Samantha Brennan and Tracy Isaac decided two year ago, before each of their 50th birthdays, that they were going to become the fittest they had ever been!  They wanted to document the process through a blog and titled it, Fitness is a Feminist Issue.  As philosophers by trade, they saw this fitness journey not only as taking a physical challenge but a way in which to examine fitness as it relates to feminist issues.  

The blog became so popular that they decided to turn their journey into a book titled "Fit at Midlife".  In this podcast we explore a lot of the pieces of their journey; how their definition of fitness has changed and many of the feminist issues they have explored along the way.  To hear more from these ladies you can check out the links to read their blog and or purchase their book.

How to Be a Better Coach for Clients with Anxiety and Depression Workshop

In this podcast I interview Tessa Yannone, the wellness editor at Boston Magazine.  Tessa manages the health and wellness content of their online and print magazine.  I wanted to talk to Tessa about fitness representation in media as she has access and experience with various classes, styles of fitness, gyms and wellness trends all over the city!  The content that she puts out is really great, thorough, information and I thought she would have excellent insight for other content consumers as to what to look for looking for fitness information online or in print.
