  • Ep. 49: What Budgeting Teaches Us About Life & Fitness

    Gabi shares how the Four Rules from her budgeting app, You Need A Budget (YNAB), can be applied to life and fitness. The rules aren't hard but they do require some reflection and consistency, but ultimately they're meant to help you gain control of your money...and your life!

  • Ep. 48: Black Health is More Than Fitness
    Today, Gabi continues her talk with Melissa McLeod and Shanique Allen. The three came to know each other after being part of the same fitness community FB group. This discussion focuses on Black health and the barriers to it. At the end of the day, #BlackHealthMatters means a lot more than just the foods we eat and the exercises we do.
    Disclaimer: While we are talking broadly about Black people and people of color (POC), it is important that you do not walk away with the narrative that all Black people and POC are lower-income and/or are struggling with their health and fitness. Middle and upper-class POC can experience some of the same struggles and White societal norms discussed in this episode, or not be as negatively impacted by them.

  • Ep. 47: Creating Black Communities in Fitness

    Facebook groups can be great to connect people, share ideas, and even encourage our fitness journeys, but they aren't perfect simply because they're made up of humans who are, well, imperfect. Today, Gabi talks with Melissa McLeod and Shanique Allen. The three came to know each other after being part of the same fitness community FB group. They discuss how some spaces that are meant to be inclusive are actually not, and how Black people have to create their own communities where they can openly share and be authentic. 

    Disclaimer: Street Parking (SP) is referenced in this episode. There is no affiliation with SPHQ, other than we are all paying members. The thoughts and ideas expressed here belong solely to the speakers. Please listen with an open mind. The focus is not to highlight SP or the SP FB group, but rather the speakers’ personal experiences as members of the community.
