Friends.... how many of us have them? Besides us (hehe)... do you want more friends and if so do you know how to attain them? This week we are covering how to make friends as an adult (obvi we can’t just go to the park and ask people to be our friend).

We can all agree, it's not easy as an adult to make friends but are you self sabotaging yourself into a life of 18 cats and a knitting club membership? We give you all the tips on how to make meaningful relationships in your life and what to do if you struggle with connecting with others.

Olivia and Amy go over two very different types of personalities that could be causing you your solo trips to the beach. So, could it be YOU that's causing this issue? If it is, we got ya back! Check out this week’s episode to dig into some self reflection and make meaningful, lasting relationships with others.

Have fun!

We are stoked to get this baby launched! It's super apparent to us that there is a lack of solid information around mental health and we'd like to stand in the gap and bring some knowledge, insight and understanding. Olivia, since she IS the resident therapist at NGP HQ, will be spearheading this up. Here's what you can expect:

1. Just What The Doctor Ordered will be much more brief than our regular episodes.

2. Olivia will be flying solo most of the time. Amy may pop in every now and again and a guest may, too, but largely you'll be chatting--er, listening--to Olivia

3. Topical discussions, book discussions, answering specific questions that are sent to us by YOU.

4. Always a good time.

Enjoy the show!

Codependency. You may not be able to really explain WHAT it is but you know it's bad, right? Olivia is going to unpack it for you over the next 5 weeks as she dives into the 5 core symptoms of codependency. Hold on to your hats, kids.

Do us a favor: go buy Pia Mellody's book "Facing Codependency" and walk alongside Olivia as she unpacks these big concepts.

Enjoy!

The Nasty Girls have a plus one in the house this week:  Steph Hammerman. What's so “nasty" about Steph you ask? Well, we only have so much space but to start she is the world’s FIRST Level 2 CrossFit Trainer with Cerebral Palsy, competed in 15 marathons as a hand cyclist,  helped create WheelWOD,  prayed with Rich Froning, himself, and eats cookies as part of her nutrition protocol with Own Your Eating. Don't get it twisted...she's still an athlete first.

Did we also mention she's a cancer survivor?

Amy and Olivia hear her amazing journey and learn how she took a risk turning down a lucrative job offer straight out of school to chase a passion. Fast forward to now and she's working with all the big names, like, Kelly Starrett, RomWOD, Chris Hinshaw and Carl Paoli...just to name a few. As the Director of Marketing for WheelWOD, she seeks to normalize fitness for all athletes and has a unique hand in creating workouts, specifically, for adaptive athletes. She freaking rocks!

Welcome to the Nasty Girls Podcast, Steph Hammerman.

MISSING: passion. Have you seen it? Would you know what it looks like? What does it really mean? This episode is dedicated to passion in and out of the gym. Tune in to find how you can make simple changes to reap big rewards.

The gym is a seemingly hard place to find passion. We give you some tips on how to reverse the thought process behind your workouts and possibly gain an edge on getting closer to your goal(s). We discuss how rooting yourself in the community around you is a great tool you can use. It sounds crazy but working out and the friends you make in the gym could be the key to finding your passion on your fitness journey.

"El passion," as Amy likes to call it, is a mysterious idea. There are so many versions of what passion is so it's easy to be confused as to what yours should look like. What's important is that you know your strengths and we are here to help you find them. So, whether you're looking for passion in the form of a steamy novel, or something more on the professional level, the Nasty Girls got yo back! Enjoy!

The post El Passion: Stop Doing Crap You Hate appeared first on The Nasty Girls Podcast

This week, Olivia returns the favor and we get to know the other half of the nasty girls...Mrs. Olivia Pelts! Hold on to your hats, folks, this one is one of those "ya think ya know but you have no idea" types of interviews.

Olivia shares the in and outs of what it was like growing up in a family of 5, being an awesome tom boy, and rocking bad haircuts. Olivia also allows us to get a glimpse into the triumphs and heartbreak that has shaped her into the strong bad ass woman that she is today!

So today, let's celebrate the original nasty girl herself, Olivia Pelts.

Stay Nasty,

We are well into our relationship by now and figured you might enjoy getting to know your favorite hosts a little bit more. In today's episode, Olivia takes on the challenge of interviewing Amy and asking the hard questions. You'll find a lot of courage and vulnerability in this episode and we hope it resonates with you. Let us know what stood out to you the most in this episode. Amy, I'm proud of you and to be doing this work alongside of you. Thanks for being a part of my story :) --The Nasty Girls

Wow. It is incredible how much incredible feedback we have received from our last episode: 13 reasons why we love mental health. Seriously. Mind-blown. We figured that it was a big enough topic for us to come back and do a little minisode...and Olivia felt like she wanted to better explain a few areas that she just couldn't get to in the last episode. So, we explored ways we self-sabotage, what the heck is codependency, why shopping around for a counselor is a super good idea and connecting with those around you because we're all going through something.

May is not only about Justin Timberlake memes, it's also Mental Heath awareness month! Luckily we didn't have to go far to get the best in the business because we already have her. Mrs. Olivia Pelts, founder of Sunshine City Counseling, herself is giving us all the details about mental health and how to incorporate it into your life. We discuss how mental health has changed over the last few decades, why going to counseling is the best decision you can make and how to know when you need to see a professional. Oh, we also chat about the ever so popular Netflix hit "13 Reasons Why", oh yeah, we get deep. This is one of our personal faves and we can't wait to hear what you think!
