    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.

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.

    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. 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!   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.

As long as you’re doing it safely, it will totally change your health for the better. Testosterone is a component of HRT that helps us with bone density and maintaining muscle mass.

    152. Turning Your Pain Into Purpose While Still Honoring Your Needs with Erin Santos-Primis

    In this heartfelt episode, we’re joined by Erin Santos-Primis, founder of the Isabella Santos Foundation, to share her moving journey following her daughter Isabella's stage 4 neuroblastoma diagnosis at just two and a half years old. Erin discusses the challenges of navigating the healthcare system, the emotional toll of pediatric cancer, and the importance of community support and early diagnosis. She also opens up about her personal transformation, balancing life as a single mother, and using her voice to drive systemic change and advocate for personalized care.    Liz is honored to be an emcee with Maggie Gavigan at this year’s ISF luncheon on Tuesday, October 29th at Carmel Country Club 9:00-11:30 am. Please join us at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, hosted by the Isabella Santos Foundation to learn more about and support rare pediatric cancer.  Learn more and register for one of the three event dates at https://isabellasantosfoundation.org/brunchclub/.    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!   Some key takeaways from this episode include: Advocate for yourself and your kids. You never have to accept the first diagnosis, the first treatment plan, or the first option for anything. Get second, third, or fourth opinions and stand firm if your gut is telling you the option presented isn’t good enough. Turning your pain into purpose is a beautiful thing, but it doesn’t have to become your entire identity. You are not just a mom, a partner, etc., you’re are your own individual person with needs and wants. Make sure you protect your individuality. There are so many great organizations providing things like gas cards to families navigating cancer treatments, but the Isabella Santos Foundation focuses on funding research and clinical trials to make it so fewer families need those resources to begin with.

    151. Dealing with Divorce | Feelings of Disappointment and Failure, Telling Your Kids, and What We Wish We Knew

    Going through a divorce is extremely challenging and can bring up so many complex feelings like disappointment, anxiety, and freedom. In this episode, we’re reflecting on our own experiences going through divorce, the feelings we experienced, how we coped with that season, talking to our kids about divorce, and what was waiting for us on the other side of it all.   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: Shop Argent   Some key takeaways from this episode include: Getting divorced does not mean your marriage was a failure. You two have probably gone through many struggles and triumphs together, and those still count even if you ultimately get divorced. People have strong opinions about divorce, but the best version of you should feel happy, fulfilled, and supported. Only you can decide if your marriage is not supporting the best version of you and your family, and no one else’s opinion should matter on that. One of the surprising things that emerged from Liz’s divorce was Hilliard Studio Method. Taking the time to exercise made her feel so much better, so definitely turn to movement to build your physical and emotional strength during a tough season.   Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation.

    150. Making a Difficult Decision? There’s Joy, Freedom, and Courage on the Other Side

    Liz was recently interviewed on a talk show, and a phrase that kept coming up was “finding joy.” When we’re in a difficult situation and making hard decisions, we can get so caught up in the stress and anxiety of it all that we forget to find joy in our lives. In this episode, we’re sharing how we find joy and freedom in difficult times, plus a catch-up on some of our recent travels, celebrity sightings, and more!   We recorded this episode prior to the devastation of Hurricane Helene in the Southeast, especially to our neighbors in WNC. Hilliard Studio Method has been collecting supplies for Operation Airdrop, and we highly encourage you to donate if you can!   MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

Going through divorce or other major life change is always challenging. We’ve learned to aim for freedom, not from others, but within ourselves to be the best version we give to the world.  Before you immediately judge someone, take a beat and consider where they might be coming from, and where your feelings are coming from. What is triggering your fear? Is the other group actually hurting anyone? Be brave (but polite and respectful, of course!) and if you see a celebrity who you really admire, let them know how they impacted you. It’s easy to get intimidated and starstruck in those moments, but remember they’re a human just like anybody else.    Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation.

    149. Taking the Shame Out of Sex | Having The Talk with Your Kids, Prioritizing Pleasure, and More

    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.   Leave us a voice memo at https://Speakpipe.com/BePowerful! Send us a question to answer on the show, something that resonated with you from an episode, whatever you’d like! We can’t wait to hear from you!   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.
