In this light-hearted episode, Jenna and Danielle ask each other 10 questions about food, fitness, lifestyle and the freedoms of living beyond diet culture's rules, without either of them knowing the questions or answers ahead of time.

In this interview episode, Dani and Jenna talk with Erin Morrissey, the recipe developer, blogger and instagrammer behind Erin Lives Whole (@erinliveswhole). We hear Erin's story of how her eating disorder emerged, how she found the courage and support to fight the stigma of getting help, how recovery isn't linear, how taking a break from exercise helped her healing and how she's been able to find the freedom to be a foodie and build her brand off of her recovery and recipes now that food is a safe, positive in her life.

Dani and Jenna go through some tips on helping with the decision making process and how to deal with the lies we tell ourself about failure or needing to be perfect that keep us from being able to move forward in any area of life, especially in fighting against the rules of diet culture. 

Jenna & Dani are back for season two, interviewing Nick Lewis. We discuss what his relationship with food, exercise and body were like growing up, the influence diet culture had on him from a young age, how that transitioned during college, how he realized just how disordered his eating was becoming and how he's worked towards finding a healthier balance with eating, movement and self-talk. 

Dani & Jenna's last episode of season one covers the pressures diet culture places around New Year's Resolutions, how to set goals in a way that doesn't set you up for failure and why you aren't in fact failing if you choose to walk into January 1st as if it's just another day. 

Jenna and Danielle break down what the wellness diet is and how it's just as harmful as any other diet but wrapped up in a shinier package as well as all of the places diet culture is lurking and how you can learn to spot it and not let it influence you in a negative way.

Jenna and Dani *dish* on their top tips about getting through family and meal-centric holidays with a little less anxiety, shame and guilt around food choices being out of the ordinary and the impositions of diet culture.
