In this episode, I sit down with longtime friend, fitness coach, and founder of Bump ‘n Thrive, Lauren Seib, for an honest, deeply personal conversation about body image, burnout, motherhood, and reclaiming self-trust.

From our early days in the magazine industry navigating eating disorders and perfection culture, to building empowered lives as mothers and entrepreneurs, we explore how our relationship with our bodies evolves — and how we can break generational cycles around food, fitness, and self-worth.

We talk about:

• Recovering from eating disorders and burnout
• Redefining fitness after motherhood
• Strength training as empowerment, not punishment
• Breaking “almond mom” culture
• Body autonomy, cosmetic choices, and reclaiming your body
• Alignment, boundaries, and the motherhood “BS meter”
• Teaching our daughters a new relationship with strength and self-love

This is a raw, funny, heartfelt conversation about choosing yourself, listening to your body, and building a life that feels aligned — not performative. ✨ If you’re a mother, a cycle-breaker, a recovering perfectionist, or a woman learning to trust her body again, this episode is for you.
