In this week's episode, Syd and Soph delve into the phenomenon of #AlmondMoms - sharing listener stories, sharing their own experiences from life growing up, & talk about HOW we can avoid becoming them while being healthy... is it possible???

Listener #StraightCanid Moment this week involves a drunk moment we're all guilty of at some point in our lives - OOPSY. 

The girls tackle the complex relationship between weight loss and body acceptance/love. Can you be trying to lose weight AND love your body at the same time? How does generational trauma affect our relationship with food and our bodies? They discuss generational dieting, the difference between ingredient vs. snack households, body shaming that's passed down through generations, and the impact of almond mom phrases on our mindset around nutrition and dieting culture. WTF MOM! Jk - our mama's were just doing the absolute best they could & had to grow up with allllllll the ALMOND MOM habits normalized.

HAPPY MONDAY <3
Dr. Jolene Brighten joins the podcast this week to talk all things birth control and  hormonal imbalances. We've been waiting for this one!!

Dr. Jolene Brighten NMD, is a hormone expert, nutrition scientist, and thought leader in women’s medicine. She is board certified in naturopathic endocrinology and trained in clinical sexology. Dr. Brighten is the author of Is This Normal and Beyond The Pill, a non-judgemental guide to creating hormone balance, eliminating unwanted symptoms, and building the sexual desire you crave.

We asked listeners to write in their questions.. and Dr. Jolene answered! How does hormonal birth control affect your mental health? Sex drive? Digestion?

And to be clear, she is not anti-brith control. Not at all. She is pro-informed consent and helping you make the best decision for you. She is dedicated to uncovering the root cause of your symptoms.

Soph candidly shares her journey off the pill & Syd shares her current experience being on the pill. Listener #StraightCandid moment this week is my waterpark biggest NIGHTMARE LOL.

Do you ever catch yourself thinking about how your your body looks instead of just LIVING in your body? As Lindsay Kite, Ph.D. and Lexie Kite, Ph.D. would say, “we are in a society where we are not living our lives for us anymore, but we are living for how other people may perceive our lives.” Lindsay and Lexie are identical twins and leading experts in body image and the harmful effects of objectification. They wrote the book More Than a Body- Your Body is an Instrument Not an Ornament and are codirectors of the nonprofit “beauty redefined” and both received PhDs in body image studies. So yes, we are talking genius level expertise. 


In this episode Syd and Soph had some mind boggling revelations that lead to some tears, laughs, and vulnerability. Please share this episode with not only your lady friends but also, the men in your life. Change starts here.

Friends are allowed to make mistakes - at least, that's what you thought when your friend forgot your birthday. But then she flaked on you for second time that week, purposefully excluded you from the group chat, and made fun of you in front of mutual friends. Yo. This is not a friend and you deserve better. 

Syd and Soph chat all about their personal friendship icks, dealbreakers, breakups, and how to make adult friends. As always we share some funny moments from the weekend and spend four minutes too long chatting about what we would do if our family caught us masturbating.. um no. lol. Enjoy!
