build – or restore - a healthy sense of self-worth...

Including tips to help with:

Communication skills
Tips for self-exploration
And strategies you can begin using today regardless of where you are or what has happened in your life...

Of course, Nellie wraps our conversation up with some powerful sage advice.

You know, in all my years of clinical training & experience this is the first time I have heard these often fuzzy concepts presented in a way that makes so much sense. I learned so much and I know you will too😊

In today’s episode of Living Big Mindfully, we are exploring intuitive eating with Deanna Kozarov... Deanna is on a mission to help people realign their relationship with food and take back health and wellness from the diet culture...

Perfect timing as we head into this holiday season. Right?

Deanna starts by sharing a bit about her personal story which takes her back to her teens as she shares more about her entry into the diet world and the effects it has had on her life.

We chat about diet culture, how pervasive it is today, and the mental, emotional, and physical toll many people are experiencing because of it.

Then we take a deep dive into intuitive eating; what it is, what it isn’t, and how we can begin to create healthy relationships with our food again.

Listen & learn about:

How to get off the diet hamster wheel

How to identify the shaming/blaming thought loops many of us are stuck in?

And the number 1 thing you MUST begin to shift - if you’re ready for a change.

We talk about food freedom, the importance of self-compassion, and being mindful about the language we use around food.

Throughout the show, Deanna shares so many powerful tips & strategies including her 3 actionable steps you can begin to use today!

Deanna rounds things off with some wise sage advice – which I totally align with.
This week, definitely check out the show notes – Deanna is offering listeners a special gift - her starter guide: Making Peace with Your Plate - at no cost. So, make sure you grab your copy.

Ep 62: Creating Lives We Love: With Susan Lazar Hart.

Living Big Mindfully

03/11/25 • 57 min

Hello & Welcome! Kate Champion here...

I am excited to share this beautiful, powerful, honestly, life-changing conversation with you.

Today we are talking to Susan Lazar Hart and taking a deep dive into the importance of self-awareness and intentional living, particularly in midlife and beyond.

Susan’s superpower lies in the ability to help people develop transformational mindsets so they—we--can create lives we love.

Susan starts by sharing a bit of her personal story, then she jumps right in asking us to consider some questions:

Who are we really?
What have we learned?
What’s serving us & what’s not?

Susan talks about the importance of learning to align with our personal truth, then having the heart to make choices that truly resonate with our purpose.

Susan helps us work with shame, blame, guilt & regret and she tells us how we can start being the explorers of our own lives.

This episode is packed full of profound questions and sage advice we can all begin using today!

Honestly, there is so much packed into this 50-minutes... Susan is so generous with her time, wisdom, and energy. As a lifelong learner, I particularly enjoyed the questions Susan asked. Questions are important. They help us self-reflect and increase awareness, vital if we want to create intentional lives.

That is exactly what this show is all about: helping – YOU – create a longer, stronger, more intentional life!

More about Susan: Susan thrives on change and enjoys a dynamic lifestyle, alternating between her home in Montreal, Canada, and her nearly 200-year-old farmhouse in Vermont. Her adaptability reflects her commitment to living congruently, embracing new opportunities for growth, and encouraging others to explore the richness of their own lives.
