Let’s get to know each other!

Ever wonder how your mindset shapes your body image more than your mirror does? Join Zoë and Donaé on Giggles and Glutes as they crack open the secrets of neuroplasticity and the transformative power of positive affirmations. It's not just about shaping your waistline; it's about reshaping your mind. You'll walk away understanding why whispering sweet nothings to yourself isn't self-centered—it's a brain hack for a healthier, happier you. Plus, we explore how the adrenaline rush from exercise is the best mood booster, showering you with feel-good hormones and kicking stress to the curb.

Switching gears, we lean into the strength mindset, championing the idea of appreciating what your body can do rather than just how it looks. We're talking about chasing those dopamine highs through movement and recognizing the small wins that keep you going. Zoë and Donaé weigh in on mindful eating and how focusing on strength can amp up your confidence. But beware: we also spotlight the gym's tricky pitfalls, like body dysmorphia. Conclude the journey with our Body Love Challenge, a call to action to cherish your body over the next week through self-care activities. Tag us @gigglesandglutes as you embark on this empowering journey of self-love. Your body is amazing—let's celebrate it together!
