2 Dumb Belles

Summer will be here in NO TIME! What fun stuff do you have planned? We have a few things we'll be doing over the summer and we're sharing our "bucket list" with you. Because Summer rolls in so fast and then LEAVES us just as quickly, now is a good time to start making plans! Unless, of course, your only goal is to survive working + momming (and the 17 million things that go along with both of thos...

Ladies, your favorite dumb belles have some KILLER nutrition tips for you today. For those of us, um, at a "certain age," maybe we're finding it challenging to keep the muscle mass that we used to have. Or maybe high cortisol levels are causing us to keep unwanted fluff around our tummies. Or maybe we just don't know what to do when it comes to consuming enough protein. And what about preventing b...

Three words: Piggly Ding Dong. Listen to the episode to understand. Also - broken bones, sprains, and other injuries! How many surgeries have we had?!? How many things have we broken? How did we not spiral during our injuries, and what did we do to stay active during recovery? Did we rest like we were supposed to? It's the hardest thing to do (that, and healthfully asking for help).  Also: Kate an...

We have CREEPY STORIES even though it's almost Spring and it's not anywhere close to spooky-season (though you should know that we both LOVE Fall so much).  Do you believe in UFOs? Do you believe in ghosts/paranormal stuff? Find out if we do, and listen as we share a couple of stories that freaked us out.  And we recorded our episode this week! You can find us on YouTube! We've been meaning to do...

Hey there Dumbbelles! Kate had skin cancer - find out how she discovered it, how she handled this health scare, how she resolved it, what her doctor and dermatologist did, and how she's doing now.  Lots of you listening probably used a tanning bed when you were younger - remember the Playboy bunny stickers? (Insert huge eye roll). It's so important to take care of your skin and get things checked...

It's a one-woman show today! Kate has been traveling for work, and has selfishly left me all by myself, so I'm telling all about how I recently (just in the past few weeks) started hormone replacement therapy and it has literally CHANGED MY LIFE. I am NOT saying that you should do this if you're having perimenopause symptoms; everyone is different and for some of you, the risks may not outweigh th...

Hi Dumbbelles! The news is HEAVY right now. So tune in for something light and fun! Find out what we're reading, and learn what books made it to our "best books of all time" list. We'll give a quick review of some of our favorites ("quick review" because neither of us can remember much once we're done!) and maybe some of these will make it to your "must read" list. Or maybe you've already read a f...

Hi there Dumb Belles! How clean is your home? There's a lot of discussion about "toxic" ingredients in our environment: candles, plug-ins, detergents, fabric softeners, and more. How can you make your home more "green?" We're discussing ways that we're improving our environment and trying our best to not poison our families and all of our visitors.  Which leads us to...dying! All these toxic house...

Hey there Dumb Belles! Today we're talking about all things Valentine's (well, GAL-entine's) Day! We're also discussing ways to keep our heads above water when it's COLD AND DARK AND BLAH in the great Midwest in February. Gross. We just want to be warm and see some sunshine!  Thank you for listening and as always, we would appreciate you sharing our Podcast with friends and family. You can find 2...

Hey dumbbelles! We feel like we've entered our "I don't give a %&#" era. Life is WAY TOO SHORT to care what people think, what they say, or what their opinion is. It's taken us both a long time to get to the place where we're unbothered by others. If you listen to the Mel Robbins podcast (she's amazing, by the way, you should really listen), she speaks about something she calls the "let them" theo...

Hey Dumbbelles! Have you ever thought about starting your own business? Or maybe you already do own your own business and you're in the thick of it. Either way, listen-in while Kate interviews Lindsay about her company, 10MoreSeconds. She does nutrition coaching, in-home strength training and Pilates reformer sessions, and even Corporate Wellness (which means going into businesses and helping crea...

Hey Dumbbelles! You know we love a conversation about aging and how to manage it in a healthful, productive way. Join us this week as we talk about some of our favorite skincare products to help the cause, as well as dietary choices we make that can benefit our skin and manage our body's inflammatory response.  We also discuss exciting topics including: bloating, GI issues, wine, caffeine, sodas,...

Settle in, Dumbbelles, this is a good one.  Kate decided last year to begin a weight loss regimine that included a GLP-1 (a popular weight loss medication) and we decided to do a little interview with her about all the things that she experienced while taking this medication. Plus: how long did she take it? Is she still taking it? How much did she lose? What was the cost? And plenty more details,...

It's 2025, Dumbbelles! We took a little time off over the holidays, but we're back to talk about the new year: our goals, our "word" for the new year, resolutions (or lack thereof), ways we want to be better and do better in 2025, and lots more.  Thank you for listening, and let's raise a glass to lots of fun conversations together in the new year. As always, thank you for listening, and be sure t...

Happy Holidays, Dumbbelles! We're talking Christmas, New Years, and a recap of 2024. Plus, we're ending it with some randomness that we think you'll really enjoy, including our biggest fears and the "joys" of dog ownership.  We're taking off the week of Christmas, so we'll see you all in the New Year! We have some hilarious and relatable episodes on-tap and we can't wait to see you all in 2025.  H...

Seasons Greetings, Dumbbelles! Lindsay and Kate are both pretty darn healthy: BUT, we're also normal human ladies, and we have each compiled a list of our top three guilty pleasures. Feel free to judge us. We are more gross than you may have given us credit for! Listen and see if any of YOUR top three favorite unhealthy things have made it onto our lists! Also, thank you ALL for listening to our p...

Happy December, Dumbbelles! Today we're talking about all things aging: how our boobies change and our bodies change, along with our skin, our hair, and even our hands (start moisturizing IMMEDIATELY)! We'll talk about all the things that we've done, to, you know, trick people into thinking we're in our 20s (just kidding) - and we'll talk about the things that we WANT to do! Listen in for some fun...

Happy Holidays, Dumbbelles! It's a special Thanksgiving episode for you this week; we share all of our favorite things, including stuff we've purchased from Instagram ads that made us feel like we HAD to have it - but did we really love it or was it a total flop? We'll share the things we highly recommend, and the things we highly suggest you pass up.  What are some things that you've purchased fr...

Welcome back, Dumbbelles! This week we're talking a little about Kate's most recent 1/2 marathon and how she CRUSHED IT, as well as the way we used to work out vs. what we do now, and how our perception on fitness has changed and evolved as we've gotten older. More rest days, more weights, and stopping when something hurts (what a NOVEL idea). Whether you're brand-new to working out or you've been...

Hey there listeners!  Welcome to 2 Dumb Belles! We're Kate + Lindsay, two best friends with fun and funny stories to share. We'll share episodes weekly and we hope you'll keep coming back! Thanks for listening.
