    {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. If you’re ready to get in incredible shape, you can work out with us in-person at our Charlotte studio, join classes from home via Zoom, or sign up for our on-demand streaming service!

    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.

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.

Immersing yourself in local lifestyles can open your eyes to new perspectives and bring unexpected magic into your life.

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. 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: The Independent Picture House Charlotte: https://independentpicturehouse.org/   Some key takeaways from this episode include: Remakes get a bad rap, but it’s really cool to see different stylistic approaches to the same story. 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.

    155. The Truth About Pilates Bodies | Pilates vs. Strength Training, Ozempic, and Taking Exercise Too Far

    If you’ve spent any amount of time on social media, you’ve probably seen fitness influencers hashing it out over whether pilates is better than strength training or vice versa. So which one should you focus on for results? In this episode, we’re sharing our thoughts on which one is better for you, how nutrition plays a role in achieving a “pilates body” and our thoughts on wellness trends like Ozempic and “cozy cardio.”   MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

It’s not about which workout is better for you, it’s about doing both to build your strength and sculpt your physique. There is a lot of misinformation on social media when it comes to fitness. If you’re not getting your workouts from a certified professional, you could risk doing moves unsafely, causing injury. You can stream HSM At Home any time to get a safe and effective workout at home. An easy nutrition shift you can start making today is to start your day with a big serving of protein. It helps with stabilizing your blood sugar, fueling your body for the day, and feeling energized.

    154. Election Survival Guide | Coping with Anxiety and Focusing on What You Can Control

    Happy Halloween, y’all! Is there anything scarier than an election season where so much is at stake and the divisiveness is the worst it’s ever been? Yikes! In this episode, we’re sharing how anxiety has been showing up for us, how we’re taking steps to curb that anxiety, and what we’re going to do after the election… regardless of the outcome.    MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

Use this link for 15% off your purchase, or $20 off PLUS a 15% discount if you subscribe!   Some key takeaways from this episode include: When life feels out of control, go back to the basics. Are you sleeping enough? Are you drinking enough water? Have you spent some screen-free time outside in the sunshine? Go back to these and you’ll feel at least a little bit better. When you’re right in the middle of anxious feelings, and you want to get out of overthinking mode, get up and move. It could be getting a workout in, but even something like folding laundry or tidying up an area in your home will take you out of your head and into your body. Lean on your immediate community. No matter how the election goes, know who your people are and who is in your corner at the end of the day. If the election doesn’t go the way you want it to, you still need to continue loving your neighbors and being there for your friends.   Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation.
