We've all heard of body positivity, who hasn't?! But if you've felt discouraged because you can't seem to achieve the ultimate, unwavering positivity and confidence that the body positivity movement spouts, this episode is for you. Body neutrality will help you be a little easier on yourself, but also help you find confidence in all that you ARE because it will force you to explore your value past your looks.

Introducing, the Diet Deep Dive! In this ongoing episode series, I'm going to explore popular diets, fitness fads, wellness trends, hot health topics, and more! Being that it has taken social media by storm, we have to start out with 75 Hard. The 75 Hard Challenge claims to be a "mental toughness challenge" and certainly not a fitness challenge, yet it is very centered on physical change. We deep dive on the creator, Any Frisell, and guidelines of the 75 Hard Challenge.
