Hi friends! In this episode, we have a transformative conversation with Kim Gross, the founder of the 5 Step Power Pathway. Kim specializes in guiding people pleasers and perfectionists toward self-healing and creating meaningful connections.

Together, we dive into the interconnected nature of people-pleasing and perfectionism, exploring the roots of these behaviors and the importance of awareness and responsibility in making lasting change. Kim offers practical advice on recognizing and breaking these patterns, and highlights the peace and joy found in returning to one's true nature. We also discuss the gradual process of healing, addressing the reluctance to let go of ingrained habits, and reimagining an expanded identity—along with finding balance between self-kindness and focused action.

Hi friends! In this episode, I invited Annie Tam back on the podcast and we’re diving deep into a subject that impacts us all, but particularly our youth—societal beauty standards and their far-reaching consequences.In this episode, Annie and I explore the profound effects that societal pressures, social media, and beauty culture have on young people's self-perception and emotional well-being. We'll unpack the troubling trend of youths worrying about wrinkles and aging, often fueled by unrealistic beauty ideals. Annie shares invaluable advice on fostering open communication between parents and children about self-image, the definition of beauty, and the importance of family values.

Annie is a licensed professional counselor and owner of Mend Counseling, who specializes in helping mothers and young adults build self-confidence and embrace their identities. She is also a co-founder of A and K Collective, which provides Momchic renewal retreats for the everyday mom looking for relaxation.

I can’t wait for you to listen as we tackle these critical issues and learn how we can better support our children in developing a healthy self-image.
