79: When Food Becomes More Than Nourishment: Eating Disorder Recovery with Mallary Tenore Tarpley

Sat, 06 Sep 2025 10:00:00 -0400

Mallary Tenore Tarpley shares her harrowing journey from childhood anorexia to her present-day reality as a mother in recovery, exploring the complex relationship between grief, control, and disordered eating.

We talked about:
• Mallary's loss of her mother at age 11 that became a catalyst for developing anorexia as an attempt to "stop time" and feel closer to her
• The concept of "the middle place" in eating disorder recovery—the space between acute illness and full recovery where 85% of people identify
• "slips" are not failures but opportunities for growth and forward movement
• how cultural perspectives on food create additional complexities for those with eating disorders
• genetic factors in eating disorders—we inherit vulnerability, not destiny
• how motherhood transformed her relationship with her body and recovery
• the importance of helping children see their bodies as worthy of respect regardless of appearance

You can find Mallary's book "Slip: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery" wherever books are sold. Connect with Mallary through her newsletter at mallary.substack.com or on Instagram.

078: Motivation Myth & Gym Memberships - Your Guide to Consistency

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 16:00:00 -0400

Motivation is the last thing you need for building lasting habits; instead, identity work and environment design are the crucial elements that create genuine change.

• The gym membership example shows how motivation only gets you to sign up, but doesn't help you show up consistently
• Our brain loves automation and efficiency, making willpower an ineffective tool for habit building
• Knowledge without implementation is worthless – reading books or watching videos isn't enough
• Changing your identity to align with your desired habits is more powerful than waiting for motivation
• Environmental design matters more than willpower – make good habits easier and bad habits harder
• Paid programs work better than free resources because they provide accountability and guidance
• Embodiment – taking physical action on what you learn – creates lasting change
• Your mindset must change before your behaviors can transform consistently

Join my new 6-week program, The Flawthentic H.A.B.I.T.S. Lab, starting August 4th. We'll work on identity transformation, finding your why, science backed and guilt free habit building. It includes six months of accountability to ensure your habits stick. Reach out to me on Instagram @Sunny_Lamba to learn more about transforming your habits for good.

077: Breaking the Silence - Men's Mental Health Crisis with Sunny Chopra

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 06:00:00 -0400

Men's mental health remains stigmatized despite its critical importance, with many men suffering silently due to societal conditioning that discourages emotional expression.

In this episode, I am talking to my first male guest, Sunny Chopra, a mental health coach who transformed his own life by embracing vulnerability, shares insights on how both men and women can break the cycle of emotional suppression.

Topics covered:
• Childhood conditioning sets the foundation for emotional suppression in men
• Unprocessed emotions often emerge as anger, outbursts, or through unhealthy coping mechanisms like excessive alcohol use
• External success doesn't necessarily indicate internal healing—many men appear fine while struggling silently
• The pressure of being "the provider" creates immense stress that can manifest in physical health problems
• Women can be allies by focusing on observable behaviors rather than directly addressing emotions
• Creating safe spaces for vulnerability requires patience and understanding that men may lack emotional language
• Simple practices like journaling, voice recordings, and regular emotional check-ins help build emotional awareness
• Seeking professional help removes judgment and provides essential tools for emotional expression

076: Sleep Like Your Life Depends On it: Reclaiming Rest Through Mindset

Thu, 19 Jun 2025 08:00:00 -0400

Sleep quality directly reflects your relationship with yourself. In this episode, I share how I transformed from struggling with insomnia to consistently getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep without medication, and how you can do the same.

• One-third of adults aged 35-64 aren't getting enough sleep, creating a sleep deprivation pandemic
• Poor sleep is linked to chronic diseases, weight gain, cognitive impairment and mental health issues
• Understanding your "why" for better sleep creates the motivation needed for lasting change
• Auto-suggestion before sleep can program your subconscious mind to help you sleep better
• Brain dumping before bed helps quiet racing thoughts by transferring your worries to paper
• Keeping phones out of the bedroom is the single most important change for better sleep
• Consistent sleep schedules, cool dark rooms, and relaxation techniques support quality rest
• Start with one small habit rather than trying to change everything at once

075: Fat Babies, Skinny Teens: South Asian Beauty Paradox with Dr. Madhu Jawanda and Dr. Navdeep Hundal

Tue, 20 May 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Ever heard "don't go out in the sun" growing up? Those seemingly innocent comments about our appearance leave lasting imprints on how we see ourselves.

In this profound conversation with Dr. Madhu Jawanda and Dr. Navdeep Grewal, we dive deep into the complex relationship South Asian women have with their bodies through different life stages.

Dr. Madhu and Dr. Nav, both physicians with over 25 years of experience and founders of the Avaaz podcast, share their professional insights and personal stories about navigating cultural beauty standards.

From wanting "chubby babies" but expecting teenage girls to be thin, to comments about skin colour and height, we unpack how these contradictory messages shape our self-perception from childhood through adulthood.
The statistics are striking—up to 84% of women experience body dissatisfaction, with South Asian communities facing unique cultural pressures. This dissatisfaction doesn't just affect how we feel when looking in the mirror; it impacts career choices, relationships, and even whether we seek proper healthcare.
We explore how body image issues affect men too, with up to 30% experiencing similar struggles.
We also discuss the truth about trending practices like intermittent fasting (hint: it may not be right for women), examine the real need for supplements, and share meaningful advice for young people struggling with body image.

Your body is beautiful not because it meets arbitrary standards, but because it allows you to experience life. It deserves kindness, gratitude, and recognition for all it enables you to do. Listen in, and perhaps find a new way to view the body you've been living in all along.

074: Three Critical Manifesting Errors You Need to Fix Now

Tue, 13 May 2025 06:00:00 -0400

The gap between what we want to manifest and what actually shows up in our lives often feels frustrating and mysterious. In this episode, I, Sunny Lamba, am pulling back the curtain on the three critical mistakes sabotaging your manifestation practice.

Here are some key points discussed:

• We are always manifesting whether we realize it or not, as our current reality is the result of past thoughts.
• The biggest manifestation mistake is not truly believing in your desires and limiting yourself to what seems possible in your current reality.
• Ask yourself "what would I love" instead of focusing only on visible options.
• Avoid approaching manifestation with desperate or needy energy which creates resistance.
• Change your language from "I want/need" to "I would love to have" or "I'm grateful now that I already have".
• Stop clinging too tightly to outcomes and constantly watching for results.
• Detach from specific outcomes while taking aligned action toward your goals.
• Recognize your worth isn't dependent on manifestation results – you are worthy now.

072: Coffee Date with my Younger Self - A Valentine's Special

Thu, 13 Feb 2025 17:00:00 -0500

What would you say to your younger self over a cup of coffee? In this episode, I went on this unique exploration into that poignant yet inspiring idea.

Picture this: sitting across the table from your younger self, thanking her for her unyielding perseverance and courage. Inspired by a popular Instagram trend, this is my heartfelt love letter to the past versions of me acknowledging the struggles and triumphs that laid down the foundation for who we've become.

Travel back with me to a time:

- when the pieces of my life felt scattered after my first marriage ended,

- when my younger version was frazzled, carrying the weight of societal pressures, yet resilient in her pursuit of love,

- when she was questioning herself at every step, and

- when she was mad at the world and at herself.

I am so grateful for my younger self's persistence. This episode is a celebration of healing and self-discovery.

We journeyed through childhood experiences that shaped us, from the loss of our mom to shouldering adult responsibilities at a young age. These early challenges sparked feelings of jealousy and anger, which I learned to transform through understanding and forgiveness.

I invite you to reflect on your own path of healing. Embrace every stage of your life, reaffirm your self-love and worth, and dance joyfully to the rhythm of your unique story.

I am thrilled to invite you to a free two-day inner child healing workshop to deepen this transformative journey. Join Here

062: Three Key Concepts to Bring Positive Change in your Life.

Tue, 28 May 2024 06:00:00 -0400

What if you could rewire your brain to create positive change in your life. In this episode, I am sharing three key concepts for transformative self coaching in any area of your life. We kick off with our first key concept that our thoughts fuel our emotions that further lead to our actions. We further discuss the second key concept that your thoughts are not real and they have no moral value. The third key concept is to feel your feelings before changing the original thought.

This practice can lead to significant improvements in health, finances, career, and relationships. By understanding the societal and cultural conditioning that shapes our thoughts and feelings, we can release the narratives that hold us back.
Learn practical exercises for identifying and processing your emotions, and challenge the age-old belief that hurt people must hurt others.

I also talk about the power of letting go, the significance of personal agency in love and friendship, and the freedom that comes with surrendering control over the uncontrollable.

Do you ever feel that you are too old to start something new? Or My life is over, I just need to think of my kids?

My guest today is a powerful woman who started a blog, a non-profit foundation, a business, and an instagram presence at the age of 55.

Devinder Maan, a founder of the Saheli Foundation, shares her story of personal transformation, and it's hard not to be swept away by the tide of inspiration.

Upon becoming an empty nester, at the age of 55, she had two choices. She could sit and sulk or take the opportunity to recreate herself. Choosing the latter, with the help of her younger daughter, she started a non-profit (The Saheli Foundation)to empower young children in need. She spends countless volunteer hours spear heading this foundation that has impacted approximately 5000 children directly.

Embracing her creative side she started a blog called Fabulousfiftyfive with the intent to share all that life had taught her.
She also created an instagram presence with the mission to inspire other women. Creating this beautiful community of females encouraged her to do her certification in life coaching through Jay Shetty Certification School.

Be prepared to be moved by her candid tales of motherhood, self-rediscovery, and the beauty of embracing your inner child at any stage of life.

We talked about
- Motherhood and the complexities of nurturing oneself amidst the full-time role of raising children
- Transitioning to an empty nest and pivoting towards new horizons of purpose and joy.
- Delicate fabric of identity and well-being within relationships
- Power of self-love to craft healthy choices and set an example that lights the path for future generations.

Devinder's parting wisdom for the next generation is a lantern in the darkness of social media comparisons: cherish gratitude, embrace your true self, and let your unique magic refine the world with beauty, kindness, and love.

051: Beyond Modesty - Celebrating All Wins, Big and Small

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 06:00:00 -0500

Stepping into the spotlight can often come with an unexpected shadow, especially for women juggling the high-wire act of professional ambition and family life. And in this balancing act, we tend to overlook our achievements.

In this episode, as 2023 comes to an end, I encourage you to reflect back and celebrate your big and small wins. Let's raise our glasses to the achievements we've made, and learn to gently let go of the aspirations that remained beyond reach this year.

This episode is not just a reflection, but a celebration of the tiny triumphs that weave the fabric of our personal growth stories. From the joy of mastering a cat-eye with liquid eyeliner to the transformative silence of a meditation retreat, I recount the steps I've taken towards a more authentic, contented self.

Hear about my Pranayama certification journey, the poignant lessons gleaned from a photo exhibit on trauma, and the pride that comes with fostering my son's independence.

Together, we'll rejoice in the beauty of life's small victories and recognize how every step forward, no matter how seemingly insignificant, marks a milestone in our ever-unfolding narrative of joy and self-discovery.

Connect with us on social media, share your experiences, and let's celebrate ourselves together. Remember, you are worthy of celebrating yourselves!

050: Understanding Procrastination: A Trauma Coping Mechanism

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 20:00:00 -0500

Are you living under the shadow of procrastination, always promising to do things 'tomorrow'? Let's unravel the truth together, that procrastination is more than just a bad habit - it's often a coping strategy for dealing with past traumas.

In this episode, I get real about my own struggles with procrastination and its ripple effects on my entrepreneurial journey. Not only do we dissect this common issue, but we also uncover if our delaying tactics are rooted in past traumas. Just imagine the relief and liberation that comes with understanding procrastination from this fresh perspective.

Ready to break free from the invisible chains of procrastination? Together, we navigate a six-step process crafted specifically to conquer procrastination, especially when it's a trauma response. We discuss the power of self-compassion, taking manageable steps, discerning between safety and comfort, effective time management, and how to stop seeking external validation. Every step of the way, we celebrate even the tiniest progress because big victories are just a series of small wins.

Connect with us on social media, share your experiences, and let's journey towards overcoming procrastination. Remember, a flawthentic life awaits you on the other side of every delayed task.

Have you lost a loved one recently or may be decades ago, but you still can't talk about them without tearing up.

038: Re-Introdution and Why Flawthentic

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 11:00:00 -0400

Hey everyone, welcome back to the 'Flawthentic Me' podcast!

I have some exciting news to share with you all today. We are thrilled to announce that our podcast is now available on Rukus Avenue Radio!

In this episode, I want to take a moment to re-introduce myself and share the story behind the name 'Flawthentic Me' especially for all the new listeners. I am so grateful to have you all as part of this beautiful community!

Who am I?
For those of you who are new to the podcast, my name is Sunny Lamba, and I'm a Certified Life Coach, an NLP Practitioner, an author, and a speaker.

I started this podcast because I wanted to create a space where we can be raw, real and authentic in our life journey of self-love. It's a place to have honest conversations about life, the struggles we face, and the beauty that comes from embracing our flaws.

Why Flawthentic?
The word "Flawthentic" is a combination of two words - Flawed and Authentic. It represents the idea that we don't have to be perfect to be our true selves. Our flaws are what make us unique and authentic.

I've always been fascinated by people's stories and the challenges they've overcome. We often see the highlight reels of people's lives on social media, but rarely do we get to see the struggles and the behind-the-scenes of what it took for them to get there.

Flawthentic Me is about bringing those stories to light and creating a space where we can be real with ourselves and others.

Thank you for tuning in to this re-introduction episode of 'Flawthentic Me'.

Don't forget to check us out on Rukus Avenue Radio and stay tuned for more amazing conversations to come. Until next time, keep loving yourself and stay Flawthentic!
