Mikki and Jess dive deep into the emotional undercurrents that come with life’s transitions—graduations, birthdays, seasons, and roles that evolve with time. Jess opens up about the bittersweet feelings surrounding her son’s graduation, unearthing default narratives of “not being enough” that many listeners will relate to. Mikki offers thoughtful reflection and challenges those narratives with compassion and clarity. Together, they explore the power of naming emotions, re-writing internal scripts, and embracing new roles with self-compassion. Whether you're a parent, step-parent, or just someone feeling the weight of societal expectations, this is a timely conversation about presence, identity, and rewriting the story you tell yourself.

Highlights:

• How transitions can trigger deep, often subconscious, emotional patterns
• Naming and challenging default narratives of inadequacy
• Exposure to new thinking as a way to shift your mindset
• The difference between societal expectations and internal values
• The beauty and complexity of parenting and evolving relationships

In this deeply personal and powerfully honest episode, Mikki shares her experience running the 2024 Boston Marathon—and the unexpected controversy it sparked. She and Jess unpack the joy of running for the love of it, the backlash Mikki faced over her "unconventional" low-carb fuelling approach, and the resilience it took to stand firm in the face of public critique. This is more than a race recap—it’s a reflection on goals, growth, and the freedom to train, eat, and live in a way that aligns with your values. Whether you're an endurance athlete, a health professional, or someone navigating unsolicited opinions, this episode is for you.

Highlights:

• Mikki’s low-carb fuelling approach to the Boston Marathon
• Navigating online criticism and standing by your philosophy
• The difference between training to compete vs. training for joy
• Building metabolic flexibility and fuelling intuitively
• The power of owning your story—even when others try to rewrite it

In this episode, Mikki and Jess tackle the all-too-common spiral that follows a single day of overindulgence. Why do we instinctively jump to a five-day cleanse or punishment workout after one “off” day? They explore the physical and psychological reactions behind this pattern, debunk the myth that you can gain fat overnight, and offer practical reframes to stay on track. This conversation is packed with clear logic (hello, calorie maths!), protein truths, and permission to stop catastrophising. Whether it’s Easter chocolate or a Friday night pizza, Mikki and Jess remind us that it’s what you do most of the time that matters. Real talk, real strategies—and real protein shakes.
