How spin class taught me about active recovery, why getting stronger doesn’t mean things get easier, and what that has to do with emotional Self-care.

I talk about Recovery a lot as a Self-care practice: Recovery is the ongoing practice of identifying your needs, then taking the necessary actions to meet them and fill your cup.

When we think about recovery, the first thing that comes to mind is usually rest in the form of sleep, naps, massages, hot baths or showers, meditation, i.e. activities that require you to stop and be still.

But. 

I have two kids and two dogs who also have needs and are my responsibility. There are times that I need recovery time, but they also need my attention and it’s hard to navigate those competing needs, especially because they are constantly fluctuating.

Sometimes we can’t stop all the way to recover… and sometimes, we actually don’t need to.

It’s so helpful when I can tune into my inner environment and figure out the kind of recovery I need to regulate and get back to being my best Self. That's why this episode is about active recovery -- so that you can learn to tell the difference between needing to stop, or just slow down.

Active Recovery | When It Doesn't Get Easier But You Get Stronger [ TFF ]

Could we BE any more excited?! Mallory and Justine get right into it with the first episode of The Tortured Poets Podcast: track predictions.

After eagerly anticipating the announcement of Rep TV, the girls were shooketh when Dr. T A Swift announced her 11th album at the Grammy's. Mallory immediately called Justine to share the news, and they knew it was time to take their years of easter egg hunting, persistent clowning, and dedicated study of Taylor Swift to the general public: The Tortured Poets Podcast was born.

The first episode is all about predictions for TTPD, including potential digs at yogurt boy, the origins of "Down Bad" and "Clara Bow", plus hopes and dreams for tracks to come. 

This show's for the Swifties -- let's go down the rabbithole together!

I closed up shop as an RMT in 2017 to focus on my content marketing business + raising a family, and it's been pretty awesome. (And sometimes awful.) These days I'm a writer, coach, mom, and I'm making a return to the podcast scene. 

Keep your eyes peeled + your ears open to find out what I've been up to for the past... 6 years... and what's next! 👀
