Yin and yang, shabby and chic, sea salt and dark chocolate (mmm…chocolate…). Opposing forces that come together to make something awesome. That’s NIGHT and DAY! Join us, PJ Makinen (PM) and Alanna Makinen (AM) on our relatable journey of finding fitness and nutrition while raising two active boys, working full-time jobs, and making time for friends and memories. We’ll talk CrossFit (shocker), diet and meal planning, parenting, and other daily life topics from two different points of view. Have a listen, have a laugh, and come along on our journey to balancing the good life and good health.
