In this week's episode, Shauna shares some gentle self-reminders to help silence perfectionism when it feels like the world - and your inner voice - are making you feel like you aren't enough.

Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's effective - or safe!

In today's episode, host Shauna Jane dives into some popular nutrition trends with guest Lindsay Drew, a registered dietician who's also hypermobile and neurodivergent.

They talk about the root of these trends, what's accurate and what isn't, where nuance and diversity are severly lacking, and as always, how these trends are driven by our culture.

The 5am Club. Early morning sunlight. Cortisol-driven products. Ice baths for the face. Vibrating plates. Somatic shaking.

Are these early morning health wellness trends worth it?

In this episode, Shauna decodes some popular health and wellness trends related to sleep and somatics - more specifically, early morning routines.

She tells you the basics behind why they should work, why they may not work for you, and why you may want to avoid it all together - especially if you are not neurotypical and able-bodied.

The holiday season is officially upon us, which means the health & wellness industries are in a full-throttle push to make as much money as they can during their "busy season."

*Sigh...*

In this episode, Shauna reveals more of her mental and physical health journey before examining some of the roots and characteristics of a culture of ableism in the health, fitness, and wellness industries.

She ends the episode by outlining the direction of the next few episodes, which will cover specific "trendy" New Year's Resolutions trends and adjustments.
