Episode Details

In this episode, Lisa Bilyeu is joined by health expert, author, and all-around empowering badass Dr. Mindy Pelz. Together, they dig deep into why so many women feel pressured to live up to exhausting expectations set by society… from how we look, to how we show up as moms, wives, and at work. Dr. Mindy shares her own stories and insights from groundbreaking research, showing how these childhood messages quietly shape our boundaries, self-confidence, and relationships (and why so many of us feel “not okay” trying to keep up).

You'll hear a refreshingly honest take on body image struggles, people-pleasing, and the relentless chase for outside approval. Plus, Dr. Mindy offers a glimpse at her game-changing toolkit for helping women find their voice and finally start living for themselves.
