    #42 - Travelling in Europe with 3 Kids - What Worked & What We'd Do Differently

    Planning a big trip with young kids can feel overwhelming—but it can also become one of your family's most memorable adventures. In this solo episode, I share everything we learned after spending four weeks traveling through England and the South of France with our three boys (ages 2, 5, and 7). From flights and packing to picky eating, naps, and keeping everyone happy while exploring, I'm sharing the practical tips that made our trip so much easier. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or an international vacation, I hope these ideas help you feel a little more confident—and remind you that you don't have to do everything perfectly to create incredible family memories. In this episode, we cover: Why traveling with kids is worth it—even when it feels overwhelming Our favorite travel "hack" that helped our kids walk (and scoot!) much farther The biggest packing mistake we'd avoid next time Simple ways to prepare your kids before a trip How we handled naps, restaurants, and sleeping arrangements Budget-friendly meal ideas that worked for our family The travel gear we were most grateful to pack What we brought on the plane (and what we left at home) Our honest thoughts on screen time while flying Lessons we'd absolutely use on our next family adventure If you have an upcoming trip with little ones, I hope this episode helps you feel more prepared—and a little less stressed. Have questions about family travel? I'd love to hear from you!

    #40 - The Real Cost of All-Or-Nothing Thinking

    Ever notice how one small slip-up can suddenly turn into a whole weekend of "I'll start again Monday"? In this episode we're talking about why our brains are drawn to all-or-nothing thinking, why perfection feels so rewarding, and how this approach to behaviour change often makes consistency harder—not easier. It's time to start counting imperfect progress as real progress, and this conversation will help you do just that!

    #36 - Pain, Hormones & Perimenopause with Dr. Jess Hobson

    This week on the 80% Club, Liz and Ally are joined by Dr. Jess Hobson, ND for an eye-opening conversation about pain, hormones, perimenopause, and why so many women are told their symptoms are "just part of getting older."  Jess shares how hormonal shifts impact tissue repair, stiffness, inflammation, exercise recovery, mood, and overall resilience in women's bodies — especially during the perimenopause years. Together, they unpack why so many moms feel "off" in their late 30s and 40s, how under-fueling and over-stressing the body can worsen symptoms, and why women deserve support long before burnout and pain become their norm. In this episode, we chat about: • Why pain and stiffness often increase during perimenopause • The connection between hormones, exercise recovery, and tissue healing • Training around your cycle and learning to work with your body instead of against it • Why protein, carbs, and proper fueling matter so much for women's health • The symptoms of perimenopause women are commonly dismissed for • Hormone therapy, misconceptions, and when it may be worth exploring support • Simple, sustainable ways moms can improve energy, strength, and quality of life This episode is full of practical, evidence-based education and validating reminders that moms don't have to simply "push through" feeling exhausted, achy, overwhelmed, or unlike themselves. ✨ Connect with Dr. Jess Hobson: www.hobsonhealth.org @dr.jesshobson   Resources From the Episode:  The New Perimenopause - Marie Claire Haver (Book) The Menopause Society   Work with Ally Work with Liz:
