You've got one part of you that wants to go to the gym and one part of you that doesn't. Who wins? It depends. Tune in to find out how I made peace with my lazy self and why I can't stop mincing fresh garlic and making lattes at home in the morning.

In this solo business episode, I cover:

• what are systems?
• how do you laundry is a system, whether it's working or not is a different story
• how mapping out your processes helps highlight what your business needs
• how having systems in place makes it super easy to know what you need to buy or who you need to hire

Jenna and I are back with another cross-over episode! In our first crossover episode, Jenna and I talked about Navigating Friendships in Adulthood. Today's episode we talk about adult friendships gone awry.

Surabhi and I talk about:

• female pleasure
• did your parents ever give you "the talk"?
• the importance of using the anatomical names of your sex organs
• why female pleasure is considered taboo and remains largely unstudied
• how sex education is lacking
• being conventionally pretty and not raising little girls to value only that
• the importance of cultivating friendships that don't include judgement and shame
• why women need to seek pleasure outside of the bedroom & how to do that
• the clitoris. Did you know 31% of men don't know where it's at? Imagine if 31% of women didn't know where the penis is! And not even 100% women know where to locate their own clitoris. The implications and impact of this are unimaginable even outside of a "sexual pleasure" context. This is a conversation about bodily autonomy, power, and agency.

What's the difference between cardio and conditioning? 

If we boil it down to the most simplified answer, it's: all conditioning is cardio, not all cardio is conditioning.

But the power of language is undeniable, so rather than split the hairs of the science and research of it all, today I talk about:

• how I used to approach cardio and what I used it for
• the difference in approach and intention of switching the use of the term "cardio" for conditioning
• how I approach conditioning and what makes it so much more enjoyable than "doing cardio"
• some ideas for ways you can present, explain, and participate in conditioning that feels fun, exiciting, and full of purpose for you + your life

It's a podcasting crossover event! Today, Jenna and I discuss the ins and outs of balancing adulthood + friendships, covering everything from communication, boundaries, to politics, and being afraid no one will come to your birthday party.

Inspired by conversations on IG stories, today's episode includes some topics about navigating friendships sent in by listeners. 

We're excited to hang out with you today! 

In this business solo episode, I talk about:

• what is under promising and over delivering?
• the interesting reasons why we do this
• why over delivering is important and ways to do it that don't cost you your peace
• a different way to think about over delivering
• the importance of teaching your clients to fish

Content warning: we discuss eating disorders explicitly. If you're not in a good head space to listen to topics like this, I'll catch you on our next episode.
