Treat Yo Health

Claire is back! In this episode we talk about how hygiene in the other realms of health (physical, mental/emotional, financial, etc) affect the health of your relationships.  Claire talks about how self work and maintaining your identity as a solo person who's separate from the relationship, help the relationship stay strong and shares an interesting perspective on the word crazy and what that means to her.

In episode 2 of our relational health book "Why You're Not Married… Yet" by Tracy McMillan, we get into chapters 4-6:

You're Crazy is really about the drama and intensity you bring to relationships because of fear of intimacy, fear of being exposed, or a dependency on that relationship. You're Selfish is really about you being immature and living in YOUR emotions and YOUR feelings all of the time. You're a Mess is about you lying to yourself, others, and hiding major issues rather than dealing with them.

This episode slaps! There's a ton of fun sound bites and some good music too, kick back, learn some stuff, and Treat Yo Health!

In this episode we begin our dive in relational health with the book "Why You're Not Married… Yet" by Tracy McMillan. This book is less about getting married and more about the bullshit that you're bringing to relationships that may be screwing them up for you.

In this episode we cover chapters 1-3 which are:

This episode gets real deep and real personal, but if you're willing to be open to humble yourself then you can learn a ton.

I have my friend Claire Gould @getclairified.com on the show this month to talk about partnership and marriage. Claire and her partner AJ have navigated multiple cross-country moves, periods of having a long-distance relationship, and many other challenges in their 10+ year relationship.

This is a great show if you're partnered and are interested in learning tips on different ways to think about your relationship or if you're single and looking for a view from the inside, so to speak. We talk about how Claire navigated the change, how they facilitate communication in their relationship, tools they've learned from couples therapy and why therapy is useful for "happy" couples, her and her husband's annual "state of our union" meeting, and how learning from "non traditional" relationships has lent to the health and creativity of her own traditional marriage.

I'm a single male who's never been married so my view of relationships is limited to just that. So I wanted to share a voice with you to show the other side of relationships, once you've found that person you want to share your life with. Dating isn't over once you tie the knot, your path down relationships is just beginning!

I ask her how she feels about recommending working out 6x a week, she brings up the topic of stress threshold, we talk about her morning routine, and her passion for and advocacy of strength training as a woman. We laugh a lot and get a good deal of goofing around in while dropping nuggets of wisdom left and right. This episode is a great way to wrap up our month on the physical health realm.

On episode 3 of our month of Physical Health we welcome my good friend Anna Clausen Williams to the show! Anna is a local health professional in the Seattle Area, focused on strength training at any size and helps her clients build strength and confidence in their bodies while building healthy relationships with food and exercise. 

On Today's show we talk about how her acting career lead to a bad relationship with her body image, how fitness helped her find her strength and confidence, and how she's leveraged her experiences to help others normalize their experiences with their bodies.

Correction: 

"70% of our long term health outcomes (not weight expression) are things not directly in our control including DNA"

In this follow up episode to our book "Younger Next Year" we go through chapters 10 - 21 to finish out the book summary. We talk about why you should incorporate strength training in your life, talk a little bit about eating crap, make the connection between deep interpersonal connections and longevity, and talk about Mr. Nasty Time. It's a fun conclusion to our Physical Health book for the season and drops some more good motivation for you to Treat Yo Health.
