Welcome to the WANTcast: The Women Against Talk Podcast -lessons in moving forward fearlessly, and spreading the (good) word. In each episode, writer, speaker, coach and WANT founder Katie Horwitch unpacks tips, tools, motivation and inspiration to help you shift your self-talk: the internal narrative you have on loop 24/7 that tells you who you are and who you should be. You can't change the world until you change YOUR world, first - and shifting your self-talk is where it all begins. Dive into topics such as confidence, fear, trust, body image, self-doubt, self-worth, relationships, career, friendships, social issues, and more. Walk away from each episode with hyper-actionable steps to shift your self-talk from reactive to proactive, as well as inspiration to keep going when the going gets tough. The goal isn't to change who you are - it's to BECOME who you know you're meant to be.

    173: What is PLEASURE: Building An Embodied Self-Care Practice That Actually Works with Anne Hodder-Shipp and Sarah Tomchesson of S3X Plus

    No, this isn't another stereotypical "self-care" conversation — we don't need any more of those. This is about PLEASURE: what it (actually) is, isn't, and why it's so freaking hard for so many of us to access it. 
    In this conversation with Anne Hodder-Shipp and Sarah Tomchesson, S3X PLUS cofounders + facilitators of "Pleasure Attitudes: Building An Embodied Self-Care Practice That Really Works," we'll dive into:
    Pleasure as a euphamism vs. pleasure beyond sexuality, and why these two can be so tough to separate for many of us A take on burnout you probably haven't heard before, and how pleasure fits into the mix "Pleasure role models" Hobbies and making friends as an adult and SO MUCH MORE

    169: Motivation, Flexibility, and RETHINKING Your Relationship With FITNESS with Amanda Katz

    169: Motivation, Flexibility, and RETHINKING Your Relationship With FITNESS with Amanda Katz

    The best fitness advice isn't necessarily what you think it is. In a sea of tips, tricks, and programs telling you what to do, how do you figure out what's right for you, and maybe more tricky — how do you build a sustainably healthy relationship with exercise? Especially if you're someone who has a history with eating disorders or body image issues?
    Today's guest, NYC fitness professional Amanda Katz, is here to talk about:
    Why motivation and even discipline are smaller pieces of the puzzle than we realize, and what to focus on instead to create lasting habits Specific examples of what flexibility in an exercise routine can look like Having a healthy relationship with fitness after struggling with eating disorders, disordered patters, or body image  How to approach fitness and training goals no matter who you are How to help a loved one when you're worried they're going down a harmful path of disordered behaviors Combatting NEW YEAR NEW YOU toxic fitness culture messaging in January (and beyond) and more! ABOUT AMANDA:
    Amanda Katz is a full-time fitness professional. She's a certified personal trainer, RRCA certified run coach and serves as a group fitness instructor specializing in indoor cycling, treadmill running and total body conditioning formats at Equinox in New York City.

Practical and Brilliant

Katie provides simple tools that support women in all stages of their lives, applicable to relationships, careers, dreams and goals. Practical steps are easier to implement when so many of us are busy and distracted, planning to “do better” when we get some free time. Thank you, Katie, for being a strong voice for women.

Engaging, informative, and a FUN listen!

Katie is absolutely gifted at interviewing and storytelling. Her energy is infectious, and I always leave episodes feeling invigorated about my life and my potential. Exactly the pick-me-up we all could use from a podcast BFF. Can’t recommend enough!

VeronicaGrant ,

So refreshing!

Loved the most recent episode (love is a verb) where the guests talked about how you can learn to love yourself and someone else at the same time. It was such an insightful and refreshing take to something we hear all the time!
