Is it bad to not take a rest day? What are the red flags that you're over-training (or maybe under-training)? Should women cycle-sync their workouts? Is cardio important or should we just focus on resistance training? Kelsee Moore is a strength and conditioning coach, coaching the best and brightest athletes and military service members in NCAA Division I athletics and Air Force Special Warfare.
Today, Kelsee tells us how to make the most of our workouts as women and she answers her most frequently asked questions like: How do we reduce our chances of injury? Should we rest our injuries or work through the pain? How quickly do we decondition if we take a break from training? What role does diet play? And what about rest? From her own experience as an athlete--running ultra-marathons and 50-mile races--and as a top-notch trainer who has worked with the best, Kelsee offers important insights and tips for training for optimal performance and health.

How can we loosen the grip of our devices? Do we own them or do they own us? Joey Odom is the founder of ARO, a company committed to helping us spend less time on our phones.
Too much screen time can have a negative impact on our psychological and physical health. Depression, suicidal ideation, and anxiety are real outcomes from investing too much time on social media. In some ways, our phones have become like pacifiers and comfort objects for many of us. Today, Joey offers numerous strategies for reclaiming our lives and releasing our phones. He shares his stop/start philosophy and guidelines we can use as families to rein in the time we spend on our devices.

Improved digestion. Clearer skin. Brain fog clearing up. These are some of the benefits of paying attention to the quality of ingredients that go into (and on) the body! Gubba Homestead, a leading figure in the homesteading and natural skincare community, experienced all of the above and then some. Her family’s health improved, too, as they began avoiding toxic chemicals and returning to more natural foods and products.
Gubba tells her story today and also what led to her recent de-platforming on TikTok. (She was talking about the dangers of ingredients in sunscreen when her account was taken down.) She explains where her passion originated and why she won’t give up helping people uncover what’s in their food and skin care products. Finally, she also gets into what led her into homesteading and why she believes we can all become homesteaders in our own right (even if we live in the city)!
