The Glow Up Experience

Episode 12 - It’s Not Empathy—It’s Discomfort: Why Fixing Isn’t Helping

In this boundary-reset episode of The Glow Up Experience, Lindsay Jacobi unpacks a hard truth: the urge to “help” is often less empathy and more your discomfort with someone else’s feelings.
From a flustered bartender who misplaced a card to years of laughing off hurtful comments to keep the peace, Lindsay traces how high-functioning codependency becomes a covert self-abandonment strategy—and how to stop.
You’ll learn
The difference between empathy (“I can witness your pain”) and enmeshment (“I can’t be OK until you are”)
How “fixer energy” is a nervous-system coping mechanism, not a personality trait
The pause–name–choose method to interrupt reflex rescuing
Why prioritising others’ comfort over your own erodes self-trust
Micro-boundaries that create connection without self-betrayal

Episode 9 - What 100 Days Sober Taught Me About Pain, Pressure, and True Peace

In this intimate, no-numbing episode of The Glow Up Experience, Lindsay Jacobi shares what a 100-day break from alcohol really revealed: not just better sleep and glowing skin, but how often we use wine (or food, scrolling, busyness) to blunt awkwardness, ease social anxiety, and dodge the messages our bodies are trying to send. When the glass goes down, awareness goes up—boundaries sharpen, connections get real, and pain turns from punishment into direction.
You’ll learn
Why “taking the edge off” often disconnects you from yourself (and others)
How pain, stress, and anxiety are data—guideposts pointing to what needs care

When the numbers don’t add up, the marriage feels fragile, and your dream looks delusional, what do you choose—fear or faith?

The “unavailable for failure” mindset that snaps you out of doom-loops
How to stop rehearsing worst-case scenarios and build proof for your vision instead
