The Pretty Truth Podcast

❤️I WANT THIS TO WORK❤️

We had the pleasure of interviewing Liz Earnshaw, known on Instagram as @lizlistens , about her new book, her work with couples, and how we are all human and change is hard! She is a wealth of knowledge and compassion and we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!

We interviewed Art Markman, PhD and Dr. bob Duke from K*T Austin’s 2 Guys on Your Head podcast! It was so fun and funny and insightful! Enjoy!

Two Guys On Your Head!!! 🙌🏼

We were so delighted to interview Dr. Art Markman and Dr. Bob Duke from the podcast "Two Guys On Your Head" on Austin's NPR station, K*T!

They describe habits as constellations of memory and we talk about how to rewire neural pathways. We also discuss the difference and utility of guilt vs. shame. And do not miss out on the talk about raccoon fights. 🦝

MEDS + MEDITATION 💊✨

This is a long overdue episode about taking meds for anxiety and depression.

Jess opens up about her lifelong struggle with anxiety and why she finally decided to try something different. Because sometimes all the yoga, meditation, therapy, healthy foods and supplements aren’t enough.

*If anyone wants to chat with Jess about this feel free to slide into our DMs.*

*RE-RELEASE*

We had the pleasure of interviewing Jim Rigby, the pastor of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. He is a progressive thinker in theology, a social activist, and a brilliant writer. We really enjoyed diving deep into ideas of religion, the ability to question the patriarchy and capitalism, and how to love and support one another as we travel through this life!

Embodied Pilates 🌿

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of chatting with @maipilates about her journey into pilates and how she felt there was something missing from basic classes. She has created one on one and group virtual classes that not only get you into shape, they get you grounded into your body. With breath cues and her radiant positivity you can't help but feel better after a class with her!

🌱Maya is launching a set of new online classes at a lower price point so that more people can have access to a weekly practice. No matter what step of your fitness journey you are on, she's ready to help you heal and foster intentional movement.

Self care is a buzzword but what does it actually mean?

How can we have more compassion for ourselves?

Set boundaries we need to set?

What if we don’t know where to start?

In our latest episode, we talk with Jenny Re*****on about real-world self care and how it shifts often (sometimes hourly) and is definitely not a competition.

✨Jenny is a professionally trained and certified coach and has empowered hundreds of professionals, entrepreneurs, and parents to reignite their careers, discover their paths, or realign their life.

SALAD WITH A SIDE OF FRIES 💪🔥

Liz and I had the pleasure of speaking with @jenntrepeck
She is host of the @saladwithasideoffriespod and is knowledgeable in all things nutrition!

We learn so much about nutrition and “calories in/calories out”.

We also both get really honest about our food and body image issues.

I am fairly certain that we aren’t the only ones going down the rabbit hole of emotions related to food, working out and our bodies.

If you still have questions after this episode, hang tight because we are releasing part ✌🏼 next week!

BREATHING THROUGH HEARTACHE

Have you ever been heartbroken? 💔

It's one of those annoying parts of life that help us grow but suck so so bad.

Gurudhan leads in this episode as he knows that balancing the heart and disciplining the mind are key to healing.

Thank goodness for best friends, therapists, and yogis to help us during the sh*ttiest of times when deep breathing feels like an impossibility!

Our hearts always feel better after speaking with Gurudhan and we hope that yours feel full after listening! ❤️

Really important listen

A soft place to land. 💗

After experiencing trauma it’s so important to be able to talk to someone that truly understands your situation.

It can even be life changing.

We talk with Deepika Modali, a devoted activist who has dedicated her life to advocating for survivors. Currently, she is the Manager of Sexual Violence and Intake Services at the Asian Family Support Services of Austin, which provides cultural and language-specific direct services and advocacy to survivors of domestic, sexual, and trafficking violence in the Asian Pacific Islander and immigrant communities. She has been part of the social justice field for the past 10 years in Texas and is currently part of   TAASA's Survivor Advisory Board, a group of survivors working with the Governor's office to provide recommendations and support to sexual assault survivors across the state.

We adore Deepika and are so proud of the work she and her colleagues are doing! So much gratitude for her!
