  • #030: Reclaiming Joy in Movement and Exercise

    Both Hannah and Holly used to have unsustainable exercise routines. The intensity, lack of flexibility, and motivation behind each gym session were making us feel worse, not better like we thought they were. Now, we try to approach movement from a more mindful and holistic perspective. Not sure how to do that? We share the process it took to break down the negative messages we get from the fitness industry and replace them with our own needs instead.

    Are you dragging yourself through workouts you don’t enjoy, giving yourself rules like “you will workout x times per week,” or afraid to tone down the intensity of your regimen because you’re not sure what will happen? If so, or if you have another type of unhappy relationship with exercise, this episode is for you. We talk about how to stop chasing exercise intensity that will change your body and instead use movement as something mindful and intuitive.

    Question: I am entering the new year acutely aware of inhabiting a bigger body. I’m trying to steer myself away from the urger to cut back on my food intake to lose the weight that I’ve gained. Do you have any suggestions on how to overcome these feelings?

  • #029: Diets don't work. Here's why.
    Thinking about “cleaning up” your diet this year? Considering a cleanse to “get you back on track”? We beg of you: ditch that idea ASAP. Diets just don’t work for anyone or anything. There are some very real reasons that diets fail - and not one of them is the fault of the dieter. If you don’t stick to your diet resolution, if you ditch the cleanse halfway, or if you don’t change your body at all this year, it’s not your fault. In fact, not accomplishing those things is actually better for you in the long run.

  • #028: Is it OK to Want To Lose Weight?
    Body positivity has been getting a lot of flak lately. Critics say that body positivity is shaming people who want to lose weight. They argue that by supporting body positivity, people have made those trying to “better themselves” through weight loss feel uncomfortable and ashamed.
    This begs the question: Can you support body positivity and want to lose weight at the same time? Is it okay to want to lose weight at all?
    There’s one crucial piece of information these criticisms are missing: That losing weight doesn’t always make you healthier, no matter your body size. In this episode, we look at these criticisms of the movement through a different lens that doesn’t view weight loss as a necessary thing at all.

  • #027: Dear Weight Watchers, CAN U NOT
    Last week, Weight Watchers released a new program called “Freestyle.” It claims to provide a flexible approach to dieting and promote weight loss in a healthy way. We just want to chime in and say that “flexible dieting” and “healthy weight loss” are basically oxymorons. Just because WW says it’s body positive doesn’t mean it is! If I call a tree an airplane, does that mean it can fly? Nope it does not. If you want to know what on Earth we’re talking about, listen in!

  • #026: Happy Holidays! Who’s Ready For the Parties?​​​​​​​
    Ah, the holiday season… Filled with family, fun, festivities, and… sugar detoxes? Clean eating? Repenting for last night’s fried-appetizer-filled sins? If you get anxious about food during these next couple of weeks, you’re not alone. We used to be right there with you-- creeping on Instagram influencer’s workouts, baking those “healthier” holiday cookies and cakes (we’re looking at you, gluten-free cookie skillet), and just overall stressing about how this season was disrupting our routines. This season, though, we feel far from that. We’re more relaxed and have been genuinely celebrating the holidays with the people we love. In this episode, we share the mindset shift that got us here and why we’re skipping the pre-holidays detox or cleanse (and what we’re choosing to do instead). This year, we’re having our truly healthiest holiday season.

    Question answered: Hey guys! Love your podcast and your positive influence! I’m personally having trouble ditching the idea of eating at certain times. I have this notion in my head that after I eat I meal I can’t be hungry and can only eat a number of hours afterwards. Any advice on how to ditch this mentality? I want to be ok with eating whenever I am hungry or want to but I’m so set on this imaginary eating schedule.

  • #024: Count Your Blessings, Not Your Calories
    Friends, an episode that Holly & I have been super, super excited about is finally here.
    This week, we're chatting all about Thanksgiving and holiday feasting. We address: the fear of overeating on holidays that we've experienced in the past, diet talk leading up to/after Turkey Day, and the guilt we used to feel if we chose to indulge at the dessert table.  We bring up how it’s normal and common for people to have that feeling that they “need” to work out during the holidays, and how you do not actually have to work out at all if you just don’t feel like it. We also discuss: what we plan (& don’t plan ;-) ) to do on this year’s Thanksgiving morning, family inspired-pressures to diet or compare one another’s plates during dinner, upsetting and discriminatory jokes about fat people during the holidays, and family members who may be trying to “get healthy” and/or “watch their weight”.
    This is a great episode for anyone who’s learning or wanting to learn how to practice intuitive eating during the time of year when it can be the hardest to do that, what withall the constant pressures of diet culture circulating online and on Instagram .  
    Question answered this week:
    How have you been able to analyze and confront your thoughts while transitioning to HAES and intuitive eating when you are presented with paleo/GF/restrictive/healthy-option choices? For example, I love IHOP’s harvest grain and nut pancakes and am struggling with figuring out if I truly love the taste and texture, or if I am residually “loving” them because they’re the “more restrictive” option when faced with a menu of not-so-restrictive choices.

  • #023: Intuitive Eating - Are You Doing It Wrong?
    Intuitive eating is hard. We get that. It’s taken us a long time to work through the nuts and bolts of it all and start tuning into what our bodies REALLY need, instead of what we’ve all been trained to THINK they do. We’re still working on it! But we want to share our wisdom so you can feel as empowered as we do to make caring, compassionate food choices in your daily life. Sometimes, intuitive eating is eating a bag of chips on your couch. Other times, it’s cooking yourself a vegetable-filled meal on a Sunday just ‘cause. And other times, it’s eating a bland sandwich at the airport because that’s all that’s available.
    Eating intuitively always looks different. But one thing that’s always the same about it? It feels incredible. In this episode, we talk all about how to do it, roadblocks we’ve hit along the way, misconceptions about intuitive eating, and so much more.
