From Punishment to Empowerment: Healing Your...

Stronger Than Your Boyfriend ·

2025/08/05

Today’s episode of the podcast is about healing your relationship with movement. The fitness industry is riddled with diet culture, toxic fitness messaging, fear-based marketing, social media comparisons, and celebrity worship. No wonder so many of us think exercise is a form of torture to endure in order to look good for other people. We are moving away from the “no pain, no gain” mindset and toward the shift so many of us need: seeing exercise not as punishment, but as a form of empowerment...

Stronger Than Your Boyfriend ·

2025/07/01

Today we’re discussing the dark side of the fitness industry: how it profits off your insecurities. The health and fitness industry is worth $115 billion, and what’s not talked about enough is how much of that money is made by making people feel like they’re not good enough. We love fitness and health, but the problem is that a lot of what’s being sold is manipulation. So how do you know when you’re being played by the health and wellness industry? And more importantly, what can you do to tak...

Then you find the next routine a few months later. However, progress only happens when you stick to a boring, affective, foundational and repetitive routine. In this episode, we breakdown why you keep falling off, what t...

Are Squats & Deadlifts Necessary?

2025/05/13

In this episode of the podcast, we ask the question: “Are squats and deadlifts essential in a strength training routine?” The short answer is yes—but not in the way you might think. Squats and hinges are part of the eight foundational movement patterns in strength training. These movements are considered foundational because they can be loaded heavily and are compound movements that engage the entire body. However, not everything is black and white. Some people may not initially be able to pe...

In this episode, we break down the difference between flexibility and mobility, and why mobility, strength through full range of motion, matters more than just reaching a stretch.
