    Movement and Busy Minds - approaching movement with a different mindset with Grace Carter and Katie O’Malley

    This episode celebrates all the various and diverse approaches to fitness that women have, depending on their lifestyle and personality. Liv is joined by singer songwriter Grace Carter to talk about how they approach movement when their lives are feeling chaotic and busy.  Grace speaks about her fast rise to fame and how this impacted her mental health, as well as lessons learned about movement and its impact on her wellbeing during this time. They speak about times when their mental health has suffered and how movement helped them recover from this, and what they now incorporate into their routine to make sure they are looking after themselves when life gets busy.  They are joined by Elle Editor Katie O’Malley who talks about finding your way in the movement space when you are a perfectionist and find comfort in strict routine. We learn what we should incorporate into our routine to make sure we are all approaching movement in a way that works for us, as well as looking to the future of the movement industry and our hopes for the next generation.  If you want to get in touch with the show, email us podcasts@elleuk.com Follow Liv Little on Instagram @livslittle Follow  Grace Carter on Instagram @gracecarter Follow Katie O’Malley on Instagram @omalley_katie  In association with @nikewellcollective Hosted on Acast.

    The power of nutrition, finding motivation, and self-kindness: Ixta Belfrage and Miriam Krug

    In this episode, Liv speaks to friend, chef, and author Ixta Belfrage about her love of food and cooking, her time in the Ottolenghi test kitchen, and her celebration of bold recipes in her new cookbook. Ixta speaks about growing up in a very healthy household in Italy and having a nutritionist mum and the influence this had on her relationship with food and nutrition.  They are joined by Nike Well Collective Trainer Miriam Krug, whose specialised approach to nutrition involves reframing our goals to move beyond the aesthetic. She describes how she is re-learning how to view her body, that healthy looks different for everyone, and how a career-altering injury led her to a deeper understanding of the importance of rest and a rounded approach to fitness and nutrition.  They also discuss the importance of motivation when you aren’t feeling your best, and how the key is being kind to yourself and finding different approaches to movement and nutrition - whether that's a 10-minute walk outside or a few stretches while you are watching tv.  If you want to get in touch with the show, email us podcasts@elleuk.com Follow Liv Little on Instagram @livslittle Follow Ixta Belfrage on Instagram @ixta.belfrage Follow Miriam Krug on instagram @miri.krug In association with @nikewellcollective Hosted on Acast.
