In this conversation, Stephanie Mara and Kylie discuss the importance of co-regulation and self-compassion in navigating emotional challenges, particularly in relation to somatic practices and eating behaviors.

After a summer hiatus, I am more than happy to be back with my podcast bestie Ali Damron. This was inspired by some BS we both keep seeing on Instagram. Most of the women we speak to are at the ends of their rope, navigating careers, parenthood, aging parents and perimenopause. Basically running around with their pants on fire. Everyone is searching for the solution, missing what the real issue is: IT'S TIME TO CHANGE. It's time to get brutally honest about what deserves your time and attention and also how you view the world. If only were as easy as taking a supplement. This is going to require some really hard choices. Connect with Ali on Instagram at @alidamron.
