Ep. 81 - Rethinking the Diet: Use What Works For Your Body! - with Alex Mazzurco

Alex Mazzurco is a fitness coach and business coach who has flipped the script on what it means to eat a “healthy diet.” Because we’re all different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to being healthy! When Alex started fitness competitions, she was approaching health with a scarcity and restriction mindset – but after a long journey, she’s learned to do this work in a healthy way by focusing on nourishing her body with what it needs.

Ep. 77 - The Art of Bravery: Living in a Bus, Daring Not to Settle, & Embracing Who You Are - with Christiana Hill

Christiana Hill is probably the most interesting person we’ve ever met – She and her husband live in a school bus converted into a tiny home (check it out on her Instagram! ), she quit her job to launch The Art of Bravery, and now she helps women learn about their best and bravest selves! We talk a lot about our collective misconception around bravery. It doesn’t have to be this giant leap, like quitting your job or leaving a relationship or moving to a different country.

Ep. 76 - Everything Adrenal: How to Reduce Stress & Connect with Your Body - with Laura Schoenfeld

This was a really great reminder that so many women work hard on maintaining their health, but end up overstressed, overtrained, and undernourished. Let's keep taking care of our bodies, but in a way that...

We had the pleasure of sitting down with the lovely Holly Lowery, an eating disorder recovery coach, an anti-diet advocate, and the host of the Well + Weird podcast. This is a great conversation about finding love for our body, finding health no matter where you fall on the weight spectrum, and embracing exactly who you are + who you’re supposed to be. It’s also a conversation that a lot of women NEED to have, but are afraid after years of programming telling us that we need to look, eat, or act...

We sit down to chat with one of Nina’s favorite period gurus, Nicole Jardim!

It might feel like TMI for some people, but there’s too much GREAT information in here that everyone should know!!

On April 20th, we had so much fun hosting a live event called Harness Your Fear with former guests Ashley Rector (Founder of Harness Magazine) and Julie Wojno (Health Coach & Fitness Instructor).

BONUS - Soulstrology: Aligning with the Cosmos to Create Your Future - with Ambi Kavanaugh

In this bonus episode, we’re talking about the Moon, the Sun, Mercury… and all the cosmos!! Ambi Kavanaugh joins us to chat about Soulstrology, and we think this is a great episode for anyone who feels on the fence about astrology because Ambi does not practice traditional astrology; Ambi is not helping people predict their future from a horoscope. Instead, Ambi helps people align their energy with the natural energies of the cosmos to create their own future. By understanding the unique charact...
