What Am I Modeling with Dr. Tricia Pingel
Here's the uncomfortable truth: You're modeling something through your behavior every single day, whether you realize it or not. The question that will change everything: What am I modeling?
I'm Dr. Tricia Pingel, a naturopathic physician and stress expert with an unusual background - I started working as a professional fashion model when I was 9 months old. Between modeling and medicine, I learned to look perfect while completely losing myself in the process.
When my mom died after a 9-month cancer battle, I realized my boys had been watching me their entire lives, learning that pushing through no matter what was the only way to live. That's when I found my way back to myself through hip hop dance and discovered the power of authentic living.
This show is for anyone tired of looking successful on the outside while barely holding it together on the inside.You'll hear my messy transformation stories, raw conversations with people who've stopped performing and started actually living, medical insights on stress and why your body keeps the score, real talk about surviving high-pressure work environments, and permission-giving moments that make you feel less alone.
This is your permission slip to stop modeling burnout and start curating joy.

Why this One Question will Transform Your Life - Dr. Tricia Pingel
What am I modeling? This one question changed everything for me - and it will change everything for you too.
I'm Dr. Tricia Pingel, and I spent years as both a naturopathic physician treating burnout AND a fashion model living by everyone else's expectations. Here's the uncomfortable truth I had to face: even while helping high achievers recover from stress, I was secretly modeling the exact behaviors that create burnout.
The wake-up call came when my mom was dying of cancer and my body literally wouldn't let me "power through" anymore. That's when I realized you're teaching something through your behavior whether you realize it or not - and your stress response is your leadership signature.
In this foundation episode, you'll discover:
- Why your unconscious modeling is more powerful than your conscious messaging
- How mirror neurons make your team copy your stress patterns
- The difference between modeling survival vs. modeling sustainable success
- A simple audit to become conscious of what you're actually teaching
- Why changing what you model changes everything around you
This isn't about perfection - it's about giving yourself permission to stop performing your life and start actually living it. Because the people watching you need to see what authentic success really looks like.
Your challenge this week: Ask three people what they think you're modeling about handling pressure. The answers might surprise you.
About Dr. Tricia Pingel: Naturopathic physician, stress expert, and former fashion model who learned that relinquishing control isn't weakness - it's permission to be human. After experiencing stage 2 adrenal fatigue while treating others for the same condition, she discovered that authentic success requires modeling what you actually want to create, not what you think others expect.
