What do Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and the “10,000 steps a day” rule have in common? They’re all a little mysterious… and maybe a bit made up.

In this solo episode, personal trainer Tara breaks down the truth behind the 10K steps myth and shares what the research actually says about how many steps you need for better health. Spoiler: it’s not as much as you’ve been told.

In this episode:

• Why the 10,000-step target isn’t rooted in science
• What studies show about how fewer steps still create massive health benefits
• The real number of daily steps that make a difference
• Easy, creative ways to sneak in more movement (without hitting the gym)
• Why any movement is better than none—and how to make it count

Whether you’re a weekend walker, a desk dweller, or a step-count queen, this episode will leave you feeling encouraged, informed, and totally seen.

“You should listen to your body” — but what does that actually mean?

In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most common (and confusing) pieces of advice in the intuitive eating space: how to actually understand how food makes you feel. If you’ve ever thought, “I want to listen to my body… but I have no idea what I’m listening for,” this one’s for you.

We walk through the real-life barriers that block us from tuning in — like busyness, distraction, diet rules, and self-worth — and then guide you through simple ways to reconnect with your internal cues. From digestive reactions to emotional responses, energy levels to satisfaction, we cover the full spectrum of physical and mental signals your body gives you after eating.

In this episode:

• How to check in with simple prompts like “pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral?”
• What to notice beyond fullness: energy, mood, digestion, and more
• How to move from food rules to body trust
• Real-life examples (including some funny ones!) of how tuning in changes everything

Whether you're just starting your intuitive eating journey or want to deepen your connection to your body, this episode will give you practical tools and new perspectives to explore.
