What if the only thing standing between you and your true potential… is you?Rip welcomes <a href="https://korimcclurg.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kori McClurg</a>, author of the new book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DWCVXD4S/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Get Out of Your Own Way.</a> Kori’s journey from self-loathing to self-love is one of courage, vulnerability, and the transformative power of plants.Like so many, Kori spent years battling the weight of diet culture, mental health struggles, and a body that reflected her inner turmoil. But through honesty, self-compassion, and a shift to a whole food plant-based diet, she discovered a new path — one that nourished both her body and her spirit.Here’s what you’ll take away from her story:<ul><li>Vulnerability is power — When we open up about our struggles, we create space for healing.</li><li>Food is medicine — Shifting to a whole food plant-based lifestyle can dramatically improve health and vitality.</li><li>It’s not about willpower — Real change happens when we address the emotions behind our habits.</li><li>Self-compassion changes everything — Treating ourselves with curiosity and kindness opens the door to growth.</li><li>Start small, move with grace — Sustainable transformation comes from compassionate, incremental steps.</li></ul> Kori’s story is a reminder that transformation doesn’t start with a strict diet or sheer determination — it starts with love. When we get out of our own way, we create the freedom to thrive.<a href="https://www.plantstrongpodcast.com/blog/kori-mcclurg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Episode Webpage</a><a href="https://youtu.be/p6OnYpoKAWk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch the Episode on YouTube</a>Upcoming Events:Join us for our 2025 Plantstrong Retreat in Black Mountain, NC - Nov 9-14, 2025: https://plantstrong.com/pages/black-mountain-retreat Let Us Help Your PLANTSTRONG JourneyUse Code: KALE20 for $20 off Annual Subscription at https://home.mealplanner.plantstrong.com/ COMPLEMENT: Use code PLANTSTRONG for 30% off at https://lovecomplement.com/pages/plantstrong-special-offer Leave Us a Voicemail QuestionLeave us a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/plantstrong Follow PLANTSTRONG and Rip﻿ Esselstynhttps://plantstrongfoods.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GoPlantstrong https://www.instagram.com/goplantstrong/https://www.instagram.com/ripesselstyn/ Follow the PLANTSTRONG Podcast and Give the Show a 5-star Rating<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/plantstrong-podcast/id1458774193" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0f3s0T8T51BkypY1OMdrT7?si=2c16b40676f64e65&nd=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a>
