Hello {{first_name}} ,
Can you believe the Super Bowl was already a week ago? It feels like forever ago. Or is that just me?
I'm always in awe of the sheer scale of the logistics behind these massive productions. This year I was especially captivated by the hundreds of people who were literally part of the set, dressed as grass. I sent myself down a rabbit hole reading about that this week. There were between 4-500 people. That had to be such a wild experience.
I have two conversations to share with you. Kimberly Brown takes us through her journey from corporate HR and psychoanalytic training to becoming a meditation teacher . And Susan Hyatt gets real about diet culture, beauty standards, and menopause, sharing what motivated her to write Bare and how she's helping women break free from the rules that were never serving them anyway.
Keep reading for previews of both episodes, plus links to special offers from each guest.
Here's What's Inside This Newsletter
Career | From Psychoanalysis to Mindfulness Inside a Surprising Career Change
Kimberly Brown
The decision to walk away from years of professional training may not feel rational in the moment. Sometimes the path we've invested a lot of time in becomes the very thing standing between us and the work we're meant to do. For those who've spent years building expertise only to feel increasingly misaligned with their field, the question isn't whether to leave—it's how to trust yourself enough to start over.
Kimberly Brown's story explores this tension. After four years of intensive psychoanalytic training that required seeing patients under supervision, undergoing personal psychoanalysis, and completing rigorous coursework, she realized the theoretical framework she was learning didn't match her beliefs about healing. The decision to leave wasn't just about abandoning a career path—it was about choosing authenticity over sunk costs, even when that choice looked like failure to everyone around her.

Diet Culture | Do Menopause Influencers Mirror Diet Culture?
Picture a woman standing in the rain for 30 minutes before breakfast, soaking wet and shivering, because she believes she needs to "earn" her buttermilk biscuit and grits. This isn't a scene from a dystopian novel about punishment rituals. It's a text message from a friend, sent in 2024, proof that decades of cultural conditioning about food, bodies, and worthiness haven't loosened their grip. When life coach and author Susan Hyatt received that message from her traveling friend, she didn't congratulate her on the dedication. She informed her, "you don't have to run in the rain to earn your food."
