Braving through the storm can sometimes be the toughest part of your cycle. What may be worse? Taylor's traitor status with the MCU. We break down the ~science~ behind working out on your period, getting in tune with your body, and how incredibly helpful endorphins are (who knew?). We then reveal how Taylor and Keith absolutely ruined their reputations, all thanks to Spider-Man: Far from Home. MCUniversers, we are so terribly sorry in advance.

I'll let you in on a little secret: this episode is *sponsored* by the very exclusive sweat and tears I have spent obsessing over my fears, anxiety, and a wee bit of reality television over the past few weeks. But isn't that what the Twisty Pod is for? To bring us together to vent? No judgement zone? Same time next week, but then it's your turn.
Also, the episode where I happen to rant on about my new and improved and ever-so-fabulous microphone, is also the same episode where I had 101 audio and video problems and ended up needing to use my camera audio for the podcast. And with that, I extend my sincerest apologies for your ears, your hearts, and my very weak moment far, far away from humility.

A moment (and hopefully, a lifetime) for body acceptance and positivity, denim on denim on denim, keratosis pilaris, bathing suits hauls, and much, much more. I share openly about my journey to loving my skin and also take the soapbox to declare why we should never feel unconfident trying on bathing suits. This episode is honest and raw and dives into topics I haven't publicly shared, but highlights the importance of loving who we are, as we are, and becoming our own biggest cheerleader.

It is always (bold, highlight, underscore, italicize) important to love and take care of your body - but right now truly feels more pressing than ever. Surely I can't be alone in this--oh that's right because I've never had an original thought ever (it's a joke I swear). I'm here to remind you of a little something I like to call the power of the body, how amazing and beautiful it truly is (I'm oozing with gouda here), and putting my foot down on comparative culture.

Does drinking lemon water increase your metabolism? Does intermittent fasting truly help you to lose weight?

This week I am joined by the host of the Beauty and the Biotech Beast podcast, Paige Halas, who will help me debunk and UNTWIST some of our favorite fitness trends and myths through the power of scientific research.

We will never grow inside our comfort zone. And sometimes that comfort zone is your 2-bedroom apartment during a global pandemic. And sometimes when you don't leave that 2-bedroom apartment for 7 months, you lose a social skill or two. This episode covers the beauty of the comfort zone, allowing feedback and criticism in our lives, my experience with personal training, and of course, Christmas trees. Welcome to the biggest rant of all time and yet another episode of this twisty pod.

We live in a culture that enables excessive productivity and it can be a lot to handle. The trend of self-care can seem like all roses and bubble baths, but it really is so paramount to finding a good balance in your life. I share the story of my horrific history with self-care and how negatively productivity culture affected me. I hope this episode is helpful for you all as we share tips on how to take better care of ourselves and untwist after a long day (see what I did there).

In this week's episode, Taylor (once again) does not shut up about wanting to become a runner and how her running journey was inspired by her persistent FOMO. We also go down the dark rabbit hole that is sharing your unpopular opinions on the internet--hot takes, if you will. We talk Emily in Paris, OnlyFans, beginner workouts, Christmas movies, and so much more. Always a chaotic episode with Twisty Tay!

Ah, YouTube. The wild, wild, West of the internet where creators like me come to embarrass ourselves. As a new and very confused YouTuber myself, I'm answering some questions that would have saved me God only knows how much time at the start of my "career." From sponsorships to Michael Phelps to creative control (please understand my School of Rock reference), it truly is the wild wild West! Yeehaw.

Gymtimidation: the made-up word that we all understand. Why does this exist and how the heck can we remove it from our lives? Do not remember inviting her to the party. We talk about my college gym experience, ways to feel more confident, and the infamous squat rack. Time to get personal.

It's time to get VULNERABLE, babyy! Opening up is really hard, but so is changing. Going to college, moving to a new city, getting a job with coworkers who are nothing short of intimidating: it's a lot for a little heart to handle. I'm sharing one of my recent experiences with social anxiety, how I'm learning to make new friends in a new city during a global pandemic, and friendships galore. This is the most I have ever opened up on the internet, so brb while I'm #cryingintheclub

Who's ready for a STORYTIME babyy! Today I'm finally untwisting the story of the time Keith and I were almost scammed out of our livelihoods (not the least bit dramatic here whatsoever) and were completely scared sh*tless. For legal reasons, this is not based on any factual event.

Am I a big phat loser for not writing a NYT bestselling novel in quarantine?! Why does it feel like I'm constantly being told, "you can sleep when you die!" From breakdowns in class, professing my love for Christmas, pursuing sports cars, and obsessing over Lamare, I am more than guilty of adding to the narrative of productivity culture: its positives, negatives, and oh-so toxicity (?). This is going to get ugly and very untwisty.

The looming fear of national holidays, dating like it's a gosh darn interview, conquering imposter syndrome...oh the many facets of learning to be more CONFIDENT. This episode is extremely interactive as I'm taking a deep dive into understanding how in the HECK we can learn to be more confident in every area of our lives. Time to kick some confident butt. Hot twisty tip: take a shot (of your preferred and legal beverage) every time I say the word "practice."

Ah, the fourth wall: Taylor's archnemesis. There's an overwhelmingly large amount of inauthenticity online that prevents us from know what in the heck is real and what is FaceTuned. And what's compromised as a result? My confidence. Welp.
Today we are talking transparency, working as a full-time social media influencer, and learning all about OSA. You're in for a treat.
