    Jessica Setnick: Building Eating Disorders Boot Camp + Lessons in Credibility, Coaching & Speaking

    In this episode of Life & In Between, Diana Gonzalez-Lehboub and Patrick Perez sit down with Jessica Setnick (she/her) , a Dallas-based dietitian, author, speaker, and widely respected educator in the eating disorder space — for a conversation that starts with food and expands into a powerful discussion about behavior, culture, access, and the systems that shape how we eat.Jessica breaks down the layered truth behind eating behaviors: what you eat, how much you eat, why you eat, why you don’t eat, and how everything from childhood experiences to emotional patterns to food availability can influence choices more than we realize. She challenges the common idea that we’re fully “in control” of our eating, and instead invites listeners to see the bigger picture — with more awareness, less shame, and more compassion.Then the conversation takes an unexpected (and incredibly valuable) turn into Jessica’s real-life entrepreneurial story: how she built Eating Disorders Boot Camp at the dawn of the internet, how she became known nationally and internationally through education and training, and what it looks like to grow a meaningful body of work step-by-step without hype, shortcuts, or influencer-style promises.We also talk about:How Jessica became an expert “by accident” — by filling a real need when resources were scarceWhy credible mentoring matters (and how to spot coaching that’s all sizzle, no steak)How to build sustainably: start small, keep overhead low, and follow “the next yes”Why it’s smart to listen to the market without losing your integrityThe mindset shift from scarcity to abundance (“we’re not fighting over one slice — we’re making more pie”)If you’re navigating a career pivot, building a practice, mentoring others, or simply trying to understand the deeper “why” behind eating, this episode is packed with insight you can apply immediately.Links to Follow / Connect with Life & In BetweenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifeandinbetweenpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575017665387 TikTok: http://www.tiktok.com/@lifeandinbetweenpodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/life-in-between/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LifeAndInBetweenPodcast Website: https://www.lifeandinbetweenpodcast.com Listen to the PodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4yGWQLlHVj3nzPwgzYXXot Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-and-in-between/id1809054005 iHeartRadio: https://iheart.com/podcast/291557046/Amazon Music (show page): https://podcasters.amazon.com/podcastsConnect with Jessica SetnickWebsite: https://www.jessicasetnick.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/understandingnutrition/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessicasetnick Dietitian’s Guide to Professional Speaking: https://www.dietitianspeakingguide.com/ #JessicaSetnick #EatingDisordersBootCamp #NutritionEducation #EatingPsychology #MindfulEating #EmotionalEating #HealthEducation #Dietitian #DisorderedEating #BehaviorChange #EntrepreneurJourney #ProfessionalSpeaking #SpeakerCoach #LifeAndInBetweenPodcast #CareerTransitions

    Retirement Is Dead — Meet “The AfterWork” (A New Beginning, Not an Ending)

    What if “retirement” isn’t the finish line… it’s just a label we’ve outgrown? Don Akchin breaks down why the after-career chapter can be your most creative, meaningful season—if you treat it like a beginning, not a fade-out.In this episode of Life & In Between, Diana and Patrick sit down with writer and former journalist Don Akchin to talk about the emotional reality of life after a career—and why the old idea of retirement doesn’t fit the world we’re living in anymore. Don introduces the concept of “The AfterWork”: a fresh, modern way to think about your post-career years as a new beginning instead of an ending.You’ll hear why identity loss can hit hard when the work titles disappear, how structure matters more than people expect, and why experimenting (and even failing) becomes oddly liberating when the world isn’t grading you anymore. Don also shares a powerful lens from his book—“planners vs. wingers”—and why either approach can win… or crash… depending on how you stay connected to purpose. Along the way, the conversation gets real about relationships, loneliness, and the kind of wisdom that says: do your best work, but don’t let the work swallow your whole self.Where to find Don (links)Don’s website (best one-stop shop): donakchin.com His newsletter on Substack — The EndGame: theendgame.substack.com His book — The AfterWork: Finding Fulfilling Alternatives to Retirement (Amazon): Listen / watch 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3sBKdruFkbqKZmPpvrrKTo?si=_iES7OEsQ0-PARLqpKc3VQ🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/retirement-is-dead-meet-the-afterwork-a-new/id1809054005?i=1000751060638▶️ YouTube: https://youtu.be/K5Pzlk5jWbI?si=mFiXo_6rSYHzbf2r🎵 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/070e0e82-f222-45d0-9836-78d922968cab/episodes/977476ff-b534-4fd8-b237-22f5bd2a2588/retirement-is-dead-meet-the-afterwork-a-new-beginning-not-an-ending▶️ iHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-life-and-in-between-291557046/episode/retirement-is-dead-meet-the-afterwork-a-new-beginning-not-an-ending-324472432🌐 Website: ⁠www.lifeandinbetweenpodcast.com⁠

    Caregiver Burnout, Disability & Hope: Stephen & Julie Wagstaff’s Story (SwagAbility)

    What if the thing that broke your life… became the very thing that built your purpose?In this powerful, unscripted “cafecito-style” conversation, we sit down with Stephen and Julie Wagstaff—a Canadian couple whose story carries equal parts grit, humor, faith, and hope.Stephen shares the moment that changed everything: August 2, 1996, when a dive into shallow water resulted in a spinal cord injury that left him a quadriplegic at just 19. But this isn’t a story about what was lost—it’s about what was rebuilt. Together, Stephen and Julie walk us through the real journey: the trauma, the resilience, the marriage work, the caregiving realities, and how purpose can rise out of pain.You’ll also hear how their nonprofit, SwagAbility, was born from a season of intense hardship—Stephen’s extended hospital stay, Julie’s cancer journey, and a deep desire to help others thrive where life finds them. Their mission is grounded in practical support—like life coaching, counseling, and assistive/adaptive technology support—and a fierce commitment to showing up for people navigating life-altering circumstances, including caregivers, people living with disability, and veterans.This episode goes beyond inspiration. We talk honestly about:Authenticity (and why people freeze up the moment things feel “official”)Caregiver burnout—the resentment nobody wants to confess, and why it’s normalMarriage and communication (the “3 keys” are… communication, communication, and communication 😄)Hope in dark seasons, faith, and finding purpose when life feels like it’s closing inWhy “pain is pain” and comparison helps nobodyWhat it really means to build community when you feel aloneIf you’re in a transition caring for a loved one, facing illness, navigating disability, rebuilding after trauma, or just trying to make it through a hard chapter, this conversation will meet you right where you are.Keywords / Topics: caregiving, caregiver burnout, disability advocacy, spinal cord injury, quadriplegic story, cancer survivor story, faith and resilience, marriage communication, adaptive equipment, assistive technology, life coaching, counseling support, nonprofit organization, veteran support, Life & In Between Podcast.Connect with Stephen & SwagAbilityIf you’d like to support their mission, request help, or learn more about their resources:Website: swagability.comGeneral support / inquiries: [email protected]: [email protected]: Visit swagability.com and click the Donate button (they use a platform that takes 0% from your donation).Stephen shared that SwagAbility is currently a registered nonprofit in both Canada and the U.S., and they’re working toward 501(c)(3) status in the U.S. to provide tax receipts for donors.
