  • Episode 72: Mind Your Business: Overcoming Food Shame with Emily Shaw

    In today's episode, Kara and Kylie welcome their good friend, Emily Shaw, to the podcast. Emily is an online health and fitness coach, and the owner of Dairy Girl Fitness. Emily specializes in helping women reach their fitness and fat loss goals by simplifying the process, and is a huge advocate for the agriculture industry.


    Your hosts and Emily take a deep dive into food shaming -- everything from Emily's experience receiving hate online for supporting meat and dairy consumption, to the critique from loved ones that many of our clients have received when they pursue their health and fitness goals. The girls address why food shaming of any sort is problematic, and the dangerous ways it can impact an individual's relationship with food and even discourage them from continuing on their journey.

    There are some huge takeaways regarding navigating hate of ANY sort, and where it typically stems from when people dish it out, so even if you personally haven't dealt with food shame -- there is likely still a ton of value inside this episode for you!

  • Episode 70: Why "Eating Healthy" May Not Be Enough

    In this week's episode, Kylie and Kara dive into the common mistakes they see women make when trying to reach their fat loss goals -- primarily a lack of strategy.  So many women start "just eating healthy" and "moving more," and then wonder why they either do not see results, or why their results eventually plateau (or rebound). Your hosts explain why this isn't always enough, and how having a periodized nutrition and strength training plan makes a world of difference.


    They also dive into one of the most common phrases they hear from prospective clients -- "I know what to do, I'm just not doing it." They unpack what they believe this really means, and why you could be holding yourself back with this mentality.
