As usual during Your Friendship Hour, we are all over the place...be sure to listen/watch all the way through as we weave our way through multiple conversations, drop some pretty epic nuggets and of course have some pretty funny moments, share the struggle of finding our groove and the plans we have for the winter to try to stay out of the winter blues!!! We also want to start a Women's Wild Wednesday Walking group!! lf you are local to us, please reach out on Instagram @thekimandkathshow.

Finally!!! After months away from podcasting, we are back!!! We took some time off over the summer (not of our friendship...LOL) but time to be present for what the summer had in store...and boy oh boy, summer did not disappoint...but as always, there were some ups and downs for both of us. From the unexpected death of Kim's mother to Kathie's new athletic endeavours, we take you on a quick little (ok, not so quick) journey through our summer and a sneak peak to some Fall fun!!!

Today we are joined by special guest...Jenn Salib Huber! She is a Canadian Registered Dietitian, Naturopathic Doctor, and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and she's on a mission to help women manage menopause without diets and food rules. She helps women navigate the physical and emotional changes that happen in perimenopause and menopause, including their search for food freedom and body confidence. Working from a health at every size approach, she teaches women to become intuitive eaters and build body confidence at any stage of midlife. In addition to her 1:1 and small group programs, she's the host of 'The Midlife Feast' podcast and community that helps women "undiet" their lives after 40 so they can nourish a relationship with food that helps them discover the magic of midlife! You do not want to miss this episode, regardless of your age! We cover what we wish we knew sooner, some of the science behind estrogen and its role in the body (its not just for periods and hot flashes), how diet culture sets us up for more than just "yo yo" dieting, the importance of muscle mass for aging, HRT and its role in managing symptoms and so much more. Thank you Jenn, for sharing with us and our audience! You can connect with her https://www.menopausenutritionist.ca/themidlifefeastcommunity

We celebrate as Kathie's book, The Hardest, not the Worst Year has officially launched and become a bestseller in many categories!! We dive deep into her experience and process during an extremely vulnerable time in her life. Kim shares some impactful moments from her read of the book, tears are shed, as are bursts of laughter, ADD moments, and how being bored is a challenge and a skill we are all trying to perfect!

Catching Up!

It's been over a month since we recorded a podcast...so grab a cup of coffee and settle in for good ole' girlfriends hour catch up!!! We touch on travelling abroad, stepping into next versions of self, embracing things we fear and all the squirrel trails that come up! And of course, we share the laughter and joy along the way!

We recorded this podcast LIVE inside of Felice Cafe, with audience members (followers, listeners, family & friends). It was so fun to meet some of our listeners, and to have them contribute to the conversations!!! It was an awkward start, but hang in there...it gets SOOOOO GOOD! We really dive into re inventing yourself, the fear of judgement and the pursuit of validation. And in a BAIT and SWITCH style, Kathie asks Kim to share how a diagnosis of breast cancer changed her identity... you don't want to miss this one! And of course, there are laughs along the way! Special thanks to Felice Cafe , Revolution Boutique, Interior Matters, Maraki Shoes and Wishes Cafe. These are all female founders/owners/run businesses located in Sherwood Park and Edmonton Alberta. And it was a fundraiser for Kaleo Collective - a not for profit organization that supports single moms and their children.

Its a Friday afternoon and we have spent that day together , which doesn't happen often...so the vibes are high, we are having a very small sip of wine and talking about embracing the current state of our fitness as well as taking some moments to claim moments of when we have been proud of ourselves for accomplishing enormous goals (outside of our family). We share a few proud moments, a lot of laughs and shenanigans and we would love to hear from you, what you are most proud of!

Today we get at it! Real talk about the impact of diet culture, body image, barriers to finding a new love from within, triggers in learning new health routines and what does it really mean to us to make our health a priority and what we are doing to make changes. We share our journeys in hopes it inspires and encourages you on yours!!!
