We all need a friend we can talk to about anything. But it’s not always easy to find people who are willing to open up about pretty much anything. Allow me to be that friend. This is a podcast where no topic is off-limits, and we swap judgment for aiming to understand and relate to each other. Let’s just talk about life--the messy parts, and the pretty parts, and the in-between. We’ll talk self-love, mental health, relationships, body image, and so much more! Have a topic you wanna bring on? Pitch your idea to me over on Instagram @laurenmkendrick.

This is a really important question to explore, especially if you’ve engaged in dieting behaviors in the past and struggled to stay consistent.
Why is it so hard to stick to a diet? That’s also a question we’ll explore in this episode.
Short answer-if dieting interferes with the quality of your life, it may not be the best option for you. What can you do instead?
Let’s chat! Dive into the episode now :)

Whether you’re working towards a weight loss goal, health improvement, or something else..do you ever take the time to consider why you desire the change, and what you’ll get out of it?
Feeling uncomfortable in your body may serve as short-term motivation for wanting to make changes. So say you put on an outfit in the morning, look in the mirror, and you’re just like…”ugh, I need to lose weight”. Maybe you try to eat healthier that morning, maybe you hire a coach that day, or maybe you even commit yourself to a really strict lifestyle change...because you’re trying to take action, right?
Your mind is in the right place...and in this episode I share where you’re likely going wrong, and how you can actually become a pro at creating habit changes that actually stick.
Here are the journal prompts from the episode:
- Why do I want to make changes to my body, or my habits? What’s behind this desire?
- What’s my overall vision...how will my life change once I make these changes?
- What does my dream life look like? And who am I as I show up in my dream life?

Do you ever feel like your body can sometimes dictate the kind of day you have? Like on the days where your clothes are fitting perfectly, you’re suddenly more confident and at ease with yourself? And then on days where you feel more out of touch, and your body feels more foreign...you feel more agitated and less confident? In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how you can learn to love your body at all stages, and not allow how you feel about what you see in the mirror to run your life.
We'll also discuss the ways your body changes throughout your life, and how to be more accepting of those changes.

Hello hello! I’m finally back with a brand new episode of the podcast. I took a bit of a hiatus to focus on our move from Las Vegas to Japan. But not to worry...weekly episodes are starting back up again soon!
In the episode I talk about where the All or Something brand is headed, and the mission of this podcast. I’m making some changes in hopes that you can really get something out of each & every episode. I want to make it super accessible for women to heal their relationship to food and their bodies, and this podcast is one of the major ways of making that happen!
Dive in so you can hear all about:
- Why I decided to change direction again, and how I finally discovered my sweet spot
- What changes you can expect from the podcast (hint: free coaching each week!)
- When I’m officially relaunching the business & why
Enjoy!

This year has impacted not just our physical health, but our mental health as well. And while self-care used to feel like a luxury, it’s now moving into the realm of necessity.
Self-care can seem like an abstract tool for some, especially because it’s just another trending topic. But the practice of self-care (and the benefits) differ from person to person, which is what we explore in this episode.
So what’s your version of self-care? And how can self-care make a difference in how you show up in your life and business? Let’s chat about that!
After you listen to the episode, let’s continue the conversation over on Instagram. You can find me there @laurenmkepler. Tell me your biggest “aha” moments and takeaways from this episode! I always love to hear from you.

This week I’m excited to bring you our very first guest interview! I know I’ve been saying that I was going to start bringing guests on...and I meant it. It just took me a while!
Elsie B. is a relationship coach and podcast host who experienced a major wakeup call earlier this year when she discovered that her husband cheated on her. She found out right as we went into quarantine, which gave her plenty of time to reflect on everything that went down and decide on her next steps.
This episode is all about exploring the gray areas of infidelity. Is it an absolute deal breaker? Did Elsie and her husband decide to wake up, or break up? You’ll have to listen to the episode to hear Elsie’s story and find out.
You can connect with Elsie by listening to her podcast, or through Instagram @wakeupelsie.

Buckle up, cuz this episode is JUICY. I start out by sharing the story of when we were first dating...and I asked him if he was less attracted to me because I'd gained weight. He said "yes"...and things spiraled out of control from there. How did we get through it?? Listen to the episode to find out!
In the episode we walk you through the journey of wrestling through the challenges of body image as a couple with the opposite struggle. Me putting on weight too easily, and him struggling to put on weight.
Enjoy this honest conversation where we fully cover the struggles of men and women when it comes to body image, and the intersection created from the contrast.
