17 - The Moment She Stopped Trying To Fix Herself | with Olivia Judd Smith

Olivia Judd Smith is a women's nutritionist, movement coach, and founder of The Nourished Woman. Olivia's journey is one that so many women will relate to. She spent years chasing the next fix, pushing through burnout, losing her period, and trying to optimise her way to health, until she realised that the thing she was actually missing had nothing to do with another diet or training program. In this episode she shares her personal story honestly, her philosophy on what true health actually looks like for women, and the one definition of health that genuinely stopped me in my tracks. We cover: * Olivia's personal journey with food, her body, burnout and losing her period * What finally shifted after years of trying everything * What true health actually means * Nourishing and moving like a woman * The most common patterns she sees in the women she works with * How to move from a place of rules and control into something that actually feels free * What she wishes every woman knew about her health Find more of Liv: @oliviajuddsmith_ [https://www.instagram.com/oliviajuddsmith_/?hl=en] Find more of me: @wellwithportia [https://www.instagram.com/wellwithportia/?hl=en] Work With Me [https://sikx4huyd81.typeform.com/to/lWmeHQ97]

16 - 12 Things Recovery Taught Me About Life

Recovery has a way of teaching you things that no school, no book, and no person ever could. This episode is my honest reflection on the lessons that came out of one of the hardest seasons of my life and how they changed not just my health, but the way I move through the world entirely. These aren't just lessons about food or bodies or periods. They're lessons about fear, identity, free will, and what it actually means to live a life that's yours. We cover: * Why nobody is thinking about you as much as you think they are * How your reality is entirely shaped by what you focus on * Why self improvement means nothing without self acceptance * The truth about fear, boundaries, and decisions * Why your body is supposed to change and why that's a good thing * What recovery gave me that I never expected to receive Find more of me @wellwithportia [instagram.com/wellwithportia] Work with me here [https://sikx4huyd81.typeform.com/to/gLjZHB6I]xo

15 - Off Campus Debrief & Why Your Happiness Doesn't Need To Make Sense To Anyone Else

We start this episode with a full Off Campus debrief because if you know, you know and if you haven't watched it yet, consider this your sign. But then things get a little deeper. This episode is my honest take on hustle culture, why I'm so over the glorification of busy, and the epiphany I had recently that honestly changed the way I'm approaching my life and my work. I talk about burnout, chronic optimisation, the pressure to constantly be doing more and why I think the opposite of all of that is actually where the good stuff is. We cover: * The Off Campus debrief you didn't know you needed * Why "I'm so busy" has become a flex and why I kind of hate it * The things hustle culture glorifies that I'm deinfluencing you on * Why your career is not your personality * Burnout is not normal and we need to stop treating it like it is * The journal prompt I do with all my clients and why it actually changes everything Find more of me: @wellwithportia [instagram.com/wellwithportia] Work With Me <33 [https://sikx4huyd81.typeform.com/to/lWmeHQ97]
