If you feel like you have a complicated relationship with your body, food, and eating, you’re not the only one. Mel has gotten thousands of messages asking for an episode about stress eating and body image, which is why she invited a world-renowned expert to talk about this topic with you. Today, Dr. Rachel Goldman is here for you. Dr. Goldman is a nationally recognized clinical psychologist and NYU professor who has spent more than a decade working with thousands of people struggling with stress eating, obesity, disordered eating, and struggles with body image. She has an empowering perspective on body image, weight, wellness, and food, and today she's here to talk about body image and the way food can quietly turn into a coping mechanism. In this episode, you’ll learn how to: -Break the binge–restrict cycle -Interrupt stress-driven cravings -Understand the biology behind urges and overeating -Rebuild trust with your body -Create sustainable, supportive habits without punishment or shame For anyone who feels confused, stuck, exhausted, or unsure what “healthy” even means anymore, this conversation brings clarity, relief, and offers a new way forward, one rooted in understanding your body instead of fighting it. This conversation is grounded in science and offers you tools that actually work. Dr. Goldman will change the way you think about your body, your cravings, and your ability to feel good about yourself again.

Mel calls today’s episode one of the most moving, meaningful, and transformational conversations ever to happen on the podcast. She says it is THE most important relationship advice that she has ever heard and you will ever hear. Today’s guest, James Sexton, is a world-renowned authority on relationships, but coming from a perspective you may not expect. He’s the author of the bestselling book How to Stay in Love. But he’s also one of the top divorce attorneys in the world, which means for decades he's had a front-row seat to what makes marriages thrive – and the reason why marriages fall apart. He’s going to tell you most breakups don’t happen because of something catastrophic. They result from all the little mistakes over time that everyone misses. Today, he’ll teach you what those mistakes are and convince you that a few small changes are the secret to creating a lasting and loving relationship. And unlike most relationship advice you’ll hear, his advice isn’t theoretical. It’s built on what he’s seen thousands of couples do when it’s working… and when it’s not. You’ll learn: -How you can save (or strengthen) any marriage in 10 minutes a week -The #1 thing that leads to infidelity (it’s not what you think) and how to avoid it -How to tell if your marriage is over -The reason relationships and marriages fail -How to argue in a productive way -How to tell if you’re in the wrong relationship -The habits of all successful relationships If you’re single, this is what sets the foundation for a healthy relationship. If you’re in a relationship, this is what allows it to deepen, strengthen, and evolve with you. If you’re suffering from a breakup or a divorce, this will not only make you believe in love again, but it will also give you the road map to create it. This is one of the most important conversations that has been had on this podcast to date. Mel cannot wait for you and everybody that you love or have loved to experience it.
