At a time when it’s easy to be over focused on how we are stretching out of our sweatpants

that once were baggy, we push ourselves out of comfort zones and into meaningful soul

projects, back bends, and handstands. Dena gives her professional overview and comments

on the new 2026 Dietary Guidelines including fiber, protein, fats, ultra-processed foods, and

alcohol which leads us to glance at the art of behavior change. Dena inquires about the

current popularity of pilates; Theresa shares her experience and perspectives on movement,

and how she crafts her guidance of clients using pilates and other modalities. We finish with

challenges for our listeners that range from eating veggies, using words as nourishment (or

not!), swearing superpowers (or not!), and rules versus trust and honoring our bodies when it

comes to eating.

Pro Tip: Go into the day knowing what you’ll eat!

We are thrilled to have you join us for our first episode! We begin with laughter—the foundation

of our friendship, and touching on the realities of change and power of entering our 50’s within

the midst of perimenopause. Theresa delves into Dena’s career shifts and challenges with

teenagers. We steer listeners into reflections on parenting while on the cusp of an all-AI world.
