Move it Mama - The Sparkle Pod

Kia ora pals, another week and here we are. We start today's episode talking about Leece's mindset this morning and current struggles - of which, as you can appreciate, there are many and so it's a bit of a sombre start. In amongst this though we discuss the power of Move it Mama and community - and how blessed are we (that includes you, our listeners). Over the weekend we put out a Q&A to our social media and so in the rest of the episode we answer a series of random questions. Including but not limited to (!) - protein powder chat, an update on Leece's knee, parenting four year old boys and subsequent tips, fav foods/cuisines/snacks, motivation when life's tough, the notion of 'when I feel crap, I look crap, what can I do', and how to survive the silly season. On reflection the silly season answer is perhaps quite a stoic stance but we hope and trust you'll hear what we're saying. Love you guys, thankful every day. Connection - this is it.

Hello pals, how are you? Time for the weekend debrief, as per. It's been an eventful week and a hard one at that. We talk in quite a bit of detail with a life update from the Sunshine Coast. Things are really very hard and at this point we want to thank Leece for being so open in her experience. We know many of you are interested and care, and also really appreciate her vulnerability and honesty through the situation they find themselves in. A few little tangents about much less important matters like the rules of the sissy chat, f**king Fortnite and kids birthday parties. Once again, we are so grateful to you.

Hello hello, welcome to the weekend debrief. Leece wasn't feeling super up to the chat today and so decided instead to quiz me about the half marathon and a weekend in Auckland. Some days are just harder than others so with Leece taking somewhat of a backward step from the mic I hope you're not feeling a total snooze fest. In the episode we go over the weekend which included the Auckland half marathon, my visiting friends, the current struggles of life on the Sunshine Coast, some book chat and some other little bits in between. As I ran around the Auckland half track I had some beaut smiles off in the distance and one or two 'go Move it Mama' chants from the little pockets of crowd. It was just another reminder of the power of this community and how fortunate we are to have you.

Welcome back to the weekend synopsis with Leece and Jess. Leece is sipping her cacao as we record today, so you're blessed with a slurpy start. In today's episode we talk the tradition of ceremonial cacao (and coffee lol), finding and taking the time to stop for a second, musings about life just being all round hard (sorry if this is downer), today's LIVE workout and boobs, and the anxious ins and outs of Dan. Halfway through we take a trip down memory lane and somehow end up discussing one night stands and so thank goodness for that, with its ability to lighten the mood. Listeners of a younger age should probably not be around. We also cannot stop swearing - we'll do better! Love and thanks <3
