Between the lines with Laura and Jade - Introduction and Perfectionsim

In this heartfelt episode, we reflect on the early years of motherhood—what we thought it would be like, and the reality that hit us like a sleep-deprived freight train. We talk about the biggest shocks, like the crushing lack of sleep, the feeling of losing yourself, and the constant need to adapt as your priorities shift. But also, the overwhelming, soul-changing love that makes it all somehow w...

In this vulnerable and important episode, we talk about the mental and emotional toll of being injured—especially when training is such a big part of who we are. We dive into the identity shift that happens when you’re no longer the “strong” or “active” one, and how loss of routine, fear of falling behind, and the constant comparison trap can impact your motivation and self-worth. From the frustra...

In this raw and relatable episode, we dive into the world of imposter syndrome—what it is, why it shows up, and how it’s affected us personally. We share honest stories of the moments we’ve questioned ourselves—as coaches, as speakers, and as women trying to do big things—and how that little voice of doubt can sneak in, even when we do know we’re capable. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not good e...

In this episode, we reflect on the deeper lessons that fitness has given us—far beyond the physical. From building resilience when things get tough, to developing a healthy mindset, learning patience in the pursuit of long-term goals, and discovering the power of teamwork and community, we share how movement has shaped not just our bodies, but our lives. Fitness has taught us how to show up for ou...

In this inspiring episode, we dive into a big, beautiful question: What is your why? We explore the values that guide our choices, the kind of life we're working towards, and what a “perfect” life looks like to each of us—hint: it’s not all about money or success. We chat about our visions around relationships, finances, family time, hobbies, and holidays, and how aligning with our core values hel...

In this informative and essential episode, we’re joined by Jude, a pelvic floor specialist, to talk all things pelvic floor health and how it ties into exercise and training—for both women and men.

We also dive i...

In this reflective episode, we get honest about regret—the things we wish we’d done differently and the lessons we’ve learned along the way. From fitness choices and money mistakes to family moments, missed holidays, and questionable purchases, we explore the times we didn’t quite get it right… and how those experiences shaped who we are today. It’s not about living in the past—it’s about growing...

In this fun and personal episode, we rewind the clock and share the stories of how we met our partners—first dates, first impressions, and those unforgettable (and sometimes awkward) moments. We talk about how long we waited to get intimate, when we really knew they were “the one,” and the sweet, silly, and slightly embarrassing things that happened along the way—like pretending to be asleep durin...

In this episode, we unpack the heavy, familiar weight of guilt—the kind that shows up in all areas of life. From parenting (“Am I doing enough?”), to food choices, homeschooling, exercise, and finances—we talk about the mental load of always feeling like we’re falling short. We explore the stories we tell ourselves, the dishonesty that sometimes creeps in, and the turning point where we choose to...

In this episode, we tackle something we’ve all struggled with: having difficult conversations. Whether it’s with a partner, a friend, or a co-worker, conflict is part of life—but avoiding it often causes more harm than good. We chat about the ways we each handle confrontation (fight, flight, or people-pleasing, anyone?), how to express when something isn’t okay, and why unspoken expectations and b...

In this juicy episode, we dive into the mysterious world of sex dreams. Do you have them? Are they about people you know? Celebrities? Exes? Random baristas from 2009? 👀 We unpack why these dreams happen, what they might be telling us (spoiler: it’s not always about sex), and whether or not we share them with our partners—and why that can get very interesting. It’s raw, it’s real, it’s a little b...

Real Talk on Growth, Sex, Sleep & Kicking Coffee In this laid-back catch-up episode, we reflect on life lately—what we’ve been working on, what’s working for us, and where we’ve had to take our own advice (hello, perfectionism and self-care). We chat openly about how our perspectives around sex, sleep, and slowing down have shifted, the small wins that feel big (like finally kicking the mornin...

In this episode, we share our personal experiences with exercise, addictive tendencies, and the blurred line between passion and compulsion. We open up about recognising moments when our love for training started affecting our health, relationships, and ability to feel joy outside of movement. We talk honestly about having addictive personalities, the inner dialogue it takes to check ourselves, an...

In this episode, we open up about why we chose to homeschool—what led us here, who it works for, and when we knew it was the right fit. Homeschooling isn’t always the easy path, but it’s one filled with growth—for both kids and parents.   We talk about the real challenges: the need for patience (with them and ourselves), navigating different learning styles, and the importance of knowing when to s...

Parenting today looks a little different than how many of us were raised—and that’s the point. We’re learning to raise tiny humans who are not only strong-willed and capable, but also respectful and emotionally aware. This blog explores the middle ground between gentle parenting and the discipline-heavy styles many of us grew up with. We talk about the hard stuff: how we as parents are still learn...

In this episode, we’re talking all things sleep—or more accurately, the lack of it. We dive into how little we’re getting, how much we’re craving, and why it impacts everything—from our training and energy levels to our relationships and parenting. We share our own sleep struggles, the chaos of nighttime routines (or lack thereof), and some simple, practical tips that have helped us get better res...

In this episode, we dive into nutrition—not just what we eat, but how we think about food. We chat all things macronutrients, how we’re working on rebuilding a healthy relationship with food, and some simple, sustainable ways to bring better nutrition into our daily routines. We talk about what happens when we’re not fueling our bodies properly, how poor nutrition affects our training, and whether...

In this honest and heartfelt episode, we open up about the reality that relationships take work. From the hard moments to the joyful ones, we chat about how we’re learning to understand our different communication styles, what’s helped us through the tough seasons, and how we continue to show up for our partners—and ourselves—through it all. Whether you’re in a long-term relationship, navigating a...
