  • EP 16 - Santa Pause

    Send us a text

    Hey Flexy Fam, 

    This week we flush out some misconceptions about fitness and ability as they relate to calendar & metabolic years. 

    Spoiler: age is not an excuse! 

    As the holiday season approaches, we also discuss some seasonal 'traditions' that we look forward to celebrating (and others we certainly can do without). 

    Enjoy!

    Hey Flex Fam, 

    This week we catch up on the events of the past two weeks including Oktoberfest in Munich, the 'spicy flu' and Janet Jackson in concert. 

    The topic for the day explores the importance of consistency, how to cultivate gratitude and manifest desires, as well as overcoming the woes of an 'empty nest' for parents of older children. 

    Enjoy!

  • EP 13 - Gymtimidation

    Send us a text

    Hey Flex Fam, 

    This week we speak about fitness journeys. More specifically, we talk about the journey back to the gym despite varying sources of intimidation (other people, the free weights area, unfamiliar machines, and of course, the wrong outfit). 

    We also discuss the only circumstance where not going to the gym is acceptable...and even recommended! 

    Enjoy!

  • EP 12 - Generation WTF

    Send us a text

    Hey Fam, 

    We tackle the sometimes-touchy subject of generational trauma and/or habits -- how it affects our relationships, our own parenting, and our views of ourselves. 

    We recall some good memories of our childhood (mostly of being disciplined) and once again, the phone-call wars continue... 

    Enjoy!

    Long time flex fam,

    It's good to be back! This week we had a little catch-up episode after the end of the summer and just shot the sh*t a bit.

    Enjoy!

  • EP 10 - Gossip Girls (& Boys)

    Send us a text

    Hey hey fam, 

    This week we had a short one for y'all but an interesting topic nonetheless: gossip! 

    Let us know your comments on what you think is acceptable when it comes to gossiping, especially between friends.
     
    Bonus points if you can count how many times the word 'salacious' was used. 

    Enjoy!

  • EP 9 - When Girls Trip on the Girls' Trip

    Send us a text

    Flexy Fam, 

    It's another fun-filled Flex and the City Friday! 

    This week's episode we discuss unsolicited advice: whether it's learning to 'read the room' as an advisor, or navigating well-meaning (and sometimes not so well-meaning) suggestions. 

    Lots of good moments in this one as we segue to moments of random song and dance (just go with it), girls' trips gone bad, and the latest in schoolyard squabbles.

    Enjoy!

  • EP 8 - Self-Love and Self-Service

    Send us a text

    Happy flexy Friday Fam! 

    It's an age-old topic but we put our own little spin on it: self-love! How much can we learn from being 'friends' to ourselves? We discuss different methods we can use to keep the 'flame' alive including self-dating (no, it's not what you might think). 

    As always, lots of laughs and stories to ensure we stay humble in our quest to spread our nuggets of knowledge. 

    Enjoy!

  • EP 7 - The FriendSHIP Has Sailed

    Send us a text

    Hello hello Flexy Fam, 

    We talk about friendship in this week's episode: what makes a good friend, is it longevity or loyalty?! When is tough love too tough?! 

    We also discuss the discomfort of toxicity, and the truth that sometimes, it's you, not them! 

    As always, lots of laughs and fun in between. 

    Enjoy!
