Juicy Bits

In this episode, Jen shares the juicy details of her oftentimes wild personal life as she explores whether or not she is a cougar, the popularly defined 40-plus-year-old woman who dates men who are at least 10 years younger. If you've been labeled with this sexist term send us your feedback as we work to redefine what it means to age and thrive in a society that would prefer we grow old "gracefully."

Hot off the lifting of mask mandates and making it through a winter being fully vaccinated, Jen and Jillian chat about what it's like getting back to things IRL. Warning: It's kinda messy.

When you close your eyes and imagine a skier or a snowboarder, what do you see? If you ask our guest Liz Toft, she'll share a perspective that is rarely represented in mainstream snowsports media. Liz is the CEO of Elevated Locals, and in collaboration with Coalition Snow, just launched a web series called Our Lens that documents the experiences of BIPOC women and non-binary skiers and riders.

In the latest episode of Juicy Bits, Jen sits down with Humaira Falkenberg, an alpinist, ski mountaineer, kite surfer, and Principal of JEDI Outdoors. Humaira, who identifies as an immigrant and woman of color, has dedicated the last 30 years to making the outdoors in the United States a more inclusive space. You won't want to miss this conversation that explores everything to how Humaira culled her skills in the outdoor and JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion) worlds, what she learned in the first-ever on-snow JEDI training with Olympic Gold medalist Deb Armstrong, and her most memorable outdoor experience.

What do you do when a ski bro shares unsolicited advice about how women should represent other women in snowsports? You record a podcast and trash talk, obvs. In this episode of Juicy Bits, Jen & Jillian dish about this and so much more: Does representation exist outside of Instagram? Are traditional representations of hardcore skiers alienating? What constitutes representation and progression? As always, we'd love to hear from you.

For the first time in nearly two years, Jen and Jillian got together in the same room to record Juicy Bits, so you know it's going to be good (and weird and messy). The topic of conversation? The toxicity of white womanhood in the wellness industry and let's be honest, in general. Inspired by a column that Jen wrote for the Truckee-based publication Moonshine Ink, this episode explores how Jen and Jillian continue to gain clarity on their values and how their actions fall in line, sometimes resulting in lost friendships, partnerships, and more.

There will come a time for many of us when the notion of "feeling hot" will morph into something different, better, worse, weird...

It's the question that women have been asking themselves their entire lives: What kind of bitch am I? In this episode of Juicy Bits, Jen and Jillian explore the nuances of being a bitch, whether it's a bad bitch, boss bitch, basic bitch, feminist bitch, or simply just a bitch. Because at the end of the day, none of us were put on this earth to make other people happy. Have a listen and share your thoughts with us at [email protected].
