wellness with Alicia
Alicia (health coach, massage therapist, pilates instructor, meat head-hippie) explores a wide range of topics related to women's health, intuitive eating, exercise, life after sport, CrossFit, relationships, mindset, and a whole lot of random, yet seemingly important topics that distracts Alicia in her day to day life. Wellness with Alicia covers these topics in a thoughtful, exploratory, and sometimes comedic format. ie. owning and running a business, finding peace with food and exercise, her current favourite things, and why she can't start her day without a good cup of coffee. Whether it's deep diving into: Body Goals, Fitness Culture, Fat Loss, Health, Food Freedom, Pop Culture, the Dogma of Diet Culture and the Anti-Diet Movement, her love-hate relationship for social media, why she's not sure about having kids and moving to the suburbs, or talking about the ups and downs of starting and running a business as a solopreneur. Alicia aims to talk about heavy topics, light topics, share her own lived experiences, while acknowledging that as someone in her mid 30's, she has a lot to share (so many thoughts, so little time) and a lot to learn! Beyond these topics, Alicia is also a Registered Massage Therapist, Pilates instructor, and has her own online Health Coaching business (Wellness with Alicia) helping women build their physiques without extremes. You can expect Alicia to share her honest struggles as a mid-30-something living in Vancouver, and topics that are taking up way too much brain space. Alicia hopes to bring something a little different to the health and fitness spaces. By speaking about these topics in a unique, conversational, and sometimes humorous way, she hopes to offer up value, provide some education, and perhaps a different point of view.

compensating for winter inactivity with less calories, part-time tracking, family boundaries, & home workout hacks
In this week's episode, I'm recapping my long weekend, American Thanksgiving, making friendship bracelets, selling items before our move, and answering your questions!
Q: "What songs do you hope are NOT your surprise songs at the Eras Tour?!"
Q: "should you lower calories in winter months to make up for less activity and steps?"
Q: "It was recently suggested to me to start by tracking 3-4 days out of the week instead of all 7 to avoid feeling overwhelmed (at maintenance calories). If I do this but “blow” my nutrition the other days, does that do any good?"
Q: "What’s the best way to handle unsolicited advice from family about your life? I'm 32, single, no kids, don't own a home, and my family always has something to say, help!"
Q: "If you are working out from home and only have dumbbells up to 30 lbs, how can you progress? Is going for higher reps a good strategy?"
