    Summer reading recs ’24 – our all-time favorites {with Kara!}

    This summer reading recommendations episode is a little bit different than what we’ve done previously – this is an episode filled with great recommendations, but mostly not from what we’ve been reading this year. We wanted to spotlight more amazing books that aren’t talked about as much, books that live in our heads rent free even years later, and some overhyped books we unfortunately didn’t like. CHECK OUT THE FULL LIST OF RECOMMENDATIONS HERE.

    The problem with food as a reward

    The problem with food as a reward

    In this episode we discuss why we view “food as a reward” with a side of skepticism and conflicting feelings. From childhood treats to adult indulgences like alcohol and retail therapy, we’re exploring why we feel the need to earn every bite. Why do we think of “food as a reward” as a bad thing? Why do we think certain foods need to be earned and others don’t? Join us as we break free from the cycle of “earning” and explore alternative ways to treat ourselves without guilt or shaming. Check out the reflection questions that go along with this episode HERE.
