New York City! Or as I like to refer to it: a foodies paradise. In this episode my friend and travel buddy, Alex Rice chat about our favorites as well as tips for avoiding long lines. At the mid way point we tap into our "travel mindsets" as it pertains to food and fitness, how that has changed over time and how we recover once we get back.

Podcast overview:

• NYC travel favorites and tips
• Travel mindset, nutrition and weight gain
• Travel mindset, fitness/exercise
• Returning from travel, getting "back on track"

I ran a half marathon! I wanted to give some insight on how I trained and prepped for my most recent race, the Nike After Dark Half Marathon! It was an evening race, which isn't the norm, so take that into consideration. I also wanted to take this opportunity to dive into why I am breaking up with distance training and the learning opportunity it presented me with.

Podcast Overview:
- my training for a half marathon
- my nutrition for a half marathon
- race day specifics
- why I am breaking up with distance training*if I run a race, I will not be training for it!
**if I go for a random long run - it will not be because I am prepared for it!

SKINNYTOK?! A revival of the toxic thin ideal of the 90’s and a new (big) trend on Tiktok. In this podcast I share my perspective, experience, and thoughts. All in hopes of shedding light on a dark topic and clarity where their uncertainty might exist.

• Beauty standards are just trends
• We often learn through experimenting - the pendulum of extremes is a teaching moment
• The fat phobia of skinny tok leads to women, young girls to harshly judge (hate) themselves
• Embracing healthy over size
• Longevity
• The good side of Skinny Tok?
