Ep. 484: Staying Mindful of Body Obsession Extremes
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.

Ep. 483: Take Your Brain Back with Kara Lowentheil
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. 481: Aging Strong: How We Feel Fit + Athletic After 40 with Rachel Cosgrove
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.

Ep. 480: The Internet is Boring Now
Is it just us, or is the internet boring as fuck lately? And yet even though we’re bored to tears, we can’t stop cycling through the same apps over and over again. We’re addicted to it and yet we’re just so bored. Everyone posts the same content over and over, where the only point is to get attention and make people angry, rather than doing anything interesting. It could just be that we’re just pessimists, but it feels like the algorithm has rotted our brains. It might be time to start some social-media detoxes, and while we’re at it, maybe start reading again?
How can you be sick of something you’re addicted to? [1:17]
The never-ending app loops [3:51]
The death of creativity [5:43]
Creation for the sake our outrage and engagement [7:51]

Looking for new ways to scratch the itch [12:31]
Let’s practice going without our phones [14:17]
Internet burn-out [16:20]

Ep. 479: We're Sick of Authenticity
There’s so much chatter about “authenticity” and “just being yourself” online these days that it’s kinda starting to lose meaning. Of course you should be yourself online, but often people mistake being “authentic” with being vulnerable. Some people like to share everything about themselves with their followers, some people don’t! We’ve also seen a lot of people conflate being authentic with just being an asshole. At the end of the day, it’s important to stay true to who YOU are in every moment, and what YOU want to share, rather than what some rando on the internet tells you is “real” authenticity.
What the hell does “authenticity” even mean? [0:55]
Authenticity and vulnerability are not the same [2:15]
Dramatics get more attention [4:47]
“Just be yourself” is harder to do than you think [9:39]
Ownership is sexy [12:04]
Creating teaches you about yourself [16:05]
Finding peace in who you are [18:32]
You need people to feel safe with you [21:42]
