    Why Belonging Matters

    What is the secret ingredient to developing fitness habits that last? Is it the outfit? Is it the expensive gym membership? Is it doing the thing that one fitness influencer told you to do? It is in fact none of those things. In this episode we explore the profound importance of belonging, specifically in the world of health and fitness. Moo and I discuss how a sense of belonging impacts motivation, confidence, and overall well-being, especially in midlife. As always, thanks for listening!

    A Dream Realized: An Interview with NYT Bestselling Author Tiffany Crum

    Listeners, this week you are in for a real treat. Moo sits down with New York Times Best Selling author, Tiffany Crum. Over spring break Moo read Tiffany's debut novel This Story Might Save Your Life. In addition to loving the book, Moo also loved the acknowledgements. Tiffany explains that she had the dream of writing a novel 18 years ago when her son was born. Too often we see the success of the bestseller, but we don’t ask about what it looked like to pursue a dream for 18 years. In this interview, Moo and Tiffany talk about what it takes to set a goal and stay with it for nearly two decades. Tiffany talks about the dream, the real life realities, the rejection (oh the rejection) and what it feels like to hold her book in her hands. You don’t want to miss this.

    Letting Pilates Speak for Itself

    Greetings listeners. For a long time, Moo and I have wondered about Pilates. But recently, something happened. We kept seeing articles and posts on social media that seemed to spark a Pilates controversy. Articles asked questions like who is it for really? Does it exclude a certain body type? But what was more interesting than these articles themselves, as we both quickly noticed, were the comments. No matter what the article said, people in the comments were overwhelmingly positive about their Pilates experience. Moo, the Pilates outsider that she is, wanted to know more. What is happening in these studios that so many people are not only enjoying, but willing to continuously defend on social media? On this episode, Moo interviews Rikki Heiken, owner of Sweat Studio in Miami, Florida. Rikki has been in the fitness industry for over 20 years. In addition to reformer classes  and a Pilates teacher training program, Sweat Studio also offers  its own strategically designed fitness method. Rikki answers Moo’s curious questions about Pilates, Pilates-inspired fitness and why strong is for everyone.

    How to Think Less

    Do you constantly feel like your brain is a cluttered mess of thoughts? Do you ever walk into a room to get something while also looking at Team Snap to see what the latest message is about only to realize you totally forgot what you’re looking for? Do you find yourself scrolling through social media just so you can quiet the nagging reminders and the simultaneous realization that you’ll never get everything done? If so, this episode is for you. Moo recently had four days to herself in her own house and she loved how the countertop of her brain finally got cleared off. But how can we do that more regularly? Moo and share stories of how we have succeeded and failed at getting our brains to do less. Thanks for listening!

    When Goals Take Decades

    In this episode Moo and I discuss goal-setting in your 40s. Moo recently read a book and in the acknowledgements the author discussed how the dream of writing a novel took 18 years. 18 years?! We are all old enough to know that real goals take time, like decades! So yes, live your best life, but also, we are wise enough to realize the logistics of chasing our dreams are actually really complicated. So what do we do with that? Moo and I explore the nuanced realities of setting and pursuing long-term goals in your 40s and it involves the importance of process, personal values, and private victories over social media validation.

    When Stress Sabotages Your Success

    Hey hey, fit listeners. Welcome back to another week of the pod.  In this episode, Moo and I explore the complex relationship between stress and emotional eating. I share a personal story involving Trader Joe’s Ketchup chips while Moo shares scientific insights and practical strategies to manage binge eating and stress responses effectively. Before you go rolling your eyes, just know that sometimes the strategy is to actually eat the chips, but also know that the chips do not control you. Say it with me, the chips do not control us! Happy Monday. Let’s do this!

    Let's Talk Lentils!

    Greetings listeners! I recently discovered a plant-based cookbook with really great pictures that taught me how delicious cooking with vegetables could be. Now, I know a lot of you are thinking, oh good for you Natalie, but I don’t have time to chop vegetables with my busy schedule. Well, this may sound crazy, but this plant-based journey actually made my life easier. How, you ask? Well, listen along as Moo and I discuss lentils and other plant-based ponderings. Are we newly vegan? Suddenly vegetarian? No, we’re just two curious cooks who love good food! Get curious with us!

    Working Out for the Right Reasons

    Listeners, let us engage in a thought experiment. What would happen if we imagined that exercise was not associated with body transformation? Then, why would we exercise? In other words, what happens when we think about the why beyond what we look like. In this episode Moo explores the benefits of getting away from body goals and instead exploring the soulful reasons why we might keep moving. Working out is sometimes not that much fun, I am the first to admit this. So what happens when we go to the gym with reasons that don’t revolve around changing how we look? Moo argues that we might end up keeping the habit longer than we think. Woohoo! Have a great week and thanks for listening!
