✨Send me an email!: [email protected]43 min - "can you really eat all that?"
Got a question? Send me a text! :)
Today's episode is inspired by a question I got in my DM's after I posted my dinner and a snack on my stories. The DM started with, "can you really eat all that?"
I'm exploring 2 perspective: refraining from commenting on others' eating habits and embracing empathy and understanding for genuine curiosity, and the fact that it's crucial to remember that what we see online is only a snapshot of someone's dietary intake/life, and comparisons can be misleading.✨Health Coaching Application: Work with me!

✨Send me an email!: [email protected]44 min - Mindy Kaling's body transformation & society's reaction to women's weight loss
Got a question? Send me a text! :)
In today's episode, I'm exploring Mindy Kaling's body transformation and society's reaction to women's weight loss.
I delve into Mindy Kaling's recent interview with People Magazine, where she candidly discusses her body transformation and health routine. Unfortunately, her weight loss has sparked controversy and allegations surrounding the use of Ozempic, raising doubts about the authenticity of her journey.
I share my thoughts on society's tendency to scrutinize and question women's weight loss, highlighting the unfair double standards compared to men. Why do we get so "triggered" by others' bodies, especially when it comes to women's bodies???
I also stumbled upon a post on Instagram about child-free flights being offered by WestJet and possibly other airlines. The comments section was a mixed bag of opinions. I'm sharing my own perspectives on the idea of child-free flights.

Got a question? Send me a text! :)
In today's episode, I talk about the comparison between the diet culture of the early 2000s and the beauty and skincare culture of today, and I wonder if in 20 years from now, we'll come to recognize the unrealistic and potentially harmful trends that countless women felt compelled to conform to. I also share my thoughts on the viral clip from Gwyneth Paltrow's interview and I share my personal experience of going wedding dress shopping. Other random topics: Filters on kids, Airbnb check in/out times, and Love is Blind.

About wellness with Alicia
From the publisher's feed
Alicia (health coach, massage therapist, pilates instructor, meat head-hippie) explores a wide range of topics related to women's health, intuitive eating, exercise, life after sport, CrossFit,…
relationships, mindset, and a whole lot of random, yet seemingly important topics that distracts Alicia in her day to day life. Wellness with Alicia covers these topics in a thoughtful, exploratory, and sometimes comedic format. ie. owning and running a business, finding peace with food and exercise, her current favourite things, and why she can't start her day without a good cup of coffee. Whether it's deep diving into: Body Goals, Fitness Culture, Fat Loss, Health, Food Freedom, Pop Culture, the Dogma of Diet Culture and the Anti-Diet Movement, her love-hate relationship for social media, why she's not sure about having kids and moving to the suburbs, or talking about the ups and downs of starting and running a business as a solopreneur. Alicia aims to talk about heavy topics, light topics, share her own lived experiences, while acknowledging that as someone in her mid 30's, she has a lot to share (so many thoughts, so little time) and a lot to learn! Beyond these topics, Alicia is also a Registered Massage Therapist, Pilates instructor, and has her own online Health Coaching business (Wellness with Alicia) helping women build their physiques without extremes. You can expect Alicia to share her honest struggles as a mid-30-something living in Vancouver, and topics that are taking up way too much brain space. Alicia hopes to bring something a little different to the health and fitness spaces. By speaking about these topics in a unique, conversational, and sometimes humorous way, she hopes to offer up value, provide some education, and perhaps a different point of view.
