What Am I Modeling with Dr. Tricia Pingel NMD
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 NMD, a naturopathic physician 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.

In this Season 1 finale, I'm getting reflective about this podcast journey - the messy beginning, the growth, and what I've learned from every single guest who sat down with me. From perfectionism to body image, from immigrant journeys to trading medical practices for jungle adventures, every story taught us the same truth: you have permission to stop performing and start living.
Here's what we're covering in this finale: Why self-care isn't selfish - it's infectious What I learned about myself while hosting this podcast Why we're taking a holiday break (and what you can do during it) A sneak peek at Season 2's incredible guests and themes Your challenge: What will you model differently in 2026?
