    Episode #22: Q&A: Morning routine practices, Nutrition, Values systems and more | A Solo Episode

    PODCAST BLOG PHOTO (14).png

    EPISODE SNEAK PEEK

    "I was always trying to be this perfect, in the box, version of myself. And I wasn't exploring and breaking beyond those barriers, and allowing myself to dig deep as I have in the past few years."

    Today's episode is super special to me for a few reasons.

    For one, I have one of the most important people in my life on the podcast. I had the joy of getting to travel back to Canada for my 10 year high school reunion in June (does anyone else feel like time flies by SO quickly?) and three of my best girlfriends from all areas of the world and I spent the weekend at my lake cottage to start the bon voyage to the boobs celebrations.

    It was such a magical weekend filled with love, laughter, goofy shiz and I had the honor of having my oldest friend, Caroline, flip the script and interview ME for this edition of our Solo episode series.

    Caroline and I have known each other for over 15 years and while we have taken super different paths in life, she is hands down the person who knows me better than anyone -- so it felt only natural to have her on the podcast!

    It's also super special because I chat about a lot of topics that I've never shared about on the podcast before, specifically my journey through high school and where I'm currently at with my nutrition and mindset.

    Here are a few things we cover in today's episode:

    • Morning routines
    • Some of my must reads and how I choose my personal development books
    • How to ride the waves of life
    • My top 3 personal values at the moment
    • My personal mindset around nutrition and what I think of the trendy diets right now
    • How I healed my eczema
    • The high school me and how it impacted who I am today
    • Breaking free of the "box" and the bucket list life  
    • My dream guest to have on the pod

      " There is so much power in sharing the mess along the way too because hello - we are messy humans. We are not this picture perfect wrapped in a present version of ourselves. We are constantly going through it and if we don't believe that there is strength in that, then how can other people feel that it's ok to not have their shit together too?"

      When you hear the word strength, what images come up for you?

      Here are a few things I touch on in todays episode:

      • My plans for the long weekend
      • Our definitions of strength as a society
      • Physical strength and why it's so important to me

      "A lot of the times we have stories going on in our heads about sex or pleasure in our heads that we don't even know are there. And they're from the media or our familIes or 'Mom told me that if you do x y and z you're a slut' so I can't do those things, and you have no idea that that's playing in the background the whole time and that's why you're not orgasm-ing in bed."

      What would it look like to revolutionize how we share, teach, and talk about sex, relationships, and mental health? That’s exactly what Rachel + Kyle Wright have set out to do. Wright Wellness Center is bridging the gap between a self-help book and a therapist’s couch — bringing psycho-education to life and equipping people with the tools they need (and that our society doesn't teach us!) to have fulfilling and healthy relationships and lives. 

      Here are a few things we discussed in today’s episode:

      • The story of how Rachel & Kyle met
      • The effect building a business together has had on their marriage
      • Where my love of post it notes started
      • How to move out of the "roommate trap" in your relationship, and why you're in it in the first place
      • Communication tools to open the door to a happy and healthy relationship
      • How to actually understand the emotions you and your partner are experiencing
      • How to get back to being intimate when you've lost the spark in your relationship
      • Love languages as a tool for understanding how you show love and receive love
      • Why putting yourself first is CRUCIAL for your relationship

      EPISODE SNEAK PEEK

      " It all started with a cleanse for me...it propelled me into this whole dieting world. I went raw vegan for a while and this is what I consider my anorexic phase. I was eating nothing but raw vegetables and cold soups. I was so malnourished and I held onto that for over a year."

      Rini Frey is a fitness instructor, TRX trainer and Eating Disorder Recovery online coach, in addition to being a wife and a momma to her Boston Terrier Bruce. She believe that all bodies are beautiful and deserve to be labeled as fit. Being fit and healthy is a feeling more so than a look and she is beyond excited to be part of the body positive movement.

      Her entire adult life was plagued by various eating disorders and now that she is recovered, she's made it her mission to help women embrace their bodies as they are. To focus on what their bodies are capable of, instead of what they look like. 

      Here are a few things we discussed in today’s episode:

      • Her journey battling anorexia and bulimia
      • How she started her recovery process and the specific habits she had to break
      • Why she was afraid of eating carrots
      • Her favorite small daily actions that help her feel at home in her body
      • What to say to/do with your inner mean girl
      • Why overexercise can shut down your natural hormonal patterns
      • Her thoughts on the body positivity movement
      • Why I went gluten free
      • Intuitive eating -- how does it work? Is it right for you?

      Episode #6: Facing Fear Head On | Solo Episode

      EPISODE SNEAK PEEK

      "Some days you feel on top of the world and some days you feel like a hot a** mess. And sometimes you go through something in your life that completely knocks you off your feet -- in amazing ways and in terrifying ways -- and I'm facing the latter right now." 

      This is the last thing I thought I'd be sharing with you on the podcast today.

      On February 6th, 2018, two days after my 27th birthday, I got a call that changed everything. That shook me to my core and has left me processing and spinning and navigating this new found identity.

      I almost didn't share this. 

      But it's my mission to be transparent AF and share the mess and goddamn if this is not the messiest thing in my own life right now.

      And I hope it brings some light to yours. That you feel just a little less alone. And that if you're going through something like this or know someone in your life that is, that this gives you the strength to know that whatever you are facing, you are STRONG enough to navigate it.

      Feel the feels, take action and show up for your goddamn life.

      Here are a few things I touch on in todays episode:

      • Why I'm in the midst of another "quarter life crisis"
      • The power of your gut
      • Why I chose the word UNAPOLOGETIC for 2018
      • The fear I'm facing every single freaking day
      • The power of a shower sob fest
      • Choosing to be a warrior, not a worrier
