Ever feel like one unexpected curveball—like a new doctor’s food rules or a surprise trigger—sends you spiraling straight off track with food or body image?
In this episode, Brittany tackles the all-too-familiar frustration of hitting a setback just when you thought you were making progress. Whether it’s a triggering comment, a life change, or just a moment of “Ugh, here we go again,” she breaks down why these bumps in the road aren’t failures… but opportunities in disguise.
You’ll learn a fresh way to look at your setbacks—like secret ingredients in your food freedom recipe, and hear a powerful story from a client who thought she had lost all her progress. Plus get a sneak peek into how diet culture sneaks in through well-meaning advice.
If you’ve ever felt like giving up or wondered if your progress “counts” after a step back, this episode will shift your mindset in all the best ways.
A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…
🍳 A recipe analogy that will totally change the way you see setbacks
🚪 What a home security system can teach you about your point of vulnerability
📊 The secret to gathering data from your struggles (without judgment)

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
