Is it actually expensive to eat healthy? (Spoiler Alert: it's not!) Whats a Micro Habit and how can you utilize them for success? Can I REALLY lose weight and eat pizza at the same time? "Dieting" does not have to be miserable. Learn how to make your personal goals...whatever they may be, attainable.

Are you going after what you want? Or are you comfortable sitting back and waiting for things to find you? Are you too accessible? Can we outgrow the outdated gender etiquette conditioning we were raised by? Today we talk about Polarity in relationships. Yes, opposites attract, but it's deeper than that. Masculine and Feminine energies are at work in all of our relations, both romantic and platonic as well as socially and in the workplace. And no, these energies do not reflect gender. Understanding your energy can help you lean into ideas you may have previously avoided on traditional etiquette. Embracing your energy will empower you to take charge of your career, sexuality and relationships.

No agenda. No notes. Nada. We end up sharing what makes us uncomfortable. You know, stuff like grocery stores, doctor appointments and feet. Speaking of feet, we delve into some fetish and kink talk. Side Note: Elizabeth would be a terrible Dominantrix and Kathryn would probably be a great one. We share some thoughts on more serious notes like mental health, antidepressants and asking for help. Destigmatizing mental health issues has never been more important than right now. You aren't alone. Your feelings are real and deserve to be reorganized and met with compassion and love. We wrap up with acknowledging how hard saying what you need in a relationship is and how honoring your body and your mind is crucial to your wellbeing.

Everyone has insecurities. Are you inadvertently punishing people around you because of your own hang ups? Have you ever felt less worthy, less pretty, or intimidated when a beautiful woman or good looking man walks into a room? Have you ever wondered if your partner finds you less attractive because they follow a certain hottie on social media? Have you ever hurt or limited your children's friendships because YOU feel out of place with other parents? These feelings of jealousy or ineptitude can affect those closest to us. When really, there's enough sparkle, love and passion for everyone in this world. Come sit with us today as we open up about how we ourselves have been guilty of some of these exact things. As always we thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing this with a friend. xo From our hearts to yours, we see you, we hear you. xo We love your feed back!

Hi Friends! Today's talk is very personal. We open up about Disordered Eating, Binge Eating and Restricting. Every 62 minutes at least one person dies from an Eating Disorder. Today Kathryn and Elizabeth share personal struggles with food and image. Battling your brain and your body can be scary. Our world is different right now. We are more isolated, less active, alone with our thoughts more. All of this can heighten any inner struggle. Come along. Your thoughts are real. Your battle is valid. Your body is important. You are "normal". And most importantly you are not alone sweet friends. If you are in need of help, The National Eating Disorder Hotline is free and available anytime (800)931-2237.

When we sat down to record today, we had no plan. No topic. Nada. We hit record anyway, not thinking we'd get anything other than a sound check. Well, convo (and maybe a White Claw or two) started flowing and before we knew it, we had 37 minutes of real talk. Today, Kathryn gets a lesson on selling dirty panties, OnlyFans and some Sugar Daddy tips. We quickly revisit Abundance and how it's critical to daily, helpful mindset. Somehow, that chat turns into talk about IUD's. Which leads us to some religious facts and stances. Growing up LDS and (kinda sorta not really) Catholic still has lasting effects on our lives. And brings us to the question "Is this what I really think/feel, or is it just what i was told"? Come sit with us. At best, maybe you'll walk away with some new thoughts and perspective on why you believe what you believe. At least, you'll know how to side hustle some panties if times ever get tough. We love your feedback and questions! Email us: firewalkerpodcast@gmail.com or reach out to us on Facebook or Instagram.

We are back for part 2 of our talk with Franco Zavala, creator and host of the Professional Step Dad Podcast. We finish up with a couple of additional, totally unglamorous but important facets of Blended Families, including how we as adults can strive to find common ground with our own Step Parents. Why and how opening your heart to a new parent figure is critical, even for grownups. Step Parenting aside, we chat with Franco about letting go of your own hang ups...and we reveal some of our own personal skeletons we have hiding in our closets.

We are poppin our 3-way cherry today with our first guest, Franco Zavala. Franco is the creator and host of The Professional Step-Dad Podcast AND father figure to 5 children. Talking about Step-Parenting challenges and successes isn't the most glamours subject and isn't as prevalent in mainstream conversation as it should be, considering how common it is in modern families. Today we talk with Franco about all aspects of successful step families including: * The role of a step parent * What personal work needs to be done by both individuals (bio parent and new spouse) before they can expect harmony in their new family dynamic * The role that DNA and being a protector plays into marriage * Recognizing your worth and what you each bring to the table * What a single parent is actually seeking * Learning to let your guard down when you meet someone worthy of trust with your children * Handing outside criticism from your partners ex and also their family * Importance of being in sync with your spouse and understanding all communication, both verbal and non verbal. * Decoding what your own parents are concerned about in your potential and new relationships and the real reason why they ask the questions they do * Why both partners need to be "all-in" * The feeling of being called "Dad" or "Mom" for the first time Today isn't just for blended families. Everyone can learn from and apply these points to their own relationships... with their spouse, children, parents and even close friends. We love your feedback and questions!
