Now that we’ve called out the lies, it’s time to talk about the whys—why those wellness myths never served us, and why it’s time to flip the script.

In Part 2, Teresa and Kristina break down the mindset shifts that helped them let go of unrealistic rules and toxic beliefs around health, fitness, and food. Instead of chasing perfection or punishing ourselves into “wellness,” we’re talking about how to build a life that actually feels good—and sustainable.

You’ll hear real tips we're using right now, honest reflections on what starting over looked like for us, and how you can create fresh, freeing habits without waiting for the “perfect time.” No more shame spirals. No more all-or-nothing thinking. Just a real, empowering way to start living your healthy life today.

We bought the gear. We followed the meal plans. We chased the "dream body." And somewhere along the way, we started believing every promise the fitness and diet industry sold us—and the ones we sold ourselves.

In this episode, Teresa and Kristina get honest about the biggest lies on health, fitness, and food—and how those beliefs shaped their self-worth, routines, and mindsets. From going overboard in the gym to "clean eating" obsessions, we’re unpacking the toxic narratives that so many of us have internalized.

This is not just about calling out the industry—it's about calling ourselves in. Tune in as we share the moments that woke us up, the shifts that finally felt freeing, and the honest truths we wish we knew sooner. Maybe you’ll hear something that sounds a little too familiar—and maybe, just maybe, it’s time to let go of a few lies too.
