Natalie is joined by Judy this week to chat about the turmoil that comes from identity formation. As two people pleasers, we talk about our need to serve others in friendships and families - sometimes (most times) in sacrifice of our own wants and needs. In this episode, Judy and Natalie talk about their shared experience breaking free from other people's expectations of her and creating her own path to self-preservation.

In another solo episode, Natalie makes her case–backed by science and personal experience–against New Year's Resolutions and other “compensatory” fads that take over the month of January. From the vague goals we feel pressured to make to “Dry January” to the new “75 Hard” and all other crash diets and “cure-alls” the world loves to push on us into the New Year, Natalie will break them down piece by piece to help you find a healthy balance. All in all, reminding you that New Year can bring new beginnings and a step away from old bad habits, but we must be mindful our attention is in the right direction.
