You know that feeling you have when there are 8000 things on your to-do list, your kids are sick and you’ve got a work deadline in 4 hours and your dishwasher just broke?!
Yeah, I’m talking about overwhelm today.
I’m sharing one particular moment from a simple Peloton workout when I was able to catch myself in a crappy negative thought loop, change gears and chill the heck out.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a Peloton…this theme is universal!
I’m also sharing a few strategies that I’ve learned over the years that have really helped me work through some tough moments where I felt completely stuck. I promise they’re simple because overwhelmed people ain't got time for complicated!
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode: * The advice my Mom gave me about overwhelm. I hate it but I also love it.! * The power of timers and just getting started. * The productivity version of a HIIT workout. * My to-do list makeover that massively reduces my overwhelm
Resources we talk about: The Pomodoro Method. Use it for work or personal tasks to just get yourself started…#genius!

Dreaming of romance? Living through heartbreak, wanting the house, the job and then car- and we made it through it all.
Life is pretty good.
Come dream and reminisce with us!

Can we talk about anxiety for a minute? It seems like everyone is feeling highly anxious these days. Or maybe it's just that we finally have some language for the uncomfortable emotions we’re feeling.
Either way, we have a lot of questions about anxiety! I (Kim) sat down with Lauren Spinella, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional for a deep dive on the topic.
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode: * What the heck is anxiety anyway? * How anxiety shows up for different people. * Why overplanning is NOT a solution for our anxiety. * How Anxiety can actually work in your favour. It’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Guest Bio Lauren Spinella is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), serving clients in New Jersey.
Lauren helps you to understand and unpack the questions and challenges you are experiencing, develop effective ways of managing them, and help you discover a more clear, happy path, with less stress and more enjoyment.

Ever have that little voice inside your head that tells you you're not qualified to do the thing? You don't know how to do the thing or that you aren't ready for something you know you've prepared for?
That my friends, is Imposter Syndrome.

We know this has happened to a lot of you, you decided you're going to start a new plan and then something happens to change your ability to show up physically for that workout.. and it sucks!
We've been there! And in today's Bite Sized episode we shared about our own setbacks and how we overcame them.
What if you could let go of all of the exercise “rules”?
What if you could actually learn to listen to what your body needs on any given day and move accordingly?
Today we’re diving into the world of Intuitive Movement, what it is, how it’s changed our relationship with exercise (for the better), and how you can start to tune into your body’s movement needs right now.
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode: * The time Andrea quit her workout and had a bath instead. * Kim reflects on some of the ways that her work in the fitness industry could contribute to some toxic thoughts or behaviours around movement (and what she’s doing differently.) * The Pros and Cons of a structured fitness plan. * Andrea shares how her workouts are changing during her pregnancy (oh yeah…did we tell you that she’s pregnant…it’s true!) * How to listen to your body, let go of the guilt and just move how you want to move and how to trust your body to tell you when it’s time to rest.
Resources we talk about: * Our very 1st Episode called Movement with Intention * Episode 51: Intuitive Eating + Rejecting the Diet Mentality with Suzanne Dietrich * The La Luna Planner (designed by Kim’s sis-in-law Michelle!)

On today's episode we are talking about confidence and self esteem. How does one create more confidence? Where does it come from? What do we need to do to get there?
All of your questions answered on today's show with Andrea so tune in!
Comparison has been said to be the thief of joy. So WHY do we keep doing it?
In this day and age of the perfectly curated Instagram feed, it’s hard to turn off our need to compare ourselves. In fact, it’s normal to want to know where we fit in the world. However, it can quickly turn into toxic behaviour that leaves us feeling like we’re massively flawed…when in fact we’re simply human.
In this bite-sized episode, we’re sharing our own real-life experiences with “Comparison-itis”; how it made us feel, and how you can check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Andrea had a pretty bad anxiety episode in spin class recently and it was really, really scary. If you’ve experienced this kind of thing before then you know it’s paralyzing and definitely very real. Today we’re talking about how she was able to work through it in real time and some of the strategies that we use to overcome a challenging moment.
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode: -the power of self-talk

You know that mean voice inside your head that says “You suck. You never do it right. Why can’t you do things more like so and so down the street?!"?
Yeah, that’s your inner critic and it can make some painful statements and make you feel pretty crappy on the daily.
But what if there was a way to work with your inner critic rather than against it?
I sat down with Sarah Houy, licensed professional counselor to talk about why our inner critic comes out to play and the strategies we can use to transform it from harmful to helpful. Stick with us here….you’ll see how it all comes together.
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode: -The current issues that Sarah is seeing in her therapy practice after the pandemic.
-What the inner critic voice can actually sound like in real life.
-The model of therapy that Sarah uses and teaches (Internal Family Systems or IFS) and how it shapes the way she views her own inner critic.
-How Sarah recommends we nurture and really listen to this inner voice in order to move through the discomfort.
-You’ll hear me (Kim) go through this exercise in real-time with Sarah as well. I get pretty real about some of the things that I’m going through.
-The specific tools and strategies that you can use to work through a difficult moment.
Guest Bio Sarah Houy, Co-Founder & CEO of Sentur
M.A., L.P.C., R.Y.T., B.C.N. Certified EMDR Clinician | Certified IFS Practitioner
A Colorado-native licensed professional counselor, Sarah has been working for over a decade with people who have experienced trauma across the lifespan, opening the doors for them to heal and to create a life that’s exciting to get up for every day.
Having had a challenging journey herself, she’s a strong believer that while many traumas are not our fault, healing is our responsibility.
Sarah loves thinking about how to bring things together to impact the rate at which healing happens and help people keep the momentum they get during therapy sessions.

If you have every struggle with body image- you might be feeling like this pandemic as added a whole new level of complexity to navigating your feelings around that. Your body might not be the same as it was or you might be leaning on old coping strategies that you didn't even realize were still there.
We get it. And we are there too. On today's episode Kim and Andrea are here to bring you some normalcy and some validation around where you are at, and to remind you that you are still worthy and you still have a lot to offer the world- no matter where you are at.
I (Kim) have wanted to share the topic of Intuitive Eating since we started the show.
Intuitive Eating was a huge part of my Eating disorder recovery and I feel compelled to share it with anyone and everyone who will listen. It just makes so much sense and it has allowed me to finally feel free from the grips of food obsession and calorie counting. It needs to be shared.
I knew Suzanne Dietrich would be the perfect person to help me bring this conversation to you since she’s devoted her career to helping people heal from weight stigma in our “thin obsessed world. She is continuously learning about intuitive eating, eating disorder recovery, gut health, and how the social determinants of health intermingle with these areas.
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode: * The significant increase in Eating disorders in the last year due to the pandemic * How support for an Eating disorder may look different right now. * Removing guilt from the Emotional Eating we may be doing more of during the pandemic * What are the signs of an eating disorder or disordered eating? * Kim shares about her own eating disorder. How it started and the tools that she used to recover. * What does an Intuitive Eater look like? * The 10 Principles of Intuitive Eating * What it means to reject the diet mentality * Intuitive eating is not an overnight process and it’s ok if it’s not a linear one too.
Resources we talk about: * The 10 Principles of Intuitive Eating * Intuitive Eating 4th Edition, Evelyne Tribole & Elyse Resch * Intuitive Eating Workbook, Evelyne Tribole & Elyse Resch * National Eating Disorders Information Centre * Anti-Diet, Christy Harrison * Food Psych Podcast - Christy Harrison * Kristen Neff’s work on Self-compassion

While we jump into a new season, everyone and their dog is itching to get back into fitness. As a trainer...I am a big fan!
And since spring is the season of change, perhaps it’s time to consider tweaking a few things in your fitness routine.
Sometimes something that worked for you 5 years ago may not be working for you anymore. Or perhaps you’re getting injured and need to make some changes to protect your bod.
Either way, change can be good. Here are a few ways to shake up your Spring Fitness Routine so YOU can feel stronger and fitter right now.
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode:
-The simple tweaks you can make to your fitness routine to help you increase your strength and decrease injury.
-Why building and maintaining muscle is SOOOOO important (and also awesome.)
-The Muscle group that I (Kim) really really really wants you to remember in your workout routine.
-How to make sure your Home Workout routine is balanced and that you’re not overtraining.
- Why I went to physio for my foot and ended up with breathing exercises and butt exercises. The body is all so connected!
-While I get super excited about talking about HOW to train your body in a balanced way, there is a tremendous amount of value in simply moving your body. It’s ok to stray from the routine and shake it up OR even take time off.
Move in a way that feels good to you! If you’re feeling burnt out, find a way to make it fun again.

Today's episode is such a fun one! We have dug into the archives and pulled from an old live we did together in 2018 to bring you a wicked conversation about some of the most common diet myths and why you shouldn't be buying them!
Let’s talk about money.
Wait...don’t run away!
We promise that today’s guest will help you think of your finances and your relationship with money in a totally different way. It doesn’t have to be scary or awkward and NO...money does NOT have to be a dirty word.
Martha Adams is a certified financial planner (CFP), financial educator, international bestselling author, and speaker. Martha is the author of Cleopatra’s Riches: How to Earn, Grow, and Enjoy Your Money to Enrich Your Life and international keynote and motivational speaker.
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode:
- Why the money conversation isn’t much of a conversation at all.
- Money has become a dirty word. Martha tells us why and also helps us understand how we can change this.
- Martha plays a little word association game with us that is beyond revealing when it comes to the way we view money.
- Why money is a human experience woven throughout our lives. It’s so much more than numbers on a spreadsheet.
- How you can welcome your emotions into the financial conversation.
- The difference between spending your money vs. enjoying your money

We're coming close to a year of living through a global pandemic, and we don't know about you but things are starting to feel heavy again. We feel tired... tired of saying I miss you... and tired of saying, "when things go back to normal".
This is our new normal in this season. And we need to honor that.
So for today Kim and Andrea sit down to talk about creating bliss when times get tough. We share some of the strategies we’ve been using, what we’re planning and how we’re prioritizing celebrating, and daydreaming again.
It doesn't have to be big, but it is important to have something to look forward to and to celebrate the small things.
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode:
- We’re feeling a lot of sadness and grief over the things we’ve missed out on. It’s normal to feel this way and it sucks. Let’s just be real.
- We can still create some really great moments of joy or celebration even though it may look very different.
- It can feel really good to have something on the calendar to look forward to. Make plans even if they’re small
- Dreaming about vacations...it's good for the soul. We go down a bit of a vacation dreaming rabbit hole.

The social media world is an overwhelming one. It's big, it's beautiful but it can also be dangerous to our health in many ways. On today's episode Kim and Andrea discuss from their perspective, back up with some research about the positive as well as the negative consequences of social usage.
If you're feeling overwhelmed with using all the platforms and trying to keep up- you're going to want to hear some of the tips they use to manage their exposure and use it with Intention.
In 2013, I (Kim) experienced my first concussion and unfortunately, it wouldn’t be the last.
In 2018, I experienced another one (well sort of...you’ll have to tune in to see what I’m talking about) and it rocked my world.
After working through several years of post-concussion syndrome, I feel compelled to share my story and the resources that helped me recover. Honestly, it was HARD, and if I can help anyone lighten the load of their recovery...I’m gonna do that.
Molly Parker is one of those incredible resources and sources of inspiration that helped me get through.
I found Molly Parker’s Instagram account and it made me feel so incredibly seen and validated. Molly shares her own incredible story of overcoming a concussion as well as simple tools and resources for anyone who is struggling. Seriously, this woman is a warrior!
Whether you’ve been there, are going through this, or know someone who is, this show will help you understand how to help yourself or your loved one to work through a challenging time.
What we cover:
- Both Kim and Molly share their own concussion stories and experiences. The physical symptoms, all the emotions, you name it, they cover it.
- MRI’s do NOT show concussions.
- The current treatment protocol for Concussions (it is no longer “just go to bed”)
- How recovery can vary from one individual to the next.
- What to say and what NOT to say to someone who is struggling with a concussion.
- The importance of validation with an injury that is invisible. We all just want to be seen.

Show Description:
It’s January and it’s 2021.
The goals you set in 2020 likely got sidelined and you might be feeling a bit nervous about setting a goal for 2021.
But here’s the thing...there is no reason you can’t still make things happen in 2021. Maybe you’ve got a lofty goal, maybe it’s a super small one or maybe you don’t have any goals at all.
It’s all good.
Wherever you’re at this January, our goal is to help you set and achieve your (big or small) goal or to just plain old inspire you to take one tiny step towards feeling the way you want to feel.
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode:
- 2020 in review (what in the world happened?!)
- The #1 reason you may have fallen off track by Feb in the past
- The SMART Goal Formula to help you set and achieve any goal (from fitness, nutrition, personal development, or career...use this formula anywhere in your life)
- Kim’s biggest pet peeve goal
- Kim and Andrea give a super generic and common goal a bit of a makeover
- Please please STOP with the unrealistic goals OK
- A brief discussion on the Full House episode where DJ went on a diet. We had to.
- A few Simpsons references. Again...we had to
- The power of adding a little emotion or feeling to your goal. You’re far more likely to stick with it if you’re clear on how you want to feel.
- The concept of choosing a word as your theme for the year. (Kim and Andrea both have a word that we love)
Resources we talk about:
Episode # 7: Change your Habits, Change your Life: Why Habits are Sexy

5 Ways to Navigate the Holiday Stress with Kim
Show Description:
The holidays...man they can be stressful!
Add in a little global pandemic and what may likely be a virtual celebration for so many of us and you’ve got a recipe for awkward.
Kim gets the awkward like no other human being and has 5 simple tips to help you move through the holiday season feeling pretty awesome...even in 2020!
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode:
- 5 tips to feel your absolute best during the holidays
- Kim talks about a few holiday seasons where she absolutely did NOT feel her best and reveals some of the practices she uses to turn it around.
- It’s not perfect but when you continue to practice these habits, it will come together.
- The importance of finding joy every day...even the smallest things matter.
- Home Alone 2 never gets old. It brought my family a ton of joy on a gloomy day.
- The pressure that you may be feeling at the holidays may have to do with some unrealistic expectations. Who decided the Elf needs to move every night? Or that you even need to have an elf? Seriously...re-think what really matters to you!
- Stay in your lane. If you love to make handmade gifts, do it. If you hate it and it stresses you out, maybe you shop online and support a local biz instead.
- Boundaries. Set some. That is all. But seriously, I’m covering what that actually looks like in the 2020 Holiday season.
- Self-care, even the smallest things is always a good idea.
- The 5th tip is probably the best one yet it’s the hardest for me. It may surprise you but I think it’s worth trying (for you and ME ) this year.

Guys...I’m 40! What up?
In this episode, I’m sitting down with my good pal Steph to dish about what it really feels like to turn 40. Honestly, getting older is strange, especially when you still feel 24...but you’re not.
We poured a glass of cheap rose and hit record on this super REAL chat between friends about the confidence that comes with getting older, observations on aging in the media (when you’re somewhere between Taylor Swift and Diane Keaton), and re framing our thoughts around aging. It can actually be pretty awesome.
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode:
- The moment where Steph had a mild freak out about her 40 year old metabolism
- The beautiful thing about getting older (confidence man...so much more confidence)
- What’s up with the media representation of women? We’re not Taylor Swift but we’re also not Diane Keaton. Someone please see us!
- What to do when it’s time to stop shopping in the youth department but you’re not ready for pantsuits.
- Things you think about when you’re 40 that you never thought about when you’re 20 (ie. longevity, good shoes, skincare, and sun hats.)
- Steph’s very in-depth research study on 40 year old women (Thank you to those 3 friends that helped out!)
- Getting older is NOT a death sentence. In fact, it’s the opposite. It gets better every year.

I want you to imagine the most confident woman you know.
What does she look like? What does she wear? How does she move and speak? What is it about her that radiates confidence?
These are important clues into what makes us confident. And if you’re not feeling that way right now...believe us you can get there. Confidence is something that is created over time, with a little practice. It doesn’t happen overnight.
Andrea and Kim are breaking down the steps (there are 4 of them) to becoming more confident, the secrets behind their own “not so confident” moments, and throwing in a few random anecdotes about body confidence and fashion. Always keepin it real over here!
