BloomFit Training (@bloomfittraining) allows fitness professionals to become Body Positive Coaches, and leads workshops for groups on all things body image. I got to sit down with the founder of BloomFit Training, Shelby Lawson (@shelbitheyogini), where she got candid about what led her to start the business and how this interest in starting conversations around a taboo topic that affects us all has become a full-blown mission.

- How body positivity differs from the “fat acceptance” movement
- The importance of talking about body image in the fitness space specifically
- How to navigate social situations when people are putting themselves down

Welcome back to another Bite-Size Sunday episode, a short solo show where Preslie will cover a specific aspect of health and nutrition and give you tangible tips you can implement in your life today.
Today's episode is all about how to be your own health advocate, which is critical while you're trying to conquer a chronic illness, or just get rid of those "regular" headaches you have.

In this episode, you'll learn how to: 1. Follow-up (including what to say to your doctor), 2. Keep detailed records and why it's so important, 3. Nail the "basics" and what those are, 4. Do an elimination diet (+ what that is) and why that's critical in feeling better, and 5. Remain positive while managing health issues.
Please enjoy!

The power couple Taylor Wray (IG: @taylor_wrayyoga) and Tommy Mac ( @tommymacstoryteller) are changing the game in the world of yoga. Separately they have their own businesses, and together they combine those with their passions to form Livin in Flow ( @livininflow), an approachable, inclusive, fun way to experience and advance the mind-body connection.
In this interview, we talk all about the misconceptions people have about yoga, who it's for (you guessed it, everyone!), the benefits, you name it. Taylor and Tommy also recount the first yoga retreat they led in Costa Rica, where they got stranded on an island in a storm, and the takeaways they and the guests have from that once in a lifetime situation.
"People come to yoga for the physical practice, and end up leaving with so much more." — Taylor Wray
We also chat about:
• What meditation is and isn't (hint: it doesn't mean you just "stop thinking")
• The different styles of yoga
• What Taylor and Tommy have learned about creating events
• How to navigate working with your significant other

Jill Petersen (IG: @jillpetersen8) is truly one of a kind, and I am thrilled to share her story with you on this episode. We start by discussing the two times, yes two, that she has left a stable career to pursue a bigger purpose. Most recently, she has added entrepreneur to her resume, and shares how her new venture will empower women to embrace self-care, live a purposeful life and let go of the baggage they may be carrying that's holding them back.
We also chat about:
• The ONE major thing her former manager told her that changed the way she lives her life (and how you can use it too!)
• How to get past the doubt that sets in after you make a bold change or take a leap of faith
• The negative implication of the word "just"
• The power in exploring the things you're secretly passionate about
• Ways to maximize the gifts you already have
• Why learning how to improvise is so important (with a hilarious example)
Throughout the entire conversation, there are moments of vulnerability, laughter, relatable stories of struggle, and tangible tips on coming into the best version of yourself. Jill is so full of energy and encouragement, and her perspective is exactly what you'd want to hear from a friend over coffee — a reassuring pat on the back, a boost of support, and a lot of love. Please enjoy!

Charlee Moseley (IG: @charleemoseley) is a client of Hey Preslie Nutrition who has lost 30+ pounds during her time in the program, and gained so much of her life back; from the confidence and energy to do things she'd been missing out on, to significantly improving her major health markers.
Now she can walk around her favorite destination, Disneyland, without her feet aching and the uncomfortable temptations of food, and truly enjoy the experience. Her optimistic attitude and natural tendency to focus on appreciating the non-scale victories has helped her solidify these healthy lifestyle changes and new-found freedom for years to come.
We kick off the conversation talking about how the lack of genuine fulfillment in Charlee's medical career led her to go back to school and pursue her passion for writing and reading. Then, we dive into the importance of tracking the small wins during your health journey, the value of having a supportive environment in your life, and what Charlee has learned about finding the health approach that works for you personally, as opposed to what's trendy or works for someone else.

This is the first installment of Bite-Size Sunday, a brief solo show where in 5-10 minutes, Preslie will cover a specific aspect of health and nutrition and give you tangible tips you can implement in your life today.
Today's episode is all about water and staying hydrated - why it matters, how much you need, and FIVE practical ways you can increase your intake.
Here's an overview, along with links mentioned in the episode:
Tip 1: Get a water bottle you love, like a Hydroflask or Yeti, and a straw attachment. Cover it with stickers you love, like this one!
Tip 2: Set alarms on your phone to remind you to drink water every 1-2 hours. And, create time or activity associations, such as drinking water every time you eat a meal/snack or when you're at a light while driving.
Tip 3: Increase slowly - build up your intake 5-10 ounces at a time, letting your bladder adjust in between, so you're not constantly running to the bathroom.
Tip 4: Set visual goals, such as checkboxes or marks to achieve throughout the day. Also, an app like Plant Nanny can help you stay motivated and on top of your intake.
Tip 5: Spice up your water with fresh cut produce such as berries, watermelon, lemon, lime, or mint leaves.
Hope you enjoy this one, and go get those sips in!

"I knew that I was built for something bigger than I'd even discovered. And I figured doing the things that scared me the most would get me there." —Bree Pear
Bree is the founder of Only Human (IG: @onlyhuman), a community organization that through social entrepreneurship, apparel and events, advocates for a variety of causes that people don’t frequently discuss on social media such as homelessness, suicide, mental health, human trafficking, and more. The Only Human movement was built from the ground up out of Bree’s experience "hitting rock bottom", and has grown to include an advocacy program across the country to spread the message of becoming better humans.
We start the conversation with the history of the company, what caused Bree to live in her car (and then the inventory room), and the variety of ways Only Human creates an impact and cultivates community. Then, we discuss her healthy lifestyle journey and how she stays active and keeps her nutrition on point when on the road between events and while juggling a busy schedule.
This one is packed with inspiration, insight and tips -- please enjoy!

On May 6, 2018 I was asked to present a nutrition seminar for members of the community, hosted by a local lululemon location. For those who couldn’t be there, I wanted to share my speech from that event with you by putting together this special episode.
I open with a bit on my background and poor eating habits growing up, and the struggles I faced working through an eating disorder and body image issues. I talk about the chronic illness I was diagnosed with at the age of 14-years-old that brought my athletic aspirations to a halt, and how my first job at a gym encouraged me to do a figure show in hopes of fixing my low self-esteem. These experiences ultimately led to my mission to better understand how to fuel the human body for sustainable health and longevity.
Then, I address common misconceptions, and discuss my nutrition best practices; or the five things you should know whether you’re just trying to eat well or are contemplating starting a diet.
As an exclusive offer for this episode, listeners receive 15% off nutrition coaching programs through Hey Preslie Nutrition (use discount code: lululemon). You’ll receive one-on-one coaching packed with accountability, information and strategies to help you achieve your goals and sustain your results long-term.

Founders of Monolith, a lifestyle and apparel brand, Kurt Nortman (IG: @kurtnortman) and Adam Truszkowski (IG: @adam_thinks_massive) are building much more than a business. Their shared passion for encouraging like-minded individuals to form connections, and a vision of a more informed consumer in the health and fitness space, drives these best friends forward every day in their mission to create a movement.
In this interview, we start with how both Kurt and Adam left their full-time jobs in unrelated careers to pursue a bigger purpose, which ultimately becomes the company Monolith. They explain what Think Massive means, what it doesn’t mean (despite popular belief), and how those who truly resonate with the ideology have come out in extraordinary ways to express how the brand has changed their life. We also discuss how to make noise in a saturated market, especially when competing with those who offer quick fixes and false claims.
It’s a fun conversation full of insight and inspiration. Enjoy!
