Be Well Cartel: the wellness girl gang podcast

Today, Holly and Gillian speak about:

BWC NOTESHow did we get to where we are now in our relationships with food, our bodies and exercise?Inspired by a great question from one of our clients, Holly and Olivia reflect on the things that felt key for them in supporting their journey from disordered eating & HA to rebuilding a stronger relationship with food, their bodies, exercise, and themselves than they have ever had before. We talk about:> how our journeys began and where we are now> the things that have helped us most on our journeys:

All 3 of us are on the pod this week as we straddle 16 hours of time zones to bring you some answers to some more excellent listener and client questions!

We talk about:

> Holly’s dad’s wholesome new hobby 

> Olivia’s training wins post-HA recovery and post-partum 

> Gillian’s experiences moving in with a partner for the first time 

And in our Q&A we tackle:

> Do we need to be on social media as a new personal trainer? And if we do want to be on social media, how can we approach this being on the other side of HA recovery / healing our relationship with food?

> How can I check videos of my form in the gym without body checking?

We're back with another Q+A episode covering two listener questions:

My partner and I are both shift workers, any advice for managing our nutrition?

As I'm improving my relationship with food, how do I know if something is a food preference or actually a food rule?

What have we been up to since we last recorded a Be Well Cartel podcast?

Plus today's question:

If you're working on healing your relationship with food and your body, how can you support yourself in navigating social occasions and trips with friends, colleagues, or other people who might still be eating or discussing food and bodies in ways that might feel triggering to you at the moment?
