Bread And Better Podcast

This week on Bread and Better, we're hopping into our time machine and heading back to the 90s! Whether you're a 90s baby, from the early, late, or even very late 80s like Alex, you won't want to miss this incredibly fun episode. We're diving into all the quirky, nostalgic things we did in primary school and the iconic things we all desperately wanted (think Spice Girls Impulse Body Spray and Blow-Up Back Packs). Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram so you can join in the fun and play along with your friends!

Bread and Better is hosted by Tegan Padget a qualified personal trainer, sports nutritionist, chef, and owner of the online lifestyle coaching business called Fitty Tegs, and Alex Whittington a freelance feature writer, producer, the owner of Hey Al! Productions, and a mum of three. We aim to not only discuss the issues that affect us as women - but also how the issues we deal with, and how we respond, can affect those we influence - our kids, our nephews and nieces, our siblings, our cousins, our godchildren, our best friend's kids. We are committed to opening a dialogue where we explore generational patterns in the health, movement and mindset space, and make real change.

This week on Bread and Better, we’re diving into the world of women's sports and gender equality. We’re super excited to discuss the achievements of women in sports, focusing on our guest Ke’ale Dorries. Ke’ale, a competitive stand-up paddleboarder with impressive national and international titles, shares her journey into SUP, her challenges as a female athlete, and her views on gender equality in sports. The conversation also touches on the disparities in media coverage and prize money between male and female athletes, and the potential for sports like pickleball to promote gender equality. This engaging episode highlights the importance of supportive communities, equal opportunities, and the joy of sport as a form of therapy and empowerment for women. We also have everyone’s favourite segment, RED LIGHT GREEN LIGHT so stay tuned for that and be sure to follow us on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/breadandbetterpodcast/)

This week on the Bread and Better podcast, we’re discussing personal development and why it can be a bit off-putting for some, including Alex herself. We’re breaking down what personal development really means and why it's more than just "woo woo" stuff—it's about making life better by becoming the best version of yourself. Tegan shares insights on how choosing yourself first can positively impact everyone around you and dives into both the scientific and spiritual sides of self-improvement, like the law of attraction and the brain’s reticular activating system. She’s also discussing the power of gratitude and goal setting, sharing practical tips and personal stories. By the end of the episode, Tegan hopes to show that personal development is for everyone, even those who think it’s not their thing… like Alex!
