Thanks to Laura McKowen for the inspiration for the first part of this title. "It's not your fault, it is your responsibility" is something we borrowed from her work.

This episode is designed to help you see that your failings in conquering a diet plan or addictive behaviors are not your fault. We list 5 reasons why that vary from the design of the body to skeletons in your closet. We also hope to inspire you to take action and control over the things you can and we encourage you to be intentional with your actions and your money to support businesses you believe in and stop supporting the ones you don't.

This episode is for personal contemplation. What does healthy look like? Do you tend to judge a person's health by certain physical markers rather than their substance? I want to challenge the common narrative that healthy looks a specific way and broaden the definition of health to include more than just looks and biomarkers.

In this episode, we skim the surface of our experience with diet culture - particularly restrictive fad diets that drew us away from health and into the realm of disordered eating.

This episode is the unveiling of our online community, Radical Existence.

We cover the four pillars of our community: cooking together, moving together, breathing together, and being together.

We've coined the term "chill-wellness" as what we offer at Radical Existence. 

We no longer subscribe to fad diets and "looking the part" when it comes to health. We're learning to look for the answers within first, followed by simple and science-backed advice for how to keep our bodies, minds, and spirits thriving.

In this episode, my best friend Natalie and I talk about the Radical Read Untamed by author and activist Glennon Doyle

This work has been described as soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It is a story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honor our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts so that we become women who can finally look at ourselves and say: There she is.
