    Every Body is a Bikini Body

    Every Body is a Bikini Body

    Summer's approaching and there's nothing more anxiety-inducing, for some of us, than the thought of wearing a swimsuit in public. And that's because we've been conditioned to believe the BS that only some bodies are bikini bodies. 

    Today, we take a deep dive into all of the misguided social norms that keep us from feeling confident at the pool. That keep us feeling like our bodies need to be fixed, especially if we want wear a swimsuit.

    I talk about my own body insecurities in hopes that it will inspire you to face yours. Because regardless of what "flaw" we think we have, our bodies aren't the problem and they don't need to be fixed. It's our perspective that needs to change.

    The Truth About Adult Friendship

    The Truth About Adult Friendship

    Is it just me, or is making friends as an adult hard?

    As we get ready to move to a new city, I've had to face the fact that I'm going to need to put myself out there and make new friends and I'm not feeling 100% about it.

    It's so much harder to make friends as an adult than it was as a kid. We have less time. We're more self aware and probably more self conscious. We've been conditioned to believe that making friends "just happens", when it actually takes intentionality and effort. Also, many of us experience something called the "liking gap" which means we tend to underestimate how much people like us.

    So on today's episode, we cut through the BS and have a vulnerable conversation about friendship.

    So many of us are on a journey to untangle misguided and harmful messages about race. If you're a parent, you're likely raising yourself and your kids to be anti-racist at the same time. And that can feel overwhelming! Where do I start? What if I say something wrong?

    Lucky for us, Jasmine Bradshaw is here to help us on that journey. Jasmine is an anti-racist educator, educational consultant, podcaster and founder of First Name Basis, a business that specializes in giving adults the tools they need to teach kids to be anti-bias, anti-racist and inclusive. Jasmine uses her first-hand experience as a former teacher, as a mom of two young children, and as a Black bi-racial woman to inform her work. She collaborates with schools across the country to implement anti-racist curriculum and to train teachers to foster an anti-bias classroom environment. She is also the creator of multiple anti-racist educational resources, including her Ally Elementary and Ally Elementary Jr. curriculum for students and the First Name Basis Podcast.
