In this episode, we do what all emotionally available lesbians eventually do: talk about our love languages and then emotionally unravel over a card game (again). We’re back with We’re Not Really Strangers (because once clearly wasn’t enough) asking each other deep, chaotic and occasionally unhinged questions. Join us for queer vulnerability, oversharing and an unofficial round of gay couples’ therapy disguised as content.

In this episode, Lesley Bean makes her long-awaited return!

Luce shares some personal reflections on their recent move back home, and how sometimes taking a step back is exactly what you need to move forwards.

We chat about our recent trip to the Scotland Vegan Festival - Toria’s first proper vegan event - and the conversations it sparked about food, joy and intentionality. Toria opens up about losing her spark around meals and how easy it is to fall into the trap of treating nutrition as an afterthought, something so many people (especially busy, burnt-out professionals) can relate to.

We also talk about fuelling properly for training, and why under-eating isn't just a performance issue... it's a quality of life one.

In part two, we respond to some recent negativity around our message, and address the assumptions many coaches make about what fitness should look like.

We also dive into why sexuality, gender identity, trauma, and neurodivergence shape our experience of the gym, and why good coaching has to be about more than macros and reps.

In this episode of Vegains & Vagitarians, we get into the chaos of everyday life... the kind of small, stupid stuff that can derail your energy, routines and vibe.

Luce talks about the low-level anxiety that comes with navigating change (even when it’s small), the comfort of familiar rituals and how the most basic disruptions can hit harder when you’re neurodivergent.

We also explore: – Creating your own energy vs just waiting for motivation to arrive – Adapting your routines without spiralling – How we lead, coach and support others while dealing with our own stuff – The long, messy process of shifting from compulsion to compassion

It’s a very “meeting yourself where you’re at” kind of episode... with a bit of burnout, a bit of self-reflection and most certainly some caffeine.
