    24. New Year, New Yentas

    Coach Dylan and Coach Sam are finally back after a wild holiday season to talk all things New Years, goals, and self reflection... along with a *surprise* new segment! After all, we got your feedback loud and clear - you just like hearing us chat like a couple of yentas.  Once they get through the holiday edition of  ✨ all the roses & all the thorns ✨  the coaches jump straight into the big reflection deep dive. We chatted on: why we don't love the "new year, new me" vibe how basing your markers of success on external value / achievement / productivity / capitalism? ruins us all the immeasurable value of personal growth why "grinding" and hustle culture can be so harmful the importance of relationships, family & community why figuring out our relationships to our goals/values/wants/desires is integral for growth when your partner serves as a mirror Sam, butterflies, and the beauty of metamorphosis why your relationship with your Self is integral to your fulfillment Dylan's ignorance is not his bliss We hope this year, we can all "look through the lens of 'how did you grow'' not 'what did you make'" As always, thank you for tuning in - we love & appreciate you!

    23. The Impact of Diet Culture (part two)

    The kids are back with their second contentious episode of the podcast! This week, Coach Dylan and Coach Sam dig into part two of the diet culture deep dive. Once they get through another edition of  ✨ all the roses & all the thorns ✨  the coaches narrow in on the impact of growing up and residing within a culture that prizes thinness as a core value. ***TW: eating disorders/disordered eating*** From there, they get into: the impact of role modelling diet culture to children via parents the difference between direct/overt and subtle/covert messaging why children are becoming more obsessed with weight & size at an earlier age the role of social media in perpetuating diet culture how the comparison to perfectly curated images of perfectly curated bodies harms self-esteem the empty pursuit of the drive for thinness why video conferencing/facetime/zoom/selfies have contributed to being more image focused the rise of eating disorders during the pandemic the increase of eating disorders in even younger populations the drive towards plastic surgery & the increase in its prevalence among adults and youth why surgery perhaps could help self esteem, but not self image the harmful nature of body trends the impact of weight stigma fatphobia's sneaky way of internalizing within & the harm it causes why obesity doesn't fall within the realm of "personal responsibility" the questions you should ask yourself if you, too, feel that diet culture has embedded into your psyche Ooof. Another heavy one, and a long one - but also, a great one. As always, thank you for tuning in - we love & appreciate you!
