Injecting GLP1 to Lose 5kg for Bikini Season: A New Disturbing Skinny Movement
Ash and Marisa dive into the topic that’s triggering them most right now: the rise of GLP-1 use among women who are taking it just to drop a few kilos.
Disclaimer: This conversation excludes women who are prescribed GLP-1s for genuine medical reasons.
We’re watching a dangerous trend unfold! The quiet return of “skinny culture,” and women comparing themselves to bodies shaped by medication, not healthy habits.
Behind the quick fixes come real risks, and we discuss:
👉 muscle loss
👉 weaker bones
👉 long-term fragility
👉 cognitive impact
👉 a new wave of body anxiety
We’ve spent years helping women build strength, confidence, and real self-acceptance... and this movement threatens to undo so much of that progress.
This isn’t judgement. It’s awareness, and we would love to hear your take? Facebook · Instagram

Closing a Business, Pivoting & Parenting After Divorce - Nicola Pheiffer, Part 2
Two years after our first conversation, Nicola Pheiffer returns for one of the most honest chats we’ve had on the podcast. Life looks very different now — motherhood after divorce, closing Simply Granola, and pivoting into her new venture, Oh Ship. We go behind the scenes of what it really takes to scale a business while navigating personal change, and how Nicola finds the stamina to keep showing up.
We also dive into the raw questions most people don’t ask:
• How do you reset when everything feels overwhelming?
• Do you have an addictive personality?
• What’s your default when it comes to self-sabotage?
