Some conversations feel impossible to start—but avoiding them is often what’s holding you back the most.

In this episode of Wellness Interrupted, we’re diving into the uncomfortable stuff: the hard talks we avoid in relationships, with ourselves, and with the people closest to us. From fears around rejection to not wanting to rock the boat, we’re unpacking the real reasons we stay silent—and what can shift when we stop.

We talk about:

• Why tough conversations feel so scary (and why that’s normal)

• The unspoken tension that builds when things go unsaid

• Why having tough talk with ourselves is KEY to change

• How to approach difficult topics without blowing up your relationship

• The exact moments we chose to speak up—and how it changed everything

Whether it’s about body image, boundaries, unmet needs, or personal growth, this episode is here to remind you that the hard conversations are often the ones that bring you closer—to each other, and to yourself.

Welcome to the very first episode of Wellness Interrupted! We’re Katie & Ryan—married, in the fitness industry, and figuring it all out just like you. This podcast is all about the unfiltered conversations most couples won’t have… and we’re starting with a big one: insecurities.

Whether it’s in your relationship, your body, or your fitness journey, insecurities have a way of showing up and silently shaping everything—how you show up in the gym, how you communicate, and even how you connect with your partner. In this episode, we’re opening up about the real insecurities we’ve both faced—from body image struggles and confidence dips to the silent stories we tell ourselves that no one else knows.

We talk about:

• How insecurities show up differently in men and women

• The things your partner might be feeling but not saying

• Why looking good doesn’t always mean feeling confident

• The power of being vulnerable—and how it’s helped us grow

• How to support each other through your individual journeys without comparison or judgment

This episode is raw, honest, and totally us. No filters, no pretending we’ve got it all figured out—just a real conversation we wish more couples would have. Whether you’re working through your own fitness goals or navigating body image in a relationship, we hope this helps you feel seen, supported, and a little less alone.
