It’s the middle of the year so we thought we’d check in on the goals we set ourselves at the start of the year! We're starting with Laura this week, and next week it's Steph's turn.
This year we set goals according to the 3B’s framework: Betterment, Belonging & Becoming. In this episode, Laura reflects on the progress she’s made on the goals she set at the start of the year and the changes she wants to make before the year ends.
WE MENTIONED
We mentioned that we have episodes coming out with Katma and Alex Light! Katma’s episode will be in your feed on Wednesday. Alex’s episode is coming later this month.

Hiiii! It’s time for another WWYD episode! This week your questions are both food and body-image related.
QUESTION #1: I'm healthy and fit, but I’ve had cellulite on the back of my legs for as long as I can remember. I’m headed on a beach holiday and I’m feeling self-conscious about it. I really want to enjoy my body in a bikini, but it makes me anxious. How would you navigate this?
QUESTION #2: My coworkers frequently make comments about what I’m eating or how my body looks. I’ve tried telling them it makes me uncomfortable but the comments and questions still continue. How would you approach this in a respectful but firm way?
