Summary

Welcome to the final week of this spring series on Women’s Wellness topics! Today, Leanne Benson flips the mic to interview ME to talk about my personal wellness journey. We gathered questions that many of you sent in via email and Instagram, and we’re covering a great range of topics!

Leanne opens with a chat about my book, The Secret of Your Naturally Skinny Friends, as Leanne calls it “the last diet book you’ll ever read!” J. Leanne asks how my approach to diet and nutrition has changed over the years, and what my workouts currently look like. I share how the “Thin Cycle” from my book can be applied to our mindset in all areas (including peri/menopause!)

Then Leanne goes into rapid fire Q&A’s, asking my thoughts on everything from Infrared lights to collagen, my latest go-to meals, and much more.

0:09.8	Hey friends, welcome back to the podcast, and I'm so excited to have a final episode here in our
0:15.4	All Things Women's Wellness series from the month of April.
0:19.6	I hope you've enjoyed all these episodes. I loved having a few
0:23.0	experts on in the first couple weeks of the month. And then the girlfriend chats to the last few weeks
0:27.4	have been really fun too. So if you've missed any, I hope you can go back and check them out.
0:32.1	But today, my friend, Leanne, who also works with me, suggested that we flip the mic and that she would ask me some
0:38.9	questions about my journey in women's wellness. She actually found me through my little self-published
0:44.8	book, The Secret of Your Naturally Skinny Friends. And she's also gotten to know me and, you know,
0:51.1	seeing how things have changed over the years and now that I'm in my perimenopause journey,
0:56.8	she thought it would be fun to get to share some of that. Now, some of these questions were taken
1:01.8	from all of you because I did an Instagram question box where I asked what you wanted to know.
1:08.3	And on the first and third Thursdays of each month, I share Q&As on
1:13.2	Instagram, and I do get a lot of questions related to all of this. So, Leanne and I talk a bit about
1:18.9	health, fitness, kind of my journey with the skinny friends topic. And then we go into rapid fire
1:24.7	Q&A. So I hope you enjoy. I'm pretty honest and vulnerable here. It makes
1:29.0	me a little bit shy, but I just went for it. So I hope you enjoy and are encouraged. We cover a lot,
1:35.4	but I hope you enjoy it. And this wraps up our women's wellness month. And we go into May,
1:41.0	well, tomorrow's May already, but we will be covering some of my favorite
1:45.2	things as we prepare for summer. So I think May is going to be really fun. Now, if you like today's
1:50.7	topic, I would sure appreciate it if you took a screenshot and shared it to social media. If you're
