This episode is moving - a story about resilience after a miscarriage & knowing how to get back on your feet and what to do when society doesn’t talk about it. Lala said - “OK society, I’ll vlog my story then.”
Perspective & finding your way - the themes of this amazing, super fun & super deep episode with Lala Montero - a friend & fellow creator. Key words that come to mind are: mindset, healing, shifting your attitude, resilience, transformation, & listening to your body, in today's episode. With so much outlook, comes challenges that taught Lala HUGE life lessons.
No one pictures that when it is “time” to have babies, that is going to be hard. Why is it so easy for everyone else?
No one pictures losing their job and not knowing what to do. What do I do now?
No one pictures having underlying health issues that cause creating a life to be difficult. I had no idea I was sick?
No one pictures themselves having to face their mental battles AFTER healing their physical body. I don't want to look in the mirror.
I cannot wait for you to hear this amazing episode - P.S. we have a TON of laughs in today’s episode, too! Don’t mind our vinegar water LOL. Life is all about the downs and the ups - and how to navigate. CALL SYD is a call in about a BOYYYYYY who ghosts a few days….Just to let her know he wasn't ghosting. LMK what you think!

Here’s what’s in for health… drinking less, zone 2 cardio, grocery lists, me time, bedtime alarms, supplements, and STRESS MANAGEMENT. Today is a little heart to heart with you on where I’ve been at. I have put off getting my ish together for a while now, but I am diving head first back in to get my stress and health on track.
It is a healthy girl era and we are living for the “boring” title that we may have given ourselves. That is just what comes with growth!!!!! I spill on why my Sundays are EVERYTHING to set me up for success that week. Why mornings don’t need to be speedy, why I believe in the supplements I take, and why I am saying NOOOO in this era.

Lyndsey Fraser is back - A certified marriage and family therapist and certified sex therapist.
From Straight Candid to Well Said, Lyndsey is coming back to share what we should be paying attention to when it comes to our sex lives.
Lyndsey speaks about the most common reasons she sees couples - Desire discrepancy, needing more foreplay, and meeting the needs of your partner BEFORE sex is on the table. How do we communicate our needs in our sex lives? How do we have confidence to initiate? What if I am feeling too stressed/low drive/too much pressure leading up to the moment?
Lyndsey answers a TON of CALL SYD advice asking about long distance sex lives, intimacy imbalances, and how else to spice things up - outside of the bedroom! It isn’t always about what happens there, but what happens BEFORE. Lyndsey is amazing & I cannot wait for you to hear this episode!!!!

Maria Marlowe, holistic nutritionist, is on Well Said this week's episode on relationship with HEALTH - in particular, your relationship with your SKIN. Maria struggled with acne, turning to medications & scrubs, wondering WHY she couldn't clear her skin. She talks this week about the skin's connection to your GUT HEALTH. Your acne is no coincidence.
Biggest shock for me?? The flaring of skin during my period DOESN'T HAVE TO BE NORMAL!!!!!! Aka hormone acne doesn't need to be the WHY.
What foods CLEAR your skin? When do I know if it is my gut causing me my acne? How do I clear it? What food should I remove? Are there such things as bad food combinations for acne? Do scrubs help? Do I need to go dairy free? Is my pillow breaking me out?
GIRLIES - let's get our gut right so we can get our SKIN right!!!!
