Podcast Episode 137: The FBGs Say Goodbye! 

We're back -- with the final episode of our podcast! And, as you might expect, in this ep we're talking about life in quarantine and how we are coping (because is it even possible to have a conversation right now that doesn't include that?). How have you guys been holding up? Got any tips that might help others?

Yes, it’s true we are saying goodbye to podcasting with a heavy heart -- but also with so much pride! There are 136 episodes in our library, and we've got interviews with the best people in food, health, nutrition, exercise, meditation, running, cycling, beauty, travel, personal growth, spirituality, dance, and more.

It was a total blast and we are so grateful to our listeners from all over the globe. You were the reason we kept going these last four years and we are so honored to be a part of your personal health and wellness journeys.

And while we have a few eps that stand out to us (and that we're leaning on #InTheseTimes), we want to hear from you. Have you found any of our past interviews to be especially helpful? Which ones would you recommend people listen to for the first time (or again)?

Although we won’t be doing new episodes (sniff), it’s not like we’re disappearing from the world. Actually, we’re all up to new exciting things. Have a listen and be sure to write down all of our socials so we can stay in touch!

Highlights from Episode 137:

Now, before we call this a wrap, we have one question for you: What's the last song you listened to before you joined us today? --Margo

Goodbye & Good Luck from the FBGs!

Podcast Episode 136: Lisa Canning (HGTV star, lifestyle expert & mother of 8!)

They say if you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. Well, the FBGs can’t think of anyone busier than interior designer and lifestyle expert Lisa Canning (she’s a friend of the Property Brothers--woot!) who also happens to be the other of eight kids. (Actually it was seven at the time of the interview. Like we said, she likes to be busy!)

Lisa talks about her book “The Possibility Mom: How to be a Great Mom and Pursue Your Dream at the Same Time” with her best advice for how to reclaim more “me time” and achieve your goals while remaining sane. Who couldn’t use that advice?

Podcast Episode 132: Sarah Knight “Calm the Fuck Down”

We are living in very anxious times from the current political climate to the predictions about the consequences of global warming--how can any of us really not succumb to stress every once in a while?  New York Times best-selling author Sarah Knight talks about how to just that with her book “Calm the Fuck Down: How to Control What You Can and Accept What You can’t So You Can Stop Freaking Out About Your Life.” 

Artwork

By breaking down the different “phases of freaking out” and offering strategies to avoid potential meltdowns--Knight offers plenty of practical tips and solutions to bring more calmness into your life. And really, who wouldn't benefit from a little more of that? 

 

Our Favorite Quotes from Sarah: 

“It’s all about giving fewer fucks of what you don’t want and what you can’t control, and giving more fucks to do what you want and can control”

 

“We’re programmed to feel like we’re near the center of the universe and, like, saying “no” will really hurt someone. But that’s not the case”

Podcast Episode 132 Highlights With Sarah Knight:

  • The most important question you can ask yourself when it comes to anxiety and worry
  • How to use the “Sarah Knight Shitstorm Scale” and check the likelihood if ‘what if’ comes to pass
  • One simple and concrete way to stop people-pleasing
  • Why many of us are so scared to say ‘no” and set boundaries
  • The difference between being productive and helpful worrying and non-productive worrying
  • The importance of “mental decluttering
  • The “what/why” method and how it can change your life
  • How people/media in different countries respond to her frequent use of curse words
  • Plus. FBG’s offer a “cursing disclaimer” and how it is for us to say no. Also, why we hate being told to “calm the fuck down!”.
