Have you ever been called a name about your physical body that you wish you weren’t being called, but decided to play it off as a joke instead of standing up for yourself?

In this episode, Tara, Maria and Elizabeth talk about the importance of identifying the true source of our problems—whether it’s a tripped breaker in the kitchen or a deeper emotional wound, such as childhood nicknames that have stuck around too long.

The episode explores topics like inner child work, emotional healing, and how our early life experiences shape our current relationships, especially with ourselves. From fitness to mental health, they discuss how understanding the "why" behind our struggles allows us to fix them at the root, rather than just treating the symptoms.

In this episode:

• A funny story about appliances that weren't really broken—and the life lesson it taught.
• How childhood wounds can show up in adult life, especially as "adult temper tantrums.”
• The importance of finding the true source of emotional, mental, and physical issues.
• Working on identifying the needs of your inner child to bring about lasting change.
• Why we should stop commenting on appearance
• Embracing the parts of yourself that have been criticized and turning them into sources of pride.

“Let’s stop commenting on each other’s appearance. Even if it’s a joke, it leaves a mark.”

You can improve well-being by shifting focus to controllable aspects of your life.

What if what you are trying to control right now is actually out of your control?

Think about a time when you tried to control something that was out of your control. How did that feel emotionally and in your body?

In this episode, we dive into the surprising ways you may have more influence over your life than you realize. We’ll explore how shifting your focus to the things you can actively shape, rather than getting caught up in what’s beyond your reach, can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Maria, Elizabeth and Tara, the healing trio, share personal insights and practical tools while navigating the fine line between what we can influence and what we need to release.

From dealing with unpredictability to the bigger challenges like managing our emotions and external expectations, we break down what it really means to focus on what’s within our power. Whether it's controlling your diet, body shape, or other people's behavior (hint: you can’t), this episode will guide you to refocus your energy on what really matters.

In this episode:

• Understanding what’s in your control vs. what isn’t.
• The “Post-It Note” tool for prioritizing and differentiating between what you can and can’t control.
• Can you control your emotions? Hint: No!
• What do emotions and farts have in common?
• How letting go of outcomes can lead to greater peace and wellbeing.
• The emotional toll of trying to control things beyond your reach.
• A simple and powerful tool for organizing and prioritizing your current life challenges.

In this episode we're dishing out the real talk on food cravings—why they happen and what we can do about them. From understanding the difference between physical and emotional hunger, to sharing tips that actually work (and a few that don't), we’re covering it all.

In this episode:

• Understanding different types of Hunger: Physical vs Emotional
• Diet Culture Myths when it comes to hunger, and why “eating an apple” or “drinking water” might not fix your cravings.
• The Under-Eating Trap: Could your cravings be a sign that you're not eating enough during the day? We discuss how making sure you’re getting enough can be a game-changer.
• Emotions and Cravings: Stress, boredom, and emotions play a huge role in what we reach for in the pantry.
• Is there a perfect diet? Spoiler alert: NO!

Take a moment to think about your cravings. Are they coming from a place of hunger, emotions, or something else? Experiment with different ways to satisfy them—whether it's through food or another activity that makes you feel good. Send us a message on Instagram @wellnessrebranded with what you discover!
