This week we start with listener emails and discuss your feedback from the diet culture harm episode. We talk about why it’s hard to NOT talk about it while at the same time wonder if we’re perpetuating the problem. We take a great right turn to discussing taking a break from our phone-checking compulsion disorder (PCCD, we made that up). And end on an even better note, listener Q&A! Please leave us a review!

This week is all about owning the process. For Joy, “raising the bar” is out, and coming to terms with feeling totally freaked out by life is in… unless you’re talking about murder documentaries, in which case, she needs a break. We also talk about “anxiety insurance,” aka worrying about something to try to keep it from happening – we all do it to some degree, but how can we manage our mental health in the meantime? Finally, we answer a bunch of listener questions, from talking about our wedding days to the latest fights with our spouses, and what household tasks we just “don’t see.” Please leave us a review on iTunes!

This week we are processing in real-time, so get ready for some imperfect conversations about a few big topics. A comment about Beyonce’s latest documentary leads to a long discussion about body image, how to reconcile body positivity with the desire to lose weight and look a certain way, and how body type privilege plays into the phrase “I just want my body to feel good.” Then we talk more about the dietitian vs. nutritionist debate, and talk about how nutritionists can actually be super knowledgable and helpful – you just need to know what you’re getting into. Last but not least, we discuss a few of our favorite products right now, from diapers to books to mascara. Get ready, there is a lot packed into this hour!

This week we finally go into detail about one of the most common questions we get: What made Claire decide to have kids, and Joy decide not to? How did we approach those decisions and what ultimately led us to the choices we made? We also chat about Claire’s first postpartum workout and how she’s been rehabbing her core and body after pregnancy, catch up about our New Year’s resolution progress, and seriously, we are NOT going to stop bugging you guys about coming to Tulum.

It is an honor and a pleasure to welcome back Emily Abbott to the podcast. It’s been quite a year for Emily and we talk about the personal growth that comes from intense life challenges. Her new life chapter includes Psychedelic Gypsy Fitness taking back fitness through daily functional workouts and weekly intention setting. Joy pulls a classic end-of-the-episode question where we get in to the weeds about macros and diets, so we’re pretty much setting you up for a sequel to this important discussion. ENJOY!!

This week we catch up on life. We check in with Claire and how she’s been feeling. We review the Crossfit Open and still agree that Dave Castro needs to come back. We get in to the new Queer Eye season and profess our infinite love for JVN. We answer the important question: Where do you see yourself in 5 or 10 years? Are you ever too old to pick up a new hobby or learn a new skill? And answer more listener questions such as, “what do you miss about the first years of recording GGW?” Hint: cat hair bedroom.
