Imperfect Humans

Welcome to Imperfect Humans, a podcast where hosts Kelsee Luttgens and Melissa Shadoin have real conversations about eating disorder recovery and lifestyle content. As two self-proclaimed perfectionists, we know how hard life can be to navigate when you want to always do the right thing and how paralyzing the fear of failure can be for so many people. Tune in to hear eye-opening and honest conversations surrounding a variety of life topics, including: coping with fear of failure, how to embrace imperfection (don't worry, we are both still learning this one), the difficult experiences of eating disorder recovery, challenging the stories we tell ourselves, and so much more. We are two friends still learning to navigate the world. Our goal is to meet every listener where they are at and to leave you feeling seen. So join us as we all continue to grow on this imperfect journey called life.

Hi! I'm Kelsee (yes, w/ 3 e's), and I am a wine educator living in Los Angeles, CA. Some tidbits about me: I'm an avid reader, my favorite color is pink, I'm a math and science geek, and I really love Harry Potter - currently in the process of attempting to read the entire series in French, so clearly I'm a Ravenclaw. I've been studying and tasting wine since I was a toddler, and I'm in the process of completing my DipWSET (in layman's terms: it's a very challenging wine degree). I have recently earned my Recovery Coach Certification in Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapy (EDIT)™, and I am passionate about using my lived experience to help others struggling with eating disorders and OCD. My hope with this podcast is to inspire YOU to be your true authentic self.

Hello beautiful humans, you probably see my name above and if not...HI I'm Melissa :) I've become known for a few things in my life: die-hard Swiftie through and through, an obsession with Starbucks that will likely never end, forever will be a Ravenclaw, and if you ask for my favorite book (or now TV character) - my answer will always be Nancy Drew. Especially the Kennedy McMann version of Nancy Drew. In addition to podcasting, I enjoy actually listening to other's podcasts while on long walks through the parks (no beaches near me), making TikToks, and watching Disney movies to be with the time with the kiddos I see on a daily basis. I'm currently a 4th year med student matching into pediatrics because just like the listeners of our podcast, I want each patient I see to feel heard and seen by me. Kids are our future and if I can make a small positive impact on their life - I've done my job.
