Glennon Doyle’s podcast, We Can Do Hard Things, is an extension of the themes explored in her book Untamed. The podcast delves into the core messages of Untamed, such as breaking free from societal expectations, finding one’s voice, and embracing imperfection. Glennon uses the platform to discuss the same issues highlighted in her book — food, body image, identity, and motherhood — through candid conversations with her sister and guest experts. Each episode reinforces the central premise of Untamed: that living authentically requires us to reject societal cages and trust our inner selves.
Why Laura Recommends It:
Like Laura’s approach, Untamed champions the idea that healing starts when you stop abandoning yourself and start honoring your feelings, needs, and instincts — without apology.
Reflection:
Notice where you might be following “rules” that don’t actually serve you — and imagine what trusting yourself instead would feel like.
- The Appetites Podcast by Opal
https://open.spotify.com/show/4PwUKPO9PshK03Ov9HGwyJ?si=2ac62eb6bca541d7
The Appetites Podcast dives deep into the complexities of eating disorders, body image, intuitive eating, and how social systems impact individual healing. It challenges the harmful messages of diet culture and makes space for body trust and emotional recovery.
Why Laura Recommends It:
Laura shares the same philosophy: healing is not about controlling your body — it’s about reconnecting with it. Appetites reinforces the idea that full recovery means addressing both personal struggles and the broader cultural messages around food and worth.
Action Step: Start paying attention to how diet culture shows up in your daily life — and begin consciously choosing body kindness instead.

https://open.spotify.com/show/1CfW319UkBMVhCXfei8huv?si=c3615b846c874632
Mindfulness and emotional well-being don’t have to feel intimidating or unreachable. In 10% Happier, Dan Harris offers realistic, down-to-earth strategies for building more presence, resilience, and compassion — without pressure to be “perfect” at it.
Why Laura Recommends It: This podcast supports the idea that small, mindful moments matter. It’s not about achieving some ideal; it’s about meeting yourself with curiosity, breath by breath, and building self-trust over time.
- The Wellness Trap with Christy Harrison
https://open.spotify.com/episode/2KzT5l9LVQUYPm6T7C6KC8?si=dgoyJNwOSlCTATyfPmaK3Q
Modern “wellness culture” can sometimes create more harm than healing. The Wellness Trap uncovers how misinformation, fear-based marketing, and rigid health trends can actually undermine physical and mental well-being.
Why Laura Recommends It:
At Laura Cipullo Wellness, we believe in true health — not trends. Christy’s work echoes Laura’s commitment to evidence-based care, rejecting fear and shame, and helping clients find a sustainable, joyful relationship with food and body.
Mindset Shift: Before adopting any new health habit, check in: Is this coming from fear — or from self-care?
Healing is not about chasing perfection. It’s about trusting yourself, nourishing yourself, and choosing compassion over criticism — day after day.
By tuning into these conversations, you’re building a foundation for real, lasting wellness — not because you’re changing who you are, but because you’re finally honoring who you’ve been all along.
