What happens when a childhood joke cuts deeper than anyone expects?

In this episode, host Peter Weller sits down with Tom Hudson, a coach who turned his own pain into purpose. Together, they unpack the messy reality of body image, overcoming self-judgment, and building a life where health is about more than what you see in the mirror.

This episode isn’t your typical “sit-down-and-get-coached” conversation. Was it strictly a coaching session? Absolutely not. This wasn’t me walking through my blood results or putting together a step-by-step fitness or nutrition plan with Tom Hudson live on air. Instead, this was two people sitting down, getting real, and just letting the conversation flow.

Yes, Tom is an expert. Yes, Tom can coach—I have no doubt about it. We just didn’t get to that part this time, because honestly, sometimes the most meaningful thing you can do is simply connect with someone who’s walked a similar path and is as fascinated by health and nutrition as you are.

And that’s the beauty of this podcast: it isn’t always about formal coaching. Sometimes it’s about letting yourself be in the room with someone who gets it—and drawing learnings from their story, their mistakes, and their curiosity. Tom will absolutely be back for a real, in-depth coaching session (stay tuned for that), but for now, consider this episode what it truly is: a conversation between two people who nerded out on a topic they love, lost track of the clock, and just for a moment forgot all about the “format.”

That, to me, is progress.

In This Episode:
• Tom’s raw story of childhood body dysmorphia and the classroom moment that changed everything
• Why being “the person you needed” is both the hardest and most rewarding path
• How shifting from appearance to performance can unlock confidence and real health
• The unseen power of environment: parents, mentors, and what we pass on to our kids
• Nutrition hacks that actually work (from batch cooking to “food is data”)
• The truth behind common health myths in our Fact or Fiction segment
• What it feels like to finally have someone on your side of the table
• Listener Q&A: microbiome, healing after antibiotics, and finding your health “board”
• Tom’s billboard message for anyone stuck in self-criticism and his weekly challenge for listeners

Why Listen?
If you’ve ever felt at war with your own body, struggled to break unhealthy patterns, or wondered if real change is possible, this conversation is for you.

Peter sits down with a career coach for women - Maartje Bakker to explore a topic that hits close to home: what happens when we only feel proud at the end?

From tech leader to full-time coach, Maartje shares her personal journey of career confusion, intergenerational financial fear, and the moment she finally gave herself permission to bet on what lit her up. Together, they unpack the emotional cost of delayed pride and why high performers often struggle to feel enough in the middle.

This episode dives deep into redefining success, building sustainable momentum, and learning to celebrate progress while it's happening not just when it’s complete. The conversation spans the power of intuition in career decisions, the tension between achievement and presence, and how parenting with unconditional love mirrors the kind of compassion we so rarely show ourselves.

In the coaching challenge, Peter opens up about his struggle to celebrate small wins — and with Maartje’s help, begins rewriting the rules of what “done” really means.

Whether you're navigating career change, chasing a big goal, or learning to slow down, this one’s for you.
