Here's the deal. When we give too many shi^%s about too many things it can feel at best, overwhelming, and at it's worst anxiety inducing and paralyzing.
In today's episode, Michelle and Brad identify the reasons why we give a sh&^ and talk about how we can care about something without internalizing it in an unhealthy manner.
That's right. They're talking Taylor Swift! Take a listen to this fun episode where Michelle and Brad talk all about T Swizzle and what we can learn from her and her accomplishments.
Taylor Swift's extraordinary career has been the result of talent, diligence and belief. Brad and Michelle extract just a few of the lessons we can glean from her and talk about how we can apply those concepts to our own lives.
What exactly is intuition and do all of us have it? How do we recognize intuition in an overthinking mind? Should we always listen to our intuition?
We all know what intuition means but are we actually tapping into it and using it for our highest good? These are just few of the questions Brad & Michelle explore in today's episode about, you guessed it, intuition.

Does it ever seem like the work you're putting into your workouts doesn't line up with the results you're seeing? Does it ever feel like everyone else has all the time in the world to fit in a workout, except for you? Do you feel what once worked for your body is no longer effective?
If you answered, "yes" to any of those questions, this episode is for you. Michelle & Brad talk about how to move forward when you get into a workout rut. And don't worry, it's not just the same, "wake up earlier", "try harder" that we've become accustomed from hearing from the fitness industry. Instead, it's a realistic, approachable conversation on identifying what's not working, how to pivot and how to stay with it.
Do you ever feel like the messaging we hear in society doesn't align with the reality of what's actually happening in society? We're told not to stress, but live in a time where we're inundated with stressors. Mental health is an important topic, but are we actually practicing what we preach from the top down? And don't even get started with health and dieting messaging which can be full of conflicting narratives.
Join Michelle and Brad as they dissect this topic and talk about ways to evaluate outside messaging and distractions while practicing your own value system.

Inspired by Spring cleaning, Michelle & Brad chat about taking out the clutter. Physically and mentally. They discuss the various kinds of clutter that we constantly accumulate and the importance of removing it from our lives to be optimally present.
In personal updates, they also chat about the pitfalls of fitness trackers and Michelle's purpose with The Whole Smiths.
Today we have friend of Get Wellthy, Casper ter Kuile, back to talk about the art of connection, how to foster community in today's world and how "letting go" is intricately tied into spirituality.
You can find more information on his small group course, The Nearness, here. Make sure to follow Casper on Instagram to stay up to date with all of his work.
In today's episode, Brad and Michelle dissect the notion that today's woman can have it "all". A main theme that runs through the conversation is the discussion of what "all" actually means and the value of that needing to be able to vary by woman. Can every woman have all based on what that all is to them?
Do women have too much on their plate to effectively have it "all"? Is society currently structured in a way so that any woman can have whatever it is that they consider "all"?
We may not have the answers but let's get the discussion going.

They're BACK!
In this episode, Michelle and Brad chat all about how phone intrusions and urgency culture have gotten to be problematic. They explore how it can be impacting things like anxiety, productivity and more.
As well, Brad refuses to admit he's stubborn and Michelle discovers she's anemic and has a developing lisp??
What do you think about when you hear the word self-care? A 5 star resort? Or something more simplistic like an uninterrupted shower?
Over the last several years, the meaning of self-care in our culture has morphed. While bringing this idea to light has definitely helped some realize the need to slow down and fill their cups, it has also given others a warped sense of the phrase, leaving them to believe that they are undeserving or not in need of the “luxury” of self-care.
Today, we are diving into what true self-care is and why it’s essential for all of us. Not only will you leave this episode with a clear understanding of what self-care is, but you will walk away with tactical steps on how to begin identifying what you are currently lacking in the self-care realm.
Life is crazy, and in a world that encourages productivity over sanity, it’s easy to feel depleted. Taking care of yourself is not a luxury, it’s a basic human need.
