FOOD IS FEMINIST: DIET CULTURE, SHAME & WHY IT FEELS COMPLICATED What if you are not the problem? Alyssa sits down with Rebecca Thomas, founder of Not Another Diet, to explore how food intersects with household labor, relationships, privilege, shame and women’s health. Women entered the workforce but were never fully relieved of the responsibility for feeding their households. That history still shapes who shops, who cooks, who has time to exercise—and how women experience food. Rebecca challenges the idea that health requires more discipline. Instead, she asks us to rely less on willpower and use more agency to shape our environments, relationships and everyday choices. It is an invitation to get curious & think about what influences your relationship with food. IN THIS EPISODE: • Why food is a feminist issue • Diet culture, body image and shame • Privilege and access to whole foods • Why willpower is not a long-term strategy • How relationships influence eating • Understanding processed foods • Creating boundaries without deprivation • Separating weight from personal worth CONTENT NOTE This episode discusses weight, dieting, body image, food shame and eating behaviors.

   Money Myths That Could Be Holding You Back

   Follow what we are up to in real time on Instagram! (https://www.instagram.com/intheroomonpurpose/) This conversation covers a range of financial literacy topics, including prenups, investing, loyalty, and building a strong financial foundation. It also delves into the importance of understanding where money is going each month and how to build credit without a traditional credit card. Alyssa & Lauren discusses the importance of establishing credit, the impact of inflation on cash savings, spotting financial scams on social media, starting investing with small amounts, thinking about long-term wealth, hiring in business, prenups and major life decisions, and navigating the high cost of housing. Lauren also provides practical advice for taking the first steps in financial planning. Takeaways Financial literacy is crucial for making informed decisions about wealth building and financial planning. Understanding where your money is going each month is essential for conscious and responsible spending. Building credit without a traditional credit card is possible through secured credit cards and responsible financial management. Establishing credit is crucial for managing expenses and insurance costs. Inflation can erode cash savings, making it important to consider alternative investment options. Spotting financial scams on social media involves recognizing triggers and seeking advice from regulated financial advisors. Starting investing with small amounts is possible through recurring investments and automated brokerage accounts. Long-term wealth requires consistent, incremental decisions and a focus on financial stability. Hiring in business should be based on profitability and the ability to sustain additional costs. Prenups and financial disclosure are essential for protecting future financial interests in a marriage. Navigating the high cost of housing may involve strategic location choices and realistic financial assessments. Taking the first steps in financial planning involves creating a balance sheet and tracking income and expenses. Collaborative financial planning with friends can provide support and encourage open conversations about money.

Jen takes us through her experience with trichotillomania beginning at 13, navigating mental health diagnoses as a young woman, building a successful career in healthcare and biotech, raising a family, and eventually reaching the moment when her husband looked at her and said, “You’re quitting your job today, aren’t you?” We talk about what happens when ambition and well-being begin working against each other, the stories we attach to the things that happen to us, and why learning to listen to your body can fundamentally change the way you live and lead.

   Let's Chat: When Self-Doubt Gets Loud

   In this solo Let's Chat episode, Alyssa explores what to do when self-doubt, creative blocks, and uncertainty start to cloud your judgment. Drawing from her own leadership experience, she shares three practices that help her reconnect with clarity: returning to proof, focusing on who needs to hear the message rather than whether it's "good," and separating her identity from the outcome. She reflects on how high achievers often become consumed by performance, productivity, and external validation, losing sight of the people they impact and the purpose behind their work. Through examples from healthcare leadership, she demonstrates how revisiting evidence of positive impact can quiet self-doubt and restore confidence. Ultimately, the episode is a reminder that your worth is not defined by a project, title, or result—and that sometimes the best way forward is to return to the proof that you're already making a difference.
