In Episode 12, we start off with an interview with our moms. Its a tad late for Mother's Day, but here we are nonetheless. We'll dive into questions about their childhoods, what influences their parenting style, and they'll dish the dirt on us. Then, stay tuned for a really really great subject: Performative Wellness. Do you feel compelled to post about everything you do to stay fit or healthy? Do you feel pressured to do things just because everyone else on social media is? Is it even healthy to do all those things? Listen for this awesome subject and our take on how this phenomenon, performative wellness, is actually MORE stressful, despite people thinking they are doing self care activities.

A weighty subject. Ok, that was a bad pun. This week we're talking about kids and lifting weights, and why its good for them. We'll educate you a little on what weightlifting is and is not, though. And what kids can do and shouldn't do. We'll also talk a little about the benefits of kids weightlifting, like confidence, self esteem, and focus. We mention some resources for finding someone in your area who is qualified and trustworthy, if you're interested in getting your kids into strength sports: Brand X Method (Jeff and Mikki Martin run a second-to-none program that has some awesome information and tools for parents who are interested in learning more about this, and finding a qualified coach. In the Kansas City area, in no specific order: Kristina gave a shout out to Jerrell Barber @ Strength Guild (olympic lifting, general conditioning) Sarah recommended Kansas City Barbell (general strength training, olympic lifting, and powerlifting) and Anna Martin at KC Weightlifting (olympic lifting) Products We Love This Week: Kristina has totally fallen in love with the Rocketbook, a notebook you can write, but also digitally saves all your notes, so you can re-use the same notebook without having to lose your notes. and Sarah finally found an amazing digestive bitters formula in Urban Moonshine bitters. She has been using these to support digestion and really loves that they reduce after meal bloating, too. You can also listen here: iTunes Questions or something you want to share with us?

In Episode 9, Kristina and Sarah get to interview a phenomenal human being: Jill Cockson, majority owner of Swordfish Tom's, a speakeasy in Kansas City. Jill has over 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry, and this is not the first bar of which she has been the proprietor. Her concept at Swordfish Tom's is so unique, yet has broken down pre-conceived notions about what a bar or craft cocktail establishment can be. We'll discuss some trends in the drink industry that have shaped how she has selected ingredients and spirits to carry, as well as how, as a woman entrepreneur, she has applied her unique perspective to her business model, in a male dominated industry. *This is Sarah, and I feel compelled to apologize because I didn't realize I referred to Whistle Pig as "Whiskey Pig" (I have no idea why, I know better, I promise!)

In this episode, we speak with our BFFs about how strong female friendships play a role in shaping who we are and how we navigate life's challenges. Thanks to Heather and Dana for joining us! You may be thinking 'What does that have to do with health, or wellness?' Well, its pretty well documented that, as we age, if we do not have strong social connections and support systems (e.g., with other human beings), we are much more likely to experience cognitive decline, mood disorders, and poor health. We will share how we met our besties, what they mean to us, and how they have positively affected (and still do affect) our lives.
