I’m a little late sharing my 2025 Q3 media highlights, but honestly, it’s for the best possible reasons. Life has been full in the happiest, busiest way. My daughter is growing at lightning speed and keeping me on my toes (and then some), and work has been packed with speaking engagements, brand events, and new projects that have stretched and energized me. I also traveled to the Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo in October—my first overnight away from the baby—which felt both surreal and a little emotional. If you want to see what I packed to survive that quick trip, I shared my carry-on snack lineup here: https://bit.ly/Healthy_Travel_Snacks
Even though we’re already halfway into Q4, I didn’t want the season to pass without taking a moment to gather the standout moments from the past quarter. It’s easy to let things move so quickly that you forget to pause and acknowledge what went well, what you learned, and what expanded you. These 2025 Q3 media highlights are a snapshot of the conversations, collaborations, and ideas that shaped these past few months—and I’m excited to finally share them with you.

How To Spot—And Escape—A Toxic Workplace Before It Damages Your Health
This piece unpacked what “toxic” actually means in a work setting and how the signs often creep in quietly—undermining your confidence, stealing your sleep, and eating away at your well-being. Therapist and author Israa Nasir offered such thoughtful insights about blurred boundaries and shame-based leadership, while psychologist Ingrid Clayton, PhD, broke down the “fawning” trauma response and why so many high-achieving individuals fall into it without realizing.
If you’ve ever minimized mistreatment or convinced yourself that things might magically “get better,” this article walks through the red flags—and how to get out long before burnout becomes your default.

- The seasoning tweaks that change everything

Episode 242: Unmasking High-Functioning Depression w/ Dr. Judith Joseph, MD, MBA
This conversation dove into a topic that so many people experience but rarely name: high-functioning depression. Dr. Judith shared powerful insights about invisible pain, the science of trauma, and the pressure many high-achieving individuals feel to “hold it all together.” We also talked through her five Vs framework—validation, venting, values, vitals, and vision—which gives listeners a tangible way to support their own mental health.
Episode 241: My Life Lately: Fall 2025 Update
This solo episode was a much-needed heart-to-heart. A lot has shifted in my life this year, and I wanted to share an honest look at the changes, the messy middle, and the moments that surprised me. Think of it as a coffee chat where we talked about juggling routines, releasing expectations, and figuring things out.
