One thing the holidays bring about are those damn holiday parties, and what’s even worse than having to go to a work holiday party is choosing an outfit for them—what the hell does “smart casual” even mean?! Then, of course, you have to layer on what your parter is wearing too. Should you coordinate outfits? Will they dress too casually and embarrass you? If they show up looking sloppy, how does that reflect on you? The way we see it, the more direction we can get, the better, just as long as we get to wear what makes us the most comfortable. 
 Who can keep up with all the dress codes? [2:46] Do you care what your partner wears? [5:39] Dressing sexy for your man [8:44] For or against matching? [11:26] Vague dress code requirements [12:49] Wedding color requirements [14:26] Giving direction, without control [17:30] The more details, the better [21:23]

You get to choose your partner, but with them comes their family, and you certainly don’t get to choose your in-laws. So what do you do when there’s tensions between you and those in-laws and your partner doesn’t stick up for you? Family is family, so you can’t force your partner to choose between you and them, but there are ways to feel heard and at the very least, protect your peace.

Ep. 485: The Trouble With In-Laws

We may have worked through our dieting obsessions and pushing our bodies to extremes, but that doesn’t mean everyone else has. Every now and then we see another person, stuck in the same cycle of food and body obsession that we were on in our younger years, and we can’t help but feel sad for them. Everyone has the right to the full life experience they desire, but seeing someone trapped in a mindset that hurt us for so long is difficult to watch. That’s why it’s so important to stay mindful of the ways we think of and talk about ourselves—after years, we’ve made peace with our bodies, and we’d like to keep it that way. 
 Things fall apart after 40 [1:43] The extremes of body image [5:41] Have the full experience, but know the downsides [8:34] The slippery slope [11:44] The benefits of muscle [14:08] Why an obsession with the scale hurts you [17:12] Is it okay to want to like the way you look?

Ep. 484: Staying Mindful of Body Obsession Extremes

When you grow up a woman in this society, there are a number of ways we get socialized—to feel like we have to earn our worth, to second guess every choice we make, to hate our bodies, or that we’re never good enough. But when you realize that you have the power to change your thoughts, a whole new world of possibilities opens up for you. Today we got to chat with Kara Lowentheil of the UnFuck Your Brain podcast about her new book and her mission to help women get out of their own heads, own their experiences, and take up the space they deserve. Getting your mindset “right” is a huge part of living up to your highest potential—your best life—but it doesn’t have to be inaccessible and it doesn’t have to be “woo woo.” We can all take charge of our experiences, no matter how society has taught us we “should” behave.

Ep. 482: Optimize Your Mindset with Miss Excel, Kathleen Norton

We’ve all heard some 20-year-old trainer say that “age is just a number” when it comes to our training, but the truth is that fitness in our 40’s and beyond is different than what we used to do! Our bodies, hormones, and metabolisms are changing and that means we have to change our workout methods if we want to stay healthy and fit as we age. We know just how important it is to put on muscle, so today we’re chatting with Rachel Cosgrove about her new book, Age Strong, and why talking about women’s fitness after 40 matters so much. We want to look and feel good for as long as we can, and it starts with adapting our workouts to what works best at every age. 
 Why women’s fitness after 40 matters [1:44] Real life women with real life success stories [5:28] Putting on muscle as we age [9:38] The fear of injury [10:39] Shifting our relationship with cardio [13:15] Why aren’t more women lifting weights?
