We're back -- with the final episode of our podcast! And, as you might expect, in this ep we're talking about life in quarantine and how we are coping (because is it even possible to have a conversation right now that doesn't include that?). How have you guys been holding up? Got any tips that might help others?

They say if you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. Well, the FBGs can’t think of anyone busier than interior designer and lifestyle expert Lisa Canning (she’s a friend of the Property Brothers--woot!) who also happens to be the other of eight kids. (Actually it was seven at the time of the interview. Like we said, she likes to be busy!)

If you have ever been curious about the best time to have breakfast, the latest you should eat dinner and/or the effect food can have on your psyche--this show will be a revelation.

The FBGs are thrilled to bring you this interview with one of the top core experts in the fitness world--Erica Ziel. Here we talk about her Core Rehab program, her tips for fascial training (you can change the structure of your fascia!), why working your core means more than aiming for six-pack abs, advice for moms of multiples, her go-to pelvic floor move and more (for your core!) 

In this episode we speak with three of the famous Pollan family cookbook authors (Dana, Lori, and Corky) to talk about their latest collaboration Mostly Plants: 101 Flexitarian Recipes from the Pollan Family. Turns out with some creativity and proper planning there are so many ways to have a plant-based diet that is as good for you as they are delicious.

Did you know that not only is it normal to have your fitness personality change over time but it should change to adapt to your different life events and situations?

Our guest in this truth bomb-filled episode comic and writer Caroline Dooner who studied at the UCB (that’s the Upright Citizens Brigade theater for all of you comedy nerds!) Caroline spent much of her life obsessed with food and dieting and then one day she just said to herself “F*ck it, I am officially DONE with dieting."

Business powerhouses Amy Stanton (former COO of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia) and Catherine Connors (President of Women Rising, a Hollywood studio creating content to empower women and girls) always felt that women and their unique feminine behaviors (emotion, intuition, and empathy) should be utilized and celebrated in the business world rather than seen as weak or less than useful. 

The FBGs feel like ditching our usual athleisure wear and getting a little more of an updated look with the advice from the oh-so-chic Elysha Lenkin.  Elisha is a fashion stylist by trade and nothing makes her happier than to help someone find their personal style and make the most of their wardrobe.

If there is one commodity most of wish we had more of--it would be time. How many times have you thought to yourself “there are simply not enough hours in the day to get through my ‘to-do’ list?’ Thankfully the FBGs can help with our interview today with Catherine Blyth who has literally written the book on how to get more time back. Woot!
