What is your definition of beauty? Is it the typical definition? The one that society and the media has us believing? Did you know that studies actually show that it's a woman's confidence that makes her most attractive? A confident girl is someone who is not afraid of being herself and feels comfortable in her own skin. She radiates from within, which allows her to focus her attention on others to help others feel more comfortable in their own skin too. The world needs more confident girls, don't you think?

On today's episode, Jess and Cody have special guest joining in on this conversation. Blakely is a fashion, lifestyle and beauty blogger. She loves fashion and looking her best, but she has become very aware of how much more important it is to be a voice and advocate that promotes confidence, beauty and body positivity from within. She sees that the focus, especially on social media, is all about image. That's what we do on social media, we look at tiny images, so it's focus can be more about what we see. Blakely wants to help shift that focus, to focus more on positive attributes and contributions. As a mother of two daughters, she tries to be extra aware of the language she uses about bodies and beauty around them. She recognized that her mother set an amazing example for her, which helped mold her into a confident women. She shares the tips we all can use to also have this same influence on our daughters, and also on how we can discover our own inner beauty confidence.

Did you know that research on the mind-body connection is gaining ground in mainstream science, and is no longer relegated to “alternative” medicine. We now know, in a deeper and more detailed way, how thoughts and feelings can affect our physical health and well-being. This is a concept that we all understand instinctively, and often relate to in our own lives, but it’s good to see the science support our shared experience.

There is a neurological, endocrine, and immunological conversation at work in every one of us that is reflective of our emotional state. While it’s very important to look at the root causes of conditions from a functional nutrition standpoint, it's also important to address the emotional aspects at the same time for long-term recovery. The emotional patterns behind officially diagnosed hormone conditions like miscarriage, infertility, ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, and other conditions are common to many, many women and very much a shared female experience. Understanding this aspect is an opportunity to have compassion for ourselves and for other women.

On today's episode Jess and Cody welcome special guest Taryn Neves, who is an advocate for empowering women with processing emotions properly. She shares her own story of what she learned while experiencing four devastating miscarriages, and infertility. It's a vulnerable conversation, but its an empowering conversation that will be helpful for many who can relate to Taryn, and her message of hope and healing.

On today's podcast two books were recommended to go deeper into this subject. 
   A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course On Miracles 
   by Marianne Williamson
   and
   You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hays

Do you find yourself racing to the pantry when you're feeling down or otherwise upset? Finding comfort in food is common. Today, Jess and Cody have invited a special guest, Ashley Turner, who is an emotional eating and cravings expert, to join them on this episode. They discuss the difference between "emotional eating" versus "cravings". They talk all about how to figure out what we are actually "hungry" for. Because, what we might be hungry for isn't always the kind of food that can be served on a plate. Ashley talks about "soul food" and "body food" and how to figure out where you might be deficient, and how to get to the root cause of your hunger. Food may help ease emotions initially, but addressing the feelings behind hunger is very important in the long term. Listen in to learn alternative ways to deal with emotions, and for tips on how to better get in touch with yourself and your feelings.

We are big believers in positive thinking, and we do believe that we can accomplish "most anything" we set our minds to. However, we likely cant accomplish "everything" we set our minds to, no matter how much we think we want to! That can lead us to feeling defeated, and often leads other's to feel let down by us, too.

On today's episode, Cody and Jess share how they have gone from feeling pressured to say yes to everything, to now feeling more confident to gracefully say "no". They went from being master to-do list builders to being more intentional on what they put on their lists. They realized that every time they said yes to something or someone, they often had to say no to one of their other priorities. Listen in as they share tips on how to get clear on your priorities and how say no, without damaging relationships.

Do you struggle with anxiety? You're not alone! Did you know that we are a hundred times more likely to have significant mood problems, like anxiety and depression, than people born a hundred years ago? Are our lives so much more unhappy? Not necessarily, but it's true that we are facing unprecedented amounts of stress in our day, far above what people faced a hundred years ago. And it's having a big effect on us! We used to experience acute stress, it came and then it went away. Our intuitive 'fight or flight' system would kick in when needed, and then shut off once the threat was gone. But now, we experience chronic stress, so our sympathetic nervous system rarely shuts down, and is running the show most days.

On today's podcast Jess and Cody talk about feelings of anxiety and how our lifestyles, and what we eat and drink, can have a huge effect in causing anxiety, or on the positive side, provide support for our stress-response system to help reduce anxiety. Have you ever heard of the term "nutritherapy"? Cody talks about the power of nutritherapy, which is a practice that seeks to prevent or correct disease by the use of nutritional supplements including vitamins, trace elements, or macronutrients. Tune in to learn more about what supplements and nutritional strategies you can implement today that will help you take charge of your emotions again.

Would you say you have a little food fear? When it comes to our health and body composition goals it's pretty natural and often encouraged to see food as our enemy. We count every calorie or macro that goes into our mouth, never miss a grueling workout and if we eat too much we sometimes feel bad about ourselves and try to make up for our "lack of will-power" by eating less and exercising more. Sound familiar? So many of us have fallen into this "less is more" trap at some point in our lives. There's a lot of information being thrown at us in magazines, on blogs, on social media, etc, that if we want to look fit and healthy, the approach we need to take is to eat less. It can be so frustrating when we follow this advice to keep cutting calories and adding more exercise, to then actually see our bodies STOP progressing. Today's episode is all about why this happens, and why less isn't always more. 

Today's guest is Megan Millecam, a fitness and nutrition expert that provides virtual training + nutrition coaching. She is an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer with a BS in Exercise Science and a Masters in Health Science. Cody and Jess are so excited to visit with her today, because she has worked with thousands of women to reach their health and fitness goals and is so successful in empowering women to have a healthy relationship with food and exercise. Her positive, no-nonsense approach is what she is loved and admired for. She shares that there is a better way!

Listen in today as Jess, Cody and Megan share how they each have learned through their own experiences and from coaching others, what actually provides MORE when it comes to our health and fitness. They share tips and insights that you won't want to miss!

Today's episode was an impromptu and an emotional conversation between Cody and Jess all about the importance of letting ourselves be vulnerable with our mixed emotions. Jess opens up about what she learned a few weeks ago, when all in one day she received the news that her Grandpa passed away and it was also the day that exciting new products were launched at Mixhers. She fully admits what a struggle it was to process multiple emotions that seemed to be surfacing all at the same time. We all can relate to what Jess has been feeling. We all experience mixed emotions every single day. Jess and Cody openly discuss the need for feeling and accepting every single emotion. The happy and joyful emotions and even the hard and uncomfortable emotions, instead of ignoring them and burying them down deep. When we don't express our emotions, those emotions can often negatively show up physically and mentally down the road. It's truly an essential part of our human experience and is necessary for health and healing.

Are you a master to-do list maker? Do you put everyone else's needs before your own? Nurture Yourself is one of our eight Pillars of Health. Taking time for your self-care needs is necessary, and not just a luxury. We can be focusing on all other areas of our health, but if we neglect our own self-nurturing, our hormone health can take a quick nose dive. On today's part-two episode Cody shares the warning signs that signal to us that we need more self-nurturing in our lives. Listen in to see if you relate to any of these signs.

Taking time for your self-care needs is necessary, and not just a luxury. We can be focusing on all other areas of our health, but if we neglect our own self-nurturing, our hormone health can take a quick nose dive. On today's episode Cody shares her personal experience of how her efforts to be "perfectly healthy" actually sabotaged her in the long run. After years of intense exercise, strict nutrition, and all "the things" we think we need to do to achieve a perfect body, her body completely broke down. She was given a strict prescription by her doctor to slow down and to nurture herself more each day. This was the first and most important pillar of health that led her through her healing journey.
