    159. Year of the Snake | Justice for Eve and Turning Pain into Purpose

    Happy New Year, y’all! This episode kicks off the Chinese Year of the Snake with a dive into snake lore, exploring why these misunderstood creatures deserve some love—even in the Bible. From there, we share our thoughts on stepping into the first year of Trump’s presidency. While our perspectives may slightly differ, we both agree on one thing: the importance of unity. Join us as we discuss fostering empathy, compassion, and understanding to bridge the divide. Here’s to a happy and healthy new year!   MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

Their misunderstood nature resonates with the feeling many of us experience at times.  As we transition into a new presidency, fostering empathy, compassion, and understanding becomes essential to maintaining unity as a nation. It’s important to remember the shared values and connections that bind us, even amidst political differences with our neighbors. There are actionable steps you can take to get involved in the political process, from joining movements to participating in local elections. By exploring opportunities for activism and engagement, you can make a meaningful impact in alignment with your beliefs.   Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation.

    {Best of 2024} Putting Our Relationship to the Test

    Over the next few weeks, we'll be replaying our top episodes of 2024 while we spend time with our friends and family over the holidays! AKA the episodes you guys streamed the most!  Thank you so much for your support of the podcast in 2024 - we hope you have an amazing holiday surrounded by loved ones, peaceful moments, and memories in the making. Cheers!   We decided to take a relationship quiz to see how much we really know about each other. In this episode, we discuss whether your romantic partner should be your best friend, keeping the spark alive, and the traditional marriage vow that we’re ditching altogether.    MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

Remember to be affectionate with each other often, share your dreams and goals with each other, and prioritize quality time even when life gets stressful. Successful couples know how to argue and handle conflict respectfully and swiftly. It’s okay to take time to process individually before you come together to discuss, but never sweep things under the rug entirely. While the old saying goes “til’ death do us part,” marriage should never feel like a death sentence. Your marriage should be an absolute joy to be a part of, and if it’s no longer serving you and your partner, then that’s an honest discussion you should have.    Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation.

    {Best of 2024} Redistribute Your F*cks | Dr. Liz Moran on Perimenopause, Hormone Replacement Therapy, Raising Teen Girls & More

    Over the next few weeks, we'll be replaying our top episodes of 2024 while we spend time with our friends and family over the holidays! AKA the episodes you guys streamed the most!  Thank you so much for your support of the podcast in 2024 - we hope you have an amazing holiday surrounded by loved ones, peaceful moments, and memories in the making. Cheers!   This Spring at Hilliard Studio Method, we hosted a live Q&A with Dr. Liz Moran on all things hormone health. It was so popular that we knew we had to bring her on the podcast! In this episode, Dr. Moran - an OB/GYN and the owner of Premier Gynecology & Wellness - shares her perspective on how hormones change as we age, the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy for menopause, breast cancer, and so much more.   A native Charlottean, Dr. Moran graduated from Charlotte Country Day School, pursued her undergraduate studies at Duke University, then went on to medical school at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Dr. Moran has been honored annually by Charlotte Magazine as a Top Doctor in Charlotte since 2010.   Resources mentioned: Premier Gynecology & Wellness Listen to Ep. 137: Diving Into Hormones Pinwheel for limiting kids’ tech access  Some key takeaways from this episode include: Perimenopause often takes place in a busy season of life for many women, so they chalk up symptoms like exhaustion to schedules and kids when they actually might be signs of hormonal changes that can be addressed with your doctor.  There is a link between estrogen and heart health. If you decide to utilize a treatment like hormone replacement therapy, know that there can be some risks, but you need to weigh the pros and cons with your doctor based on all the factors. Lab work is used to flag diseases, not to look for wellness. So if your labs come back in the “normal” range, continue getting a metabolic panel annually so you and your doctor can track trends within the ranges.   Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation.

    {Best of 2024} Taking the Shame Out of Sex | Having The Talk with Your Kids, Prioritizing Pleasure, and More

    Over the next few weeks, we'll be replaying our top episodes of 2024 while we spend time with our friends and family over the holidays! AKA the episodes you guys streamed the most!  Thank you so much for your support of the podcast in 2024 - we hope you have an amazing holiday surrounded by loved ones, peaceful moments, and memories in the making. Cheers!   Think back to the first messages you ever heard about sex: were they filled with shame and embarrassment, or did you walk away feeling educated and empowered? If we’re honest, our kids will probably always feel a little embarrassed to hear us talk about sex, but we can create a shame-free conversation around anatomy, consent, protection, and even pleasure so that our kids can make empowered decisions for their bodies. In this episode, we share our earliest messages about sex, how we talk to our kids about sex, and how shame has impacted many aspects of our lives. MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms. With just a fraction of caffeine found in coffee, you get energy, focus and immune support without the crash! Use this link for 15% off your purchase, or $20 off PLUS a 15% discount if you subscribe!   Resources mentioned: What It Was Like to Get an Abortion Before Roe vs. Wade   Some key takeaways from this episode include: Always use the anatomically correct words when you’re talking about bodies. By giving cutesy names to private parts, you unintentionally attach some shame to talking about our bodies. Pleasure and consent are important parts of The Talk that we sometimes skip over. We’re in such a rush to cover the technical details that we forget to communicate that our bodies are meant for us to enjoy, and that no one can force you to share your body with them if you don’t want to (and vice versa). Preaching abstinence is not an effective sex education strategy. Teaching your kids about safe sex practices and encouraging them to understand their bodies does NOT automatically mean they’ll be sexually active sooner. It means they can make informed and safe decisions when it comes to sex.   Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation.

    What a year it’s been; thank you all for joining us! Today we’re taking a look back on 2024 and ranking our highs and lows. It can be easy to first remember the challenges, and that’s certainly how we start out in this episode, ooof! However, as we continued to reflect and discuss all the many things we got to experience, we are truly grateful for what the year brought from art to travel, the power of community and everything in between. We also let you in on some plans we have for the new year, including a book that Liz is writing!  Cheers to you and yours this season. We are going to re-release our top three episodes to round out the year and will be back with fresh, new episodes in 2025.    MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

Think about how you can move forward with hope and work together with others, keeping good intentions at the forefront. When you travel, consider exploring places beyond the big cities. Immersing yourself in local lifestyles can open your eyes to new perspectives and bring unexpected magic into your life. Reflect on how the loss of friends in middle age can remind you of life’s fragility. Use these moments to deepen your connections and strengthen the bonds with those you care about.   Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation.

    157. Holiday Health Hacks | Prioritizing Protein, Workouts to Do While Traveling, Sleeping Well, and More

    No matter how disciplined you’ve been all year, the holidays can throw us off track. Whether it’s from traveling, prepping to host family, and the general sparkly chaos of the season, our routines get disrupted this time of year. In this episode, we’re sharing our biggest holiday health hacks to help you feel your best, look dazzling in your holiday fits, and stay in your zen through this holiday season.   MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

Enjoy a high-protein snack before you head to your holiday events to stabilize your blood sugar and prevent hangovers after you enjoy a cocktail or two. Drop down and do 10 pushups (or as many as you can before you start to sweat) to pump up the arm muscles you’ve been working so hard on all year. It’ll boost blood flow and give you a sculpted look and glow. 20-minute walks are magic. If your family is getting on your nerves, or you just need some alone time amidst the holiday chaos, go for a quick walk outdoors. You can catch up on Be Powerful episodes, listen to calming music, or go totally tech-free and enjoy the view.   Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation.

    156. The Movies That Shaped Us | Our Favorite Films, Movie Eras, Supporting Independent Theaters & More

    If you know us, you know one of our favorite weekend pleasures is going to the movies. We love that movies help us escape, provide catharsis, and often hope. So today, join us as we dive into the transformative power of movies. We reflect on the films that have shaped us over the years and the joy of seeing our kids, grandkids, and each other experience the magic of cinema. Plus, we share our love for Charlotte’s Independent Picture House and discuss why supporting indie theaters is vital for art communities and future creators.   MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

Whether you’re watching the original Romeo and Juliet film (1968), Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet (1996), or the indie rock Romeo + Juliet musical, you get a different experience depending on the storyteller. Movies can act as emotional guides, helping us process life’s challenges through storytelling. It’s why you can have a totally different experience watching the same movie if you watched it in two totally different seasons of life. Check out your local independent theater! Indie theaters have a huge role in supporting art communities and creators, and often show movies that bigger theaters won’t get access to.   Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation.
