EP 30 - Great Date-spectations -- Are We Ready for our Kids to Date? 20:53

לפני 7 ימים20:53

20:53

Send us a text Hey Flex Fam, This week we share a little snippet of the conversations that often happen behind the scenes...real and unfiltered conversations we have with or without the mics on. Last week we got into it about the dread of having our boys bring home girls we may not initially approve of. We also talk about how we hope to have prepared our boys to be wonderful men to the partners they one day choose. Finally we briefly discuss what being a 'cool mom' entails and share a warm story. Oh, and of course, we discuss Beyoncé tickets. It’s raw, honest, and full of laughs, just like every good Flex and the City episode. 🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube!

EP 29 - Call of Booty: Is the Fitness Industry Becoming Hyper-Sexualised? 59:10

לפני 14 ימים59:10

59:10

Send us a text Hey Flexy Fam, In this week's episode we discuss a topic that made some waves in the media recently following a post from popular Australian fitness influencer, Kayla Itsines. A link to an article on this controversial post is in the episode, but in a nutshell, Kayla came up against polarized opinions for raising an issue that we have likely come across at some point: the increase of sexualised fitness content, in particular, booty thirst traps. We discuss both sides of this topic and the grace that should be extended to those on both sides of the debate, whilst also weighing in on the responsibility to authenticity that rests on social media influencers' shoulders, in particular those in the health and fitness industry.

Send us a text Hey hey fam, We trust you had a great week and are moving on swiftly through the beauty, annoyance and/or whatever else Valentine's Day means to you! In this episode of Flex and the City, we discuss the importance of building a strong community--especially for women. Research shows that lack of a social support impacts both mental and physical health, leading to higher stress levels, anxiety, and even physical symptoms. We explore these fascinating findings a bit more and share practical tips on how to cultivate meaningful connections! 💬 Have you ever felt the impact of not having a supportive circle? Let’s talk about it! 🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review if this episode resonated with you! Enjoy! P.S.

EP 27 - Conversations We Can't Ignore | Flex and the City Podcast 35:37

35:37

Send us a text This episode is different. It’s raw, honest, and necessary. Lisa shares her personal experiences as a Black woman navigating racism—both in her own life and in raising biracial children. From feeling isolated in Munich to the realities her sons face at school, this is a conversation that needs to be heard. We dive into the difficult but crucial discussions that should happen within families and communities to ensure that racism isn’t ignored, dismissed, or brushed aside. Because avoiding the conversation only allows the cycle to continue. This episode might feel heavy, but these are the conversations that move us forward. Listen now, reflect, and let’s keep the conversation going. 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe for more real, unfiltered discussions on fitness, mindset, and life. #FlexAndTheCity #blackhistorymonth #podcast Follow us on Instagram: @flexandthecity__…

EP 26 - Does your EQ match your IQ? 52:52

לפני 5 weeks52:52

52:52

Send us a text Hey hey flex fam, We hope you've been keeping on top of the momentum you've set for your self-growth and holistic health goals this year, and for years to come. As we work through said growth process, this week we discuss the often referenced (and more often misused) topic of Emotional Intelligence (EI). We give you a brief background on studies behind this area as well as social aspects that deeply affect it (and in doing so, come to a staggering realisation about ourselves!) As always, we also talk about methods to better, broaden and boost your EI and keep that growth mindset...well...growing. Enjoy! Follow us on Instagram: @flexandthecity__…

EP 24 - From Equator to Snow: Surviving the Winter Blues & SAD 51:33

לפני 6 weeks51:33

51:33

Send us a text Hey Fam! In this episode, we’re talking all about the winter blues and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Because let’s be real, who doesn’t dream of sunshine like they have in Australia or Dubai when you’re stuck in the middle of a gloomy winter? And if you’ve ever thought about learning how to ski but have no clue what you’re doing (like us—one of us is from the equator, the other from the desert), this episode is for you! We’re diving deep into the difference between those winter blues and full-blown SAD, and trust us, you’ll want to know the difference—because one means you’re a little grumpy, the other might mean you need to seek professional help. From how the weather affects our mood to how we can get some light when there’s none to be found, we’ve got it covered. Plus, we talk about the magic of vitamin D and how supplementing can help. Winter can hit hard, especially for women. Understanding how SAD affects us is key to staying sane and feeling our best. So grab your favorite hot drink (and maybe a blanket) and tune in. Enjoy!

EP 23 - New Year, True Me 52:23

לפני 8 weeks52:23

52:23

Send us a text Happy New Year Fam! We sincerely hope you all had a wonderful entry into the new year and have continued on the growth journeys started in the last, and being loving and true to yourselves. In fact, this is one of the main topics of this week's episode: we 100% rebuke that 'new year, new me' energy and instead discuss ways to embrace a process of growth and consistent self-betterment: bite-sizing goals and exercising grace. We also discuss helpful thought-processes (and reprocessing, as the case may be), to help maintain consistency across fitness and personal goals when motivation just doesn't show up to the party.

Send us a text Hey Fam, As the year comes to a close, we talk about the lessons learned, those not quite honed, and the growth we hope to continue in the new year. We create accountability (between us and you guys too) by stating clearly our goals for personal growth in the new year and hope you share yours with us to in the comments. A happy new year to you all and thank you for stopping by our little pod to hear what we have to say -- looking forward to 2025. Follow us on Instagram: @flexandthecity__…

Send us a text Hey Flexy Fam, Here's to the last Friday of the year!

Send us a text Hello Flex Fam, This week we catch up on a few weeks of not seeing each other, and we talk about the importance of a supportive circle, especially when one is a foreigner in a place without family. In discussing our topic of the day, A Letter to My 18-Year Old Self, we once again reminisce on our college days and really delve into the women we recall we were at 18. What advice would we give her? What would we want to ask her? How do we see her, looking back many decades later? Share with us some of your thoughts about what you would say to your 18-year old self in the comments. Enjoy! Follow us on Instagram: @flexandthecity__…

EP 19 - Role Call 57:45

57:45

Send us a text Hey Flex Fam, Good to be back after a week off! This week we discuss (binary) gender roles as a social construct and talk about how they influence our relationships with one another and ourselves. We talk about how the happy housewife has morphed over the years into the corporate woman and further into the woman who does it all, perfectly. We give Martha Stewart her flowers in telling us the Uber-perfect persona is just that: a persona, unexpectedly revealing the badass businesswoman behind the baked goods! These and other stories...

1:10:06

Send us a text Hey Flexy Fam, We're back after a week off and had a little catch up session with stories of some great accomplishments in the last week and a poignant discussion on race and ethnicity. We also delve briefly into the challenges (and fears) relating to raising boys into respectful yet strong men, and then transition to our topic for the day: Drama Addiction. Are we replaying habits that tell us peace and tranquility cannot be trusted? Do we crave or seek drama and stress as distraction or avoidance? We discuss methods to identify these behaviours and some helpful methods to break those habits. Enjoy! Follow us on Instagram: @flexandthecity__…

Send us a text Hello Flexy Fam, This week we reminisce on a few high school memories and give some well-deserved credit to Gen-Z and their ability to 'just say no' to things that don't align with them -- leading us into our topic for the day: just saying no. We also discuss some of the reasons saying 'no' can be difficult, including the need to people-please, pressure to maintain imbalanced friendships, or the need to be simply...needed. Enjoy!
