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.

Perfectionism Made Me Sick: (From 10 Medications to Zero) - Dr. Jen Stotlar with Dr. Tricia Pingel
Welcome back to What Am I Modeling! Today I'm joined by Dr. Jen Stotlar, a naturopathic doctor and holistic nutritionist who transformed her own autoimmune journey into a mission of helping others heal from the inside out.
In this conversation, we explore:
✨ Breaking free from perfectionism and societal expectations as women
✨ The hidden connection between stress, trauma, and autoimmune diseases
✨ How our "wild child" phases might actually be healing responses
✨ Redefining self-worth beyond external achievements and roles
✨ The mind-body connection in chronic illness management
✨ Practical steps for reversing autoimmune conditions naturally
✨ Finding grace and self-compassion in your healing journey
About our Guest:
Dr. Jen Stotlar brings her expertise as a naturopathic doctor and holistic nutritionist, forged through a powerful personal transformation. What started as dreams of becoming a pediatrician shifted dramatically when autoimmune conditions derailed her college plans - leading to a decade-long battle with ulcerative colitis, Crohn's, scleroderma, and more. After years of managing 5-10 medications and countless doctor visits while excelling as a CFO, she made a bold decision in 2014 to heal naturally through diet and mindset work. Now medication-free since 2015, she's turned her healing journey into her life's mission. Her story reveals how early societal pressures and perfectionism can manifest as physical illness, and how she discovered that true healing requires addressing both the emotional and physical aspects of disease.
Whether you're struggling with perfectionism that's exhausting you, managing an autoimmune condition that feels overwhelming, or simply trying to balance all your roles without losing yourself, this conversation offers real insights into how our mindset and self-care practices can literally change our health outcomes.
