In this episode, Tara De Leon walks us through a progressive muscle relaxation drill. Progressive muscle relaxation [PMR] is a relaxation technique of stress management. If you have never tried this technique before, it is great to have this in your stress relief toolbox.
You can do this anytime you are feeling tense, such as at the end of the day, or even when you are stuck in traffic. This technique is all about visualizing Chi, or energy.

Throughout this episode, the hosts, including a personal trainer, therapist, and dietitian, provide valuable insights into handling and navigating body shaming, even in an era that promotes body positivity.
If you've experienced body shaming or any form of bullying, this episode offers practical tools and advice to help you overcome negativity and emerge stronger.

For some of us, this may be a trip down memory lane! Listen closely as Tara shares facts and once-famous names in the health field from years gone by, and reminds us of some of the exercise fads (some of them, pretty funny!) that have come and gone.
How many people and routines did you know or remember? And the real question: how many Jane Fonda videos do you still have in the closet?
Join the healing trio in this informative and fun conversation!
Some takeaways:
It’s really interesting to note how our society’s views of and approaches to exercise, movement, and body image have changed over the years…
It’s also interesting to note what hasn’t changed - and yes, we’re looking at you, diet-culture!
