What if the biggest transformation in your life seems to be the number on the scale? For years, Cindy believed her problem was her weight. She knew her hormones were off. She was carrying more weight than her body needed, and she had tried diet after diet to fix it. But underneath all of that was something she couldn't see yet: a deeply ingrained belief that she wasn't enough. When Cindy took a self-love assessment, she scored negative 54, and that number became a wake-up call. In this episode, Cindy and I talk about what happened when she stopped treating weight loss as the goal and started treating health, self-trust, and self-love as the foundation. We talk about the diet mindset she inherited growing up, the pressure of what women are “supposed” to look like, and how those beliefs can become so deeply embedded that we don't realize they're shaping the way we live. Today, Cindy can look in the mirror and say, “I love myself,” and actually believe it. The woman who originally came to us to lose weight is now a certified nutrition and lifestyle coach, helping other women discover their worth and write their stories of freedom. Conclusion Your goal should be to become more fully yourself, not to become someone else. Health isn't about earning your worth. Weight isn't a measure of your value, and taking care of yourself isn't selfish. Sometimes straightening your crown means keeping your word to yourself, asking for what you need, setting a boundary, or simply remembering that you matter, too.

What if the reason you keep going back to old habits has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with how your brain is wired? We often think transformation starts with motivation. We get excited, commit to a plan, and promise ourselves that this time will be different. But motivation eventually fades. And when change starts to feel uncomfortable, our brains naturally pull us back toward what feels familiar, even when those familiar habits aren't serving us. In this episode, I’m joined by my head coach, longtime friend, and someone who knows this work better than almost anyone: Deb Van Dusen. Deb and I go way back. We were childhood friends who lost touch, then reconnected years later. She initially came to me looking for a body transformation. Today, Deb trains our coaches, develops our curriculum, and has spent nearly eight years studying behavior, change, women's health, and what helps transformation stick. We also dive into one of my favorite metaphors for transformation: butterfly soup. When a caterpillar enters its chrysalis, it essentially dissolves into a soup before becoming something completely new. To become a butterfly, the caterpillar has to let go of what it was. Conclusion The butterfly doesn't become a butterfly by staying comfortable. Neither do we. Your crown has been there all along. But sometimes you have to be willing to get messy, question what you've believed, let go of the identity you've outgrown, and discover the woman underneath it all.

We spend so much time trying to fix ourselves–changing how we look, buying products, following wellness trends, taking supplements, and searching for the next solution. But what if our bodies are far more intelligent than we give them credit for? In this episode, I’m joined by Warren Phillips, the Non-Toxic Dad, for a conversation that goes deeper than toxins in food, clothing, and homes. We explore the connection between physical toxicity and the beliefs that can disconnect us from who we are. Because whether it’s a chemical toxin or a belief that tells us we aren’t enough, the result can be the same. Warren shares his journey of becoming sick through environmental exposure and then spending years studying detoxification, eventually helping others reconnect with their biology. Our conversation takes the idea of the “corset” beyond appearance. We talk about the cultural conditioning, beauty standards, products, relationships, and beliefs that can disconnect us from our bodies and our sense of self. Creating a healthier environment doesn't mean you have to change everything overnight. Start with one percent, listen to your body, and continue building your own blueprint for the healthiest version of you. Conclusion Becoming healthier is about reconnecting–with our bodies, with nature, with our intuition. And reconnecting with the woman we actually are underneath all the expectations about who we're supposed to be. Remember, your body is not your enemy. You are not broken. Your crown is not broken. Sometimes you just need to stop fighting your biology and start working with it. In This Episode: - Warren’s journey into non-toxic living and environmental health - How everyday toxins can affect your health - Making health decisions from the corset versus the crown - Practical ways to reduce toxins without becoming overwhelmed - When healthy living becomes clouded in fear and obsession - Your body is designed to adapt - Becoming the healthiest version of yourself from the crown Peer-reviewed EWG study finds produce washing options can reduce pesticide residue: -https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news-release/2026/05/peer-reviewed-ewg-study-finds-produce-washing-options-can-reduce Join the BS Club: -https://www.disruptivenutrition.com/bsclub Pre-Order the Book, From Corset to Crown! -Get your copy of "From Corset to Crown" (and I'll also give you a ton of awesome bonuses to make the learning really stick) at: https://www.carrielupoli.com/corsettocrown From Corset to Crown Live Event in Nashville on October 2-4, 2026: -The ultimate girls' trip is on!

Sometimes the number on the scale keeps distracting you from what actually matters. For years, women have been taught to measure their health by weight, appearance, and perfection, but true health is about how you feel, how you show up, and whether you are taking care of yourself from a place of self-worth. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kellyann Petrucci, a board-certified naturopathic doctor, New York Times bestselling author, and weight-loss and anti-aging expert, for a conversation that goes far beyond food. We talk about aging, confidence, comparison, identity, and what it means to make health choices from the crown instead of the corset. We explore how the habits we build can either come from fear or from a genuine belief that we are worth caring for. The goal should never be about just losing weight. The goal has to be about becoming the healthiest, strongest, most aligned version of yourself. Conclusion Health is not about punishment or perfection. It’s about choosing habits that allow you to show up fully for your purpose, your family, and your future. The number on the scale doesn’t determine your value. The way you choose to care for yourself does. In This Episode: - The corset, the crown, and redefining self-worth - Why health is about more than weight loss - How Dr. Kellyann pursued her calling - Balancing success, aging, and the pressure women carry - Breaking free from comparison and the scale - Health as a vehicle for purpose and a meaningful life - Choosing self-worth over chasing perfection - Making informed choices in the wellness industry Join the BS Club: -https://www.disruptivenutrition.com/bsclub Pre-Order the Book, From Corset to Crown! -Get your copy of "From Corset to Crown" (and I'll also give you a ton of awesome bonuses to make the learning really stick) at: https://www.carrielupoli.com/corsettocrown From Corset to Crown Live Event in Nashville on October 2-4, 2026: -The ultimate girls' trip is on!

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn’t your body, your habits, or even your circumstances, but the story you keep telling yourself about who you are? In this episode, I’m having a conversation with my good friend Courtney Townley, keynote speaker and author of The Consistency Code. We’re pulling back the curtain on our upcoming From Corset to Crown event, but more importantly, we’re talking about the deeper work women have to do when they’re ready to stop outsourcing their identity and start leading themselves. We get into the stories that feel true simply because we’ve heard them for so long, the difference between doing something from the corset versus the crown, and why taking a risk can be the very thing that builds confidence, self-trust, and a more alive version of your life. Conclusion The stories we tell ourselves can become so familiar that we stop questioning them, but too often those statements are not facts. Your identity is not fixed. It is shaped by what you practice. Every time you choose self-leadership, take a risk, try again, or do something that scares you, you are practicing becoming someone new. In This Episode: - Why we are doing this: our shared perspective - Redefining health through identity, purpose, and self-leadership - The power of being in a room with women who are changing the conversation - Learning to lead yourself while still accepting support - The “truthiness” stories that keep women stuck - Why failing forward is part of becoming who you want to be - What Courtney plans to say at the event - Why taking off the corset is a daily choice - The Consistency Code and where to find Courtney Townley Join the BS Club: https://www.disruptivenutrition.com/bsclub Pre-Order the Book, From Corset to Crown!

What if knowing what you want is actually an act of self-worth? As women, we’re often taught to look outside ourselves for the answers: what we should wear, how we should look, what we should buy, and even what we should want. In this episode, I’m having a very different kind of conversation with Rachel Moscaritolo and Amanda Watkins, the women behind Bespoke by A+R, about jewelry, entrepreneurship, empowerment, and what happens when you stop letting other people tell you what you want. Rather than starting with what is available in a traditional retail store, Rachel and Amanda begin by understanding the individual–her lifestyle, preferences, and what she actually wants. That idea connects directly to my From Corset to Crown message–moving away from pressure and approval and toward self-trust and knowing who you are. I also share the deeply personal story of losing my wedding rings in the ocean and the realization that came from it. Conclusion Losing my rings initially made me feel shame and guilt. But when I found them, I realized the rings weren’t truly lost. I just needed to know where to look. And I think so many women need that reminder. You are not lost. You don't need to earn your self-worth. Your value is already within you, and you only need to "find" it. In This Episode: - How two women turned an idea into a business - Why traditional jewelry shopping can feel stressful and intimidating - Starting with what you want instead of what you’re told to want - How social media and comparison influence our choices - The story behind Carrie’s lost wedding rings - Understanding value, trust, and the jewelry industry - Why the lost rings became a powerful lesson in self-worth - Building community and creating something that empowers women Join the BS Club: -https://www.disruptivenutrition.com/bsclub Pre-Order the Book, From Corset to Crown! -Get your copy of "From Corset to Crown" (and I'll also give you a ton of awesome bonuses to make the learning really stick) at: https://www.carrielupoli.com/corsettocrown From Corset to Crown Live Event in Nashville on October 2-4, 2026: -The ultimate girls' trip is on!

What happens when life changes direction and suddenly the things that once felt easy become impossible? A lot of women believe that when life gets stressful, overwhelming, or unpredictable, taking care of themselves has to go on pause. They wait for the storm to pass before they start showing up again. But life will always bring changing winds. The question isn’t whether you keep sailing–it’s whether you know how to adjust your sails when conditions change. In this episode, I’m sharing the exact framework I use with my private clients to help them continue caring for themselves through every season of life, from stormy waters to favorable winds, without abandoning who they are in the process. Conclusion There will be seasons in your life where there’s more space to grow and seasons for rebuilding, but there will be seasons where everything feels overwhelming. Just like when the wind shifts on a sailboat, you don’t panic or stop moving. You adjust your sails and continue forward. In This Episode: - Why life’s challenges are not a sign that something went wrong - Understand the three fundamentals of self-care - Navigating stormy waters: Preserve your energy - Navigating headwinds: Simplify and protect what matters most - Navigating steady waters: Build strength, habits, and resilience - Navigating favorable winds: Expand and create more impact Join the BS Club: -https://www.disruptivenutrition.com/bsclub Pre-Order Carrie’s Book, From Corset to Crown! -Get your copy of "From Corset to Crown" (and I'll also give you a ton of awesome bonuses to make the learning really stick) at: https://www.carrielupoli.com/corsettocrown Carrie’s From Corset to Crown Live Event in Nashville on October 2-4, 2026: -The ultimate girls' trip is on!

For so many women, the search for worth takes us outside of ourselves. We chase the perfect body, the perfect career, the perfect relationship, or the next achievement that will finally make us feel whole. But what if the crown you’re looking for has been there all along? In this episode, I’m discussing what it means to truly straighten your crown, break free from the invisible corset of expectations, and start making decisions from a place of self-trust, alignment, and love. I share stories about my daughter Grace, the parable of “diamonds on your own land," and the acorn-to-oak story to show how our identity is shaped by the stories we believe. When we stop trying to polish the corset and instead recognize the crown we were born with, we can begin making choices from alignment instead of approval. Conclusion The crown was never lost. It was simply buried beneath years of expectations, conditioning, and the pressure to prove that we are enough. Straightening your crown is about returning to the person you were before the world taught you that you needed to earn your worth. In This Episode: - Understanding the corset and how it shapes our beliefs - The diamonds you’re searching for are already within you - Changing the stories that keep you stuck - Choosing alignment over approval - The moment Grace learned she was worthy - A daily practice to straighten your crown - Returning to your true self Mentioned in the Episode: -The Story of You by Ian Morgan Cron: https://www.amazon.com/dp/006282581X Join the BS Club: -https://www.disruptivenutrition.com/bsclub Pre-Order Carrie’s Book, From Corset to Crown! -Get your copy of "From Corset to Crown" (and I'll also give you a ton of awesome bonuses to make the learning really stick) at: https://www.carrielupoli.com/corsettocrown Carrie’s From Corset to Crown Live Event in Nashville on October 2-4, 2026: -The ultimate girls' trip is on!

Are you constantly trying to prove your worth? Maybe it shows up as perfectionism, over-functioning, people-pleasing, or feeling like you have to sacrifice yourself to be a good mother, partner, or successful woman. The truth is, many of us have been wearing an invisible “corset” for years, one that tells us we need to achieve, perform, shrink, or change ourselves to deserve confidence and worth. In this episode, I dive deeper into what it means to move from the corset to the crown and why awareness alone isn’t enough to create lasting change. I introduce the “center,” the space between the corset and the crown, and teach my SNAP strategy. This simple framework helps you recognize when you’re making choices based on old conditioning and makes it easier to choose responses that align with the woman you’re becoming. Conclusion The crown was never something you had to earn. It was always there. The goal isn’t to become someone new. It’s to reconnect with who you already are beneath the pressure, expectations, and stories that have shaped you. In This Episode: - Introduction: From corset to crown - Why awareness alone doesn’t create freedom - Finding the center between the corset and the crown - How your brain reinforces the stories you believe - The "center" practice: using the S.N.A.P. strategy - The hidden power in the word “just” - Finding the freedom you’ve been searching for Join the BS Club: -https://www.disruptivenutrition.com/bsclub Pre-Order Carrie’s Book, From Corset to Crown! -Get your copy of "From Corset to Crown" (and I'll also give you a ton of awesome bonuses to make the learning really stick) at: https://www.carrielupoli.com/corsettocrown Carrie’s From Corset to Crown Live Event in Nashville on October 2-4, 2026: -The ultimate girls' trip is on!

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything for everyone else, yet still feel you're not enough? In this episode, I'm doing a deep dive on the "corset" concept—that invisible conditioning that keeps so many women trapped in people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-sacrifice, which leaves them perpetually drained. After years of helping women transform their health through nutrition and behavior change, I realized that food was usually the doorway to a much deeper issue. So today, I explain what I call the corset: the beliefs we've carried since childhood that tell us we have to earn our worth by looking a certain way, performing perfectly, putting everyone else first, and proving ourselves. I'll share personal stories, client experiences, and the framework that inspired my bestselling book, From Corset to Crown. This episode is the foundation of a three-part series that will help you recognize the conditioning that's been shaping your decisions, so you can begin making choices from your authentic self instead. Conclusion Freedom doesn't begin with another diet or another attempt to become more acceptable. It begins with recognizing flawed beliefs that have shaped your life for years. My challenge to you is simple: identify the first time your "corset" was put on you and how it influences your decisions today.

Every January, millions of us set goals, and by the 17th, most of us have already quit. We've been told the problem is discipline. But what if the problem is having a goal in the first place? In this episode, I'm sharing the five real reasons I haven't set goals for myself for years. No weight goal, no revenue goal, no life milestone. This conversation actually started with my 21-year-old daughter, Grace, who told me she didn't know how to answer the question, "What's your goal?" As I listened to her, I realized I've felt the same way for years, even as an entrepreneur who's built multiple businesses. I'm walking you through the trap of outcome goals versus behaviors we can actually control, the arrival fallacy, and what I call your "blueprint" for personal growth. Conclusion Rather than asking yourself what you want to achieve, I encourage you to ask a much more powerful question: Who are you becoming? That simple shift will change how you approach your health, relationships, purpose, and life. In This Episode: - Reason #1: My faith - Reason #2: Goals limit what you believe is possible - Reason #3: Most goals are not in our control - Reason #4: The “arrival fallacy” - Reason #5: Unmeasurable desires - Building your blueprint for personal growth Mentioned in the Episode: -The Meaning of Your Life by Arthur Brooks: https://a.co/d/06e3E8Hm -Atomic Habits by James Clear: https://a.co/d/0bNGSVPi -Join Carrie Live Every Morning: https://www.instagram.com/carrie_lupoli/ -Join the BS Club: https://www.disruptivenutrition.com/bsclub Pre-Order Carrie’s Book, From Corset to Crown! -Get your copy of "From Corset to Crown" and a ton of awesome bonuses to make the learning really stick at: https://www.carrielupoli.com/corsettocrown Carrie’s From Corset to Crown Live Event in Nashville on October 2-4, 2026: -The ultimate girls' trip is on!

After six years and hundreds of episodes as Diet Disruptors, I'm making a change that's been building in me for a long time. This isn't a rebrand for the sake of a rebrand. It's a shift in the lens we use to look at food, weight, and worth. In this episode, I walk you through why "Diet Disruptors" no longer fits where I want to take you. I share the story behind my new book, the metaphor of the corset and the crown, and the life experiences that led me to this message. From clients who found strength through unimaginable hardship to my own experience losing my wedding rings in the ocean, I explain why hope, self-worth, and alignment are the true foundation of lasting health. My goal now is to help you uncover the healthiest, freest version of who you've always been. If you've ever felt like you have to earn your worth through productivity, appearance, or how much you can handle, let’s explore this new chapter together. Conclusion With the From Corset to Crown podcast, I am embracing a necessary evolution that shifts our focus from food and weight to the deeper foundations of self-worth and alignment. I invite you to join me in this new chapter as we work together to uncover the freest, healthiest version of who you have always been.

What if the pain you’ve been told to “just live with” isn’t actually permanent? What if your body can still regenerate, repair, and rebuild when given the right support? That's exactly what we're talking about today. I’m hosting Dr. John Dame, medical director at ReClinic in Utah, to explore the world of regenerative medicine and how stem cell therapy is changing the way we think about chronic pain, joint degeneration, and aging. I also share my experience flying out to Utah and receiving treatment for my hips, an experience that has genuinely changed how my body feels and functions. We break down what umbilical cord-derived stem cells actually are, how they work in the body, and why they are considered more potent than traditional stem cell sources. We also explore alternative therapies like peptides (including BPC-157) and how they can support healing when regenerative therapies may not be accessible or necessary. Conclusion Aging doesn’t have to mean decline, and pain doesn’t always have to mean surgery or long-term medication. When we begin to explore regenerative options, we open the door to real healing, not just symptom management. I encourage you to stay curious, ask better questions, and advocate for your own health journey.

What if the most dangerous thing you pass down to your daughter isn't a bad habit but a belief? In this episode, I sit down with Traci Peterson, board-certified nurse practitioner and founder of the Woman Lessons movement, to talk about what true confidence and self-love actually look like for women. Traci was standing at her kitchen sink when her nine-year-old daughter Quinn looked up and asked, "Mom, can we do woman lessons?" Quinn had in mind cooking, outfits, and makeup. But that innocent question sent Traci down a path of deep reflection, which ultimately led to a multi-generational movement around raising truly confident women. In this conversation, Traci shares the seven Woman Lessons she teaches women around the world. We also talk about the power of an "I am" declaration, the difference between perfectionism and striving for excellence, and how Traci uses her flower metaphor at home. Conclusion You can't teach what you don't believe. Your daughter is watching you. Whether she's eight years old or 30, it's never too late to start modeling the confidence, self-trust, and identity rooted in truth that we all want for the women in our lives.
