Have you heard the saying that in order to change the future, you must understand the past? Well, Kelsey and Heather are diving into the history of dieting and how diet culture became a THING.

Not to be total Grinches, but the holidays are a great example of how diet culture ruins everything. Ever been to a party and binged on food, only to feel guilty for weeks after? Or maybe you turned down your favorite foods but obsessed over them the entire time. Heather and Kelsey unpack this idea and offer suggestions to navigate food choices without guilt or shame.

Diet Culture. What is it?? And why are we Dun Dun DUN'ing?? Diet Culture is insidious. It's everywhere. It's baked right in. And it's harmful. We're going to tackle Diet Culture this season, but we're going to start by defining it. Or trying to.

Heather and Kelsey chat about all they learned from this season's guests and what they will take away. Heather and Kelsey also discuss social media and if it's a factor in self care (spoiler alert: it is!).

Breathwork. This super important practice gets wrapped up with meditation and mindfulness. While all of these are important, breathwork has a special place in Self Care. Heather chats with Jason Amoroso of Revelation Breathwork to break it down. Breathwork can change SO much. You need to tune in!

Trauma happens to all of us. Sometimes, things get really really hard. This is the time where we may turn our focus from self-care to survival. That feels logical, right? Today's guest, Sonja Prince shares her story and how focusing on self-care helped her survive. Sonja is a macro coach, health coach, and the Director of The Kwesi Prince Foundation.

Movement is really important, but it's not always about getting to the gym. In fact, our time in the gym is one little sliver of the movement pie. Join Heather as she chats with Marie Newkirk to talk about the importance of moving well as we age. Marie shares practical advice on critical movement patterns. For self-care - move your body!

Human beings have been connected with nature since our very beginning. Most of us crave some sort of natural setting (waves on the shore, hiking in the woods, brunch outside). But getting outside is more than just an indulgence - it's an essential aspect of self-care. Listen as Kelsey shares with Heather what she's learned about getting outside for self-care!

The most basic self-care step you can take is to nourish your body with nourishing foods. But it's usually easier said than done. Join Heather today as she chats with Belkis Crowe. Belkis owns her own meal prep service, so she has ALL the tips for faster food prep. She also understands the foundational relationship between food and loving yourself (or someone else!). Tune in!

Self Care has no definition. For some, it's a spa weekend and facials. But for most of us, it's about foundational habits that keep us at the top of our game. Kelsey and Heather share their tips and own habits for self-care.
