FOLKS I wanted to say that we had some tough love this ep but I'm afraid of confrontation so it was more like a strongly worded email. Social media and the world are difficult places to navigate right now and I wanted to give my thoughts on how to do so in a way you can feel good about. We also go over some old fitness goss, bad coaches, having hard conversations, and small ways you can create or contribute to change.

Oh we talkin' feelings? If you've ever noticed your gym bro's eyes glaze over when you start talking about anything other than your pump, if you're tired of every fitness influencer telling you you're lazy and just need to work harder, or if you've never even gotten that far due to the crushing weight that is the human experience... listen up! Today we are talking about the many obstacles that can prevent us from moving forward in life and some ways to address them. This episode has a more ~serious~ tone today, but this sh*t really matters! Oh and happy Pride Month! 🤸🏼🏳️‍🌈✨

The you who created those goals back in December? We don't know her! So now what? The truth is that most people struggle to make good goals for themselves, and why wouldn't they? No one teaches us these things, but thank God I know that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. So sit back and let me tell you how based on years of experience and many personal battles with adult ADHD. Enjoy episode 5!

Picture it. It's the future- we have flying cars, world hunger has been solved, there's no war, and going to a powerlifting meet is an enjoyable experience. Maybe it's even being televised on your local news. One can only hope.

Today we talk about the nagging things keeping powerlifting from growing into a healthy and spectator friendly sport. Let me know which of these things discussed bothers you the most, and is there anything that I missed or dismissed that you hate? Air out your grievances and find me on YouTube or IG!

Something something power something something responsibility. This week's episode is all about influencers/celebrities/micro-celebrities and whether or not I believe they have an obligation to speak on social issues. If so, how should they go about it? Why? Because social issues are public health issues. This is a very loose but thoughtful conversation motivated by the BLM movement of 2020. This Tea has been brewing for a long time.

*Recorded and edited before the situation in Israel.

We're comin' in hot! In this episode, we talk about the different reasons why the modern body positivity movement is toxic and the best antidote we have right now - body neutrality. I hope that this episode helps you with your journey to self acceptance, or maybe with your acceptance of others! Remember, we're all just bags of meat floating on a big rock in space. Enjoy the ride!
