The Embodied Baddie Podcast

We often hear about women who have embraced a healthy body-positive mindset and how that one active step in deciding to accept one's body can be life-altering. Breaking up with perfectionism and society’s standards is key to embracing body-positivity and self-care. You shouldn’t allow shame and the opinion of others to influence how you view yourself and your unique journey. Grace yourself, learn from your mistakes and embrace the messiness. Today on the Self Love Breakfast Club we welcome guest Jordan Gomez. Jordan is a body-positive life coach who helps women lose weight, gain muscle, and feel confident in their skin. She focuses on self-love and body-positivity as the ideal way for women to create a long-term lifestyle change. Tune in to today’s episode, as we kick down and break up with perfectionism with help from life coach Jordan Gomez.

Finding freedom in the food you eat is both enlightening and liberating, yet achieving this goal can be challenging. Today we speak with Sloane Elizabeth about food freedom and the effort it takes to achieve it. As a holistic food freedom and body confidence coach, Sloane uses a combination of nutritional science and spirituality to help women release their food fears and restrictions. We lay the foundations for our conversation by hearing about Sloane’s personal goals and what she is grateful for before talking about her food philosophy. Sloane then walks us through the three different layers of “self”, paying special attention to our spiritual side. Toward the end of the show, we find out just how smart our bodies are, and why our brains have good intentions but might not offer us the best solutions. As she explains, it’s about returning trust to our bodies and recognizing it for the intelligent entity that it is. To find out more about how you can achieve food freedom, be sure to join us today.

From how you look to how good sex can be, there is a muscle that few people talk about despite its huge impact on your quality of life. A key issue for many women, today we speak to Yarlap Co-Founder MaryEllen Reider about the importance of the pelvic floor and what you can do to strengthen this muscle. We open the episode with host Chrystal Rose sharing how entering a new year is a time to reassess your health and wellness goals. After talking about changes that she’s making to her fitness routine, we dive into our conversation with MaryEllen. We touch on what Kegel exercises are and why most people aren’t doing them correctly before exploring what can lead to a weakened pelvic floor. A profound insight, MaryEllen explains how many women can overcome urinary incontinence by strengthening their pelvic floor. She then discusses how developing this muscle leads to better sex and overall health. We ask MaryEllen about her journey into women’s health and her answers highlight how poorly understood women’s needs are. Near the end of the episode, she tells listeners about products that can help them achieve “pelvic floors of steel.” While challenges like urinary incontinence are common, that doesn’t mean that they have to be normal. Tune in to hear the benefits of developing your pelvic floor.
