  • Episode 6: Trans Rights on Trial - Building Safety in Uncertain Times
    May 7 2025

    In this episode, we unpack the recent UK Supreme Court ruling on the legal definition of 'woman' and the EHRC’s interim advice — breaking down what this means for the trans and gender-diverse community. We explore the wider conversation around how sex and gender are conceptualised in law and society, and dive into the ripple effects this has already had in sport, from football to cricket.

    We also reflect on the realities of navigating the fitness industry as a marginalised person, and why creating truly inclusive spaces is more important than ever.

    To wrap up, we share thoughts on how to stay grounded and supported in the face of rising hostility — from finding your people and engaging in queer joy, to the role of allies in showing up, speaking out, and redistributing resources.

  • Episode 5: Vegan Gains & Growing Pains
    Apr 23 2025

    In this one, we’re back with another vulnerable sit-down playing We’re Not Really Strangers — and things get real (again).

    Toria opens up about how going vegan has impacted her physically and emotionally, and we dive into how we navigate communication, conflict, and connection as a couple.

    We also share something we haven’t before: that we actually broke up twice in the first couple of months of dating.

    It wasn’t easy — but those uncomfortable conversations brought us closer than ever.

    This episode is about growth, grace, and what it really means to choose someone — even when it’s messy.

  • Episode 4: Health Challenges, Fitness, and What Success Really Means
    Apr 16 2025

    Navigating a health and fitness journey when you're dealing with chronic illness, injury, pain, or disability can feel overwhelming — especially when mainstream fitness culture pushes one-size-fits-all solutions.

    In this episode, we take a compassionate look at what it really means to pursue health and strength when your body doesn’t follow the “typical” path. We talk about how to set realistic goals, avoid the comparison trap, and define your own version of success.

    We also dive into the concept of "laziness" — is it a real diagnosis, or just a label we place on ourselves when things aren’t going as planned? Plus, we introduce the Gears system, a flexible tool that helps you stay consistent without burning out, and explore how being kind to yourself can support better progress long-term.

    Whether you're managing flare-ups, navigating fatigue, or just trying to figure out where to start, this one’s for you.
