About this episode

Joy and Claire discuss recent life updates including travel plans, mindfulness practices, and health trends from Expo West.

Moab Heat, Busy Spring Travel, Mindfulness, and Protein-Obsessed Expo West Joy and Claire catch up on Moab’s early heat, a recent snowstorm, and packed spring schedules including Arizona, Peru, river trips, and work travel. Claire recaps attending Expo West in Anaheim, meeting David Fitzpatrick at Disneyland for ice cream, and a stressful return trip involving a sprinting airport connection and a tiny flight back to Moab. They pivot to a Q&A on favorite times of day and desserts, then discuss goals for the year. They reflect on concussion/whiplash recovery, long-term “physical 401k” health, shifting body-image perspectives, and concerns about normalizing extreme thinness. They preview upcoming episodes on financial planning, estate planning, and being childless by choice, and close with Expo West trends like protein/creatine in everything, cottage-cheese ice cream, fiber products, and skepticism about AG1 in favor of comprehensive multivitamins. 00:00 Moab Heat Check 01:14 Snow Days and Busy March 02:47 Expo West and Disneyland Ice Cream 03:55 Small Airports and Sprinting Connections 06:32 Sweaty Travel and Heat Rants 08:48 Q and A Kickoff Favorites 09:47 Dogs Dinner Witching…
