Just in time to kick off winter, Jen and Jillian are back for the fifth season of Juicy Bits! To kick things off, we're taking a stroll down memory lane, revisiting some of our favorite moments from past episodes. If you're new to our podcast, welcome. If you've been listening for a while, we're so happy you're back. Have a few minutes? Leave us a review wherever you listen to podcasts and send ideas and love to juicybits@coalitionsnow.com.

Welcome Back!

We created Juicy Bits because we wanted to continue the conversations that we start out on the trail and on the chair lift. Hosted by our CEO Jen Gurecki and Ambassador Jillian Raymond, they talk candidly about everything from dude soup, to sex, to politics, to equity in the outdoors. We occasionally (read: frequently) drop F-bombs, interview some of the most interesting people in the outdoors and beyond, and say things that many of us think but don’t feel comfortable saying out loud. If you are easily offended or looking for something that is G Rated, this is not the podcast for you. But if you love truth-telling and irreverence, get ready to laugh, cry, and maybe pee your pants a little bit.

2023 Takeaways

On one of the first snowy mornings of the year, Jen and Jillian cozied up to chat about finding comfort when you feel like you're failing and what steps to take to move past it. Per the usual, there are a few tangents and no one knows why they don't get edited out. If you enjoy this episode, consider leaving a review and sharing it with a friend!

Snowy Morning Revelations

In the latest episode of Juicy Bits, Jen and Jillian mull over everything from cutting your own bangs to committed non-intimate relationships to the sorts of exercises one must consider to prepare for ski season. It's a little bit of everything and a whole lot of Jen and Jillian's friendship. 

A Little & A Lot

It's that time of year when all we can think about is the start of ski season. That's why Jen sat down with the founder of Ski Babes in the latest episode of Juicy Bits to learn more about their winter conditioning program, what it means to cultivate women-centered spaces, how to experience fear in healthy ways, and more.
