Katie lost 90 pounds without counting calories or working out even one time. Here’s how! (Whole 30? Paleo? Keto? Lose the baby weight?) Dec 31, 2019

(Yikes, was that some click bait or what?) Here we go again talking about Katie’s body. This time she lost 90 pounds with her fourth child. Topics include: paleo, keto, strength training, her wrist injury, how she healed it, anti-inflamation, calories-in calories-out myth. Also: Katie is not a doctor. Please consult a doctor. She’s just a mom of four with a microphone and 90 fewer pounds on her body. Oh, and 90% more energy. Also she likes herself. She liked herself before she lost the weight and still likes herself now. Body positive. Go bodies. (Phew. Got those disclaimers in. Let’s begin.)

096: Criticism: Part 2! Haters, Fear & Creativity, What do you do when someone (GASP!) doesn't like you! Season 7 Finale! Aug 21, 2018

Season 7 Finale! So now what? What do you do with feedback you get from the people you DO CARE about? The people who are on the arena floor with you. The friends, the coaches, the directors, the spouse(?!!)

“I want to be in the arena. I want to be brave with my life. And when we make the choice to dare greatly, we sign up to get our @sses kicked. We can choose courage or we can choose comfort, but we can’t have both. Not at the same time.
A lot of cheap seats in the arena are filled with people who never venture onto the floor. They just hurl mean-spirited criticisms and put-downs from a safe distance. The problem is, when we stop caring what people think and stop feeling hurt by cruelty, we lose our ability to connect. But when we’re defined by what people think, we lose the courage to be vulnerable. Therefore, we need to be selective about the feedback we let into our lives. For me, if you’re not in the arena getting your @ss kicked, I’m not interested in your feedback.” -Brene Brown

095: Criticism: Part 1! Haters, Fear & Creativity, What do you do when someone (GASP!) doesn't like you! Aug 14, 2018

You can't please everyone all the time. OR CAN YOU? No. No, you can't. Katie Day, our resident, recovering people-pleaser leads us through how she has overcome her fear of critique and criticism and has decided to STILL MAKE THE THING. She walks us through the more vulnerable side of comedy and what it feels like when someone on the internet calls you fat. Haters, Fear & Creativity, What do you do when someone (GASP!) doesn't like you!

074:Instagram with Intention Series Part 3: Business Profiles and curating a Personal Brand. Is the time worth it? Jan 23, 2018

Do you need a separate business profile? What is a personal brand? Can you beat the algorithm? How many hours of your 40-hour workweek should you be spending on Instagram? IS IT EVEN WORTH IT? The girls dive into these questions as well as a few apps/tools to help with business. That said, the conclusion: Be really honest about whether or not the time you are putting into Instagram is actually measurably growing your business because popularity does not necessarily equal profitability and we'd rather spending hours "making the thing" than wasting our time marketing a thing we never made.

Perspective is the precious gift Rachel gives us in this interview. We were left inspired, encouraged, and educated on a subject many people may avoid: special needs and disability. Listen to her tips on what to say/what not say/ inclusion and how to change the world!

F.I.V.E. things that I would tell a mom whose child just received a diagnoses of any kind:

Give yourself time: to process and FEEL whatever is on your heart.
Take it one day at a time, don't jump too far ahead to the future. Just get through today.
Remember that a diagnoses is just a small part of who your child is; it does not define them.
When you are ready, connect with another mom who has been on a similar journey or find a support network that can offer resources for you and your family.
Advocate for what you know is best for your child - you will make a big difference in their life and the lives of other people/families.
