Sweat Out; Happiness In!

What's up, Achievers?! New look, who dis?!

We're back at it again, but with new artwork, a new intro, a new song, new everything! Well, of course, the same positive and encouraging vibes!

We polled all of you on IG recently asking whether you would prefer a Q+A format or Deep Dives where we hone in on a singular topic, and the overwhelming majority of you chose the Deep Dive format so we're going to be prioritizing that!

For this episode, we dive deep on kettlebells, their benefits, and a step-by-step breakdown of the swing!

What's up, Achievers?! We hope you've had a wonderful week thus far!

We kick this episode off with our thoughts on the new Peloton ad and all of the outrage associated with it (0:40).

We then go into a really big topic about weight loss. Where do you start? Does it make you bulky? Should you count macros? There's just so much more to weight loss than a single blanket answer which is why we rarely even address it on the show even though so many of the questions we receive revolve around it. We did our best to really give complete and thoughtful answers here but that also led to a lot of drawn out dialogue to make sure we really thoroughly covered our bases. The last thing we want to do is say anything that could potentially be damaging and we want to be as mindful of that as possible! We hope you'll stick with us here! (7:35). For more tangible weight loss tips you can check out episode 75!

We don't have a Stories That'll Make Your Heart Sing Segment because we totally forgot! We do talk a little bit about our renovations and our rebrand though at the end!

Lauren and I decided to not chat in advance before this episode and decided to see what naturally came out through conversation. We thought it came out pretty well - we hope you enjoy it!
