Hey loves -- have you ever wondered if you should go to the ‘gynecologist’? Or wondered who to see if you’ve got period issues or something else up with your reproductive health? Today’s episode is such an amazing one because Qiddist (the Badass Academy’s resident faculty for all things anatomy and wellness) and I are taking you through a lot of details about what kind of provider you might want to see, what happens during a routine visit, what questions to ask to see if your provider is a good fit, and how to advocate for yourself like a badass! Qiddist is a health educator, clinical herbalist, and birth supporter -- and they believe that our pelvic health is the root of our creativity, mental health and power (so cool!). *this episode is a good fit for anyone considering getting more reproductive health support, which is often teens* Come listen :) xoxo, Eliza

Hey darling -- I pulled my back out this week, put my feet up (eek!), and opened up some of the amazing questions y’all have been sending me… for part 3 of our ‘ask me anything’ episode series! I’m answering three big questions: one about grief and loss, one about fighting with your parents, and one about being kind to a friend who isn’t a great fit for you. Plus, I threw in a few little goofy questions that y’all asked me! :) Stay tuned for a chat about fave artists, ice cream and colors (yes, you asked, I answered). Come listen!! Xoxo, Eliza

Hey loves -- today’s episode is a big, fun, messy, liberating important one!!!! Jessi Kneeland is a life, fitness and body image coach for women who believes “your body should be the least important thing about you”. She thinks body confidence isn’t about liking the way you look, but about liking yourself no matter how you look. We get into what diet culture actually is, how to get ready for doctor’s visits where weight or “health” might come up, the big feelings that live under negative body judgements, how to practice intuitive eating, and so much more!! This one is a rich lesson in coming home to ourselves and where we can get stuck along the way (shout out to ‘puberty’ which gets a lengthy and honorable mention in this episode). Come listen in!! XOXOX, Eliza

Hey loves -- anyone else feeling the burn out vibes? I’m talking about that moment where you feel so tired, and yet you’re like… ‘oh gosh, i’ve got so much stuff to do.’ This episode is a love note for that tricky moment when you feel a little stuck between your body and your head. I’m talking about finding a light at the end of the tunnel, radically saying no or rescheduling, why rest is productive, and so many other amazing things! Come listen :) xoxoxo, Eliza

[Originally aired 10/20/20] Hey love bug! How’s it going with your period? You don’t need to have your period yet for this episode to be for you (in fact, I especially want you to listen in!). Do you have cramps? Or intense, dark mood swings the week before you get your period? Do you want to love it… because like, that’s the ‘feminist’ or ‘enlightened’ thing to do… but really it’s kind of disruptive and you’re dreading and kind of confused by your period a lot of the time? Oh honey, this episode is magic. Vianney Leigh is a menstrual cycle alignment expert and the founder of the Status Flow Collective -- and she’s a badass period boss. In this episode, we talk about why your period isn’t just about being able to get pregnant, how to create an epic life because of your period (not despite it), our fave personal period stories, how to get started making your period not suck, and SO much more! It’s the big sister chat about periods I always wished I could listen in to -- so here it is for you :) Hugs, Eliza

[originally aired 10/6/20] Hey my loves! Anyone else scroll mindlessly more and more these days? Talk about how bad social media is for your mental health and then find yourself back on it? Watch yourself go down the comparison hole… and then blame yourself? Today I’m talking to the brilliant, raw, real Taz -- a cyber security specialist, empath, and big picture thinker. She’s the daughter of a freedom fighter, and it shows. You’ll hear us talking about: some of the biggest everyday ways you’re not actually private on your phone, why the algorithm is invested in your feeling insecure, how to be real online, and so much more, babes. Taz is a real one. Come listen! XX, Eliza

[originally aired 10/13/20] Hey loves! Andréa is a real deal super human. And not the kind that wears a cape (though very here for it if that’s a new fashion choice they start making), but because they are so super human: growing, changing, compassionate, reflective, visionary, and real. We talk about what liberation and being real have in common, when to get all up in the comments section with someone spouting racist, transphobic, misogynistic (etc.) crap -- and when not to, what your next ‘right’ step is for anti-racism work is (hint: it’s not a checklist, honey), and so much more. Being with Andréa is always both an oasis, and an invitation to wake up to the fire that’s in my heart. Come get nourished and listen, babes! If you’re here to be real, this podcast episode was made -- urgently and intimately -- for you. XOXO, Eliza.

Hey, love. How many of us are waiting for someone else to give us permission to be more of who we actually are? Like… is it ok? Will I still be loved? Will you think I’m lame? Please tell me I’m ok?? Today’s convo is about the feeling of permission (that we can give ourselves, and that brave community can give us) and so many other amazing things. Lily, Ayla and Eden are talking about the real conversations that they wish everyone was having, consent in community, and the permission slip at Badass Girls to be exactly who you are (and let who you are change). This one tugged my heartstrings big time, and is a dreamy listen for anyone who’s a preteen interested in Badass Girls!!! Come listen :) xo, Eliza

Hey love—ever felt that moment…where you’re just trying to tell your friend about how you’re feeling…and they’ve got a big dose of unsolicited advice for ya? Or ever been the person offering unsolicited advice?? Like you’re just so ready to hop in and fix everybody’s “problems”? That’s one of the amazing things that Kyra Iman and Cady get into today. They’re talking about understanding yourself, not conforming to the people around you, how moving their bodies to move their feelings was a game changer, why not to hide your real life from your friends, and so much more!!! I love these humans to the moon and back 🌙, and I’m so excited for you to get to listen to them. They bring the realness. Come listen :) Love ya, Eliza.
