Have you ever found yourself in a situation where all your plans fell apart, and you had to think on your feet? That's exactly what happened to me during a fitness class when technology took a left turn, leaving me with no music and a room full of expectant faces. On today's episode, we march to the beat of adaptability, resilience, and the unwavering strength drawn from our own backstories. I'll take you through that pulse-pounding moment, reliving how I transformed a potential disaster into an opportunity to dance to the rhythm of confidence and encourage others to lean into their strengths.
Join us as we celebrate the hurdles we've cleared and the battles we've won, recognizing that these experiences aren't just memories, but the very music that orchestrates our life's most empowering soundtrack. There's no guest today, just an open conversation about trusting ourselves and our histories to light the way. This is more than just a story about a silent dance studio—it's a call to all listeners, from the middle school girl battling self-doubt to the seasoned gym-goer, to turn up the volume on their personal power anthems and embrace every twist and twirl life throws their way.

Navigating Life's Chaos with Cheez-Its, Friendship, and the "Five Rule" for Positive Living
Turn It Up!
11/26/24 • 24 min
What unexpected impact could a chat about Cheez-Its and dating have on your well-being? Join me and my best friend, a child development and self-care guru, as we navigate the delightful chaos of our open-tab minds. Amidst laughter and randomness, we offer insights and practical strategies for both kids and adults. From the spontaneity of our conversation to the quirky connections we draw between topics, this episode is a playful exploration of friendship and life's lighter moments. Grab your favorite snack, and let's see where this wild ride takes us!
Our friendship has shaped us in ways we never imagined, and through our candid chats, we highlight how vital it is to have people who make us better. We share the value of finding joy in simplicity, whether it's through indulging in snacks or having genuine conversations. As we revisit the concept of our Pretty Powerful Girl program, we stress the importance of empowering each other while also stepping back to enjoy life's simple pleasures. The challenges of life are relentless, but so is the power of friendship to uplift and motivate us.
Ever pondered if a chatbot could replace your best friend? Our banter takes a humorous twist as we consider the quirks of AI and its cultural impact, drawing inspiration from films like "Inside Out 2." But there's more than just humor here; we introduce the "five rule" for positive living to help manage the overwhelming world of social media. Our lively discussion concludes with an invitation to embrace existence, emphasizing the value of mentorship and community through the Pretty Powerful Girl program. Tune in for a blend of humor, heart, and a few practical life hacks!

Join me as I get the chance to discuss my favorite topic with Dr. Charlotte Markey, a leading body image scientist and psychology professor at Rutgers University. We'll unpack the multifaceted nature of body image, which extends beyond mere thoughts and feelings. Dr. Markey sheds light on the significant impact body image has on mental health and social behaviors, as well as the pervasive influence of social media on young people's perception of their bodies.
Learn the art of balancing fitness goals with life's other priorities without sacrificing mental health or personal relationships. Society often pushes us towards unrealistic physical ideals, but we discuss the importance of setting achievable goals that bring satisfaction and well-being. We'll also explore how to love your body while seeking improvement, drawing parallels to lifelong learning and the pursuit of knowledge. This conversation underscores a shift towards valuing strength, health, and nourishment, offering a fresh perspective for individuals at any stage of life.
Dr. Markey shares practical advice on embracing positive self-talk, encouraging listeners to amplify the good they see in themselves. Join us for an enlightening discussion on nurturing self-kindness and transforming body image from a source of stress into a pathway to confidence and acceptance.

Picture this: you wake up one day and everything changes. That's exactly what happened to our guest, Christy Greenleaf, who transformed from an everyday woman to a breast cancer survivor, advocate, speaker and writer. Her raw and relatable journey, which she generously shares, forces us to reflect on the importance of advocating for our health, and understanding that our scars, be it physical or otherwise, are a testament to our strength and resilience.
Christy was diagnosed at age 42 (she's 46 now) with stage 1 HER2 triple positive breast cancer with lymph node involvement and during her journey her husband was diagnosed with colon cancer. She has worked in the disability insurance industry for over 18 years and she suddenly found herself on the other side of the disability world as a claimant. Christy’s superpower is connection. Whether it is mentoring women, advocacy work, or being inspired through sharing other woman’s stories, Christy believes in the importance of prioritizing yourself before your health prioritizes you!
Christy's story is not just about surviving cancer, but also about thriving in the aftermath. With societal expectations of what women should look like pressing down on her, she chose to redefine beauty on her own terms. In doing so, Christy discovered a deep-seated strength within herself, and she encourages each of us to do the same. She also underlines the importance of a supportive community, because we, as humans, are not meant to navigate life alone.
The conversation with Christy doesn't stop at her journey, but extends to her advocacy work and her emphasis on self-care. She shares some practical tips for self-care, such as indulging in podcasts during daily walks and dedicating thirty sacred minutes each morning to herself. Christy's journey is a testament to the human spirit's ability to endure and overcome, and we know that her story will inspire you just as much as it inspired us!
