    i don't care if skinny is trendy again...

    Is wellness actually becoming healthier... or are we just repackaging the pressure to be skinny?In today's episode, we're talking about body image, Ozempic, GLP-1 medications, fitness trends, Strong Girl Summer, strength training, muscle building, social media algorithms, and why women's bodies seem to become trends every few years.I share my own fitness journey, why lifting weights has completely changed my confidence, the importance of building muscle for long-term health, and how to create a healthier relationship with your body that isn't based on whatever aesthetic is trending online.We also answer your questions about body recomposition, staying motivated in the gym, tracking macros, confidence, healthy habits, and finding balance while still enjoying your life.If you've ever felt pressured by beauty standards, diet culture, or social media, I hope this episode reminds you to build a body and a life that serves you, not the trend cycle.♡ New episodes every week covering wellness, confidence, mindset, productivity, fitness, nutrition, and navigating your 20s.enjoy & dont forget to tweet/ig story me a screenshot of you listening!Get $1000 off the mindbodygreen health coach certification program I'm doing with promo code STELLACOACHING https://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=1281553&m=96296&u=1030263I edit using Riverside! https://www.riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_5&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=stella-holtinstagram http://instagram.com/stellaraepodcast00:00 Is wellness just the new skinny?01:45 Women's bodies have always been trends04:20 Ozempic, GLP-1s & the return of "skinny"06:35 Why building muscle matters more than ever08:05 The dangerous messages women are hearing online10:45 Why strength is empowering12:20 How lifting weights changed my confidence15:10 Clean up your social media algorithm17:05 Pinterest, vision boards & protecting your mindset18:20 Fueling your body instead of fearing food20:05 Fitness for longevity—not trends22:00 Different seasons of being "locked in"24:10 Q&A: Getting stronger but not smaller25:35 Staying motivated when skinny is trending27:15 Healthy discipline vs body obsession28:45 Final thoughts: Build the body you want#StellaRaePodcast

    how i'm balancing discipline and actually living my life this summer

    Summer is the time of year when it's easiest to fall off...your routine, your goals, your gym schedule, all of it. But what if balance didn't mean choosing between being disciplined and actually living your life? In today's episode, I'm talking about how I find that sweet spot, why I quit my nannying job to fully lock in on my own business, my biggest regrets from my early 20s and what I'm doing differently now, and why the fear of looking stupid or cringe is the thing that's actually holding you back.I also share some NYC storytimes.. the Puerto Rican Day Parade, salsa dancing with zero skill, ordering ice cream in Spanish and saying the completely wrong word, and what years of nannying taught me about boundaries, leadership, and why so many parents are doing too much for their kids.If you've ever struggled with perfectionism, an all-or-nothing mindset, social anxiety, or feeling like you should be further along by now, this one's for you.♡ Subscribe for weekly episodes on confidence, self-growth, wellness, fitness, and navigating life in your 20s.My CVS self tan must haves! https://creators.cvs.com/mypage/stellarae/collections/16001 Get 10% off Prozis with code STELLARAE10 prozis.com/1LMJGGet 10 free meals and free breakfast for life from HelloFresh with code HF-0449 https://www.filify.co/SHBn0 Get $1000 off the health coach certification program I'm doing with promo code STELLACOACHING https://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=1281553&m=96296&u=1030263instagram http://instagram.com/stellaraepodcastlisten to and/or support the podcast: https://anchor.fm/stella-raetiktok: http://tiktok.com/@stellaraeherselftwitter: http://twitter.com/stellaraegoodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/10449999-stella-raemy fav books/products/health: https://www.amazon.com/shop/stellaraemy current filming set up:camera: https://amzn.to/4cEQiLOmicrophone: https://amzn.to/3Z2A5gctripod: https://amzn.to/3AEmxgKring light: https://amzn.to/3XxZrShbox lights: https://amzn.to/4e1Q1Ubportable light for phone: https://amzn.to/3XxZspjlisten on spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2DMbeh7EqiqgROIjvW0sI9listen on apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-stella-rae-podcast/id125561818200:00 Summer is here...don't lose yourself this season01:18 I officially quit nannying03:25 How to balance discipline and actually living your life06:35 Why all-or-nothing thinking keeps people stuck08:10 My biggest regrets from my early 20s10:05 Stop being afraid to try harder11:30 Feeling "cringe" is part of becoming confident13:35 Puerto Rican parade & salsa dancing storytime16:05 Why NYC keeps pushing me outside my comfort zone18:20 Ordering in Spanish (and embarrassing myself)20:40 Confidence comes after you feel stupid23:55 Why people become haters25:15 My thoughts after years of nannying27:20 Gentle parenting, boundaries & raising independent kids31:10 Why natural consequences actually work34:45 Parents doing too much for their kids36:30 Final thoughts on enjoying your summer without falling off#StellaRaePodcast
