I think this might be our first
ever podcast interview together.
23
00:01:02,937 --> 00:01:03,447
Yes, we've done 'em
24
00:01:03,717 --> 00:01:04,007
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Yeah.
25
00:01:04,137 --> 00:01:06,147
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
just about different topics in general,
26
00:01:06,147 --> 00:01:07,527
but this is our first one together.
27
00:01:07,877 --> 00:01:10,727
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: That's awesome,
and you guys are sisters, right?
28
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:11,720
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746: Yes.
29
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:12,980
Kari is, how old are you?
30
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:13,789
Three years older.
31
00:01:13,789 --> 00:01:14,575
Som years older than, I'm 27.
32
00:01:14,725 --> 00:01:15,015
Yeah.
33
00:01:15,015 --> 00:01:15,175
Mm-hmm.
34
00:01:15,275 --> 00:01:16,580
And I'm, I'm 23 right now.
35
00:01:16,789 --> 00:01:18,440
A lot of people flop that.
36
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,060
They're like, oh, Kari, you look younger.
37
00:01:20,060 --> 00:01:22,130
And I'm like, one day I'm
gonna love that compliment.
38
00:01:22,130 --> 00:01:23,390
But am.
39
00:01:23,390 --> 00:01:25,400
I am three years older,
but it's basically, I feel
40
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,539
like we're twins, honestly.
41
00:01:26,889 --> 00:01:30,339
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747:
Girl, I am 28 and my sister is
42
00:01:30,669 --> 00:01:31,509
22,
43
00:01:31,899 --> 00:01:34,389
and people all the time
think she's older than me.
44
00:01:34,389 --> 00:01:37,658
Like, I dunno what it's, but
I get that people think I'm
45
00:01:37,658 --> 00:01:39,369
like 16, like all the time
46
00:01:39,570 --> 00:01:39,580
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
yeah,
47
00:01:39,729 --> 00:01:41,169
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: and I hate it.
48
00:01:41,169 --> 00:01:44,109
But the closer I get to 30 the
more I'm like, yeah, whatever.
49
00:01:44,109 --> 00:01:44,709
It's fine.
50
00:01:44,709 --> 00:01:46,119
Like you can think I look young.
51
00:01:46,589 --> 00:01:47,249
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
Exactly, yeah.
52
00:01:47,249 --> 00:01:48,149
I'm still 21.
53
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:48,304
That's
54
00:01:48,604 --> 00:01:52,384
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Yeah, like one
day I'm gonna get to be like 40 or 50
55
00:01:52,384 --> 00:01:54,454
and people are gonna be like, are you 25?
56
00:01:54,454 --> 00:01:55,128
And I'm gonna be like, yeah,
57
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:56,128
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
exactly.
58
00:01:56,279 --> 00:01:56,459
They're, yeah,
59
00:01:56,783 --> 00:01:57,598
Then the, then the younger
60
00:01:57,598 --> 00:02:00,959
sisters are gonna be like, okay, yeah,
I don't like that compliment anymore.
61
00:02:01,444 --> 00:02:02,464
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: exactly.
62
00:02:02,464 --> 00:02:03,694
Well, thanks for coming on here.
63
00:02:03,694 --> 00:02:03,964
You guys.
64
00:02:03,964 --> 00:02:07,204
Can you share just a little bit
about what you guys do online line?
65
00:02:07,504 --> 00:02:08,554
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
Yes, definitely.
66
00:02:08,704 --> 00:02:11,734
So we are, as Mari said, everything,
Krause, which is just like the
67
00:02:11,734 --> 00:02:13,804
name of our brand that we created.
68
00:02:13,804 --> 00:02:17,374
Basically we're centered on health,
wellness, faith, really bringing.
69
00:02:18,454 --> 00:02:22,294
What we like to say, health and God
back to our generation and showing that
70
00:02:22,294 --> 00:02:25,444
they're not two separate things, but two
things that go hand in hand together.
71
00:02:25,594 --> 00:02:28,804
So we post a lot about clean eating,
a lot about non-toxic living.
72
00:02:29,044 --> 00:02:31,954
Um, we're Catholic in particular, so
we post a lot about our Catholic faith
73
00:02:31,954 --> 00:02:33,844
journey and growing in our spiritual life.
74
00:02:34,084 --> 00:02:36,184
Um, but we mainly just share
everything lifestyle as well.
75
00:02:36,184 --> 00:02:39,214
Like we said, we're sisters, but
we're also best friends journeying
76
00:02:39,214 --> 00:02:40,204
through this life together.
77
00:02:40,204 --> 00:02:40,624
So.
78
00:02:40,939 --> 00:02:45,228
We like to share things that are relatable
and real, rather than almost teaching
79
00:02:45,228 --> 00:02:47,659
people because we're we're not teachers.
80
00:02:47,659 --> 00:02:50,629
You know, we're, we're growing through
life as we go, and we want you to, we
81
00:02:50,629 --> 00:02:52,309
want all of you to really grow with us.
82
00:02:52,309 --> 00:02:52,939
We like to say
83
00:02:53,339 --> 00:02:53,728
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: That's awesome.
84
00:02:53,814 --> 00:02:54,054
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
said.
85
00:02:54,054 --> 00:02:56,274
No notes, no notes on that one, sis.
86
00:02:56,834 --> 00:02:57,404
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Amazing.
87
00:02:57,404 --> 00:02:57,824
I love it.
88
00:02:57,824 --> 00:03:02,234
I'm excited to dive into all things
healthy living, how you got into this
89
00:03:02,234 --> 00:03:05,954
clean lifestyle, how you integrate
it with your faith, um, and just how
90
00:03:05,954 --> 00:03:07,124
you grow in these different virtues.
91
00:03:07,124 --> 00:03:10,904
So before we jump in, let's
do our ever be moments today.
92
00:03:10,934 --> 00:03:12,103
Do you guys have any,
93
00:03:12,370 --> 00:03:13,570
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
Yes, I'll start.
94
00:03:13,630 --> 00:03:14,080
Yes, go ahead.
95
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:14,290
Okay.
96
00:03:14,290 --> 00:03:17,530
So my ever be moment, it's
actually a small one, but I feel
97
00:03:17,530 --> 00:03:20,740
like it's in the smallest moments
that God really reveals himself.
98
00:03:20,740 --> 00:03:24,820
So, as I said, we are content creators,
and there was one day where I was just
99
00:03:24,820 --> 00:03:27,400
really in my head about our platform.
100
00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:30,710
I started comparing myself to other
creators almost in a way though of.
101
00:03:31,405 --> 00:03:32,365
we making an impact?
102
00:03:32,365 --> 00:03:33,445
God, are we doing
103
00:03:33,745 --> 00:03:33,965
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Hmm.
104
00:03:34,045 --> 00:03:34,765
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
us to do?
105
00:03:34,765 --> 00:03:36,745
Are we resonating with people?
106
00:03:36,745 --> 00:03:39,055
Is our message even
really affecting people?
107
00:03:39,055 --> 00:03:41,605
Like, or am I just posting
into the void like it was this
108
00:03:41,605 --> 00:03:43,105
really weird, negative thought
109
00:03:43,245 --> 00:03:43,665
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Mm-hmm.
110
00:03:43,765 --> 00:03:45,325
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
into and I was just crying in the middle
111
00:03:45,325 --> 00:03:48,685
of my prayer saying this to all of
them being like, I trust in you, Lord.
112
00:03:48,805 --> 00:03:50,545
Just like, please guide me and.
113
00:03:51,730 --> 00:03:53,530
Course, whenever I, whenever
I bring that to prayer, I'm
114
00:03:53,530 --> 00:03:54,760
like, I know not to compare.
115
00:03:54,820 --> 00:03:57,280
Like I know that you made me
uniquely me and I need to remember
116
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:57,735
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: It's okay.
117
00:03:57,735 --> 00:03:58,065
I've been.
118
00:03:58,210 --> 00:03:58,960
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
I, yeah.
119
00:03:59,829 --> 00:04:03,760
So when I got home from that walk and
that prayer, I picked up my phone and I
120
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,450
was like, lemme go read a few comments, a
few dms, make sure I answer some people.
121
00:04:07,630 --> 00:04:11,680
And I had gotten a DM like two minutes
ago from this girl who told us that she
122
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,160
originally followed us for health and
wellness content, but she's a Protestant
123
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,450
Christian and she has been so inspired
by our, by our Catholic post and started
124
00:04:19,450 --> 00:04:21,250
going to mass and it's just like super.
125
00:04:21,865 --> 00:04:25,645
Diving in for something deeper and
she's converting to Catholicism, which
126
00:04:25,645 --> 00:04:28,915
I just thought was like so special
because I don't know, it was in that
127
00:04:28,915 --> 00:04:31,825
moment that I was like, I like looked
into the sky and I was like, thank you
128
00:04:32,159 --> 00:04:32,340
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Hmm.
129
00:04:32,365 --> 00:04:34,195
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
thank you for showing that our
130
00:04:34,195 --> 00:04:35,815
content does really make an impact.
131
00:04:35,815 --> 00:04:36,659
There are people behind
132
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:37,260
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Yeah.
133
00:04:37,435 --> 00:04:39,145
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
that are reading our captions, that
134
00:04:39,145 --> 00:04:42,085
are reading our stories, and I'm
not just posting into the void.
135
00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:45,385
I'm doing what you're calling me to do,
and it was just such a small moment,
136
00:04:45,385 --> 00:04:47,665
but such reassurance that I needed that.
137
00:04:47,665 --> 00:04:49,825
I was like, I can put that
thought behind me for good Now.
138
00:04:50,355 --> 00:04:51,465
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: I love that.
139
00:04:51,465 --> 00:04:54,405
That's so beautiful that you got to see
that reassurance right then and there.
140
00:04:54,885 --> 00:04:57,780
Um, I'm sure a moment will come
back where, where you're gonna need
141
00:04:58,065 --> 00:05:01,725
that reassurance again and the Lord
will keep giving you those breadcrumbs.
142
00:05:01,725 --> 00:05:03,735
But that's beautiful that
you answered that prayer.
143
00:05:04,675 --> 00:05:05,125
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
Thank you.
144
00:05:05,185 --> 00:05:08,095
Oh, I always say Isabel's
prayers are very powerful too.
145
00:05:08,095 --> 00:05:10,495
So when she told me that,
I'm like, I'm not surprised.
146
00:05:10,495 --> 00:05:14,010
He answered you literally five
minutes later with that DM like that.
147
00:05:14,015 --> 00:05:16,225
He was like, I got you, my child.
148
00:05:16,225 --> 00:05:16,975
Don't worry.
149
00:05:17,095 --> 00:05:18,085
Like truthfully.
150
00:05:18,415 --> 00:05:18,655
Yeah.
151
00:05:18,655 --> 00:05:21,805
So I, and I love hearing that obviously
as her partner and all this, I'm
152
00:05:21,805 --> 00:05:23,635
like, okay, re reassures me that.
153
00:05:23,935 --> 00:05:25,855
It feels like we're
truly on the right path.
154
00:05:25,885 --> 00:05:29,725
Um, kind of going off of that
my ever be moment again, going
155
00:05:29,725 --> 00:05:31,165
along with like the path of things.
156
00:05:31,165 --> 00:05:34,765
So another thing that I do and
another on the other side of
157
00:05:34,765 --> 00:05:36,175
things is I'm a fitness instructor.
158
00:05:36,245 --> 00:05:36,534
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Yeah.
159
00:05:36,565 --> 00:05:37,765
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
a lot of Pilates classes, a lot
160
00:05:37,765 --> 00:05:40,705
of sculpt classes, which is very
fun, very passionate about it.
161
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,950
I recently became a
Lululemon ambassador, which
162
00:05:44,250 --> 00:05:44,310
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Yeah.
163
00:05:44,409 --> 00:05:46,000
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
a very exciting thing.
164
00:05:46,330 --> 00:05:51,850
Um, but obviously what Isabel and I post
a lot about is non-toxic, clean living,
165
00:05:51,850 --> 00:05:52,930
all these different areas of life.
166
00:05:52,930 --> 00:05:56,260
But we always tell people we're not
perfect in that active wear is one of
167
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:57,640
those areas where we're not perfect.
168
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,630
And when I was driving in the car,
like a little bit after I found
169
00:06:01,630 --> 00:06:04,210
out that I got it, I was just
like, how am I gonna bridge this?
170
00:06:05,290 --> 00:06:08,590
opportunity with a brand that I looked
up to literally since I was in grade
171
00:06:08,590 --> 00:06:13,060
school, like wanting to buy their, you
know, their zip up jackets and being
172
00:06:13,060 --> 00:06:14,740
like the girl in Lululemon, right?
173
00:06:14,740 --> 00:06:16,210
Like literally in grade school.
174
00:06:16,450 --> 00:06:18,730
And how can I bridge this now
with what is well, and I do.
175
00:06:18,730 --> 00:06:22,270
And I just, had just gotten done
praying the rosary and I feel like I
176
00:06:22,270 --> 00:06:23,860
just had this moment come to me of.
177
00:06:24,235 --> 00:06:28,225
This is the opportunity that
you can make maybe even a bigger
178
00:06:28,225 --> 00:06:30,295
impact in such a big space.
179
00:06:30,295 --> 00:06:32,845
Like talk about like
little fish in a big pond.
180
00:06:32,845 --> 00:06:36,235
That's how I feel in terms of being
in partnership with Lululemon.
181
00:06:36,245 --> 00:06:36,465
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Wow.
182
00:06:36,595 --> 00:06:38,545
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
an amazing opportunity, and I feel
183
00:06:38,545 --> 00:06:43,405
like I have all these fun ideas that
are now of coming to fruition in a
184
00:06:43,405 --> 00:06:47,095
way, or just coming to me about how
God's like, listen, you can make a
185
00:06:47,095 --> 00:06:52,075
massive impact here, bringing this
non-toxic living, this healthier.
186
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,440
Lifestyle for women's fertility men,
like all these things that we talk about
187
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,690
with clothing and non-toxic living and
bring that to this massive company.
188
00:07:01,690 --> 00:07:06,340
And even if I move the needle like half
an inch, I think that's even amazing.
189
00:07:06,340 --> 00:07:09,970
So I feel like, you know, questioning
like, oh, is this right for me?
190
00:07:09,970 --> 00:07:11,080
Like I was questioning, right?
191
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,330
There was a time when I was like,
God, is this really meant for me?
192
00:07:13,330 --> 00:07:16,420
Or is this something that's
gonna throw me off of?
193
00:07:16,810 --> 00:07:20,800
I think like the path that we're on
together too, because obviously, you know,
194
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,240
like that's something that I'm a part of.
195
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,550
But of course Isabelle is a
part of my life, so I'm like,
196
00:07:24,730 --> 00:07:25,660
I have to think about that.
197
00:07:25,660 --> 00:07:29,080
And I feel like in that moment
God was like, is a part of your
198
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,020
plan in some way, but you have to
kind of have the guts to do it.
199
00:07:32,020 --> 00:07:35,530
And even if, even if they tell
you no a thousand times, like
200
00:07:35,530 --> 00:07:37,360
try and get one yes in that door.
201
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,850
So who's ever listened to this podcast?
202
00:07:39,850 --> 00:07:40,870
You're hearing it here first.
203
00:07:40,870 --> 00:07:43,125
We're we're pushing for that non-toxic
204
00:07:43,425 --> 00:07:43,645
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Yes.
205
00:07:43,690 --> 00:07:45,190
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
big, big brands here.
206
00:07:45,295 --> 00:07:47,175
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: would
be like, so life changing,
207
00:07:47,735 --> 00:07:47,935
honestly.
208
00:07:48,205 --> 00:07:48,505
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
Yeah.
209
00:07:48,745 --> 00:07:49,495
No, I know,
210
00:07:49,555 --> 00:07:49,915
I know.
211
00:07:50,034 --> 00:07:50,255
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: So
212
00:07:50,365 --> 00:07:50,575
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746: I
213
00:07:50,605 --> 00:07:51,175
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: life changing.
214
00:07:51,385 --> 00:07:52,165
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
your products out.
215
00:07:52,165 --> 00:07:54,115
I will be your Guinea pig.
216
00:07:54,115 --> 00:07:54,245
Like,
217
00:07:54,545 --> 00:07:54,835
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Yeah.
218
00:07:55,045 --> 00:07:55,675
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
me do it.
219
00:07:55,675 --> 00:07:59,425
If anyone from Lululemon is
listening, I promise we will get this
220
00:07:59,745 --> 00:08:01,075
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747:
Call her please now.
221
00:08:01,945 --> 00:08:02,395
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
Yeah.
222
00:08:02,420 --> 00:08:03,080
Yes, exactly.
223
00:08:03,750 --> 00:08:04,350
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: That's awesome.
224
00:08:04,350 --> 00:08:04,770
I love it.
225
00:08:04,770 --> 00:08:05,850
Thanks for sharing that.
226
00:08:05,970 --> 00:08:11,640
Um, for me, my ever be moment, so
yesterday in my morning prayer time,
227
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,380
I decided to open up some old prayer
journals that I've had, like since I
228
00:08:16,380 --> 00:08:19,170
started prayer journaling back in 2018.
229
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,450
And so I literally started with
the first one, which was like.
230
00:08:22,935 --> 00:08:28,545
Old and I was just so inspired by
seeing the ways the Lord has answered
231
00:08:28,545 --> 00:08:33,794
little prayers and even the way the
Lord has like even used those old
232
00:08:33,794 --> 00:08:36,044
prayer journals to speak to me now and.
233
00:08:37,065 --> 00:08:42,135
I fell on some notes from SEEK
conferences, like the first seek
234
00:08:42,135 --> 00:08:46,005
conference I went to back in 2018
and there was this whole page that
235
00:08:46,005 --> 00:08:50,865
I drew from Sarah Swofford talk that
said, live life with open hands.
236
00:08:51,165 --> 00:08:55,425
And it was just like, we just tend
to grasp so much for what we want
237
00:08:55,455 --> 00:08:58,275
or our plan or our time or whatever.
238
00:08:58,575 --> 00:09:00,285
And I just, it all came flooding back.
239
00:09:00,285 --> 00:09:02,085
She was just like, why live like this?
240
00:09:02,085 --> 00:09:04,935
Like when you can live like
this and how much more like.
241
00:09:04,990 --> 00:09:05,380
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
that.
242
00:09:05,460 --> 00:09:10,020
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Joyful
and free and fulfilling, and even
243
00:09:10,020 --> 00:09:14,610
just like peaceful, is it to be
like this instead of like gripped
244
00:09:14,610 --> 00:09:16,110
knuckles, you know what I mean?
245
00:09:16,110 --> 00:09:18,960
And the Lord can work so much
more when we are like this.
246
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,110
So that was just a good encouragement
for me and hopefully to anyone
247
00:09:22,110 --> 00:09:23,400
who needed to hear that today.
248
00:09:24,010 --> 00:09:25,315
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
Yeah, no, that's, which I love that.
249
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:25,870
That's beautiful.
250
00:09:25,870 --> 00:09:28,510
And it's, even being able to
visualize that, I feel like it's,
251
00:09:28,510 --> 00:09:30,310
it's so easy to go through life with
252
00:09:30,310 --> 00:09:34,390
that grip of feeling like I'm in
control and I need to control it.
253
00:09:34,390 --> 00:09:35,530
Like, what do I want?
254
00:09:35,530 --> 00:09:36,670
What do I, I, I,
255
00:09:36,765 --> 00:09:37,055
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Yeah.
256
00:09:37,270 --> 00:09:38,980
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
so often we, you know, hearing that
257
00:09:38,980 --> 00:09:40,360
I'm like, that is, that's beautiful.
258
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,150
I, know that's gonna be something
that's gonna stick with us for sure.
259
00:09:43,635 --> 00:09:43,875
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Good.
260
00:09:43,875 --> 00:09:44,355
I love it.
261
00:09:44,625 --> 00:09:46,575
Well, let's jump into it.
262
00:09:46,605 --> 00:09:49,455
I wanna start off by
bringing up your guys' bio.
263
00:09:49,485 --> 00:09:53,265
'cause I thought it was just
so fun and catchy and yet like
264
00:09:53,265 --> 00:09:54,915
communicated such a message.
265
00:09:55,275 --> 00:09:55,725
It's
266
00:09:55,855 --> 00:09:56,240
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
thank you.
267
00:09:57,165 --> 00:09:59,865
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: living
non-toxic, moving our bodies,
268
00:09:59,865 --> 00:10:02,145
growing our minds, and serving God.
269
00:10:02,385 --> 00:10:06,375
So I kind of wanna know like were
these values that you guys have always
270
00:10:06,375 --> 00:10:10,586
had throughout your life, or how did
you really grow into this lifestyle?
271
00:10:11,190 --> 00:10:11,610
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
Mm-hmm.
272
00:10:12,595 --> 00:10:17,185
I feel like all those values have, like
you said, they have always been a part
273
00:10:17,185 --> 00:10:22,135
of our life in some way, especially like
faith, for example, we born and raised
274
00:10:22,135 --> 00:10:27,625
Catholic, so we had very faithful parents
still to this day, very, very faithful.
275
00:10:27,625 --> 00:10:28,855
Great examples for us.
276
00:10:29,035 --> 00:10:31,915
Our nana was, you know, walked
around with rosaries in our hand,
277
00:10:31,915 --> 00:10:33,055
fell asleep every night, praying.
278
00:10:33,055 --> 00:10:36,265
Our rosaries was always just,
you know, went to daily mass.
279
00:10:36,265 --> 00:10:39,685
So we had this inspiration
around us all the time.
280
00:10:40,510 --> 00:10:43,990
It's funny because when even hearing
you talk about it, I feel like all
281
00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:47,530
these things have so naturally been
embedded in our life, but have grown so
282
00:10:47,530 --> 00:10:50,740
much, especially through this account
and through all the people we meet and
283
00:10:50,740 --> 00:10:52,480
just in growing in our own journeys.
284
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,890
I feel like if you had asked us
when we started our account Ways
285
00:10:56,890 --> 00:11:00,190
and ways ago in 2017, if that would
be our bio, we've probably been
286
00:11:00,190 --> 00:11:01,960
like, why is all that included?
287
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,670
Why isn't fashion on there?
288
00:11:03,670 --> 00:11:05,680
Or like lifestyle trends?
289
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:08,260
Why, you know, I feel like it
would've been confusing, so.
290
00:11:09,070 --> 00:11:11,560
As much as it's always been a part
of our life, there's definitely
291
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:15,370
areas that have grown so much in the
past few years of like deepening our
292
00:11:15,370 --> 00:11:17,115
faith and especially in the non-toxic
293
00:11:17,415 --> 00:11:17,835
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Mm-hmm.
294
00:11:18,010 --> 00:11:19,960
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
we weren't always paying attention to
295
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,580
what we were putting in our bodies,
296
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,490
what we were wearing, what we were
eating and drinking, things like that.
297
00:11:24,490 --> 00:11:27,940
Like that is a newer thing for us
in the past few years for sure.
298
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:28,090
Mm-hmm.
299
00:11:28,245 --> 00:11:28,905
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Mm-hmm.
300
00:11:29,740 --> 00:11:31,480
squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:
really cool to see it all come together.
301
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,570
I think like hearing it now, I'm
like, wow, it really did all come
302
00:11:34,570 --> 00:11:37,780
full circle for us in a way, and
we're still growing in all of that.
303
00:11:38,965 --> 00:11:41,095
Working on that bio
and growing it as well.
304
00:11:41,215 --> 00:11:45,115
I think the, the foundation of it that has
always been there, like Tiri said, really
305
00:11:45,115 --> 00:11:49,825
was the faith aspect and the fitness
aspect, I would say for our entire lives.
306
00:11:49,825 --> 00:11:51,235
You know, we watched our mom and our aunt.
307
00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:53,290
Run every single weekend down the shore.
308
00:11:53,290 --> 00:11:54,880
They ran marathon after marathon.
309
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,360
So we were constantly surrounded
by adults who moved to their body.
310
00:11:58,420 --> 00:11:58,570
Mm-hmm.
311
00:11:58,810 --> 00:12:02,140
So for us, when we started working
out, it wasn't like something that
312
00:12:02,140 --> 00:12:03,340
was like, oh, I'm going to the gym.
313
00:12:03,340 --> 00:12:05,950
It was like a natural born thing to do.
314
00:12:06,130 --> 00:12:10,360
And I think that with our faith were
the two foundational pillars that
315
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,960
like grew us to where we are today
and almost allowed us to evolve.
316
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,820
I think if we didn't have those pillars.
317
00:12:16,195 --> 00:12:17,635
You probably wouldn't be the same people.
318
00:12:17,665 --> 00:12:17,755
Mm-hmm.
319
00:12:17,995 --> 00:12:21,325
So those values were maybe there,
and I think because of those values,
320
00:12:21,355 --> 00:12:24,175
the other ones fell into place and
that's why we were even passionate
321
00:12:24,175 --> 00:12:25,975
enough to dig into them eventually.
322
00:12:25,980 --> 00:12:26,030
Mm-hmm.
323
00:12:26,925 --> 00:12:27,375
mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: That's awesome.
324
00:12:27,375 --> 00:12:27,825
I love it.
325
00:12:28,365 --> 00:12:30,615
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Alright, let's
chat a little bit about non-toxic living,
326
00:12:30,615 --> 00:12:34,545
because I feel like it's been on the
rise the past couple years, and yet
327
00:12:34,545 --> 00:12:37,335
it's still very new to a lot of people.
328
00:12:37,335 --> 00:12:41,055
So I'm curious to know a little
bit more about your guys' journey.
329
00:12:41,055 --> 00:12:45,735
What were some of the wake
up calls maybe that put you.
330
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,280
That made you start actually caring
about what you put on your body, in
331
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,440
your body, in your home, all the things.
332
00:12:54,165 --> 00:12:54,435
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
Wanna go.
333
00:12:54,825 --> 00:12:59,385
So I think our journey really started
with clean eating and non-toxic living
334
00:12:59,715 --> 00:13:03,795
came from that we, we kind of tackled
one beast before tackling another.
335
00:13:04,065 --> 00:13:06,945
Um, and I would say it was
in, I think it was year 2016.
336
00:13:07,305 --> 00:13:10,440
Our mom was diagnosed with ms,
which is multiple sclerosis.
337
00:13:10,740 --> 00:13:11,010
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yep.
338
00:13:11,025 --> 00:13:12,345
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
it's an autoimmune disease.
339
00:13:12,585 --> 00:13:15,345
And when she was in the hospital,
they told her like, you're gonna
340
00:13:15,345 --> 00:13:16,515
be in a wheelchair within a month.
341
00:13:16,875 --> 00:13:20,535
And if you heard me earlier in the
podcast, like she was running marathons.
342
00:13:20,535 --> 00:13:21,825
She worked out every single day.
343
00:13:21,825 --> 00:13:23,055
She was an active woman.
344
00:13:23,055 --> 00:13:25,065
So like in our mind, she was
the healthiest person that
345
00:13:25,105 --> 00:13:25,395
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
346
00:13:25,485 --> 00:13:25,695
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
Yeah.
347
00:13:25,815 --> 00:13:25,995
Mm-hmm.
348
00:13:26,235 --> 00:13:28,725
So to us, we were like, what do you
mean she's gonna be in a wheelchair?
349
00:13:28,815 --> 00:13:32,205
Like, she couldn't even comprehend
that idea and she really
350
00:13:32,205 --> 00:13:33,915
refused to accept that idea.
351
00:13:33,915 --> 00:13:34,425
So.
352
00:13:35,310 --> 00:13:37,830
When she heard that, they immediately
told her like, get on medicine,
353
00:13:37,830 --> 00:13:39,150
here's your pills, et cetera.
354
00:13:39,150 --> 00:13:41,310
And she kind of was like, I'm
not accepting this reality.
355
00:13:41,310 --> 00:13:42,630
I'm not accepting this as my fate.
356
00:13:42,630 --> 00:13:45,360
I'm gonna do everything in
my power to change my future.
357
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,540
And that's when she kind of contacted
our cousin, who was super, his
358
00:13:48,622 --> 00:13:51,660
name's Evan, he's super into health
and wellness, holistic living.
359
00:13:51,660 --> 00:13:53,000
And he recommended Dr.
360
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,345
Terry Walls who wrote a whole book about.
361
00:13:56,100 --> 00:14:00,600
Autoimmune diseases and the paleo
diet, which was, you know, no carbs, no
362
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,250
sugars, like it was very restrictive.
363
00:14:02,250 --> 00:14:06,270
No tomatoes, no nightshade vegetables,
like very anti-inflammatory,
364
00:14:06,270 --> 00:14:08,425
like to the max mm-hmm.
365
00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:08,790
To the
366
00:14:08,850 --> 00:14:09,330
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Got it
367
00:14:09,420 --> 00:14:12,000
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
could be in terms of relating it
368
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,190
to, um, an autoimmune disease.
369
00:14:14,250 --> 00:14:14,310
Yeah.
370
00:14:14,310 --> 00:14:14,400
In a
371
00:14:14,610 --> 00:14:14,910
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: right.
372
00:14:14,970 --> 00:14:16,020
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
it, it was for a good reason, right?
373
00:14:16,025 --> 00:14:16,065
Mm-hmm.
374
00:14:16,145 --> 00:14:18,390
Because autoimmune diseases are
inflammation in the body, so the
375
00:14:18,405 --> 00:14:18,625
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yep.
376
00:14:18,630 --> 00:14:19,740
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
thing to do for your body is
377
00:14:19,740 --> 00:14:20,910
to lower that inflammation.
378
00:14:20,910 --> 00:14:21,240
So.
379
00:14:22,140 --> 00:14:23,640
the diet was really focused on that.
380
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,020
So she was like, I'm gonna try it.
381
00:14:25,110 --> 00:14:26,190
I'm gonna try this diet.
382
00:14:26,190 --> 00:14:28,200
I'm gonna go strict.
383
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,100
I'm not gonna break it.
384
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:30,060
I'm just gonna see what it
385
00:14:30,060 --> 00:14:30,420
does.
386
00:14:30,420 --> 00:14:33,780
So she went paleo for, I would
say a good, I don't know, year.
387
00:14:33,810 --> 00:14:34,080
Yeah,
388
00:14:34,380 --> 00:14:34,770
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Wow.
389
00:14:35,070 --> 00:14:37,470
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: And
she was in the best shape of her life.
390
00:14:37,470 --> 00:14:39,150
She was so unbelievably healthy.
391
00:14:39,150 --> 00:14:40,770
She didn't have any flareups of MS.
392
00:14:40,770 --> 00:14:41,285
Comeback.
393
00:14:41,585 --> 00:14:41,805
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Wow.
394
00:14:41,850 --> 00:14:42,515
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
was really, yeah.
395
00:14:42,515 --> 00:14:42,795
Mm-hmm.
396
00:14:42,875 --> 00:14:46,890
So that was all changed simply by
her diet, and that was a huge wake
397
00:14:46,890 --> 00:14:48,165
up call for us because we were like.
398
00:14:48,870 --> 00:14:49,500
Hold on.
399
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,740
They told us you were gonna be in a
wheelchair in a month and here you
400
00:14:52,740 --> 00:14:54,630
are going on a 10 mile run with us.
401
00:14:55,050 --> 00:14:56,040
What happened here?
402
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,810
Like what changed your future?
403
00:14:58,140 --> 00:15:02,010
We obviously, you know, had the
idea, okay, clearly it was your diet.
404
00:15:02,670 --> 00:15:03,720
How does that affect us?
405
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,070
Like, we're ahead of the game right now.
406
00:15:05,070 --> 00:15:07,620
We don't have ms, but
maybe that's in our future.
407
00:15:07,980 --> 00:15:11,160
We need to take accountability now and
kind of take control of our lives and
408
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,560
really start fueling our bodies properly.
409
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,230
Paying attention to the food that
we're going in, in, into our bodies.
410
00:15:16,260 --> 00:15:18,090
'cause if it's having that
big of an impact on you.
411
00:15:18,810 --> 00:15:22,020
doing stuff to us right now, even if
we're not experiencing the negative
412
00:15:22,020 --> 00:15:25,410
effects of the food yet, it's happening
internally that we don't see yet.
413
00:15:25,410 --> 00:15:28,440
And I would say that was probably
the biggest wake up call to
414
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,480
you put in your body matters.
415
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:30,570
Mm-hmm.
416
00:15:30,810 --> 00:15:35,310
And then eventually after, you know,
years of researching that, I think
417
00:15:35,310 --> 00:15:37,560
we were like, oh, what goes on?
418
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,460
Your body matters too.
419
00:15:38,490 --> 00:15:38,640
Mm-hmm.
420
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:39,360
Exactly.
421
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,300
And I feel like we give a lot of
credit, our family does to our
422
00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:45,270
cousin Evan, because he was very
ahead of the game in terms of.
423
00:15:45,765 --> 00:15:48,525
He's the one that told us, you know,
plastic cutting boards aren't good.
424
00:15:48,525 --> 00:15:49,755
You're eating shreds of plastic.
425
00:15:49,755 --> 00:15:51,525
Like all these things
that we were like, what?
426
00:15:52,045 --> 00:15:52,335
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
427
00:15:52,455 --> 00:15:53,235
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
we have to get rid of these.
428
00:15:53,415 --> 00:15:53,535
Yeah.
429
00:15:53,565 --> 00:15:54,645
All these little things.
430
00:15:54,645 --> 00:15:58,425
And like as well said, I think just one
thing spiral to the next, and the more
431
00:15:58,425 --> 00:16:03,645
you know, the more you start to realize
like, okay, if I am like eating plastic,
432
00:16:03,645 --> 00:16:07,965
I'm probably putting things on my body
or you know, I'm, my skin is my biggest
433
00:16:07,965 --> 00:16:09,585
organ while I'm putting on lotions.
434
00:16:09,590 --> 00:16:09,740
Mm-hmm.
435
00:16:09,825 --> 00:16:11,475
And deodorants that have
sense and then I've.
436
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,140
It just, it spiraled
437
00:16:13,140 --> 00:16:16,650
into knowing so much, and
that can be very overwhelming.
438
00:16:16,650 --> 00:16:19,440
But like, as I said, that started
back in 2016 with the food.
439
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,490
So it's been 10 years of kind of going
on this journey and learning more.
440
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,380
But I feel like starting with.
441
00:16:25,845 --> 00:16:28,755
Cleaning up your food is definitely
like the best place to start.
442
00:16:28,785 --> 00:16:28,875
Mm-hmm.
443
00:16:29,115 --> 00:16:32,355
So yeah, we were for, I mean, before
our mom was diagnosed, I don't
444
00:16:32,355 --> 00:16:35,805
think I even heard of the word
inflammation in terms of food before.
445
00:16:35,805 --> 00:16:37,605
Like I never knew like,
oh, food could be infl.
446
00:16:37,605 --> 00:16:38,685
I didn't think like that.
447
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:39,165
And I
448
00:16:39,180 --> 00:16:39,540
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Of course.
449
00:16:39,705 --> 00:16:41,055
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
we like ate healthy before.
450
00:16:41,055 --> 00:16:41,595
You know what I mean?
451
00:16:41,595 --> 00:16:41,925
I never
452
00:16:41,975 --> 00:16:42,265
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
453
00:16:42,375 --> 00:16:42,765
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
we were.
454
00:16:43,485 --> 00:16:43,965
Unhealthy.
455
00:16:43,965 --> 00:16:47,595
Like our mom never gave us
soda or crazy drinks or cereal.
456
00:16:47,595 --> 00:16:50,355
Like we were always, I feel
like the normal family.
457
00:16:50,655 --> 00:16:53,685
And then it was like, oh, whoa,
there's so much to clean out here.
458
00:16:53,685 --> 00:16:55,785
Like we saw how much our mom
wasn't eating and we're like,
459
00:16:56,175 --> 00:16:57,495
well, we can't eat that then.
460
00:16:57,495 --> 00:17:00,705
Yeah, like, but it was, it was actually
really beautiful because it wasn't
461
00:17:00,705 --> 00:17:02,385
in a restrictive way, and I think
462
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,105
that's why our relationship with clean
eating has been so beautiful because
463
00:17:06,405 --> 00:17:08,474
we saw her restriction as healing,
464
00:17:08,655 --> 00:17:10,095
not as something that was restrictive.
465
00:17:10,095 --> 00:17:12,525
So when we started clean
eating, it wasn't for.
466
00:17:12,869 --> 00:17:15,900
Weight loss or for I wanna get rid
of my gut or anything like that.
467
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:18,660
It was for, I need to make, I need
to make sure I'm healthy internally.
468
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:22,589
So I think that that was a huge
part of our healthy mindset
469
00:17:22,589 --> 00:17:24,540
around clean eating today as well.
470
00:17:24,974 --> 00:17:28,035
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: just like really
recognizing like what is good, what
471
00:17:28,035 --> 00:17:31,785
is good, and being drawn to it because
it's good, because it's good for you.
472
00:17:31,785 --> 00:17:34,425
And just, and that comes with a
lot of just like knowledge too.
473
00:17:34,425 --> 00:17:37,635
And I know it takes time to do the
research, to learn the things, to
474
00:17:37,635 --> 00:17:40,845
learn the impacts of what foods for
which bodies and stuff like that.
475
00:17:40,845 --> 00:17:44,475
And so, sounds like it was coming
definitely from like a good intention,
476
00:17:44,475 --> 00:17:47,925
well researched, um, place, which
is the best place you can be.
477
00:17:48,555 --> 00:17:49,485
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
Yeah, definitely.
478
00:17:49,530 --> 00:17:51,060
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: And so then
you guys started kind of getting
479
00:17:51,060 --> 00:17:53,940
into more just like non-toxic
like products and stuff like that.
480
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:56,730
And I, I Thank you cousin Evan.
481
00:17:56,730 --> 00:17:59,220
I mean like, we all need a
cousin, Evan, in our lives.
482
00:17:59,325 --> 00:17:59,565
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
Seriously.
483
00:18:00,510 --> 00:18:01,500
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606:
Along that journey.
484
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:02,460
And it's so true.
485
00:18:02,460 --> 00:18:04,390
You just start going down a rabbit hole
486
00:18:04,690 --> 00:18:05,110
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
Mm-hmm.
487
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,140
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: it can be
overwhelming, but I think like the
488
00:18:07,140 --> 00:18:10,230
piece of advice I always give to people
is just like, start with one thing and
489
00:18:10,230 --> 00:18:11,400
then just switch out the next thing.
490
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,000
And when you run outta one thing,
just like do some research and.
491
00:18:15,170 --> 00:18:20,000
Don't just buy the same mainstream item,
but like try and buy the non-toxic item.
492
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,810
And sometimes you're gonna have to
try a couple non-toxic brands before
493
00:18:23,810 --> 00:18:25,730
you find them when that works because
494
00:18:26,070 --> 00:18:26,580
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
Yeah.
495
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,010
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: people
are greenwashing and it's not
496
00:18:28,010 --> 00:18:31,430
actually non-toxic and you find out
later or it doesn't work as well.
497
00:18:31,430 --> 00:18:33,620
And so finding the brands that
actually work well and are
498
00:18:33,620 --> 00:18:34,790
non-toxic are really hard.
499
00:18:34,790 --> 00:18:37,220
So it's great when
creators like find that.
500
00:18:37,355 --> 00:18:40,715
For you and then it kind of cuts
out a little bit of that research.
501
00:18:40,805 --> 00:18:44,825
Um, so I'm sure you guys share some
good swaps and stuff on your page.
502
00:18:44,825 --> 00:18:45,545
People can find,
503
00:18:45,845 --> 00:18:46,440
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
Yeah, definitely.
504
00:18:46,470 --> 00:18:49,380
That's why we like to be the Guinea
pigs for people in that regard.
505
00:18:49,380 --> 00:18:50,040
I mean, we, we,
506
00:18:50,075 --> 00:18:50,495
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: yeah.
507
00:18:50,550 --> 00:18:52,110
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
we have the products that we know and
508
00:18:52,110 --> 00:18:55,770
love, like you said, we know the ones
that work and we know the deodorants
509
00:18:55,770 --> 00:18:57,180
that aren't cutting it for us.
510
00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:57,660
You know what I
511
00:18:57,710 --> 00:18:57,930
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yes.
512
00:18:57,930 --> 00:18:59,640
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
We're, we're happy to share that and I.
513
00:19:00,420 --> 00:19:03,600
Our mission is to be able to make
the decision easier for you of like,
514
00:19:03,815 --> 00:19:04,145
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
515
00:19:04,230 --> 00:19:05,970
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
needed to go get a quick swap,
516
00:19:06,420 --> 00:19:09,240
go to the everything cross girls,
what are they saying for this
517
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:10,380
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Totally.
518
00:19:10,470 --> 00:19:11,130
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
gonna try it out.
519
00:19:11,130 --> 00:19:12,420
And it might not work for them.
520
00:19:12,420 --> 00:19:12,900
Who knows?
521
00:19:12,900 --> 00:19:14,310
You might have a personal preference,
522
00:19:14,310 --> 00:19:17,040
but it's always, just like you
said, it's one thing at a time.
523
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,780
So we try and be that liaison for
people between the brands and you
524
00:19:21,780 --> 00:19:23,520
know, consumer as much as we can.
525
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:23,530
Mm-hmm.
526
00:19:23,790 --> 00:19:26,640
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: what is your
guys' wellness routine look like week to
527
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,060
week, and are there any non-negotiables
that you really try not to miss?
528
00:19:32,250 --> 00:19:32,700
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: Hmm.
529
00:19:32,910 --> 00:19:35,280
It's hard 'cause I think
it changes a lot, honestly.
530
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:35,340
Yeah.
531
00:19:35,370 --> 00:19:40,260
I don't think we're those classic wellness
girls that have a 15 step morning routine.
532
00:19:40,435 --> 00:19:40,725
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Okay.
533
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:41,610
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
never been that.
534
00:19:41,610 --> 00:19:41,790
Like
535
00:19:42,060 --> 00:19:42,330
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
536
00:19:42,690 --> 00:19:43,500
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
the wellness tools.
537
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:45,330
I think they are wonderful.
538
00:19:45,330 --> 00:19:46,470
I love my vibration plate.
539
00:19:46,470 --> 00:19:47,490
I love my red light.
540
00:19:47,490 --> 00:19:48,540
I love that stuff.
541
00:19:48,540 --> 00:19:48,870
But.
542
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:53,040
nongo non-negotiables to me
because I could be traveling,
543
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:53,910
I could be down the beach.
544
00:19:53,910 --> 00:19:55,770
I could be somewhere where
I don't have that in my
545
00:19:55,770 --> 00:19:56,190
routine.
546
00:19:56,190 --> 00:20:00,180
So I don't like to hinge
health or my wellness on.
547
00:20:00,540 --> 00:20:02,670
Tools that I need to have
in a certain location.
548
00:20:02,670 --> 00:20:04,260
I just think that's not sustainable.
549
00:20:04,410 --> 00:20:07,800
So I think our wellness routine
really comes down to, I would
550
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,720
say like holistic health really.
551
00:20:09,930 --> 00:20:12,240
You know, like we always get
our sun in every single day.
552
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,150
Even in the winter, we try to go
outside for at least 10 minutes and
553
00:20:15,150 --> 00:20:18,330
just stand in the sun, get that vitamin
D in first thing in the morning.
554
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,170
Um, we always move our bodies,
like whether it's a walk or a
555
00:20:22,170 --> 00:20:24,660
workout, a lift, a workout class.
556
00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:27,060
It's probably like the first
thing that we do in the morning
557
00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:28,020
is move our bodies.
558
00:20:28,020 --> 00:20:28,620
I think it just.
559
00:20:29,610 --> 00:20:31,440
Helps us more mentally
than it does physically.
560
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:31,590
Truly.
561
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:31,890
I was gonna
562
00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:32,190
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
563
00:20:32,370 --> 00:20:35,310
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: like
number one non-negotiable because you can
564
00:20:35,310 --> 00:20:40,020
tell if we haven't moved in the morning,
even if it's a nice walk, we got pen up
565
00:20:40,020 --> 00:20:42,660
energy and it's not always good energy.
566
00:20:42,660 --> 00:20:44,670
So it's, it's definitely you can tell.
567
00:20:44,670 --> 00:20:47,640
So that's something that has
just with us for so long.
568
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,970
We've been in such a habit of
moving our bodies that if we
569
00:20:50,970 --> 00:20:53,010
don't, we crave it so much.
570
00:20:53,010 --> 00:20:55,267
So that's like a hundred percent
even if we are traveling.
571
00:20:55,355 --> 00:20:55,395
Mm-hmm.
572
00:20:55,475 --> 00:20:56,035
Like we are the people that.
573
00:20:56,370 --> 00:20:58,890
If we're going to a new
place, we like to walk around.
574
00:20:58,890 --> 00:21:02,640
We like to, if there is a hotel with a
gym, can we squeeze in a little workout?
575
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:03,000
Yeah.
576
00:21:03,060 --> 00:21:07,110
Not because we want to be skinny,
but because we need it for our
577
00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:08,850
mental clarity and also just our
578
00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:10,710
bodies grade it so much.
579
00:21:10,710 --> 00:21:12,810
Like we know it makes us
better for the rest of the day.
580
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:13,170
Yeah.
581
00:21:13,590 --> 00:21:17,700
Um, I also would say, which you wouldn't
really think is wellness, but Kati
582
00:21:17,910 --> 00:21:20,880
and I are big believers that it's a
huge part of your wellness routine.
583
00:21:20,910 --> 00:21:21,480
Prayer.
584
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,550
Something that we will
never miss in our day.
585
00:21:23,550 --> 00:21:26,280
Recently, we've been actually
starting our day with it more than.
586
00:21:27,030 --> 00:21:28,140
a workout and then coming to it.
587
00:21:28,140 --> 00:21:30,960
We've kind of been finding time
in the morning for it, but we
588
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,870
personally think prayer is so, like
such a big part of your wellness
589
00:21:33,870 --> 00:21:37,470
routine because everything in your
life stems from your spiritual life.
590
00:21:37,470 --> 00:21:39,180
Like that is our big pillar.
591
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,800
And the workouts, what we eat, everything
is to honor God and to glorify his
592
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,340
name and to become the best version
of ourselves and who he has in store
593
00:21:47,340 --> 00:21:49,020
for us, who he wants us to become.
594
00:21:49,230 --> 00:21:52,440
And prayer is just the foundation
of that because if we're not
595
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,000
communicating with him, if we don't.
596
00:21:54,255 --> 00:21:54,825
Talk to him.
597
00:21:54,825 --> 00:21:58,815
If we're not telling him, you know, our
day to day, we kind of fall away from him.
598
00:21:58,815 --> 00:21:59,085
Right?
599
00:21:59,085 --> 00:21:59,295
He's
600
00:21:59,295 --> 00:22:00,405
never falling away from us.
601
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,265
We, we place the distance between us.
602
00:22:02,265 --> 00:22:05,385
So I would say that's probably like the
biggest non-negotiable to make sure we're
603
00:22:05,385 --> 00:22:09,855
always in tune with what he's asking of us
and just really trying to follow his plan.
604
00:22:09,915 --> 00:22:12,975
It's probably the number one thing
that helps me, like let go of my plan.
605
00:22:13,095 --> 00:22:16,875
Like if I go a day without prayer,
I'm like living in my own world,
606
00:22:16,875 --> 00:22:18,320
grasping, like you said, you said.
607
00:22:18,325 --> 00:22:18,345
Mm-hmm.
608
00:22:18,585 --> 00:22:19,905
Grasping on the things I want.
609
00:22:19,905 --> 00:22:20,235
So.
610
00:22:20,580 --> 00:22:22,380
I know it doesn't seem like
wellness, but it really is.
611
00:22:23,377 --> 00:22:27,390
I've been starting my morning and I think
Isabel, you introduced this like very
612
00:22:27,390 --> 00:22:32,520
short prayer of, Lord, just get in my
head before anything else does today.
613
00:22:32,790 --> 00:22:35,850
So like I said, I'm a fitness instructor,
so a lot of the mornings I'm waking
614
00:22:35,850 --> 00:22:37,590
up and I'm going right to the studio.
615
00:22:37,770 --> 00:22:41,040
So a lot of the time it doesn't
feel like, oh, I have time for
616
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,420
my own routine in the morning.
617
00:22:42,420 --> 00:22:44,970
And you know, that's just a
really funny excuse mm-hmm.
618
00:22:45,210 --> 00:22:46,590
That I make for myself sometimes.
619
00:22:46,875 --> 00:22:48,855
So recently I've just been
saying that quick prayer.
620
00:22:48,855 --> 00:22:52,125
I've been asking him, you know,
give me the patience I need today.
621
00:22:52,215 --> 00:22:56,535
Help me stay calm and present and you
know, capable and all these decisions.
622
00:22:56,535 --> 00:22:58,695
That is one I have to make,
like whatever it is we're doing.
623
00:22:58,755 --> 00:23:02,295
And I feel like even just saying
it takes literally like 15 seconds.
624
00:23:02,295 --> 00:23:05,925
That prayer, sometimes maybe
even less, has helped me so much.
625
00:23:05,925 --> 00:23:09,285
So if anyone is listening is like, I
don't know how they squeeze all that in.
626
00:23:09,525 --> 00:23:11,932
I have been there and I've
even just started implementing
627
00:23:12,075 --> 00:23:13,065
that and it's helped me.
628
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,180
Even like, see God more throughout my
day and like, see, okay, maybe he's
629
00:23:18,180 --> 00:23:20,100
testing my patients in this situation.
630
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,090
Let me channel the strength that
he's giving me right now to stay
631
00:23:24,090 --> 00:23:29,190
patient, to stay calm and not be so
reactive to this very minor situation
632
00:23:29,190 --> 00:23:30,870
that doesn't need a reaction.
633
00:23:32,010 --> 00:23:32,820
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: No, I love that.
634
00:23:32,820 --> 00:23:33,870
Thank you for sharing that.
635
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:34,770
Yeah.
636
00:23:34,770 --> 00:23:35,675
Were you gonna say one more time?
637
00:23:35,675 --> 00:23:37,350
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
I, I can't leave out, like, I
638
00:23:37,380 --> 00:23:37,830
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Bring it on?
639
00:23:37,950 --> 00:23:38,790
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
I, how did I not mention this?
640
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,890
Lemon olive oil shot.
641
00:23:41,310 --> 00:23:44,010
I will say that's like the one
thing I would say in our wellness
642
00:23:44,010 --> 00:23:45,420
routine that we take every morning.
643
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:46,230
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Okay.
644
00:23:46,530 --> 00:23:48,210
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
It's one to two tablespoons of
645
00:23:48,210 --> 00:23:49,535
olive oil and then half a lemon.
646
00:23:50,610 --> 00:23:51,510
One, it tastes so good.
647
00:23:51,510 --> 00:23:52,740
Everyone's like, how
do you even like that?
648
00:23:52,740 --> 00:23:53,005
I'm like, it taste.
649
00:23:53,065 --> 00:23:54,570
If you get a good olive oil, it'll taste
650
00:23:54,570 --> 00:23:54,990
amazing.
651
00:23:55,015 --> 00:23:55,295
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: mean, all
652
00:23:55,410 --> 00:23:56,250
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
need a good olive oil
653
00:23:56,395 --> 00:23:56,615
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: yes.
654
00:23:56,670 --> 00:23:58,140
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
need it to be rich in polyphenol.
655
00:23:58,140 --> 00:24:02,970
So an cold pressed, extra virgin organic
olive oil is ideal, um, for you to
656
00:24:02,970 --> 00:24:06,420
really receive the benefits because it's
great for inflammation, for glowy skin,
657
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:07,140
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Mm-hmm.
658
00:24:07,260 --> 00:24:07,980
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
everything, like every
659
00:24:07,980 --> 00:24:08,730
benefit in the book.
660
00:24:08,790 --> 00:24:12,030
That's what this shot does, and it's
so simple when you just start your day
661
00:24:12,030 --> 00:24:15,210
with it on an empty stomach and take
that like it's so good for your system.
662
00:24:15,915 --> 00:24:16,875
would say we swear by that.
663
00:24:16,905 --> 00:24:17,085
Yeah.
664
00:24:17,085 --> 00:24:19,755
Another thing that we now crave in
the morning, which it sounds crazy
665
00:24:19,755 --> 00:24:22,965
to crave olive oil first thing
in the morning, but it is one of
666
00:24:22,965 --> 00:24:24,255
those things that I love doing.
667
00:24:24,285 --> 00:24:24,855
It's like, Hmm.
668
00:24:24,885 --> 00:24:27,135
Nice little, like kick to the morning.
669
00:24:27,135 --> 00:24:27,195
Yeah.
670
00:24:27,195 --> 00:24:28,035
That's our type of shot.
671
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:29,690
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: I love it.
672
00:24:29,690 --> 00:24:30,830
I'm definitely gonna try that.
673
00:24:30,830 --> 00:24:33,830
I saw that on your guys' page, so I was
hoping you guys were gonna bring that up.
674
00:24:33,830 --> 00:24:37,010
I'm like, this seems to be
like the thing they stand on.
675
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:37,730
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
Yeah.
676
00:24:38,030 --> 00:24:38,330
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: so
677
00:24:39,315 --> 00:24:41,565
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: It
really is, and I'm happy that I'm seeing.
678
00:24:42,225 --> 00:24:44,415
Yeah, I'm having them seeing
people talk about too.
679
00:24:44,415 --> 00:24:44,625
'cause I'm
680
00:24:44,775 --> 00:24:45,065
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: yeah.
681
00:24:45,135 --> 00:24:46,275
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
this isn't one of those wellness,
682
00:24:46,335 --> 00:24:47,295
at least for me personally.
683
00:24:47,295 --> 00:24:48,525
Like I truly love it.
684
00:24:48,575 --> 00:24:48,645
So
685
00:24:48,875 --> 00:24:49,165
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
686
00:24:49,465 --> 00:24:51,285
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
happy to see other people post it.
687
00:24:51,315 --> 00:24:53,655
'cause whenever I do, I'm like,
guys, they're not lying to you.
688
00:24:53,655 --> 00:24:54,555
They're speaking the truth.
689
00:24:54,555 --> 00:24:54,945
It is.
690
00:24:54,975 --> 00:24:55,065
Mm-hmm.
691
00:24:55,305 --> 00:24:55,965
Very beneficial.
692
00:24:55,965 --> 00:24:56,715
And it's amazing.
693
00:24:56,715 --> 00:24:57,285
So, well,
694
00:24:57,330 --> 00:24:57,690
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
695
00:24:58,035 --> 00:24:58,635
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
things you can do.
696
00:24:58,635 --> 00:25:01,905
I feel like everyone, you know, they're so
busy in their days, like, how can I level
697
00:25:01,905 --> 00:25:04,065
up my health in such like a 32nd thing?
698
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,250
Lemon olive oil shot.
699
00:25:05,310 --> 00:25:05,460
It's
700
00:25:05,550 --> 00:25:05,850
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Easy.
701
00:25:06,150 --> 00:25:06,600
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
complex.
702
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,180
You can even, like, literally, I
don't know, buy lemon juice if you
703
00:25:09,180 --> 00:25:09,895
don't even wanna squeeze lemon.
704
00:25:09,895 --> 00:25:11,190
I was say, it's not like it's $500.
705
00:25:11,190 --> 00:25:13,140
It's cost per like, effective here.
706
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:13,320
It's
707
00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:14,070
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yes.
708
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,960
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
Um, other things, other things I think
709
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,490
that we do just like a few other things.
710
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:17,850
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
711
00:25:18,180 --> 00:25:18,360
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
plate.
712
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:19,860
We do do that every single day.
713
00:25:20,070 --> 00:25:23,790
Um, we're big fans of it just for
recovery in a terms of workout.
714
00:25:23,790 --> 00:25:26,520
Like the way that it, you
know, what is it called
715
00:25:26,610 --> 00:25:27,570
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: What does it do?
716
00:25:28,015 --> 00:25:29,220
I, I dunno, anything about it?
717
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,020
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: so
basically when you get on it, it's just
718
00:25:31,020 --> 00:25:34,620
like a, a small vibration, which like,
I know it looks like you're just like
719
00:25:34,620 --> 00:25:36,480
shaking your body, but it's actually the.
720
00:25:36,825 --> 00:25:40,065
Smallness of the vibration that
allows your lymphatic system to
721
00:25:40,065 --> 00:25:42,885
really wake up and like move the
blood throughout your system.
722
00:25:43,035 --> 00:25:46,275
So it's really good for dep puffing
and lymphatic drainage just because
723
00:25:46,275 --> 00:25:50,295
the micro movements of the vibration
on your feet travel all throughout your
724
00:25:50,295 --> 00:25:53,685
body and really stimulate everything
like up to your armpits underneath the.
725
00:25:54,510 --> 00:25:55,590
lymph nodes right there.
726
00:25:55,740 --> 00:25:57,180
So it's really, really good for that.
727
00:25:57,180 --> 00:26:01,260
It's really great for muscle recovery
and rest just because your muscles are
728
00:26:01,260 --> 00:26:04,380
constantly, especially when you go to the
gym a lot like you're, you're constantly
729
00:26:04,380 --> 00:26:05,280
straining them.
730
00:26:05,460 --> 00:26:09,570
When you're on the vibration plate, you're
not doing any movements that are exactly.
731
00:26:09,885 --> 00:26:13,125
You know, working your muscles, but
it's kind of a tiny workout for like
732
00:26:13,125 --> 00:26:14,625
your calfs that you don't even realize.
733
00:26:14,625 --> 00:26:17,205
So it just loosens them,
like shakes everything out.
734
00:26:17,205 --> 00:26:19,005
Feels like, it's a great way to put it.
735
00:26:19,005 --> 00:26:20,145
It shakes everything out.
736
00:26:20,235 --> 00:26:23,625
So I love doing it like right when we
get home from the gym or even before
737
00:26:23,625 --> 00:26:26,445
the gym to like wake up my body,
especially if I'm doing a leg day,
738
00:26:26,595 --> 00:26:28,095
just because it stimulates everything.
739
00:26:28,455 --> 00:26:31,515
And I honestly, when we first read
about it, I thought it was a scam.
740
00:26:31,545 --> 00:26:32,475
I was like, there's no way.
741
00:26:33,255 --> 00:26:34,695
There's no way this plate works.
742
00:26:34,695 --> 00:26:36,255
Like what is a vibration plate?
743
00:26:36,405 --> 00:26:40,515
And then we used it for, we did like this
trial, we used it for 30 days and we were
744
00:26:40,515 --> 00:26:42,900
like, wait, I feel so much different.
745
00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:43,220
Mm-hmm.
746
00:26:43,420 --> 00:26:45,405
I feel so much more
like even clear minded.
747
00:26:45,405 --> 00:26:47,625
I just felt like I didn't know if
it was one of those things that I
748
00:26:47,625 --> 00:26:49,155
was playing a mental effect on me.
749
00:26:49,155 --> 00:26:49,575
But I
750
00:26:49,575 --> 00:26:50,565
just loved it.
751
00:26:50,625 --> 00:26:52,845
And then I went down the shore
for a week and I didn't have
752
00:26:52,845 --> 00:26:54,705
it, and I felt so much more.
753
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,630
like my rings weren't fitting.
754
00:26:57,630 --> 00:26:59,700
I was like, oh my gosh, why
am I so puffy right now?
755
00:26:59,700 --> 00:27:00,000
I feel
756
00:27:00,060 --> 00:27:00,510
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Whoa.
757
00:27:01,530 --> 00:27:02,700
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
And I was like, that's the only thing
758
00:27:02,700 --> 00:27:04,890
in my routine that changed was that
I didn't have the vibration plate.
759
00:27:04,890 --> 00:27:05,970
So I feel like we kind
760
00:27:05,970 --> 00:27:06,260
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Dang.
761
00:27:06,420 --> 00:27:07,020
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
it now too.
762
00:27:07,020 --> 00:27:07,030
Mm-hmm.
763
00:27:07,995 --> 00:27:08,745
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: That's awesome.
764
00:27:09,345 --> 00:27:11,385
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
But you can do a natural thing where
765
00:27:11,385 --> 00:27:14,745
you just, like, we don't do the natural
alternative because I can't just stand
766
00:27:14,745 --> 00:27:16,395
there for like 10 minutes and jump.
767
00:27:16,395 --> 00:27:17,445
I, I just don't have the up.
768
00:27:17,895 --> 00:27:18,075
Yeah.
769
00:27:18,075 --> 00:27:19,155
Like people, you know, like
jump, they like swing their
770
00:27:19,155 --> 00:27:20,025
arms around, which is great.
771
00:27:20,025 --> 00:27:23,480
I'm like, listen, if you don't wanna
invest in one, they can be expensive.
772
00:27:23,780 --> 00:27:24,070
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah,
773
00:27:24,225 --> 00:27:26,145
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: like
not looking for another tool in your home,
774
00:27:26,445 --> 00:27:26,805
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: sure.
775
00:27:27,105 --> 00:27:28,305
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
can find natural ways to do it.
776
00:27:28,305 --> 00:27:28,395
Mm-hmm.
777
00:27:28,395 --> 00:27:30,475
And I feel like that's is one's
philosophy always is like.
778
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:35,010
You can invest in products that
can help and that's amazing.
779
00:27:35,010 --> 00:27:37,950
But if you're not looking to invest or
you don't have the money for it, it can
780
00:27:37,950 --> 00:27:39,750
be very cost prohibitive, a lot of things.
781
00:27:40,470 --> 00:27:42,480
can you find natural ways to
make it something that like,
782
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,600
okay, if I was traveling I can
shake out my body and do it.
783
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,450
And you know, you gotta, like you
were saying, even with the non-toxic
784
00:27:48,450 --> 00:27:51,300
living, like you have to take
these things one day, one step,
785
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:52,800
one day at a time with all of it.
786
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,210
You can't just overwhelm yourself.
787
00:27:54,690 --> 00:27:56,850
Take all 15 different things
and throw it in your morning.
788
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,370
'cause your morning will
be chaotic and it's awful.
789
00:28:00,765 --> 00:28:01,125
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
790
00:28:01,185 --> 00:28:01,965
No, totally.
791
00:28:02,085 --> 00:28:03,195
Well, thanks for sharing all those.
792
00:28:03,195 --> 00:28:06,945
I definitely am going to look
it up because that, that's
793
00:28:06,945 --> 00:28:07,995
like pretty hard evidence.
794
00:28:07,995 --> 00:28:09,555
So I've been seeing it on my Instagram.
795
00:28:09,855 --> 00:28:10,095
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
I know.
796
00:28:10,545 --> 00:28:13,785
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: I really wonder
like what people's experiences with it.
797
00:28:13,785 --> 00:28:14,775
So it was so cool to hear.
798
00:28:15,075 --> 00:28:15,255
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
Yeah.
799
00:28:16,045 --> 00:28:16,335
Yeah,
800
00:28:16,650 --> 00:28:18,840
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: So you guys
mentioned a little bit about like, okay,
801
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,100
you know, when you're buying the olive
oil, it's cold press, it's organic,
802
00:28:23,130 --> 00:28:24,870
it's, you know, all these things.
803
00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:27,300
And you're like, yeah, it does cost
a little bit more, but it's worth it.
804
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:31,170
So talk to me about your approach to clean
eating, because I know cost constraints
805
00:28:31,170 --> 00:28:36,390
are a lot of people's, um, hesitation
when it comes to buying good food,
806
00:28:36,390 --> 00:28:38,700
organic products or the healthier brands.
807
00:28:38,940 --> 00:28:42,720
What's your guys' approach or philosophy
when it comes to clean eating?
808
00:28:43,579 --> 00:28:45,289
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: I
think even just going off of everything
809
00:28:45,289 --> 00:28:49,689
we just said, when we look at our
health and everything that we have
810
00:28:49,689 --> 00:28:54,219
to not have to, but get to invest
in, comes from a place of investment.
811
00:28:54,219 --> 00:28:54,999
We don't look at it as.
812
00:28:56,034 --> 00:28:57,594
I look at it as an exchange, right?
813
00:28:57,594 --> 00:29:01,704
Like if I am investing in organic
produce, it's an exchange for
814
00:29:01,704 --> 00:29:03,444
my health for the long term.
815
00:29:03,654 --> 00:29:06,864
It's an exchange for a healthier future.
816
00:29:07,014 --> 00:29:12,564
I either invest now or I pay later
at the doctors when I'm 60, 70, 80
817
00:29:12,564 --> 00:29:14,334
years old, and I don't wanna be that.
818
00:29:14,664 --> 00:29:17,784
And you know, we've, we've been around
so many people, like our grandmother
819
00:29:17,784 --> 00:29:21,024
was in and outta the hospital, the
doctors, when she got older, and
820
00:29:21,024 --> 00:29:23,844
we saw what that was like, I don't
wanna be in that position, not.
821
00:29:24,564 --> 00:29:27,714
Dissing on that, but we were lucky
to have an example of maybe what
822
00:29:27,714 --> 00:29:29,094
we don't want for our future.
823
00:29:29,334 --> 00:29:30,474
And I think it can be really hard.
824
00:29:30,474 --> 00:29:33,294
'cause you know, you go to the store and
it's like when I buy all the organic, or
825
00:29:33,294 --> 00:29:37,254
like you said, even the healthier brands
of deodorant and skincare, they are more
826
00:29:37,254 --> 00:29:37,794
expensive.
827
00:29:37,794 --> 00:29:40,644
And then you go to check out
and you're like, goodness, it
828
00:29:40,644 --> 00:29:43,854
would be so much cheaper if I
just didn't buy organic grapes.
829
00:29:44,064 --> 00:29:44,154
Mm-hmm.
830
00:29:44,394 --> 00:29:46,104
It's literally like a
$3 difference, right?
831
00:29:46,104 --> 00:29:47,874
And it's like, is this really important?
832
00:29:47,874 --> 00:29:51,534
But then we go back to all the
knowledge that we've learned about.
833
00:29:51,924 --> 00:29:55,854
If you don't buy organic, the
pesticides, the just what that's doing
834
00:29:55,854 --> 00:29:59,364
in your body, and it's a reminder
of like, I'm not wasting money.
835
00:29:59,364 --> 00:30:00,444
I'm investing money.
836
00:30:00,444 --> 00:30:03,144
Like, I truthfully feel like
we look at it as if I was
837
00:30:03,144 --> 00:30:05,229
investing into the stock market.
838
00:30:05,334 --> 00:30:05,484
Yeah.
839
00:30:05,529 --> 00:30:05,919
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
840
00:30:05,994 --> 00:30:06,219
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
food.
841
00:30:06,354 --> 00:30:06,414
Yeah.
842
00:30:06,414 --> 00:30:07,824
And with the products we buy.
843
00:30:08,154 --> 00:30:08,514
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
844
00:30:08,844 --> 00:30:10,164
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
I mean, it's, it's definitely not,
845
00:30:10,584 --> 00:30:11,964
it's not easy, it's not cheap.
846
00:30:11,964 --> 00:30:15,624
But we also know, okay, I need
to allocate more money for these
847
00:30:15,624 --> 00:30:18,474
preferences that I have in terms
of the lifestyle I wanna live.
848
00:30:19,314 --> 00:30:21,834
Can't spend money every
weekend going to the bar.
849
00:30:21,834 --> 00:30:24,984
So I spend money here instead
into that type of situation.
850
00:30:25,314 --> 00:30:28,974
And also feel like you can
approach it in a way of like, I
851
00:30:28,974 --> 00:30:30,714
don't need to buy it all either.
852
00:30:30,744 --> 00:30:31,344
You know what I mean?
853
00:30:31,344 --> 00:30:34,494
Like you can make a lot of things at home.
854
00:30:34,494 --> 00:30:37,494
Like for example, peanut butter
healthier or organic, peanut
855
00:30:37,494 --> 00:30:38,604
butter is more expensive.
856
00:30:38,604 --> 00:30:41,184
The jars, sometimes I go
and I'm like, this is crazy.
857
00:30:41,184 --> 00:30:43,164
I can buy a bag of organic peanuts.
858
00:30:43,509 --> 00:30:46,269
Roast them myself if I want to,
or just blend them in a blender.
859
00:30:46,269 --> 00:30:49,629
And I feel like you, once you realize
you can do a lot yourself too,
860
00:30:50,289 --> 00:30:52,869
it all, it makes it more
manageable in terms of money.
861
00:30:52,869 --> 00:30:56,379
I mean, I know it's hard, it's also
very like person specific, but I get it.
862
00:30:56,829 --> 00:31:00,369
It's just that like flip of the
script in your mind of, is this
863
00:31:00,579 --> 00:31:02,079
worthy investment for my future?
864
00:31:02,079 --> 00:31:04,209
I really have to put my
future self into perspective.
865
00:31:04,209 --> 00:31:04,299
Mm-hmm.
866
00:31:04,689 --> 00:31:06,249
Because you're not gonna
see the benefits right now.
867
00:31:06,249 --> 00:31:08,829
Like, I think that's the hardest thing to
get over is you're spending more money,
868
00:31:09,069 --> 00:31:12,279
but you're not gonna see the, the result
of that money being spent right now.
869
00:31:12,429 --> 00:31:15,189
You'll see it in the future when you
are healthy, when you can pick up your
870
00:31:15,189 --> 00:31:19,779
grandchildren, when you can go on 10 mile
walks like that is really where it shows.
871
00:31:19,779 --> 00:31:22,989
So it's almost like putting
aside that instantly gratifying
872
00:31:22,989 --> 00:31:26,169
solution and really delaying the
gratification for the long term.
873
00:31:26,514 --> 00:31:27,774
Future is what I like to say.
874
00:31:27,774 --> 00:31:30,684
And just making it a priority, I
feel like, which always kind of
875
00:31:30,684 --> 00:31:33,744
sounds harsh because you know, I
don't know everyone's circumstances,
876
00:31:33,744 --> 00:31:35,634
but really making it a priority.
877
00:31:35,634 --> 00:31:36,834
Where are you spending your money?
878
00:31:36,834 --> 00:31:39,084
You know, can you afford to get
your nails done this month, but you
879
00:31:39,384 --> 00:31:39,684
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Right.
880
00:31:40,014 --> 00:31:40,764
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
nice groceries.
881
00:31:40,764 --> 00:31:42,474
I know that sounds really
harsh, but it's like
882
00:31:42,684 --> 00:31:43,074
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: No.
883
00:31:43,134 --> 00:31:43,764
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
to ask myself
884
00:31:43,974 --> 00:31:44,364
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah,
885
00:31:44,964 --> 00:31:45,594
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
If I'm getting my
886
00:31:45,679 --> 00:31:45,799
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: I.
887
00:31:45,834 --> 00:31:48,174
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: done
like that is my priority over my health.
888
00:31:48,234 --> 00:31:48,354
Mm-hmm.
889
00:31:48,594 --> 00:31:52,554
I need to really start respecting and
honoring this body God gave me by fueling
890
00:31:52,554 --> 00:31:56,634
it properly, by caring about what I put in
then rather than focusing on my physical
891
00:31:56,634 --> 00:32:00,054
appearance and the external world and,
and what I wanna look like in this world.
892
00:32:00,174 --> 00:32:03,894
So I just feel like really honing
in on what is your true priority and
893
00:32:03,894 --> 00:32:07,614
focusing your attention there also
allows you to almost make that investment
894
00:32:07,614 --> 00:32:10,069
a little bit easier when you give
yourself that hard truth, at least.
895
00:32:10,464 --> 00:32:11,394
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah, totally.
896
00:32:11,394 --> 00:32:16,434
And I think that it is an absolutely valid
question to ask because there are so many,
897
00:32:16,434 --> 00:32:20,994
just like al already, like consumeristic
standards that our culture has already.
898
00:32:20,994 --> 00:32:23,604
And so it's like, yeah, we're spending
a hundred bucks on yoga pants, we're
899
00:32:23,604 --> 00:32:27,894
spending, you know, 80 bucks on getting
our nails done every month or hundreds
900
00:32:27,894 --> 00:32:29,994
of dollars on our hair or whatever.
901
00:32:30,144 --> 00:32:34,524
And so when you really ask yourself
like, okay, what are the priorities.
902
00:32:34,699 --> 00:32:39,619
And view it as an investment as you're
saying, like, then you really start to
903
00:32:39,619 --> 00:32:43,129
make some decisions there and it starts
to make sense why you're gonna put your
904
00:32:43,304 --> 00:32:44,989
dollars there versus somewhere else.
905
00:32:45,349 --> 00:32:49,549
Um, if you had to pick and choose,
one thing my dad always said was like,
906
00:32:49,549 --> 00:32:54,019
you're either going to spend the money
on good food or you're going to spend
907
00:32:54,019 --> 00:32:55,549
the money in medical bills later.
908
00:32:55,549 --> 00:32:57,109
Like you, you pick.
909
00:32:57,169 --> 00:33:01,249
And our, especially American
society, I think like really
910
00:33:01,249 --> 00:33:04,069
proves that, um, given just like.
911
00:33:04,489 --> 00:33:08,239
All the disease that we have in
our country, so super important.
912
00:33:08,239 --> 00:33:11,449
Hopefully that's encouraging to people,
although I know it's sometimes kind
913
00:33:11,449 --> 00:33:13,519
of like a, like a hard truth to hear.
914
00:33:13,539 --> 00:33:14,859
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
915
00:33:14,859 --> 00:33:17,889
And it doesn't make it easy,
easier knowing that too, but it's
916
00:33:18,019 --> 00:33:18,229
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
917
00:33:18,549 --> 00:33:19,989
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
reminding yourself and just take
918
00:33:19,989 --> 00:33:21,669
it like, like we keep saying,
919
00:33:21,919 --> 00:33:22,279
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
920
00:33:22,329 --> 00:33:22,839
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
thing at a time.
921
00:33:22,914 --> 00:33:23,334
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Mm-hmm.
922
00:33:23,424 --> 00:33:24,594
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
You don't have to have the perfect
923
00:33:24,594 --> 00:33:26,214
grocery hall every single time.
924
00:33:26,214 --> 00:33:29,724
Take it one product at a time,
make the swap one thing at a time,
925
00:33:29,774 --> 00:33:30,064
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
926
00:33:30,324 --> 00:33:31,854
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
it just becomes such second nature
927
00:33:31,854 --> 00:33:34,824
that becomes a non-negotiable for you.
928
00:33:35,604 --> 00:33:35,934
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
929
00:33:36,204 --> 00:33:38,424
So what about like ingredient labels?
930
00:33:38,424 --> 00:33:41,964
What are some of the red flag
ingredients you guys look for on food
931
00:33:41,964 --> 00:33:45,204
labels and recommend avoiding, so our
listeners can just kind of walk away
932
00:33:45,204 --> 00:33:46,439
with a couple things to look for.
933
00:33:47,124 --> 00:33:49,374
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
Yeah, I would say the number one
934
00:33:49,374 --> 00:33:51,564
thing that we like see right away and
935
00:33:51,719 --> 00:33:51,839
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: I.
936
00:33:51,924 --> 00:33:53,664
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
product down immediately is seed oils.
937
00:33:53,964 --> 00:33:56,514
I know that one's talked
about a lot, but they are just
938
00:33:56,544 --> 00:33:57,774
absolutely terrible for your body.
939
00:33:57,804 --> 00:34:00,534
Like there is not one
beneficial seed oil out there.
940
00:34:00,744 --> 00:34:03,174
They are so high in Omega six fats, which.
941
00:34:03,499 --> 00:34:06,259
Too much like your body needs
omega six fats, but when you have
942
00:34:06,259 --> 00:34:09,139
too much of them, it causes an
intense amount of inflammation,
943
00:34:09,319 --> 00:34:10,728
which leads to thing like diseases.
944
00:34:10,728 --> 00:34:12,829
That was the leading
cause of our mom's ms.
945
00:34:12,829 --> 00:34:13,188
Right?
946
00:34:13,339 --> 00:34:17,059
So when we intake too much of those
fats, we're putting our body into.
947
00:34:17,469 --> 00:34:20,349
Really a fight or flight mode
into inflammation mode, into just
948
00:34:20,349 --> 00:34:22,329
like an unhealthy way to live.
949
00:34:22,329 --> 00:34:26,079
So anytime we see those in an, in
a, on a label, just an immediately
950
00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:29,289
put down, because they're highly
processed with high temperatures and
951
00:34:29,289 --> 00:34:30,969
a high vat, like we don't need that.
952
00:34:31,119 --> 00:34:36,579
Our mom always reminds us that
canola oils existed for car engines.
953
00:34:36,609 --> 00:34:39,759
Literally she's, she's
like, this became a thing.
954
00:34:40,344 --> 00:34:44,724
Forever ago to be used for car engines
and now we're putting it in our food.
955
00:34:44,784 --> 00:34:44,873
Mm-hmm.
956
00:34:45,684 --> 00:34:48,143
you're not digesting, that, your
body's not getting rid of that.
957
00:34:48,143 --> 00:34:50,244
So that's like our number one.
958
00:34:50,244 --> 00:34:53,123
And I feel like that even
started like reading labels.
959
00:34:53,123 --> 00:34:54,563
It started with seed oils for us.
960
00:34:54,563 --> 00:34:54,623
Yeah.
961
00:34:54,623 --> 00:34:57,474
So I always say that can be a very
simple thing if you don't know
962
00:34:57,474 --> 00:34:59,334
what anything else is, that's okay.
963
00:34:59,574 --> 00:35:01,194
Names can be crazy on labels.
964
00:35:01,194 --> 00:35:02,574
It's like, wait, what the heck is that?
965
00:35:02,994 --> 00:35:05,544
If you see anything that's a
seed oil, just put it down.
966
00:35:05,544 --> 00:35:06,774
That's canola oil.
967
00:35:06,984 --> 00:35:09,204
Sunflower oil, safflower oil.
968
00:35:09,204 --> 00:35:10,284
Peanut oil.
969
00:35:10,344 --> 00:35:10,974
Soybean oil.
970
00:35:11,064 --> 00:35:11,364
Yeah.
971
00:35:11,364 --> 00:35:14,014
So try and stick to
avocado, oil, vegetable.
972
00:35:14,094 --> 00:35:14,874
Yeah, that's bad.
973
00:35:15,174 --> 00:35:18,954
Um, so try and stick to avocado oil
or extra virgin olive oil, coconut
974
00:35:18,954 --> 00:35:21,519
oil, beef towel, things like that.
975
00:35:21,534 --> 00:35:21,744
In,
976
00:35:21,819 --> 00:35:22,179
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
977
00:35:23,034 --> 00:35:23,979
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
the better are definitely much better.
978
00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:27,354
And a lot of people will say that
those are higher in calories or higher
979
00:35:27,354 --> 00:35:30,084
in fats, but they're fats that your
body wants is what I always say.
980
00:35:30,084 --> 00:35:30,094
Mm-hmm.
981
00:35:30,939 --> 00:35:32,109
You can't really pay attention.
982
00:35:32,109 --> 00:35:34,989
It's, it's more important to
drop the weight of calories.
983
00:35:35,289 --> 00:35:36,729
Like if you're, if you're,
you know what I mean?
984
00:35:36,729 --> 00:35:40,509
Like, if you're, okay, I want a lower
calorie item, but it's worse ingredients,
985
00:35:40,539 --> 00:35:42,189
what's the, what's even the benefit there?
986
00:35:42,189 --> 00:35:42,279
Mm-hmm.
987
00:35:42,294 --> 00:35:42,624
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah,
988
00:35:42,669 --> 00:35:44,379
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
more calories for better ingredients
989
00:35:44,379 --> 00:35:47,709
because that's, that's more optimal
for my health and my body's function.
990
00:35:47,709 --> 00:35:49,479
So I always stand by that too.
991
00:35:49,659 --> 00:35:51,429
I would say another ingredient is.
992
00:35:51,924 --> 00:35:52,374
Artificial.
993
00:35:52,374 --> 00:35:53,334
No, not artificial flavors.
994
00:35:53,334 --> 00:35:53,694
What is it?
995
00:35:53,874 --> 00:35:54,539
Yeah, food dies.
996
00:35:54,539 --> 00:35:54,594
Food dies.
997
00:35:54,594 --> 00:35:55,134
Food dies.
998
00:35:55,824 --> 00:35:57,294
gonna say artificial
flavors, those are bad too.
999
00:35:57,564 --> 00:36:01,444
Um, but food dies really just because
that is pretty much in everything.
1000
00:36:01,744 --> 00:36:01,964
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yep.
1001
00:36:02,034 --> 00:36:04,734
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
Yellow five, red 40, blue 40, all
1002
00:36:04,734 --> 00:36:08,874
these dyes that are think of it as
like a chemical bomb for your stomach.
1003
00:36:08,874 --> 00:36:08,934
So.
1004
00:36:10,419 --> 00:36:13,659
A food could be healthy and then it has
that die, it's immediately unhealthy,
1005
00:36:13,659 --> 00:36:15,339
like it's just really bad for you.
1006
00:36:15,579 --> 00:36:18,999
Um, they, they also have like a ton of
side effects on your brain and mental
1007
00:36:18,999 --> 00:36:21,639
health in children, especially, I
say especially in children, like
1008
00:36:21,639 --> 00:36:23,169
you see children eating Skittles
1009
00:36:23,319 --> 00:36:25,549
and there'll be, uh, one, like one kid.
1010
00:36:26,289 --> 00:36:29,049
Before then they eat the Skittles and
they're like a completely different child.
1011
00:36:29,139 --> 00:36:29,289
And
1012
00:36:29,349 --> 00:36:29,769
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Oh yeah.
1013
00:36:29,829 --> 00:36:30,789
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
food dyes are sending
1014
00:36:30,789 --> 00:36:32,169
them in a complete spiral.
1015
00:36:32,169 --> 00:36:34,479
Their brain doesn't even
know how to comprehend it.
1016
00:36:34,479 --> 00:36:35,709
Their body can't function.
1017
00:36:35,859 --> 00:36:37,329
So it's really scary.
1018
00:36:37,329 --> 00:36:39,699
Like food dyes are, are
genuinely really scary.
1019
00:36:39,699 --> 00:36:42,819
And they're so easy to avoid because
there's a lot of things out there that you
1020
00:36:42,819 --> 00:36:46,209
just don't need it colored, you know, like
you don't need colored icing on your cake.
1021
00:36:46,419 --> 00:36:49,929
Just have white, just have a,
a classic, um, buttercream.
1022
00:36:50,109 --> 00:36:52,809
Um, and there's also things like
spirulina or even just like.
1023
00:36:53,094 --> 00:36:56,034
Freeze dried strawberries that
people use to color stuff these days.
1024
00:36:56,044 --> 00:36:56,304
So there's
1025
00:36:56,344 --> 00:36:56,634
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
1026
00:36:56,634 --> 00:36:58,104
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
lot of alternatives out there for
1027
00:36:58,104 --> 00:36:58,374
that.
1028
00:36:58,374 --> 00:37:02,804
Um, I even feel like there, this is
becoming, like with RFK, I feel like food
1029
00:37:03,104 --> 00:37:03,524
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Oh yeah.
1030
00:37:03,564 --> 00:37:05,154
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
number one thing he tackled.
1031
00:37:05,214 --> 00:37:09,924
So I'm seeing so many movements even in
big brands that do use them, like not
1032
00:37:09,924 --> 00:37:11,454
putting it in their cereals anymore.
1033
00:37:11,454 --> 00:37:12,954
And it's really cool to see that.
1034
00:37:13,134 --> 00:37:15,309
So now I feel like we're finally making.
1035
00:37:15,609 --> 00:37:15,884
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Thank goodness.
1036
00:37:16,184 --> 00:37:17,469
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
good strides in this area.
1037
00:37:17,469 --> 00:37:17,559
Mm-hmm.
1038
00:37:17,799 --> 00:37:20,349
And you know, like the other day we
were using sprinkles for one of our
1039
00:37:20,349 --> 00:37:23,769
Easter traditions of decorating these,
you know, Easter dolls that we make.
1040
00:37:24,129 --> 00:37:28,269
And we got ones from Whole Foods that they
were, the green ones had spirulina and the
1041
00:37:28,269 --> 00:37:30,579
red ones had like, red, had beet powder.
1042
00:37:30,579 --> 00:37:31,539
And you don't taste it at all.
1043
00:37:31,569 --> 00:37:32,379
It tastes like a sprinkle.
1044
00:37:32,379 --> 00:37:33,699
They're so sugar in it.
1045
00:37:33,969 --> 00:37:35,529
But it was looked just as beautiful.
1046
00:37:35,529 --> 00:37:39,579
And I feel like, like as well said, when
you realize that there are alternatives,
1047
00:37:39,579 --> 00:37:43,269
it's just, make the alternative, try
and make the switch where you can.
1048
00:37:43,989 --> 00:37:49,269
One more ingredient I wanna call out
is Caran, just because that is a really
1049
00:37:49,269 --> 00:37:53,769
gut disturbing ingredient that is
actually in a lot of healthy foods.
1050
00:37:53,769 --> 00:37:57,339
So like it's probably in your milk, it's
probably in your cream cheese or your
1051
00:37:57,339 --> 00:37:59,329
butter because it's an emulsifier it.
1052
00:38:00,699 --> 00:38:02,769
Elongates shelf life
for a lot of products.
1053
00:38:02,769 --> 00:38:06,039
So, you know, your milk doesn't go
bad because it has that carine in it.
1054
00:38:06,279 --> 00:38:09,729
Versus if you're drinking an A two
a two whole milk that's low temp
1055
00:38:09,729 --> 00:38:12,429
pasteurized, it's not gonna have that,
which means it's probably gonna spoil
1056
00:38:12,429 --> 00:38:14,169
a little bit quicker in your fridge.
1057
00:38:14,169 --> 00:38:15,159
So you have to consume it.
1058
00:38:15,159 --> 00:38:16,329
And, and people don't like doing that.
1059
00:38:16,329 --> 00:38:19,179
You know, they wanna buy milk for
two weeks and have it last, but it,
1060
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:24,159
it has that carne in it that is just
a really gut disrupting chemical
1061
00:38:24,249 --> 00:38:25,239
that you're putting into your body.
1062
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,979
And like anytime you disrupt your gut.
1063
00:38:27,009 --> 00:38:30,279
If your gut is directly linked to
your brain, so if your gut health is
1064
00:38:30,279 --> 00:38:32,749
bad, your brain health is bad, and
I think a lot of times people think.
1065
00:38:33,474 --> 00:38:36,744
is a little bit of a side tangent, but
you know, they think their anxiety or
1066
00:38:36,744 --> 00:38:40,464
their depression or you know, their
stress levels, they think it comes from
1067
00:38:40,644 --> 00:38:44,754
the things happening in their life, but
it's really enabled by their gut health
1068
00:38:44,754 --> 00:38:49,014
because they're handling the things of
this world a lot worse because of the
1069
00:38:49,014 --> 00:38:51,714
ingredients that they're putting into
their body that are actually affecting
1070
00:38:51,894 --> 00:38:53,784
how their brain responds to things.
1071
00:38:53,904 --> 00:38:57,264
And it's things like car
milk, in our butter, that.
1072
00:38:57,764 --> 00:39:01,304
You know, disturbs our gut and allows us
to react in a negative way, to see the
1073
00:39:01,304 --> 00:39:05,564
bad, to focus on the depressing aspects
of life instead of seeing the good, which
1074
00:39:05,564 --> 00:39:08,624
I know sounds so crazy, but if you look
it up in a textbook, they're directly
1075
00:39:08,624 --> 00:39:09,944
connected, your brain and your gut.
1076
00:39:09,944 --> 00:39:10,034
Mm-hmm.
1077
00:39:10,274 --> 00:39:12,734
So it's like the number one thing to
take care of is your gut, and that's
1078
00:39:12,734 --> 00:39:16,634
why all the ingredients matter,
because your gut stems from what
1079
00:39:16,634 --> 00:39:17,564
you're putting into it, obviously.
1080
00:39:17,564 --> 00:39:17,654
Mm-hmm.
1081
00:39:17,894 --> 00:39:20,714
So you wanna make sure you're
prioritizing that health above any other
1082
00:39:20,714 --> 00:39:22,034
health healthy aspect of your body.
1083
00:39:22,794 --> 00:39:25,944
just the number one thing when
you're in the grocery store, we can't
1084
00:39:25,944 --> 00:39:27,324
trust these food brands like you.
1085
00:39:27,324 --> 00:39:30,924
Really, even some of the healthier
ones, you know, they switch up
1086
00:39:30,924 --> 00:39:32,304
once they get big and we've.
1087
00:39:32,679 --> 00:39:36,189
Come across brands that we were using,
and then all of a sudden they changed
1088
00:39:36,189 --> 00:39:40,539
from extra virgin olive oil to a seed oil
because it's more cost prohibitive for
1089
00:39:40,559 --> 00:39:40,909
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Right.
1090
00:39:41,209 --> 00:39:43,269
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: So
just remember, you can't trust anything.
1091
00:39:43,299 --> 00:39:44,949
Just flip it over and read it.
1092
00:39:45,069 --> 00:39:45,189
Mm-hmm.
1093
00:39:45,609 --> 00:39:47,409
You might spend more time
in the grocery store.
1094
00:39:47,409 --> 00:39:51,099
We, in the beginning, we, I felt like I
was there for hours reading every labels.
1095
00:39:51,099 --> 00:39:52,569
I felt like an insane person.
1096
00:39:52,809 --> 00:39:54,939
Now it's just such second nature.
1097
00:39:55,089 --> 00:39:56,469
Also like stick to the perimeters.
1098
00:39:56,469 --> 00:39:59,619
Nine times outta 10, you won't even have
a label to read, which is beautiful.
1099
00:39:59,859 --> 00:40:01,449
But if you're gonna read a label.
1100
00:40:02,649 --> 00:40:07,359
just those three things are definitely
the, I feel like our biggest immediate,
1101
00:40:07,359 --> 00:40:09,129
I don't even read the rest of the label.
1102
00:40:09,129 --> 00:40:11,259
I immediately put it down
if I see any of those.
1103
00:40:12,174 --> 00:40:12,624
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: That is.
1104
00:40:12,669 --> 00:40:14,529
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: we
do have a post on our, on our Instagram
1105
00:40:14,529 --> 00:40:17,859
too, just of like other ingredients that
we, I feel like we could touch on it for
1106
00:40:17,859 --> 00:40:20,739
like hours, so I'm like, if you guys need
more reference from it, we post a lot
1107
00:40:20,739 --> 00:40:22,089
of that stuff on our Instagram as well.
1108
00:40:22,779 --> 00:40:23,379
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Awesome.
1109
00:40:23,559 --> 00:40:25,479
That was such good insight you guys.
1110
00:40:25,479 --> 00:40:28,899
Thank you for sharing
like such helpful things.
1111
00:40:28,899 --> 00:40:30,339
I love the little call out there.
1112
00:40:30,339 --> 00:40:34,599
Stay on the perimeter of the grocery store
and you'll be a little bit safer there.
1113
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:36,039
That's so, that's so true.
1114
00:40:36,369 --> 00:40:38,229
And then even just those
couple ingredients.
1115
00:40:39,219 --> 00:40:42,669
Hearing you guys say that, I'm like,
that is so easy because those are
1116
00:40:42,669 --> 00:40:45,729
so widely used in so many products.
1117
00:40:45,729 --> 00:40:49,059
And so I mean it, it's gonna suck
at first because you're gonna turn
1118
00:40:49,059 --> 00:40:52,869
every product over that you probably
already know and eat and love,
1119
00:40:52,922 --> 00:40:54,159
and you're gonna be like, shoot.
1120
00:40:54,459 --> 00:40:58,059
But what it does is that it helps
you start to learn how much is
1121
00:40:58,059 --> 00:41:00,639
actually canceled out instead of.
1122
00:41:00,694 --> 00:41:04,714
Like looking for something that's like
hard to find and it kind of just reminds
1123
00:41:04,714 --> 00:41:07,594
me like when it comes to non-toxic
products, like for your home and for
1124
00:41:07,594 --> 00:41:10,534
your body, like personal care products,
my number one thing is fragrance.
1125
00:41:10,534 --> 00:41:12,814
Like if it says fragrance, don't use it.
1126
00:41:12,814 --> 00:41:17,884
And 99% of things, I swear that we
all used to have in our house, but
1127
00:41:17,884 --> 00:41:20,584
that fragrance in it, and so it
just makes it a really easy thing.
1128
00:41:20,664 --> 00:41:22,114
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
like the candle queen,
1129
00:41:22,414 --> 00:41:22,774
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yes.
1130
00:41:22,859 --> 00:41:22,979
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: I
1131
00:41:23,074 --> 00:41:23,644
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Oh my gosh.
1132
00:41:23,664 --> 00:41:25,974
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
candle queen over here, I,
1133
00:41:25,974 --> 00:41:27,594
and I had to sacrifice it.
1134
00:41:27,664 --> 00:41:28,474
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Oh yeah,
1135
00:41:28,554 --> 00:41:28,974
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
was so
1136
00:41:28,989 --> 00:41:29,189
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: I know.
1137
00:41:29,544 --> 00:41:30,234
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
to put down.
1138
00:41:30,234 --> 00:41:30,834
But once I read
1139
00:41:30,834 --> 00:41:31,284
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: I know.
1140
00:41:31,464 --> 00:41:32,064
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
I was like, get
1141
00:41:32,124 --> 00:41:32,664
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah,
1142
00:41:32,699 --> 00:41:33,264
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
here, outta here.
1143
00:41:33,264 --> 00:41:35,574
Now if we smell a candle,
I get an instant headache
1144
00:41:35,934 --> 00:41:36,684
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: yeah,
1145
00:41:36,804 --> 00:41:37,374
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
wild.
1146
00:41:37,379 --> 00:41:37,459
Mm-hmm.
1147
00:41:38,124 --> 00:41:39,714
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: And
non-toxic candles are a little bit
1148
00:41:39,714 --> 00:41:44,214
more expensive, so I, I used to
love candles too, and I very slowly
1149
00:41:44,214 --> 00:41:45,984
invest in non-toxic candles now
1150
00:41:46,204 --> 00:41:46,419
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
Yeah.
1151
00:41:46,419 --> 00:41:46,854
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: to like,
1152
00:41:46,989 --> 00:41:48,459
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
we don't burn them as often.
1153
00:41:48,459 --> 00:41:50,619
We definitely pull back
from light in that wick.
1154
00:41:50,654 --> 00:41:50,874
Yes.
1155
00:41:51,174 --> 00:41:51,654
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Exactly.
1156
00:41:51,654 --> 00:41:52,344
Exactly.
1157
00:41:52,674 --> 00:41:53,484
Well, okay.
1158
00:41:53,484 --> 00:41:57,444
One thing I kind of just wanna wrap
up our conversation with is just a
1159
00:41:57,444 --> 00:42:02,784
conversation about discipline, because
in the end, making all these decisions
1160
00:42:02,784 --> 00:42:04,314
and changing your lifestyle takes.
1161
00:42:05,079 --> 00:42:08,979
Discipline and I was, I was
looking through your guys' content.
1162
00:42:08,979 --> 00:42:14,379
I feel like that, uh, virtue just kind
of is a theme in what you guys are doing.
1163
00:42:14,379 --> 00:42:17,529
Whether you outwardly try to put it
out there or not, it comes across
1164
00:42:17,529 --> 00:42:19,599
very well and it's very inspiring.
1165
00:42:19,599 --> 00:42:24,789
So what do you guys have to share about,
like, how do you build up discipline?
1166
00:42:24,969 --> 00:42:27,339
'cause it's something that a
lot of people struggle with.
1167
00:42:27,774 --> 00:42:28,194
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: Hmm.
1168
00:42:28,614 --> 00:42:29,664
Uh, first of all, thank you.
1169
00:42:29,754 --> 00:42:30,504
Yeah, I appreciate that.
1170
00:42:30,504 --> 00:42:32,034
I'm very happy that that comes across and.
1171
00:42:33,144 --> 00:42:37,224
Because it's so naturally in our life,
it naturally comes out in our content,
1172
00:42:37,524 --> 00:42:37,814
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
1173
00:42:38,114 --> 00:42:40,404
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
but it was not always that way.
1174
00:42:40,404 --> 00:42:44,034
I think some people think, oh, I
just need to be disciplined and
1175
00:42:44,034 --> 00:42:45,474
then everything will be okay.
1176
00:42:45,924 --> 00:42:49,974
Discipline is a constant decision
that you make every single day.
1177
00:42:50,334 --> 00:42:51,624
It's not an easy decision.
1178
00:42:51,684 --> 00:42:55,074
Nine times outta 10, it doesn't
matter how much I work out.
1179
00:42:55,074 --> 00:42:56,879
There are still mornings
where I wake up and I'm like.
1180
00:42:58,149 --> 00:43:01,449
I really don't feel like doing it, but
I know it's gonna be better in the end.
1181
00:43:01,449 --> 00:43:05,019
I never regret a workout, but it
takes a lot for me to get outta bed
1182
00:43:05,019 --> 00:43:06,549
sometimes and be able to wanna do that.
1183
00:43:06,549 --> 00:43:11,049
It takes that discipline, but is one, I
always say we feel our most confident.
1184
00:43:11,049 --> 00:43:15,219
We feel our best in our bodies,
in our mind, just in life when we
1185
00:43:15,219 --> 00:43:16,989
are disciplined because we know.
1186
00:43:17,619 --> 00:43:19,869
It's translating to all these other areas.
1187
00:43:19,869 --> 00:43:24,934
So it's not just being disciplined in
the gym, it's what does that bleed into?
1188
00:43:25,047 --> 00:43:25,254
Mm-hmm.
1189
00:43:25,334 --> 00:43:29,319
And that when I am working out and
I'm taking care of my body physically,
1190
00:43:29,529 --> 00:43:30,969
well, I want to eat healthy too.
1191
00:43:30,969 --> 00:43:34,629
And then when I'm eating healthy,
I want to, it just translates,
1192
00:43:34,629 --> 00:43:35,499
oh, I wanna be more active.
1193
00:43:35,499 --> 00:43:37,269
And then I'm, all of a sudden
I'm paying attention to the
1194
00:43:37,269 --> 00:43:39,459
products I'm putting on my body.
1195
00:43:39,489 --> 00:43:42,159
'cause I'm like, well, why would I wear
perfume or, and light these candles
1196
00:43:42,159 --> 00:43:45,339
if I'm buying the non-organic grapes?
1197
00:43:45,339 --> 00:43:46,689
Like what it, it feels.
1198
00:43:47,394 --> 00:43:48,084
Counterintuitive.
1199
00:43:48,084 --> 00:43:49,524
I'm like, it doesn't
make sense to do this.
1200
00:43:49,524 --> 00:43:52,614
So I feel like we just start
in one area and then it,
1201
00:43:52,614 --> 00:43:54,684
because it impacts everything.
1202
00:43:54,684 --> 00:43:56,334
Like then it impacts our faith and
1203
00:43:56,814 --> 00:43:58,404
going on a prayer walk every day.
1204
00:43:58,404 --> 00:44:00,954
There's a lot of times when I don't
feel like praying when I put my
1205
00:44:00,954 --> 00:44:03,594
head on the pillow at night and
I'm like, oh, I didn't, I didn't
1206
00:44:03,594 --> 00:44:05,244
like, have my long in-depth prayer.
1207
00:44:05,244 --> 00:44:07,404
And I'm like, discipline.
1208
00:44:07,404 --> 00:44:08,979
Discipline needs to kick in right now,
1209
00:44:09,279 --> 00:44:09,519
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yep.
1210
00:44:09,624 --> 00:44:10,704
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
a five minute prayer.
1211
00:44:11,094 --> 00:44:12,444
You won't regret praying to God.
1212
00:44:12,444 --> 00:44:14,064
You won't regret this
conversation with him.
1213
00:44:14,064 --> 00:44:14,874
So just do it.
1214
00:44:14,874 --> 00:44:15,744
And you know what?
1215
00:44:15,804 --> 00:44:19,224
I even hate saying that sometimes, that
sometimes I don't wanna do it, but it
1216
00:44:19,419 --> 00:44:19,509
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
1217
00:44:19,734 --> 00:44:20,454
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
I'm only human.
1218
00:44:20,454 --> 00:44:20,994
I'm tired.
1219
00:44:20,994 --> 00:44:21,804
I wanna go to bed.
1220
00:44:23,019 --> 00:44:24,429
it takes five minutes.
1221
00:44:24,429 --> 00:44:25,869
It doesn't even, it could take one minute.
1222
00:44:25,869 --> 00:44:29,259
And I just feel like you need to
get in the habit of making the hard
1223
00:44:29,259 --> 00:44:31,179
decision to make your life easier.
1224
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:31,764
Yeah, and
1225
00:44:31,789 --> 00:44:31,909
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Hmm.
1226
00:44:32,019 --> 00:44:33,279
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
and one thing I would really add
1227
00:44:33,279 --> 00:44:37,089
to that is I think it's really
important to have a strong why
1228
00:44:37,119 --> 00:44:39,519
behind why you're being disciplined.
1229
00:44:39,699 --> 00:44:40,124
Like if you are.
1230
00:44:40,934 --> 00:44:44,534
You wanna start being disciplined with the
gym and you want to go, but your why is I
1231
00:44:44,534 --> 00:44:46,184
wanna look good in a bikini this summer.
1232
00:44:46,364 --> 00:44:46,994
I dunno about you.
1233
00:44:46,994 --> 00:44:48,134
That's not strong enough for me.
1234
00:44:48,164 --> 00:44:50,294
That's not a reason that's gonna
get me out of the door in the
1235
00:44:50,294 --> 00:44:52,784
morning when I hinge my why on God.
1236
00:44:52,784 --> 00:44:54,914
And I say, you know, God gave
me this temple of a body.
1237
00:44:55,779 --> 00:44:57,699
give it to me to sit
and sit still all day.
1238
00:44:57,759 --> 00:45:00,669
He gave it to me to go move to
fuel properly to take care of.
1239
00:45:00,849 --> 00:45:03,609
That's a really strong why for me
because I don't wanna let God down.
1240
00:45:03,609 --> 00:45:06,429
So you know, I'm getting my butt out
of the door that morning and I'm going
1241
00:45:06,429 --> 00:45:07,924
to the gym and I'm going on that walk.
1242
00:45:07,959 --> 00:45:11,949
So I just feel like
establishing a true, real why.
1243
00:45:11,949 --> 00:45:14,019
Maybe your why is you do
wanna lose a few pounds.
1244
00:45:14,019 --> 00:45:16,449
I'm not not judging you for
that, of course, but you just
1245
00:45:16,449 --> 00:45:17,509
need to make sure your why is.
1246
00:45:17,979 --> 00:45:21,909
True and accurate, and you're being honest
with yourself about it, and you remind
1247
00:45:21,909 --> 00:45:25,209
yourself of that on the mornings that you
don't wanna be disciplined in any moment,
1248
00:45:25,209 --> 00:45:26,319
that you don't wanna be disciplined.
1249
00:45:26,619 --> 00:45:28,329
I always like to say the
devil hates discipline.
1250
00:45:28,509 --> 00:45:31,959
Like he hates discipline because
it's, it's you pushing yourself
1251
00:45:31,959 --> 00:45:35,349
past this instantly gratifying
option and choosing the hard road.
1252
00:45:35,349 --> 00:45:39,039
And the hard road always pays
off hard now, easy later.
1253
00:45:39,159 --> 00:45:42,369
And I just remind myself of that in every
single difficult moment because it's
1254
00:45:42,369 --> 00:45:43,719
what gets me through the door and it's.
1255
00:45:44,124 --> 00:45:45,444
Ultimately so rewarding.
1256
00:45:45,444 --> 00:45:46,854
Like it feels so good when
1257
00:45:46,939 --> 00:45:47,229
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
1258
00:45:47,874 --> 00:45:48,684
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
that you didn't wanna do.
1259
00:45:48,684 --> 00:45:50,004
It feels so good when you do something.
1260
00:45:50,009 --> 00:45:50,994
That's how you build confidence.
1261
00:45:50,994 --> 00:45:53,634
Yeah, it's, it's so hard, but it's
like there's so much beauty in how
1262
00:45:53,634 --> 00:45:55,284
hard it is and then achieving it's.
1263
00:45:56,019 --> 00:45:57,789
feel on top of the
world, you feel amazing.
1264
00:45:57,789 --> 00:46:00,759
You're like, thank you, God, for giving
me the ability and the discipline
1265
00:46:00,759 --> 00:46:02,409
and the perseverance to do this.
1266
00:46:02,529 --> 00:46:05,912
So it's something you actually, it
may be really hard in the beginning
1267
00:46:06,129 --> 00:46:07,359
to start practicing discipline.
1268
00:46:07,359 --> 00:46:08,439
Like I don't think it's gonna be easy.
1269
00:46:08,439 --> 00:46:10,689
I think people are just like, I
wanna be disciplined, and they
1270
00:46:10,689 --> 00:46:11,979
expect it to come naturally.
1271
00:46:12,069 --> 00:46:13,449
It's gonna be really
hard in the beginning.
1272
00:46:13,449 --> 00:46:17,799
It's gonna stink, but eventually,
after repetition and repetition, you're
1273
00:46:17,799 --> 00:46:20,649
gonna look forward to being disciplined
because you're gonna associate it with.
1274
00:46:20,959 --> 00:46:23,479
Feeling your best and showing
up when you don't wanna show up.
1275
00:46:23,479 --> 00:46:26,449
And that's a really good feeling,
and it's what I remind myself of.
1276
00:46:27,594 --> 00:46:27,924
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
1277
00:46:27,984 --> 00:46:28,644
That's so good.
1278
00:46:28,644 --> 00:46:32,334
I love that you were saying like choose
a hard thing now because it makes your
1279
00:46:32,334 --> 00:46:34,614
life easier or it makes your life better.
1280
00:46:34,794 --> 00:46:36,714
And I think that is the key to discipline.
1281
00:46:36,714 --> 00:46:41,004
Like choosing discipline in the
moment feels sucky, but what feels
1282
00:46:41,004 --> 00:46:42,954
more sucky is not choosing it.
1283
00:46:43,044 --> 00:46:47,754
Like when you give into that like sloth or
when you give into the like, I just don't
1284
00:46:47,754 --> 00:46:49,374
feel like it, or it's just like too hard.
1285
00:46:49,734 --> 00:46:52,554
You don't walk away feeling proud
of yourself for not choosing it.
1286
00:46:52,674 --> 00:46:54,024
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
you like beat yourself up all day.
1287
00:46:54,024 --> 00:46:55,584
It's, it's that feeling.
1288
00:46:55,884 --> 00:46:59,214
I dread that more than getting up out
of bed in the morning to my alarm.
1289
00:46:59,214 --> 00:46:59,484
Like
1290
00:46:59,679 --> 00:47:00,159
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
1291
00:47:00,234 --> 00:47:01,554
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
I have to put myself sometimes
1292
00:47:01,554 --> 00:47:04,794
in those shoes of what is my
future self and my future.
1293
00:47:05,104 --> 00:47:05,324
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yes.
1294
00:47:05,364 --> 00:47:06,774
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
just myself an hour from
1295
00:47:06,774 --> 00:47:07,134
now.
1296
00:47:07,539 --> 00:47:11,049
Going to be saying to this girl that's
still in bed, that's snoozing her alarm.
1297
00:47:11,049 --> 00:47:14,199
Like, I, I keep using that
example 'cause that's when is the
1298
00:47:14,504 --> 00:47:16,084
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: That's
what's hardest for me too.
1299
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:16,719
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
yeah.
1300
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,159
And it's like the classic, like snooze.
1301
00:47:18,159 --> 00:47:19,059
I'll do it later.
1302
00:47:19,059 --> 00:47:20,229
I, I'll just skip today.
1303
00:47:20,229 --> 00:47:21,699
Whatever it is that, whatever
1304
00:47:21,699 --> 00:47:25,359
that voice is telling you, it's
like I really have to ask myself.
1305
00:47:26,019 --> 00:47:27,999
What did I tell myself last
night before going to bed?
1306
00:47:27,999 --> 00:47:31,299
And what is my future self going
to say to this version of me?
1307
00:47:31,569 --> 00:47:33,539
And I wanna make that future
version of myself proud.
1308
00:47:33,669 --> 00:47:35,529
I wanna start showing up as her more.
1309
00:47:35,859 --> 00:47:38,319
You're not going to achieve all
these different goals and these,
1310
00:47:38,649 --> 00:47:41,619
you know, you're not going to live
in accordance with God's plan for
1311
00:47:41,619 --> 00:47:44,589
you if you're staying that person.
1312
00:47:44,589 --> 00:47:47,859
That denies discipline, that denies
yourself, the confidence in all of
1313
00:47:47,994 --> 00:47:48,324
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.
1314
00:47:48,399 --> 00:47:49,629
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
like it's hard.
1315
00:47:49,629 --> 00:47:51,909
It's about having these hard
conversations with yourself.
1316
00:47:52,759 --> 00:47:56,124
okay if you're not like mean to yourself,
but in a way of like, no, I need to
1317
00:47:56,244 --> 00:47:56,754
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Tough love.
1318
00:47:56,964 --> 00:47:58,074
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
a little tough conversation.
1319
00:47:58,074 --> 00:47:58,134
Yeah.
1320
00:47:58,164 --> 00:48:01,404
Tough love right now to get my
butt out of bed and that's okay.
1321
00:48:01,404 --> 00:48:05,304
I feel like people, when we're too
soft with ourselves, we tend to
1322
00:48:05,304 --> 00:48:07,884
really fall back and it's like you're
allowed to give yourself tough love
1323
00:48:07,884 --> 00:48:12,294
because the love will grow so much when
you do give yourself that tough love.
1324
00:48:12,294 --> 00:48:13,314
Mm-hmm.
1325
00:48:13,344 --> 00:48:13,614
So I
1326
00:48:13,614 --> 00:48:14,574
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606:
That was beautifully said.
1327
00:48:14,574 --> 00:48:16,164
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
approach and it's never easy.
1328
00:48:16,164 --> 00:48:18,444
It's always hard, but think
about your future self.
1329
00:48:18,729 --> 00:48:22,029
Think about who God is calling you to
be and it's hard to deny yourself that
1330
00:48:22,029 --> 00:48:23,619
when you put that into perspective.
1331
00:48:24,219 --> 00:48:28,449
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Beautifully said,
and on that note, I hope everybody has a
1332
00:48:28,569 --> 00:48:30,804
fire lit in their butt right now and has.
1333
00:48:31,869 --> 00:48:36,969
Encouragement to get after their
goals, whether that be health or food
1334
00:48:36,969 --> 00:48:40,689
or spiritual, whatever it is that
you feel like is on your heart, that
1335
00:48:40,689 --> 00:48:43,749
you're like, gosh, like the Lord's
calling me to grow in this area, but
1336
00:48:43,749 --> 00:48:45,279
it's just hard for me to choose it.
1337
00:48:45,279 --> 00:48:47,769
I hope this conversation was
just that extra nudge that
1338
00:48:47,769 --> 00:48:49,479
you needed to get after it.
1339
00:48:49,479 --> 00:48:51,639
So thank you so much
for coming on you guys.
1340
00:48:51,639 --> 00:48:54,489
Where can we find more of
you guys and your content?
1341
00:48:55,454 --> 00:48:57,104
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
So you can follow us at
1342
00:48:57,104 --> 00:48:59,174
everything Kraus on Instagram.
1343
00:48:59,174 --> 00:49:01,994
That is, I would say our primary,
like primary, what is it?
1344
00:49:01,994 --> 00:49:02,654
What's the word?
1345
00:49:03,344 --> 00:49:03,764
Source?
1346
00:49:03,764 --> 00:49:03,944
I don't know.
1347
00:49:04,034 --> 00:49:04,814
Yeah, primary source.
1348
00:49:05,084 --> 00:49:06,974
Um, where you can find most of our page.
1349
00:49:06,974 --> 00:49:09,569
We also have a podcast called
the No Sugar Podcast, which.
1350
00:49:10,464 --> 00:49:12,414
it is not about not eating sugar.
1351
00:49:12,414 --> 00:49:13,944
It is about no sugarcoating.
1352
00:49:14,154 --> 00:49:18,504
And really having real raw conversations
and sharing these hard truths that you
1353
00:49:18,504 --> 00:49:21,024
may need to, to hear in order to grow.
1354
00:49:21,024 --> 00:49:22,974
That's what the main
purpose of the podcast is.
1355
00:49:23,154 --> 00:49:24,684
Um, and then Kari's Fitness Page.
1356
00:49:24,864 --> 00:49:28,404
Fitness page is at sculpted with
Kari, and that is where she posts all
1357
00:49:28,404 --> 00:49:30,114
of our, mainly our fitness content.
1358
00:49:30,114 --> 00:49:32,364
So I would say those are
our three big platforms.
1359
00:49:32,424 --> 00:49:32,814
Um.
1360
00:49:33,579 --> 00:49:37,269
at Kraus and at Isabelle Kraus are
our personal handle handles, which
1361
00:49:37,269 --> 00:49:39,999
we're growing, like little personal
brands trying to live out this mission
1362
00:49:39,999 --> 00:49:43,419
and also our daily lives, and kind of
showcasing that to the world as well.
1363
00:49:44,139 --> 00:49:46,089
thing about us is we have
a lot of Instagram pages.
1364
00:49:47,754 --> 00:49:48,234
mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Awesome.
1365
00:49:48,294 --> 00:49:51,174
Well, we'll make sure to link them
all in the show notes so y'all
1366
00:49:51,174 --> 00:49:52,674
don't have to memorize all of that.
1367
00:49:52,674 --> 00:49:55,404
You can just go and click it
and get more of these girls,
1368
00:49:55,404 --> 00:49:56,964
because they were so amazing.
1369
00:49:56,964 --> 00:49:57,894
Thanks so much you guys.
1370
00:49:59,109 --> 00:49:59,824
squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:
Thank you much.
1371
00:49:59,824 --> 00:50:00,699
Thank you, Molly, for having us.
1372
00:50:00,699 --> 00:50:03,789
Seriously, this was so fun and it
has been a pleasure to chat with you.
1373
00:50:03,789 --> 00:50:05,229
I feel like I could talk to you for hours.
1374
00:50:05,229 --> 00:50:05,349
Really.
1375
00:50:05,439 --> 00:50:07,659
So this has been literally
the best day ever.
