    48. Up Your Optimism Game with Charles Inniss
    Sep 23 2026
    In the latest episode of the Healthy Living Doesn't Have to SUCK podcast, host Melyssa sits down with Charles Inniss - a physical therapist turned corporate wellness coach and author of Up Your Optimism Game - to make emotions simple, practical, and trainable. Charles reframes optimism as a muscle you build with reps, not a personality trait you're either born with or not. Together they break down his "emotions 101," the four things driving your stress, and why the mind is the piece most of us skip. Charles walks through the three core "optimism muscles" - gratitude, self-appreciation, and appreciation of others - plus the think, speak, write workout you can do in about five minutes a day. They also get real about why bullying yourself into a health goal backfires…and the kinder, more effective way to actually make it stick. It's a permission slip AND a plan for anyone who's ever felt at the mercy of their own thoughts!In this episode:"Emotions 101" in four sentences The four drivers of stress and the one most of us skipWorking out your "optimism muscles"The 3-step mental workout you can do anywhereWhy bullying yourself into change backfires, and choosing self-compassion instead"Human beings, not human doings" — and finding joy through the journeyAbout Dr. Charles Inniss: Charles Inniss DPT, PC, NBC-HWC is a professionally certified coach through the ICF who earned his doctorate degree in physical therapy at Boston University.

  • 47. Healthy Nutrition for Pregnancy and Postpartum Without the Perfectionism Featuring Nicole Hoskens, RD

    47. Healthy Nutrition for Pregnancy and Postpartum Without the Perfectionism Featuring Nicole Hoskens, RD
    Jun 24 2026

    Registered dietitian, fitness instructor, content creator, and now first-time mom — Nicole Hoskens is back for Part 2, and she's bringing the real talk on what pregnancy and postpartum nutrition actually look like when you're a health professional living it firsthand.

    In this episode, Nicole opens up about navigating food aversions, sweet cravings, and body image shifts during pregnancy, how she fueled herself postpartum while breastfeeding with almost no free time, the game-changing role her husband and support system played, and how she's already building healthy food habits for her 13-month-old son.

    If you're pregnant, a new mom, thinking about getting pregnant, or just a busy person who wants practical nutrition advice — this episode is packed with honest, actionable tips you can actually use!

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why protein + fiber is Nicole's non-negotiable power duo (and why only 5% of Americans hit their fiber goals)
    • How Nicole managed pregnancy cravings the smart way — honoring them without derailing her nutrition
    • The mindset shift that helped her feel good about weight gain during pregnancy
    • Why exercise was her biggest mental health tool — even when she didn't want to do it
    • How her husband and support system made postpartum nutrition possible (and what she wishes more moms would ask for)
    • Pre-conception habits to build NOW — before you're even pregnant
    • Baby-led weaning vs. purees — what Nicole did, and how she's transitioning her son to family meals
    • The snack drawer trick that saved her nutrition at 2am postpartum
    • Why protein bars went from "never" to "always" in her postpartum bag
    • Simple meal planning strategies for busy parents
