I started lifting to relieve stress and look good when I was a college student at UCLA. Then came bulking, cutting, and chasing strength. Now, hosting Her Health Method has changed how I think about fitness, food, and longevity...and what I want for myself and the people I love.

Success isn't about never failing and being perfect. It's about learning how to get back up every single time you fall down. In this episode, we talk about why the most successful people aren't necessarily the most talented, disciplined, or perfect...they're the ones who know how to recover. They've learned how to move through failure, rejection, setbacks, burnout, and moments of self-doubt without allowing those moments to define them. Perfection keeps you afraid of falling. Resilience teaches you that falling is part of the process. If you've been feeling behind, discouraged, or frustrated because things haven't gone according to plan, this episode is your reminder: you don't need a perfect journey to create an extraordinary life. You just need to keep getting back up.

What if love isn't just something we want but something our bodies actually need to survive and thrive? In this episode, UCLA developmental psychologist, Dr. Bonnie Goff, breaks down the science of love, attachment, childhood adversity, and human connection. Drawing from decades of developmental psychology research and her own extraordinary experience growing up in a cult Dr. Goff explains how our earliest relationships can shape our brains, our health, our self-worth, and even the people we choose to love later in life. We explore many famous studies (one of them being the "Rabbit Effect") that teach us about the developing brain, why chronic loneliness can have serious consequences for our physical health, and how stress can affect the way parents connect with their children. From dating and heartbreak to motherhood, generational cycles, and self-worth, this conversation reveals just how deeply being loved and feeling connected can shape who we become.
