#314-Ruby Cherie: On Health Privilege, Fitness Identities And Learning How To Pivot (2 of 4)
July 15, 2021 04:30 - 55 minutes - 39.9 MBIn Part 2 of our 4-part series, Ruby Cherie and I take inspiration from a recent article written about our last episode together to discuss what we can learn about privilege and identities within diets and fitness. There were so many avenues to take the conversation and it almost seems like we only scratched the surface.

#313-Ruby Cherie: A "Health First" Approach (1 of 4)
July 08, 2021 04:30 - 41 minutes - 30.3 MBRuby Cherie returns as my next guest for our newest 4-part series on the show. She was previously on Episodes 96 and 213 which I definitely recommend you check out as well. In this first part, we conquer the reasons why you would benefit from focusing on health before focusing on getting smaller at all costs. Within that, we discuss better sleep, better self-talk, a focus on getting stronger and a focus on challenging yourself with new goals. To learn more about Ruby: www.facebook.com/...
#312-Sohee Lee: Diet Culture Vs. Anti-Diet Culture (4 of 4)
July 01, 2021 04:30 - 42 minutes - 33.2 MBIn the final part of our 4-part series together, Sohee Lee and I tackle the topics of diet culture and anti-diet culture. There was so much for us to sift through in this episode and we both did our best to present both sides of the coin in the most respectful way possible. As one could imagine, there are pros and cons to both stances and we used our time together in the last of the series to try and break it all down.
