The Season We’re In

I Guess we’re Podcasters Now

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2568096/fan_mail/new] We started this podcast with a few microphones, a lot of curiosity, and a vague idea of what we thought this might become. Now somehow… we’ve finished an entire season. In this episode, we’re reflecting on everything we learned along the way, about podcasting, wellness, creativity, friendship, ourselves, and each other. We talk about what surprised us, what felt easier (or harder) than expected, the moments that stuck with us, and what it’s actually like to build something new with people you trust. We also get into what’s next: future guests, dream conversations, ideas we’re excited to explore, and the direction we hope Softcore Wellness continues to grow. A little reflective, a little chaotic, very grateful. Welcome to Softcore Wellness Ep. 9: I Guess We’re Podcasters Now 🤍

We got cracked!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2568096/fan_mail/new] In this episode, we’re taking you inside our visit to the chiropractor — from first-time nerves to full-on adjustments. For one of us, it was a brand new experience (yes, there was hesitation… yes, it happened anyway). For the other, it’s part of an ongoing routine, complete with things like shockwave therapy and a deeper understanding of how the body holds tension. We talk about what surprised us, what actually felt good, what we learned, and how it shifted the way we think about caring for our bodies — not just when something’s wrong, but as part of ongoing wellness. Plus, an unexpected deep dive into vibration plates and the small things that can support your body in everyday life. It’s honest, a little funny, and a reminder that taking care of yourself doesn’t always look the same — sometimes it looks like trying something new, asking questions, and letting yourself be taken care of. Watch or listen now. 🤍

The Season We’re In

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2568096/fan_mail/new] In this episode of Softcore Wellness, we’re talking about routines, the ones we love, the ones we resist, and the ones we’re currently trying to figure out. We get into our real-life routines across everything: mornings, nights, food, movement, mental health, and the small, specific things that make up our day-to-day (including the not-so-glamorous ones). This isn’t a “perfect routine” conversation. It’s an honest look at what’s working for us right now, what isn’t, what we’ve tried before, and what we’re still navigating. Because routines aren’t static, they shift with your life, your energy, and the season you’re in. This episode is less about giving you a blueprint, and more about opening up the conversation: What does support actually look like for you right now?

What Even Is Functional Medicine?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2568096/fan_mail/new] In this episode of Softcore Wellness, we’re diving into the world of functional medicine — what it is, how it works, and why so many people are turning to it for a more personalized approach to their health. We’re joined by a functional medicine PA who walks us through how this model looks at the body as an interconnected system, rather than a set of isolated symptoms. We talk about the kinds of testing often used in functional medicine, how practitioners “connect the dots,” and why two people with the same symptoms might need completely different approaches to care. This conversation is especially relevant if you’ve ever felt like something is “off” but haven’t gotten clear answers — or if you’re looking to better understand your body and optimize your health in a more holistic, individualized way. We also explore how functional medicine can work alongside your existing care team, including primary care providers and specialists, to create a more complete picture of your health.

Bodies Like Ours

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2568096/fan_mail/new] In this episode of Softcore Wellness, we’re celebrating Women’s History Month by taking a look at the history of women’s health — and how far we’ve come (and how far we still have to go). From periods and period products to sports bras, medical research, and the ways women have had to advocate for their own care, we explore some of the milestones that have shaped the way women experience health and wellness today. We also talk about something deeply personal: learning to listen to our bodies. For generations, women were often told to ignore their symptoms, push through pain, or accept discomfort as normal. Reclaiming trust in our bodies can be a powerful act of self-awareness and self-care. This conversation moves between history, personal experience, and curiosity about what it means to live in — and care for — bodies like ours.
