Sometimes the hardest part of movement is simply starting, and this week we’re getting into the obsession in all its forms 🏃‍♀️💪🧘‍♀️🚲

In this episode, Lavinia and Chanelle are joined by their gorgeous friend Mel for a real, energizing conversation about moving our bodies, not for perfection, but for strength, structure, healing, confidence, and joy.

From running through grief and heartbreak, to strength training as a mental reset, to Pilates as a lifeline, we unpack how movement becomes so much more than exercise. It becomes self-trust. Community. A way back to yourself.

Expect laughs, honest shares, and the kind of best-friend encouragement that makes you want to put your workout clothes on… even if you don’t feel like it yet.

In this episode, we cover:

• Finding your movement obsession (and why it doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s)
• Mel’s running journey and how it helped her through loss, grief, and reinvention
• How Lavinia became her own coach, using strength training as discipline, empowerment, and a way to rebuild confidence
• Chanelle’s Pilates obsession and why classes + structure keep her consistent
• The “future self” mindset: why you never regret moving your body
• Motivation vs. grace: when to push, when to rest, and how to avoid injury
• Trying things again as you grow, even if you “hated it” the first time

If movement has ever felt like a chore, a source of pressure, or something you “should” do then this episode is your reminder that it can also be a release… and you’re allowed to find what feels good for you.

It’s our music episode - and we’re fully in our nostalgic feels. Chanelle and Lavinia are diving into the artists, albums, and eras that shaped us, soundtracked our lives, and still bring instant joy.

From Mariah Carey anthems to peak-teenage devotion to the Backstreet Boys, we’re talking about why music hits so deeply - the memories it unlocks, the moments it takes us back to, and how certain songs can instantly change your mood.

This episode is fun, uplifting, and a love letter to the joy of being obsessed with music - no matter your age, era, or playlist vibe.

🎧 Press play, reminisce with us, and maybe even queue up an old favorite after.

Because some songs don’t just play - they take you somewhere. 💿💖

Sometimes life doesn’t need a full overhaul, it just needs a reset 🔄

In The Reset Episode, hosts Lavinia and Chanelle unpack what it means to reset your mindset, routines, relationships, and expectations of yourself.

This episode is a candid bestie catch-up that moves from everyday mini-resets to the big life ones: moving cities, changing environments, navigating mental health, and learning when it’s time to pause, reflect, and start again without guilt.

We talk about why resets don’t have to wait for January, how to recognize when you need one, and why some of the most powerful resets are quiet mindset shifts, not dramatic changes. Expect honest reflections, relatable tangents (dogs, decaf coffee, Pilates soreness, press-on nails), and plenty of laughs.

In this episode, we cover:

• What a “reset” really is for us (and why it’s not the same as starting over)
• Signs you need a reset, mentally, emotionally, and physically
• Resets during anxiety/depression + emotional regulation
• Small habits and weekly check-ins that keep you grounded
• Positive resets: new homes, new cities, new seasons of life
• Why resets can be flexible, reversible, and not permanent

✨ Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of depression, anxiety, and emotional regulation. Please listen with care and skip ahead if needed.

If you’re feeling stuck or craving a fresh start, this is your reminder: you can reset anytime.
