• Victoria shares a regret about shaving her bikini line!
  • More accurately, she shares a lesson from her doctor. She recently went to the OBGYN to look at some swelling. When going over the checklist of what she should be doing; she was surprised that shaving her bikini line was one of the things she should avoid.
  • So, with that, as a 43-year-old woman, she had her first wax!

Although Shadoe and Victoria adore hosting guests; this episode is just the two of them!

On this episode, they are both feeling upbeat and have lots of little updates! Topics range from TikTok hacks, having a cooking portfolio, and that weird thing that happens when your favourite food becomes something you can't even look at anymore.

During the regrets segment, Victoria shares that she is still working on her habit of giving unsolicited advice. This leads to a conversation about how to carefully give advice and the complexities around helpful gestures.

Shadoe then shares that she regrets trying to set up her friends. Platonically of course!

Something she heard a lot from people was "it's so hard to make friends as an adult", and, since she did not struggle with that, she was quick to try to use this skill. This leads to a conversation about control; and, further explores the impulse to give advice or 'solve the problem' instead of just listening.

Near the end of this episode, the hosts discovered another shared connection about their undergrad experience!

As always; we end the episode with three calming breaths.



PSST: Here are those two recipes Victoria shared that you may want to try at home!

PROTEIN PANCAKES
1 cup egg whites
1 cup greek yogurt OR cottage cheese OR skyr
1 cup oats
*blend all ingredients in a blender
**batter will be thinner than a typical pancake
***each pancake is approx 5g of protein
****recipe makes 20 pancakes

GF FUDGE
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup nut or seed butter
1/2 cup cacao powder
*melt in a pot on low heat
**add in maple syrup to taste (approx 1 tablespoon to 1.4 cup)
***pour into lined tupperware
****allow to solidify in the fridge

it is strongly recommended that you add your own twist to both of these recipes. For example, adding your favourite toppings like dried cranberries!

Ok, Byeee, Meow!

On todays’ episode, we welcome Amanda Russo, a.k.a. The Breathing Goddess.

Amanda is a Breathwork Detox facilitator, transformative mindset coach, and host of the podcast “Manders Mindset”.

Her study of mindset and empowerment began by working with children in group homes and at daycares. She then worked in family law and helped people to deescalate the challenging circumstances and emotions of divorce. During this time she also overcame her own weight and health challenges through a combination of strength training, meditation, yoga, reiki, and plant medicine.

She works with moms and men. Moms who feel like they are running on fumes and want to become more attuned to her body, breath, and needs. Men who are stressed and want to understand their mind, body, and the power of their breath.

Amanda brings a fun, friendly, and empowering energy to her sessions, but she can also crack the whip. After just a few sessions her clients experience more calmness, clarity, level-headedness, and have a glow about them. They learn to love their bodies and effectively cope with emotions. They become peaceful and all their relationships benefit. They become the best version of themselves.

She lives in Dartmouth, MA and holds sessions virtually and in person in Swansea, MA. She travels New England holding breathwork events at yoga studios and runs a group program called “Breath & Flex” that combines Breathwork Detox with circuit training fitness classes. She also runs a program for couples who want to create more love and harmony within themselves and the relationship.

Outside of work she enjoys lifting, walking, movement, yoga, listening to podcasts, animals, and nature.

As always, we start with our Check-Ins and Cause for Applause.
This time, that includes being gentle with ourselves.

We also chatted about RSD (Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria) , spring gardening and Amanda's upcoming trip to Bali!

To skip the check-in and get right to the regrets segment, please tune in at 11:05.

During the regret segments, Shadoe opens up about being fearful of recording video content.

During feedback, she compares this fear to not being able to jump off a diving board! Victoria and Amanda share some great strategies to get over this; and we make all kinds of "dive"-ing related puns!

Then, Amanda opens up about a first date that led to a car accident and waking up handcuffed to a hospital bed.

During feedback, we discuss the stress leading up to this accident as well as the frightening aftermath. Amanda takes ownership of her mistake and leads us through how this accident changed her entire life!

As always, we end the episode with 3 breaths.
This season, the breaths are about abundance!

Thank you to our guest, Amanda Russo.

During the regrets segment, Shadoe opens up about admiring cynicism and judging happy people.

This leads to a conversation about how people that feel like misfits can sometimes use cynicism as a shield as well as a way to attack others.

We also discussed the movie Mean Girls, personality assessments and the 'knowledge of knowledge.

Then, Emily opens up about financial regrets; mainly around not taking the advice she received at a young age. She strongly believed in her marriage and had hope that contributing to her husbands retirement funds would be the best choice.

This leads to a conversation about the shame that surrounds money in the first place, including separate finances, judging our friends and that invincible feeling of "that will not be me."

On the positive side, Emily is excited to move forward with her business. She is able to lead through ambiguity. Sometimes, starting over is exactly what we need, especially if it feels scary!

As always, we end the episode with 3 breaths. This season, the breaths are about abundance!
