  • Episode 80: Best of 2022!

    In this episode, Kylie and Kara are looking back at 2022 and reflecting on the highlights of the year! They ranked their "Top 3" in 13 different categories of the year, including episodes of the podcast they've done, trips they've taken, memories they've made together, podcasts/books/shows they loved, their biggest lessons of the year, and more.


    This episode serves as a fun reminder that as you set your intentions for 2023, don't forget to look back and acknowledge the good moments of 2022 -- especially if it felt like a tough year. Sometimes there's more to be grateful for than we realize until we take the time to reflect, and your hosts had a great time doing that together in this episode.

    See you in 2023!

  • Episode 79: Is Orangetheory Hurting Your Progress? with Crystal Clardy

    This week, your hosts are excited to welcome Crystal Clardy to the podcast! Crystal is an online health and fitness coach (and a self-proclaimed carbs and caffeine enthusiast). Like many coaches, Crystal has been through many different phases of fitness and that journey led her to the work she does today.


    A unique part of Crystal's journey (and a huge reason she's joining Kylie and Kara this week), however, is that she is a former Orangetheory coach. Many women turn to group fitness for fat loss, and while Kylie, Kara, and Crystal all agree that there are many ways to live an active lifestyle... group fitness may not be the best (or most effective) option for your aesthetic goals.

    Crystal provides insight from having been deep in the OT scene, and they discuss all things group fitness and your fat loss pursuits. They cover the pros and appeal of group fitness classes such as Orangetheory, and then dive into the issues with using it as your main workout method if body composition changes are your goal.

    If you’ve been relying on group fitness classes that leave you sweaty and “feeling the burn”, but don’t feel like you’re getting anywhere in terms of progress, this episode is for you!

  • Episode 78: What to Do After Time Off From the Gym

    Today, Kylie and Kara have a super helpful episode regarding getting back into the gym after time off. This time of the year, especially, more and more people take a gym hiatus -- whether it be for holiday travel, or just the business of the season, it happens! Sometimes, you may take a break from training for other reasons as well (and at other times of the year) -- for example, if you are on a hormone healing journey, need to reduce stress, have an injury, or are just in a tough season.


    Whatever the cause of your break, your hosts know that restarting can feel daunting sometimes. It's tough to find the motivation to return, and then it can be even more tough to feel like you're somewhat "starting over" if your break was significant. It's important to know that this feeling is temporary, and you can get yourself back to normal relatively quickly -- but there are definitely ways to do this to have the quickest recovery, and keep safety a priority!

    In this episode, you'll get a ton of specific tips and hacks regarding what to focus on and what NOT to focus on as you get back into the gym after time away!

  • Episode 76: Is Your Brain Healthy? with Nick Krantz

    Today, Kylie and Kara are very excited to welcome special guest, and friend, Nick Krantz to the podcast. Nick is an online health and fitness coach, who due to his own life experiences, has a special interest (and expertise) in brain health.


    In today's episode, Nick opens up about his history with multiple TBIs (traumatic brain injuries), the impact it's had on his life, how the traditional medical field has failed him, and some of the ways he has found healing holistically. Through his own journey, he has learned a lot about the brain, and more specifically, the gut-brain connection and inside he shares some of the most important things people can do for their brain health and how it can impact your health and fitness journey overall.

    Nick's story is heartfelt, raw, and inspiring  -- and there are a ton of takeaways not only about taking better care of your brain (and body) in this episode, but about resilience, advocating for yourself, and battling through dark periods in mental health. This is truly a can't miss episode!

  • Episode 74: You Are the Problem and the Solution with Aram Grigorian

    In this week's episode, Kylie and Kara are very excited to welcome Aram Grigorian as their special guest. Aram provides daily food for thought on his popular instagram page, @4weeks2thebeach, but most importantly is an online coach who helps his clients release themselves of their limiting beliefs by changing perspective and helping them see that there are solutions to everything if you want to find them.


    Aram describes himself as a "former finance douche and party boy" who came to the realization that it wasn't the material things in life that drove him, but the impact that he could make on the lives of others in a positive way. He began his personal training career after being laid off from his finance job, and ten years later, has now coached hundreds of clients with his belief system of food quality/quantity, training intensity/frequency, and rest/recovery.

    Kylie, Kara, and Aram truly cover it all in this episode when it comes to what's holding you back from reaching your goals. From habit-building and getting consistent with the basics, to the issues with constantly jumping from program to program and always seeking a "new" solution, to playing the long-game with your goals....there are a TON of enlightening nuggets of wisdom inside that you don't want to miss.
