GUT TALK with Jill & Jenna

Latest Episodes:

A CANDID CONVERSATION: Our routines suck and we need to talk about it Nov 02, 2023

Show notes

*SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE END OF THE EPISODE*

It's important for us to stay completely transparent with our Gut Talk Fam, and therefore we are sharing that...we are SO off our routines right now. As self proclaimed "big routine gals," we want to come clean and share the truth. We'd be lying if we told you we have everything together, so we wanted to use this episode as a way of sharing our thoughts, feelings and opinions when it comes to routines. Like why we think they're important, the value they have when it comes to our productivity, how routines improve your health, why we feel like we are "off" our routine game right now and how we're moving through it. Consider this another ~Candid Conversation~ with Jill and me. We love connecting with you all in this way, so if you have any feedback or love the pod, please DM us and rate/review the pod.

EDIT YOUR LIFE: Becoming your version of an "it" girl and elevating your nutrition, body, skin and more Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

Are you like us and tired of living a "medium" life?! We got inspired by a conversation we had on our couch: That we're sick of doing things half-ass, if you will, or not reaching our fullest potential with the things we want to achieve. This is especially when it comes to our skin, health, environment and other areas. We're using this candid conversation as a way of talking through HOW we are going to approach leveling up our lives (Spoiler alert: This isn't about working harder than you ever have before, rather doing the things that make you feel your best to become the happiest and healthiest version of yourself). This isn't a "pick apart your life" project, but rather a "how can I improve the things that I care about in order to live a really good life?"
