The Stripped Podcast

If you’ve been seeing  HYROX  everywhere and thinking “why are people so obsessed?”…same. From the outside it can look a little cult-like: running, SkiErg, sled push/pull, wall balls… paying money to suffer. But once you’re in it, it makes perfect sense. In this episode, I’m sharing my first HYROX experience (mixed doubles in Hong Kong) not as a fitness expert (clearly!) , but as a woman who said...

If we’re anti-body-shaming, we don’t get to pick which bodies deserve protection. In this episode, I name what skinny-shaming actually looks like, why “real body” rhetoric can quietly recreate the same hierarchy, and how to step out of the body-war mindset, so you can come back to something simpler: your body is a home, not a public debate. Reflection Question:   Where have you been tempted to “ra...

What if your period is your secret strategic advantage? For decades, I saw my cycle as an inconvenience. I was put on the pill at 15, told to "control" it, and taught to hide it away. I silenced my body's wisdom before I ever learned its language. In this episode, I'm sharing my journey from shame to power and how I learned to see my cyclical nature not as a weakness, but as my greatest source of...

I sat front-row at my son’s school show, blood barely contained through the gauze and clapping through pain, believing this proved my love .

Why "toughing it out"...
