50. Healing Your Relationship with Food and Your Body

50. Healing Your Relationship with Food and Your Body

In this deeply personal episode of the EmpowerElle Podcast, I’m sharing my lifelong journey with food, body image, dieting, and learning how to build a healthier relationship with myself without guilt or obsession. From going on my first diet at 11 years old to losing and gaining 50 pounds three different times, I open up about the emotional exhaustion of constantly chasing the “perfect” body - and the realization that even when I reached my lowest weight, I wasn’t truly happy. Today, I’m about 25 pounds heavier than my lowest weight, but I feel healthier, stronger, more balanced, and more confident than ever before. I enjoy my life, I enjoy food, and I’ve finally found a version of wellness that feels sustainable and freeing. This episode is a reminder that you do not have to hate yourself into becoming healthy. You deserve a version of wellness that supports your mental, emotional, and physical well-being - without sacrificing joy, balance, or your relationship with yourself.

48. Dominique Methe: Reinvention, Nervous System Healing & Supporting Mothers Through Trauma

In this deeply honest and powerful conversation, Vero sits down with social worker Dominique Méthé to talk about growth, courage, reinvention, and supporting women through some of life’s most vulnerable seasons. After spending 10 years working on the mental health team inside a men’s medium-security institution, Dominique made the difficult decision to leave the stability of government work and step into private practice - all while navigating motherhood, anxiety, and her daughter’s health challenges. Together, they explore the realities of burnout, nervous system overload, identity beyond career titles, and the pressure women feel to hold everything together. Dominique also shares her passion for supporting women through postpartum struggles, fertility journeys, miscarriage, birth trauma, and motherhood, while opening up about her own healing journey and her growing interest in breathwork and nervous system regulation. This episode is a reminder that success should never come at the cost of yourself - and that asking for help is not weakness, it’s strength.

47. Life Update: Nashville, Wedding Anniversary & Overwhelmed to Organized

In this episode of the EmpowerElle Podcast, I’m sharing a personal life update and taking you behind the scenes of my recent trip to Nashville - from Broadway nights and live country music to celebrating my 8th wedding anniversary with Alex and reconnecting with the joy of slowing down. I talk about my lifelong love of music, the unforgettable experience of traveling with friends for a bachelor and bachelorette trip, finding custom cowboy hats, dancing to Acadian music in the middle of Broadway, and the unexpected moment that led to wedding dress shopping in Nashville. I also share what this trip reminded me about relationships, balance, rest, and the importance of disconnecting from responsibilities to reconnect with yourself and the people you love most. Plus, I give an update on the second cohort of Overwhelmed to Organized and the deeper mission behind EmpowerElle - helping ambitious women create success without sacrificing their well-being. This episode is a reminder that success is not only about productivity - it’s also about joy, connection, memories, and building a life that actually feels good to live.

46. The Missing Piece in Your Schedule: Rest That Actually Works

Burnout doesn’t happen overnight - it builds quietly when you keep pushing without giving yourself space to recover. In this episode, we’re shifting the way you think about rest, productivity, and success. If you’ve been feeling constantly tired, overwhelmed, or like you’re running on empty, this conversation will help you understand why - and more importantly, how to create a more sustainable way forward. Because you don’t need to do less of what matters. You need a way of doing it that actually supports you. You don’t have to choose between being successful and being well. When you start building your life around your energy - not just your to-do list - you create a version of success that feels powerful, peaceful, and aligned.
