Build with Brabec

Kara Duval of Kara Duval Pilates & The Range joins me on the podcast this week & shares so many insights about the origin & development of her online fitness business, The Range, as well as how her perspectives of fitness & her own routines have changed since COVID-19. We also get into mindful movement & what that really means, the importance of language in fitness, working out to support your body, and so much more.

Kara's Book Recommendation: To Shake The Sleeping Self

Happy birthday to the Build with Brabec podcast! Can you believe it has been a whole ass year since the first episode dropped?! Take a trip down memory lane at some of the most impactful & important takeaways from past interviews. Even if you've already listened to every episode (THANK YOU BTW), these are great reminders to embody in your every day life. Here's to year 2!

Yes, we are going all over the place with this solo episode! I give some life updates, content recommendations & share why I'm doing Dry January, Sober January, whatever you want to call it, how I'm planning on living more aligned this year, and give you the scoop on why BMI is a trash measure of health (and why it's wildly racist). Enjoy!

Body image coach Molly Seifert joins the podcast this week to discuss the tools she gives her clients in her body image business, the layers of body image healing & the grief that may accompany the process, setting healthy boundaries with yourself & others, and so much more.

SURPRISE! I just simply could NOT stay away for 2 full weeks, so I'm leaving you with one more episode for 2021. I wrapped up 2021 in both pop culture & my own life, as well encourage you to think about your year before we move forward. I also help to better shape your New Years resolutions so you find the success you desire, and if resolutions aren't really your things (don't worry, me either), I'm giving you some really positive alternatives & why they work! 

Thank you again for such an amazing year- Happy New Year, my loves!

Join the Build Your Best Body Image Program, starting January 10th!

Join me for a FREE BOLD with Brabec workout on IG Live at 12pm EST NYE. No equipment required, just 30 minutes of beat-based shadowboxing & bodyweight strength exercises.

On the LAST EPISODE OF THE YEAR, I share some exciting life updates & get real about what's been going on in my life this year. I also encourage you to quit operating out of a place of scarcity & start thinking BIG for once, finally ditch imposter syndrome, and choose who YOU want to be, instead of letting the world continue to make that decision for you. 

Thank you so much for spending an hour + with me each week- 2021 was a dream & it's all because of YOU! Please please please leave a voicemail here, text me, shoot me an email, or slide into my DM's with: your favorite 2021 episodes/moments, topics or guests you want to see in 2022, and anything you would like me to leave behind in 2021. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH, HAVE THE BEST HOLIDAY SEASON!

TW: fertility, infertility, miscarriages, etc.

My dear friend Janessa Grosse so graciously asked if she could share her fertility story on the podcast, and I thought it would be a great way for other women to not feel so alone in their own journeys surrounding starting a family (or not!). She shares her story, and we discuss how going through something like this affects your mental health, body image, and relationships. Thank you to all of the listeners that shared some perspectives & their own stories. While this episode is beautifully raw, I recognize that is also a very sensitive subject.

I share some tools to help you challenge the food police- both internal & external. Think setting boundaries with family, ways to help you deal with outside comments, challenging internal comments, and fully enjoying your Thanksgiving dinner, as well as the rest of the holiday season. 

Did the time change throw you for a loop? Are you in a funk? Are you putting way too much pressure on yourself? Big same. I have been in such a big funk lately, and in this episode, I get REALLY honest about it, how to find the balance between sitting with your feelings & pulling yourself out of them, and more. I also continue last week's conversation about setting goals & creating positive habits that we can bring into the new year. Let's link arms & move in a positive direction together!
