Join this enthusiastic conversation on the benefits weight training with John, Nicole, and Doctor of Physical Therapy Amanda Yu, where they discuss the possibilities of getting stronger, healthier, and preventing injury through weight training!
Listen as Dr. Yu shares how her personal and professional observations have guided her philosophy, helping to create the passion she currently has in this area.
From clients looking to transition from injury and physical therapy and back to the gym, to those looking to increase skill, definition, or intensity with their workouts, Dr. Yu's guidance is cultivated by her own commitment to developing bodies, depending heavily not only on her training, but also personal losses and gains.
The conversation discusses myths that can cause resistance to weight training, as well as moving past misinformation from diet culture and social media. We hope this episode helps encourage our listeners to view movement and weight training from a different perspective!

Listeners get the opportunity to take in this interesting conversation between our hosts Nicole and Coach John and their guest Reverend Dr. Wylie Hughes, Pastor of Orchard Park Presbyterian Church, who is also a Reiki healer. The trio reflect on their individual spiritual upbringings and how they responded when their deeply held traditions were challenged. Considering their experiences, honest questions, and spiritual journeys, they openly compare the resistance they’ve each felt toward healing modalities outside of the traditional Christian experience. This meaningful, reflective conversation will encourage listeners to consider practices that could positively impact their wellness, and how practices are more connected across faiths and philosophies than we may be led to recognize. You’re welcome to join in on this powerful conversation with your likes, comments and shares!

Cecilia and Nicole have an honest conversation about the pros and cons of social media, a primary avenue people across the world use as a source for information, entertainment, and communication.

Our hosts honestly reflect on how social media has impacted their lives, the time consuming nature of social media, and learning to recognize the difference between social media relationships and relationships that develop through other avenues.

Listeners will appreciate their sincere discussion of authenticity and the importance of creating connections to people outside of social media platforms.

We encourage our audience to listen in as the pair reflect on social media’s influence on promoting positivity, motivational ideas, and knowledge of wellness related topics, while still contributing to mindsets that can negatively impact self esteem and behavior.
