What if your 'summer body' wasn't something to fix—but something to fuel your surf stoke? If you're tired of seeing summer framed as a time to shrink yourself, this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women's Surfing Podcast™ is your permission slip to redefine what it means to feel good in your body—on land and in the lineup.In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Surf Société Member Danyelle Carpenter and I reflect on body image, the toxic messages women receive from a young age, and how to gently dismantle the beliefs we inherited about how we're “supposed” to look. We talk about what it means to build a nourishing, sustainable relationship with your body—especially in surf culture, where expectations can be as rigid as they are outdated.From the pressure of "getting beach ready" to the insidious marketing of inclusivity in surf brands that still only reshare flat-stomached influencers, this one gets real. But it's also full of laughs, healing moments, and the powerful reminder that we get to redefine what it means to show up for ourselves—especially in a swimsuit.Whether you're navigating your own summer body thoughts or just need to hear two surf sisters keeping it honest and tender, this episode is for you.Main Themes:✨ In this episode we explore:The rule I live by: “Never go to war with your body”Why body neutrality might be more helpful than body positivityThe truth about surfing, endocrine health, and emotional weightHow women are marketed to—even by brands claiming to celebrate usWhy I stepped back from my surfwear line (and what that taught me)Resources:Surf Société Membership: Join The Surf Société with 7 days free.Shop Dip and get 15% OFF with the code "confessionsofasurflady" at checkout at Dipalready.comThe Surfing Copywriter: Learn more about his work at www.thesurfingcopywriter.com.How to Support the Podcast:

Why is it so fucking hard to get better at surfing? Unlike other sports, you don't get unlimited reps. Every wave is different, every session is unpredictable, and by the time you realize you wanted to do a turn or a cross-step—the moment is already gone.But what if you could train your surfing without even getting in the water? That's where visualization comes in. In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women's Surfing Podcast™, I'm breaking down how visualization works, the science behind it, and how you can use it to sharpen your skills, make faster decisions in the lineup, and actually land the maneuvers you've been struggling with—no matter how often you surf or what kind of waves you have access to.Inside The Surf Société, we've created a structured process for visualization so you can actually apply it to your surfing, with step-by-step guidance from sports mental trainer, Jana Fogaça. If you're ready to stop feeling stuck and start progressing faster than you thought possible, this episode is for you.Main ThemesWhy Surfing Progress is So Slow & Frustrating“In surfing, you don't get 100 reps. You're lucky if you get 10 waves in a session—and every one of them is different.” – Laura DayThe Science Behind Visualization & Why It Works“Your brain doesn't know the difference between real movement and imagined movement.” – Laura DayHow to Use Visualization for Surfing Progression“If you visualize a movement over and over again, your body will follow through when it's time.” – Laura DaySuccess Stories: How Surfers Are Using Visualization to Level Up“One of our Surf Société members visualized herself winning her first competition—and she did.” – Laura DayHow The Surf Société Teaches You Structured Visualization“We don't just tell you to visualize—we give you a process to make it work for you.” – Laura DayResourcesJoin The Surf Société – Learn how to use visualization to improve your surfing with structured guidance inside The Surf Société.

What happens when an injury keeps you out of the water for weeks—or even months? If you've ever been sidelined from surfing, you know how frustrating it can be, both physically and mentally. When I injured my knee in Baja, my biggest fear wasn't just missing surf—it was wondering if I'd ever feel 100% again.Enter Dr. Alexis Piarulli, chiropractor and movement specialist, who not only helped me rehab my injury but also shifted my mindset around healing, movement, and longevity in surfing. In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women's Surfing Podcast™, we talk about staying strong, preventing injuries, and overcoming fear after time out of the water. Plus, Alexis shares the small but powerful things you can do to keep surfing for years to come.Main Themes:The Fear of Long-Term Injury in Surfing: "My biggest fear wasn't just the injury—it was wondering if I'd always have a chronic issue.” – Laura DayHealing is Physical, But Also Mental: “Your mindset is the biggest factor in how well you heal.” – Dr. Alexis PiarulliHow to Surf for Decades Without Breaking Down: “I want to surf when I'm 80.

Have you ever thought, I should be better by now? You've been surfing for a while, putting in the time, watching YouTube tutorials, even getting in the water more—but something's just not clicking. You feel stuck, and no matter how much effort you put in, you're not progressing the way you want.I know that frustration because I've been there too. Surfing is unlike any other sport—you don't get endless reps, the conditions are always changing, and without the right feedback, you might just be reinforcing bad habits. I spent years feeling like I had plateaued, wondering why I wasn't improving, until I figured out what actually works.In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women's Surfing Podcast™, we talk about why progression in surfing is so difficult, the common mistakes that keep surfers stuck, and what actually makes a difference. Plus, I'll share how The Surf Société was born out of my own frustration—because I needed a place where I could get real feedback, guidance, and a community to help me progress. If you're tired of feeling stuck, this episode is for you.Main ThemesWhy Surfing Progression is So Damn Hard“Surfing isn't like skating or snowboarding. You don't get unlimited reps. Every session is different, and you can't just practice the same maneuver 50 times in a row.” – Laura DayWhy YouTube & Instagram Advice Might Be Making It Worse“I'd get so hyped watching a tutorial—then I'd go out, and my wave looked nothing like the perfect, empty lineup in the video.” – Laura DayThe Myth That Surfing More = Getting Better“If you're just reinforcing the same bad habits, more water time isn't going to magically fix them.” – Laura DayThe Reality of In-Person Coaching (And Why It's Not Always the Answer)“I paid $250 for a coaching session, and the conditions were terrible.

"What would 10-year-old me do?” That exact question led Kim Merrikin, founder of @movefatgirl, to reconnect with the hobbies she'd tucked away as a young girl. After feeling fat-shamed out of sports, Kim ignored her interest in physical activities for decades, believing there wasn't a place for her in these spaces. But today, she's rewriting that story—pursuing surfing, hockey, and advocating for inclusivity in sports despite the severe lack of size diversity in available gear. Her journey is proof that sports and outdoor spaces are for everyone, no matter their body size.Kim's honesty and determination highlight both the barriers and beauty of getting back into sports, especially for women looking to surf and thrive in a world that often feels body-exclusive. If you've ever questioned where you fit in, her story will speak to you.In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady, the first women's surfing podcast, we chat with Kim about what it took to reclaim her athletic identity, the body stigma she's faced, and the frustration of finding gear that actually fits. Kim's candor is a breath of fresh air—she'll have you thinking twice about what “inclusivity” really means, and she encourages all of us to see the ocean (and any sport we love) as a place that's ours to enjoy no matter what size or shape you come in.Main Themes:Reclaiming Joy in Sports Despite Societal Barriers"What would 10-year-old me do?" became Kim's guiding question to reconnect with the sports and hobbies she loved but set aside. Her journey reveals the deep joy and confidence that come from reclaiming sports spaces as a plus-size woman and challenges the idea that only certain body types "belong" in these spaces.The Challenge of Gear Accessibility in SportsKim opens up about the lack of size-inclusive gear in the surfing and sports industries, sharing her frustrations in finding essential equipment, like wetsuits and hockey pads, in plus sizes. This conversation highlights the need for size diversity in gear to make sports more accessible for everyone.Body Neutrality and Creating an Inclusive Ocean SpaceMoving beyond body positivity, Kim talks about embracing body neutrality—focusing on what the body can do rather than how it looks. She encourages a view of the ocean and sports spaces as accessible to all, fostering a welcoming, inclusive environment for women of every shape and size.ResourcesFollow Kim: Get inspired by Kim's journey and advocacy for size inclusivity on Instagram at @movefatgirl.Shop Dip and get 15% OFF with the code "confessionsofasurflady" at checkout at Dipalready.comThe Surf Société: Join our surf sisterhood, where women of all shapes, sizes, and abilities come together to learn, grow, and thrive.

Do you ever tell yourself, “I'm just grateful to be out here,” when deep down, you're frustrated by how your sessions are going? That was me—not catching as many waves as I wanted, quietly comparing myself to others in the lineup, and telling myself it was okay to just enjoy the sunshine. But the truth was, I wanted more.In this episode, I'm sharing the moment I realized my “grateful” mindset was actually holding me back, the advice from Surf Société mentor Paul Spooner that completely changed my paddling technique, and how I started doubling my wave count in just one session. If you've been stuck in a cycle of shielding yourself from frustration instead of reaching for more, this is your reminder that it's okay to want more out of your surfing—and your sessions.Main Themes:Recognizing Limiting Mindsets:“I realized I was using gratitude to shield myself from disappointment, but deep down, I wanted more.” – Laura DayThe Power of Technique Over Fitness:“Don't ever let fitness be the reason you're not catching waves—it's all about technique.” – Paul SpoonerBalancing Gratitude with Ambition:“You can be grateful for your surf sessions and still want more.” – Laura DayResources:Join The Surf Société: Learn more, surf better, and live happy in our women's surfing community!

What if reconnecting with your feminine intuition could change the way you surf—and the way you live? What if aging, something that is so often feared, was seen as an opportunity to gather wisdom, redefine beauty, and deepen your connection to yourself and the ocean?This week, I'm stoked to welcome back Leah Donatiello—empowerment mentor, Surf Société Surf Guide, and founder of Reconnect Retreats. You might remember Leah from her episode, Debunking Diet Culture, or as a Nutrition Surf Guide in The Surf Société, where she taught us how to fuel our sessions and stay energized in the lineup. Now, through her Reconnect program, Leah's helping women tap into their intuition, embrace change, and live more aligned, fulfilling lives.In this episode of Confessions of a Surf Lady: The First Women's Surfing Podcast™, Leah and I dissect the power of reconnecting—to yourself, to surfing, and to the unique beauty of aging. We explore how surfing mirrors self-discovery, why redefining beauty is so important, and how to find joy in your evolution as a woman.If you've ever felt unsettled in life, stuck in your surf progress, or resistant to enjoying the process of aging, this conversation will remind you why every stage of life as a woman is worth celebrating.Main Themes:Surfing as a Teacher:“The ocean is a mirror—everything you feel, fear, or strive for will show up in the lineup.” – Leah DonatielloIntuition and Self-Discovery:“Your intuition isn't here to make you comfortable; it's here to tell you the truth.” – Leah DonatielloCommunity and Growth:"It's been really amazing to marry my love for surfing with helping women find themselves again. It feels like such a privilege to create spaces where women can feel supported, not just in their surfing but in their personal growth." – Leah DonatielloResources:Reconnect Retreats: Join Leah's transformative surf and yoga retreats for women ready to reconnect to themselves and the ocean.
