What if I told you that doing all the right things might be exactly what’s keeping you stuck?

In this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I’m ripping the bandaid off the performative wellness world and digging into a question that’s been simmering for a long time: Why are we still sick in a world overflowing with solutions? From the powders to the protocols to the morning routines with five steps before breakfast, we’ve lost touch with what healing really means. I’ve lived it. I’ve done it all. And guess what? It wasn’t the trendy stuff that moved the needle—it was the messy basics.

Join me as I break down the toxic pressure of “doing wellness right,” the guilt spiral we fall into when we miss a meditation or skip a supplement, and how the $300 wellness haul can’t make up for a dysregulated nervous system and emotional exhaustion.

This isn’t about bashing wellness—it’s about reclaiming it. About stripping away the noise so you can start tuning into your body, your needs, and what actually works for YOU.

So if you’re sitting in a pile of powders and promises and wondering why you still feel like crap—you are not broken. You're buried under noise. Let’s change that. 💥

*** Sensitivity Warning***** On this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I sit down once again with the incredible Erynne Erdtsieck, founder of Mental Skincare. After watching her mom struggle with depression and ultimately losing her mother to suicide Erynne is on a mission to recognize those who need help but might not know how to ask for it. Erynne’s story is one of heartbreak, healing, and fierce purpose. Through her pain she created something beautiful. Her mantra? “Small steps are big steps in the right direction.” And trust me, she’s walking the walk.

Erynne opened up about the years-long journey it took to develop her SPF lip care line—products born out of her own experience with lip cancer radiation and her drive to make mental health part of the everyday conversation. From lip glosses and scrubs, each item is tied to a deeper message. Even better? 5% of all proceeds go to mental health charities.

But what really hit home was her powerful perspective on self-care. It’s not just a trend—it’s science-based. Erynne’s exploring the neuroscience behind simple rituals like applying lip gloss and how they can positively impact your mood, your mindset, and even your nervous system. When your world feels heavy, these small actions create space for healing.

If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please know you’re not alone. You can call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline anytime, day or night. There is always help. There is always hope.

This conversation is your reminder that healing takes time, grief has no timeline, and strength comes in many forms—including asking for help. 💗

You can find Erynne at mentalskincare.com or on Instagram @mental.skincare. And if you haven’t listened to Episode 21 link here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2400119/episodes/15715858-21-erynne-erdtsieck-a-journey-of-loss-to-light.mp3?download=true , go back and hear the beginning of her journey.

On this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I’m joined by Austin Page, the founder of GymFlow Coaching—fitness coach, mindset mentor, and living proof that rock bottom can be the foundation for your biggest comeback. We dive into Austin’s wild, raw, and brutally honest story that starts in a small Virginia town with a cycle of partying and ends with titanium-filled legs, a shredded six-pack (eventually), and a whole new lease on life.

Austin walks us through the night that changed everything—Mother’s Day 2010—when a car crash after a party landed him in the hospital with crushed legs, sepsis, and a giant black hole in his stomach (yes, literally). What followed was six weeks in the hospital, three months in a rehab center, and a whole lot of mirror moments that forced him to ask: "How the hell did I get here?" and more importantly, "What am I going to do about it?"

From curling Gatorade bottles in a wheelchair to building a coaching empire, Austin takes us step-by-step through how he built his body, mind, and life back with grit, consistency, and a whole lot of sweaty gym sessions. We talk about the power of small wins, creating a new identity one rep at a time, and asking yourself—what would your future self do?

Austin also shares his thoughts on mental toughness, why we’re not meant to live a stress-free life (ugh, if only), and how controlling the controllables can change everything. Whether you're currently stuck in a comfort zone or crawling your way out of one, this episode is a masterclass in how adversity can shape you—if you let it.

So, if you’ve ever felt like you were spiraling, stuck, or just tired of your own BS—this one’s for you. Austin is the reminder that we are not our worst moments, but what we choose to do after them.

And remember—we’re only as good as the example we set. It’s not about what we say, it’s about what we do. Thanks for tuning in, and as always—keep it messy. 💪✨
