Our Uncensored Life Podcast

In Episode 12, we start off with an interview with our moms. Its a tad late for Mother's Day, but here we are nonetheless. We'll dive into questions about their childhoods, what influences their parenting style, and they'll dish the dirt on us.

 

Then, stay tuned for a really really great subject: Performative Wellness.

 

Do you feel compelled to post about everything you do to stay fit or healthy? Do you feel pressured to do things just because everyone else on social media is?

 

Is it even healthy to do all those things? Listen for this awesome subject and our take on how this phenomenon, performative wellness, is actually MORE stressful, despite people thinking they are doing self care activities.

In Episode 11, we are interviewing Dr Brian Lum, a doctor of chiropractic medicine who practices at Functional Medicine Institute in Shawnee Mission, KS.

 

Dr Lum will describe how what he does, visceral manipulation and fascia work, and why it can be so effective for healing not just soft tissues, but past physical and emotional traumas.

 

We share our experiences of weird things that happened during our treatments at his office (in a good way!) and who this type of chiropractic care may be right for.

 

Then we'll talk about a couple of products this week:

 

Kristina's husband got her these gorgeous silk (WASHABLE!!) pj's

and Sarah found this AMAZING face scrub for $4.99 at Trader Joe's. (the link will take you to Amazon, where it costs more, so unless there isn't a Trader Joe's in your area, go to the actual store to buy it!!)

A weighty subject.

 

Ok, that was a bad pun.

 

This week we're talking about kids and lifting weights, and why its good for them. We'll educate you a little on what weightlifting is and is not, though. And what kids can do and shouldn't do.

 

We'll also talk a little about the benefits of kids weightlifting, like confidence, self esteem, and focus.

 

We mention some resources for finding someone in your area who is qualified and trustworthy, if you're interested in getting your kids into strength sports:

 

Brand X Method (Jeff and Mikki Martin run a second-to-none program that has some awesome information and tools for parents who are interested in learning more about this, and finding a qualified coach.

 

In the Kansas City area, in no specific order:

 

Kristina gave a shout out to Jerrell Barber @ Strength Guild (olympic lifting, general conditioning)

 

Sarah recommended Kansas City Barbell (general strength training, olympic lifting, and powerlifting)

 

and Anna Martin at KC Weightlifting (olympic lifting)

 

Products We Love This Week:

 

Kristina has totally fallen in love with the Rocketbook, a notebook you can write, but also digitally saves all your notes, so you can re-use the same notebook without having to lose your notes.

 

and Sarah finally found an amazing digestive bitters formula in Urban Moonshine bitters. She has been using these to support digestion and really loves that they reduce after meal bloating, too.

In Episode 9, Kristina and Sarah get to interview a phenomenal human being: Jill Cockson, majority owner of Swordfish Tom's, a speakeasy in Kansas City.

Jill has over 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry, and this is not the first bar of which she has been the proprietor. Her concept at Swordfish Tom's is so unique, yet has broken down pre-conceived notions about what a bar or craft cocktail establishment can be.

We'll discuss some trends in the drink industry that have shaped how she has selected ingredients and spirits to carry, as well as how, as a woman entrepreneur, she has applied her unique perspective to her business model, in a male dominated industry.

*This is Sarah, and I feel compelled to apologize because I didn't realize I referred to Whistle Pig as "Whiskey Pig" (I have no idea why, I know better, I promise!)

Well, this one gets a little...off topic. We digress a few times. But its all about whether or not alkaline water is living up to all the hype surrounding it.

Then we'll cover a couple products we love this week:

Sarah discusses why she absolutely loves the Vornado home air purifier (so much that she bought 3)

and

Kristina lists all the reasons why the Instant Pot is the absolute best kitchen appliance you can get. Ever.

This week, we surpassed over 1,000 downloads, thanks to all of you, our fans and loyal listeners, so thanks. Really. That means a whole lot to us :)

In this episode, we speak with our BFFs about how strong female friendships play a role in shaping who we are and how we navigate life's challenges. Thanks to Heather and Dana for joining us!

 

You may be thinking 'What does that have to do with health, or wellness?' Well, its pretty well documented that, as we age, if we do not have strong social connections and support systems (e.g., with other human beings), we are much more likely to experience cognitive decline, mood disorders, and poor health.

 

We will share how we met our besties, what they mean to us, and how they have positively affected (and still do affect) our lives. If you like this episode, share it with your bestie :)
