In this episode, I talk about:

• this episode: Episode 234: How to take care of yourself and why we don't know how
• how racism impedes our ability to give our body what it needs
• how a backpacking trip solidified my understanding of how white supremacy and colonialism has shaped how we care for ourselves and our communities
• everything you need to feel good in your body is not taught, applauded, or popular
• intentional weight loss & fat loss is not biologically normal
• intentional weight loss & fat loss is only socioligically normal
• what I understand differently about my own seasonal depression
• you're not going to learn more about your body by becoming obsessed with tracking your body's data
• your body knows everything and contains infinite wisdom

I changed the podcast cover art! Wanna know why?

In this episode, we cover a lot of things:

• why iterating and evolving is a necessary ingredient for the long-haul (true for fitness and business!)
• how my internal world affects my external world
• pre and post covid Christina
• things that were getting in my way with the podcast & what I'm doing about it
• what the new cover art signifies and the new "rules" I've created for myself and how it will affect the show

If you're training clients 1:1, you'll eventually get to the point where something needs to shift. I often recommend shifting into a membership model, which doesn't always make sense, but oftentimes solves a multitude of business problems.

In this episode, I talk about:

• my first business coach
• why I got an MBA
• no one in fitness understands business
• no one in business understands fitness
• teaching your clients to rely less on your sessions (gasp!)
• creating a fitness container that's mutually beneficial for you, your clients, and your business

On this light hearted episode, Jenna and I reveal totally unsurprisng things about our younger years.

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.
