In today's episode we are talking about ableism. If you're not familiar, here's what it is: “Ableism is the discrimination of and social prejudice against people with disabilities based on the belief that typical abilities are superior. At its heart, ableism is rooted in the assumption that disabled people require ‘fixing' and defines people by their disability. Like racism and sexism, ableism classifies entire groups of people as ‘less than,' and includes harmful stereotypes, misconceptions, and generalizations of people with disabilities.” Things we mentioned in this episode: We talked about one of our favorite leaders, https://www.instagram.com/maysoonzayid/ (Maysoon Zayid), and her book “https://amzn.to/2AebXOK (Find Another Dream)”. The documentary “https://www.netflix.com/title/81001496 (Crip Camp)” on Netflix. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/netflix-s-crip-camp-one-most-important-films-about-disability-ncna1176456 (NBC News) describes it as “not only as an excellent introduction to disability history for those who are unfamiliar, but as a humanizing glimpse into the lives of civil rights leaders”. The popular YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4E98HDsPXrf5kTKIgrSmtQ (Special Books by Special Kids), interviews people in the neurodiverse/disability community.  What to expect inside the episode: 2:05 - What is Ableism? 3:22 - What has been your experience with ableism and differently abled people and why are you passionate about it? 17:55 - Lizzie, as someone who has a differently abled sibling, what are some real life situations you have witnessed about discrimination and ableism? 27:45 - Fighting for equal rights for differently abled people.  41:15 - Using people first language and why that's important. 50:00 - We share our Yay for the Day!

In this episode we are talking about the industry that created us both: the fitness industry! We dive into lighthearted topics like the objectification of bodies in the name of “fitness”, how the fitness industry has hijacked wellness, how to know if the fitness advice you're getting is trustworthy, and more. We encourage you to be conscious consumers of media and to start critically thinking about the marketing and messaging you see, especially in regards to mainstream fitness cultures. There is quality information out there as well as a lot of BS so we hope this shines a light on some aspects of the fitness industry that aren't talked about enough!

If you are like Lizzie and I, you have likely spent a lifetime being told to "shrink" "tone" "diet" and "restrict" in an effort to lose weight and fit the cultural ideal of beauty. Diet culture has made us believe that we must choke down cabbage soup and wear waist trainers in an attempt to change our bodies. Much of the daily messaging we get when it comes to exercise, nutrition, and body image that comes from diet culture is VERY toxic. So we begin to break down the messaging that doesn't serve us and how to weed through the BS And find a way to meaningfully live your happiest and healthiest life outside of our diet cultural conditioning. We also want to remind you that we are here to serve you with quality information and things you can do at home that are going to help you during quarantine so tune in as we go over some helpful tools today!

We are here to remind you that there isn't a one size fits all approach to handling this, however we do hope we can offer some tools to help you as we travel through this uncharted territory in our lives.

In today's episode we talk all things sober living and how you can begin exploring this in your own life. We both discuss our own journeys that brought us to being sober curious in a culture where drinking a glass or two or three at the end of a long work day and meeting friends for drinks is a celebrated past time. Stacia starts off the episode sharing her rock bottom story that turned into an opportunity to get curious about a more sober lifestyle. You don't need to be an alcoholic to make the empowered choice to be sober and enjoy an alcohol free lifestyle. We provide tips, tricks, and resources for people at all different points in their sober curious journey. Also, it's totally cool to be sober curious and still drink as you find what works best for you and your life. This isn't about condemning alcohol or those who consume it, simply a safe space to explore your sober curiosity. We hope this offers some new insight, encouragement, and resources for you.

In today's episode we tackle the question "How can I maintain a productive relationship with my body while also making some changes, whether that be to lose weight or get in better shape etc". Many of us have spent our lives obsessing over our bodies and the number on the scale. We have been conditioned to think if we hate ourselves just enough, then we will be able to "fix that" and "change this" and finally start loving ourselves. We here at HYGT Podcast believe that you are more than your body, more than a number on the scale, and that it is time to stop trying to hate yourself healthy and learn to give yourself and your body some much deserved love and care. It's great to want to improve, get stronger, workout and make healthier choices, we just encourage that it comes from a place of kindness and compassion instead of suffering and punishment. Join us as we dive deep into why it is so dang important to love yourself healthy! There are plenty of great ways to connect with us.

Welcome to Hey, You Got This Podcast. We are here to deliver engaging and exciting conversations on wellness with a little bit of weirdness that you get to a part of. Lizzie talks about what it was like finding a love for rowing in college and becoming a college athlete and performing at a high level and how her journey has evolved from dedicated athlete to zen yoga practitioner and badass instructor. Journeying through many hours of yoga teacher training and working with clients and her own personal wellness exploration, Lizzie has become an expert in all things yoga, meditation, mindfullness, owning her own business and how to balance it all as a high achieving and wonderful woman!

After getting several well known certifications in personal training and nutrition coaching, she went on to start training clients at a high end fitness facility in Las Vegas.
