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.
New episodes every Tuesday.

Who Am I When Everyone I Love is Gone? When Grief Changes Who You Are: Dr. Pingel & Sheree Hartwell
What happens when grief forces you to stop performing and face who you really are underneath all the roles you've been playing?**
In this raw, honest conversation, I sit down with Sheree Hartwell, owner of Ford/Robert Black Agency, to talk about something we both know intimately: how loss changes everything - including the masks we wear and the lives we perform for others.
Sheree started modeling at 12 and eventually bought her own agency, but this isn't just another "success story." We dive deep into the grief that strips away all pretense, the identity crisis that hits when you realize you've been living for everyone else's approval, and what it's really like to build a career in an industry where your worth depends on other people's opinions.
**We get real about:**
✨ How anticipated loss creates a different kind of grief that nobody talks about
✨ The brutal reality of raising kids in a social media world where comparison is constant
✨ Why rejection hits so hard when your self-worth depends on other people's validation
✨ What it's really like behind the scenes of an industry built on external approval
✨ How to find joy and authenticity when your whole world has been about performing
If you've ever felt like you're living someone else's life, if you're exhausted from being what everyone needs you to be, or if you're navigating grief while trying to hold it all together - this conversation will make you feel less alone.
