In this episode, Lesley Bean makes her long-awaited return!

Luce shares some personal reflections on their recent move back home, and how sometimes taking a step back is exactly what you need to move forwards.

We chat about our recent trip to the Scotland Vegan Festival - Toria’s first proper vegan event - and the conversations it sparked about food, joy and intentionality. Toria opens up about losing her spark around meals and how easy it is to fall into the trap of treating nutrition as an afterthought, something so many people (especially busy, burnt-out professionals) can relate to.

We also talk about fuelling properly for training, and why under-eating isn't just a performance issue... it's a quality of life one.

In part two, we respond to some recent negativity around our message, and address the assumptions many coaches make about what fitness should look like.

We also dive into why sexuality, gender identity, trauma, and neurodivergence shape our experience of the gym, and why good coaching has to be about more than macros and reps.

In this episode of Vegains & Vagitarians, we get into the chaos of everyday life... the kind of small, stupid stuff that can derail your energy, routines and vibe.

Luce talks about the low-level anxiety that comes with navigating change (even when it’s small), the comfort of familiar rituals and how the most basic disruptions can hit harder when you’re neurodivergent.

We also explore: – Creating your own energy vs just waiting for motivation to arrive – Adapting your routines without spiralling – How we lead, coach and support others while dealing with our own stuff – The long, messy process of shifting from compulsion to compassion

It’s a very “meeting yourself where you’re at” kind of episode... with a bit of burnout, a bit of self-reflection and most certainly some caffeine.

This week’s episode covers a lot... because when you’re neurodivergent, queer and vegan, it kind of always does.

We chat about Toria’s return to rugby (again), Luce’s ongoing journey to get literally anyone in healthcare to take their symptoms seriously, and why “it’s probably just your iron levels” doesn’t cut it.

We also get into: – The slow, necessary death of grind culture – The links between neurodivergence, queerness and ethical living – Why we’re not going to Pride this year – And what it means to carve out safe spaces when the world isn’t built for your body or identity

Expect tangents, swearing, heartfelt moments and a healthy dose of “what the fuck is going on??”
