#143: Do we really need 10K steps?

41 minutes

🎙️ In this episode, you'll hear:

You know those episodes where we just hang out and talk about everything that’s been on our minds lately?

That’s what today’s show feels like — a real catch-up between friends.

Here’s what we get into in this week’s chat:

Bump Day: what it is, why it matters, and how it started in the pregnancy-fitness space.

10-Thousand-Steps — Do We Actually Need Them? I share where that number even came from (hint: marketing, not science) and what the research says about step goals for overall health.

Allergic to Hair Dye: my personal story of reacting to traditional color, the low-tox swaps I’m trying, and why it’s been surprisingly emotional.

The First Grays: when I started noticing them, how I’m handling them, and what’s helped me feel good about the change.

Do We Really Need Our Steps for health and what is the history of this? breaking down what counts as movement and why the pressure to “get your steps in” can sometimes backfire.

What I’ve Been Watching Lately: a few shows I’ve loved unwinding with at night.

Current Skincare Routine: the products I’m actually using right now and why I simplified my routine.

It’s part myth-busting, part lifestyle updates, and totally real-life mom chat.
Grab your coffee, pop in your earbuds, and let’s dive in together.
