This week, I'm talking about the similarities I started noticing in the online anti-diet and pro-diet spaces, and why I was feeling equally jaded by both ends of the spectrum. This ultimately led me to find my own voice and framework for how I want to hold space for my 1:1 clients without pushing my own opinions, biases, and agendas on to them. This space allows for whatever goals and desires you have when it comes to fitness, nutrition, and your body.  I think something like this is severely lacking in the health and fitness spaces. Because I do believe you can create a solid relationship with food and fitness, AND have physique goals. 
I'm also talking about my first call with our wedding planner, Love is Blind, and other random bits and pieces. Thanks for being here!

This week, I'm telling you about my tech struggles that ensued when I went to go record this week's episode, apparently I can't blame it on a mercury retrograde. Of course I'm talking about Taylor Swifts, Midnights album--I'm sharing my initial favs and the ones that grew on me. Finally, I'm talking about the diet-binge rollercoaster and WHY restriction is NOT the solution to chronic binging. Thank you and ILY for listening!

This week I'm talking about eating healthy-ish while traveling and answering some listener questions:
- looking at the menu before going to restaurants
- traveling with a food scale, and
- eating gluten-free on vacation.
I'm also sharing why I choose to workout-out when I travel but how it's evolved over the years. 
Other topics include: gateway comedians, sticker residue, customer service, TV shows I'm loving, and setting boundaries in relationships and with family.

After a 3 week podcast break, I'm baaaack! I'm sharing our travel itinerary, what we loved, where I'd go back to, and where I don't need to see again(at least not until I see more of the world first). I'm also answering some questions from instagram about:
- digestion on the trip
- who planned the trip
- body goals and travel
- favourite and least favourite places we went, and more!

Today's episode is inspired by my upcoming travels to Spain and Portugal. I'm sharing my tips on how to eat intuitively/eat normally/and eat balanced when you're traveling.  Travel can bring up a lot of big feelings when you've spent years dieting, fearing, and restricting food/calories. You're out of your element, your safe foods aren't easily available, and can't plan the way you normally would.
It can feel like A LOT.
For me, travel has been incredibly healing from my past disordered eating behaviours and eating disorders.
If you're feeling nervous to travel because of your relationship with food, I would encourage you to think about the potential benefits of challenging your food fears and learning to be flexible and spontaneous.   With that said, I understand that it certainly doesn't come without its fair share of food anxiety and fears. I hope you enjoy the episode!

In today's episode I'm talking about my outdoor hot/cold therapy experience, my first time micro-dosing 🍄, and some of the things you can  *initially* expect, and then eventually expect when you stop restricting food, stop yo-yo dieting, and stop under-eating.

Today is a Chex Mix of random topics: I talk about the show, Selling the OC, not putting other people's comfort over your own, if I only had 20 mins and minimal equipment, what would I do for a workout? I wrap up the episode with sharing my thoughts on a recent article published by the Washington Post, 'Strong over Skinny,  Women powerlifters ditch stigma around bulking up.'

Have you ever thought about doing a figure/bikini/physique/bodybuilding show? In my early 20's, this was something I thought about doing. I never did, thank god. But I was sucked into that world at a young age through Oxygen magazine, online forums, and hiring "nutrition coaches" that charged me for cookie cutter meal plans that their clients followed who were prepping for shows. If I've never done one, why am I talking about it? Without first hand experience, I still think I know enough to speak to this topic, especially the physical/mental side effects from these shows. I was asked by someone who follows me on IG if I'd ever done one and what my thoughts are on this niche "sport." Enjoy!
I'm also talking about my very early morning wake up, my friend's wedding, and being a negative Z list celebrity.

Something is better than nothing. Do you only feel good about your workout if everything is "perfectly" aligned?  Perfectly rested-check. Pre workout-check. All your equipment is available- check. You have endless amounts of free time to finish your workout-check. Post workout fuel-check. Sure, it’s great if everything aligns, but what happens when it doesn’t? How do you adapt? Do you decide to throw in the towel, do you still do something, but still feel guilty that it wasn’t "good enough?" Today I’m sharing my thoughts on WHY being flexible will allow you to stay consistent and see those physique and performance results!

 When you start healing up your relationship with food and food beliefs, a couple things might happen: Your social life, travel, and day to day life will start to open up.
You might only stop and notice the major shifts during this process...you might also, forget to stop and reflect on the "little things" that eventually become BIG things. Today, I'm sharing a number of "little amazing things" that occurred to me over last weekend.
