“Mindfulness can help create space between impulse and action”- Stefanie Dougherty
In this soul-nourishing episode of the Green Glow Lifestyle Podcast, Kylie welcomes back her cousin and plant-based chef Stefanie Dougherty (@greensagelife) for a deep dive into the power of mindset and mindfulness in everyday life. What started as a casual cousin convo turned into a thought-provoking discussion on how simplifying your habits, honoring your energy, and practicing presence can lead to profound transformation—from your health to your to-do list.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by wellness advice, stuck in autopilot, or navigating your own healing journey, this episode will leave you grounded, inspired, and armed with tangible tools to slow down, tune in, and move forward.

- Why redefining success can help you sleep better and stress less
- Stefanie’s truth-bomb: Saying no to one thing is saying yes to another
- Simple daily practices to help you stay aligned with your goals
- A powerful mindset reframe for anyone trying to change habits or improve their health
