Episode 124: Ayurveda, People Pleasing & Calling Out Mixed Messages About Aging

This episode of Party’s Over is all about alignment — with our bodies, our boundaries, and the truth we tell ourselves about aging, self-worth, and what we deserve.

We start with something ancient… and yet surprisingly modern:
Ayurveda — the “science of life,” an integrative healing system that connects the mind, body, and spirit and helps women tune in instead of push through. Certified Ayurveda coach Tess Arnold joins the show to explain Ayurveda in a grounded, accessible, zero-woo-woo way. She shares how this system changed her own life, how it helps her clients, and how listening to your body is an act of empowerment, not indulgence.

And that theme continues…

Because in the next part of the episode, we talk about people-pleasing — something so many women are conditioned to do. Always be agreeable. Always keep the peace. Always accommodate. But here’s the truth:

People-pleasing isn’t kindness.
It’s self-abandonment dressed as generosity.

We talk openly about how draining it is to constantly put yourself last, and how powerful it can be to finally say:
“I matter too. My needs count. My boundaries are valid.”

Then comes Spill It — and this week’s letter hits home for a lot of women.

A listener writes that her husband tells her she’s “aging gracefully”… while constantly pointing out celebrities her age who clearly have had work done. Compliment? Comparison? Or emotional whiplash?

Here’s what we talk about:
✨ Mixed messaging
✨ Why comparison hurts — even when “meant well”
✨ Emotional intelligence in relationships
✨ How to communicate clearly without attacking
✨ And why your feelings are valid

The takeaway?

You’re allowed to call out behavior that hurts you.
You’re allowed to speak up.
You’re allowed to expect respect, tenderness, and emotional awareness from your partner.

This episode blends healing, honesty, and self-respect — because the mind, body, and heart are always connected.

If something isn’t aligned?
If something makes you feel small?
If something hurts?

Sometimes the bravest, strongest, most self-loving thing you can say is:

Party’s Over.
