Decades of Strength

We are *not* mental health experts. We are humans with our own unique mental health journeys and strong proponents of talking about mental health without shame or stigma. We share our experience navigating mental health as well as the connection of physical health and mental health

Today we touch on a cornucopia (haha get it?) of topics, starting with why we are so thrilled to welcome fall.  In addition to the fun, light-hearted banter, we also dive into some ways to navigate this transition into a new season, which can sometimes come with unexpected challenges. Don't miss the end where we get into all the fun fall cooking!

In this week's episode, we follow up on last weeks intuitive vs. mindful eating dialogue, by talking about tactical measures and situations in which we apply mindful eating for ourselves and our clients. We also talk about some challenges we've encountered in the process, and how we reflect on them today! 

We hope you enjoy and as always, leave us any comments, feedback, ratings and messages with your thoughts. Thank you!

Intuitive eating has become quite the buzzword these days, but what is it, really? In this week's episode, we discuss the difference between true Intuitive Eating and what is more so mindful eating. While both have similarities, IE is practiced with the intention that intentional weight loss is not the goal. Tune into part 1 of this 2 part series where we break it down and share our own experiences.

Group fitness is what got the three of us started on our fitness journey. But over time, we came to realize the progress we were trying to make wasn't happening. While group fitness certainly has its benefits, it also has its downsides. Tune into this week's episode of the Decades of Strength Podcast to hear Kim, Katie, and Marci, discuss the pros and cons, and how if you really do love it, you can still make it a part of your overall routine.
