Trainer Bobby Scott returns to Starr Struck Radio as our final guest of 2015! 

In the first half of the episode, we finally hash out the blog back-and-forth that Bobby and Mary Catherine have been having over the question, "When it comes to fitness, is yoga enough?" Both Bobby and Mary Catherine explain their thoughts on the subject and as usual, Ben isn't shy about his opinions, either.  

In the second half of the show, we introduce a new strength training program that Bobby will be creating for Mary Catherine in 2016, explain how listeners can follow along and join in the program, and Bobby breaks down what he observed in Mary Catherine's body when he did his initial physical evaluation with her (hint: her strengths + weaknesses matched up pretty closely with a "typical female yogi body"). 

As we mention in the show, this is the last episode of 2016 because we'll be taking a break from Thanksgiving through New Year's. Thanks SO much for listening to our very first year of podcasting! You can learn more + follow-along with Mary Catherine's new strength training program on the blog {StarrStruckBlog.com} starting Monday, January 11th. 

You can view the shownotes at StarrStruckRadio.com and we'll be back with a new episode on Tuesday, January 5th, 2016. 

Happy Holidays!

Oh my, this is a doozy of a subject. Why do we women feel guilty so often and in so many areas of our lives?

In this week's episode, my good friend (and Starr Struck team member!) Sara and I discuss our issues with guilt, what we feel guilty about, why we think women have so much more guilt than men, and how we try to deal with our negative feelings around the subject.

Lets talk about one of the topics that comes up in almost every single Starr Struck Radio episode: therapy. As many of you know, I’m a huge proponent of therapy. My dad is a therapist, my late stepmom was a therapist, I’ve spent many hours of my life in therapist’s offices, and I think therapy is an amazing and underused tool that can be life-changing.

But, that’s not how everyone feels about it. In fact, for most, going to therapy is a taboo subject; often people are secretive about the fact that they have a therapist and act like it means that something is wrong with them. But it doesn’t!

So, in today’s episode, I pick psychologist Erica Merson’s brain about this topic. My hope is that this episode becomes a resource for those interested in learning about how to find a good therapist, what therapy is like, how it can help, and how to decide if therapy is the right fit.

We've got lots to talk about in this week's episode! First, we tackle some listener comments, feedback, and follow-up from our last two episodes covering Morning Routines and Impostor Syndrome.

Then, in the second half of the show, we discuss the idea of “finding your passion” or “living your passion,” which we believe is a big theme for our generation. We get into some of the conversations and controversies that have been popping up online (and in our daily lives) around this concept, and share our thoughts re: how passion relates to the work that we do and the lives that we create.
