Carla reflects on the frustration of waiting for motivation to strike, while Roni shares how the WYCWYC approach helped her recognize progress even in less-than-perfect circumstances. We discuss everything from the allure of the “all-or-nothing” trap to how showing up in small ways, like putting on your gym clothes even if you don’t work out, can be a powerful win.

Carla shares a story about a parenting fail in the Target parking lot, leading to a candid conversation about letting go of perfection and embracing the messy moments.

We delve into the pressures of social media, body image, and “doing it all,” sharing personal stories that range from sweaty, post-workout, showerless errands in yoga pants to juggling work, kids, and the occasional emotional breakdown. Roni opens up about a recent moment of clarity that helped her reclaim her "why" for fitness, while Carla shares how she copes with the mental load and sensory overload of parenting young kids.

Carla shares her experience training for and loving a half marathon that she walked. We delve into the power of de-conveniencing your life to create space for movement and explore how walking events can be just as empowering as running them.

From there, we talk real food, salad wins with kids, zoodle skepticism, and the great parenting debate: to sneak or not to sneak veggies? We share stories from snow days, conference calls turned walking sessions, and why sometimes the best WYCWYC moment is doing absolutely nothing (and owning it).

In this debut episode, we introduce the core idea behind WYCWYC: making small, sustainable choices that fit into your real life, rather than striving for perfection. We reflect on how the philosophy emerged naturally through years of blogging, share personal stories about food, fitness, motherhood, and identity, and explain how doing "what you can when you can" became both a mindset and a movement for us.

In this kickoff live episode, we reflect on the journey from two bloggers writing a book in a shared Google Doc to reclaiming their rights and republishing it with a brand-new student-designed cover.

In this episode:

  • The joy (and challenges) of the original publishing process

  • The evolution of blogging, community, and connection

  • Why they're bringing back the “old band” for a new era of WYCWYC

  • The launch of their brand-new WYCWYC workbook

What’s next: Friday Lives, Wayback Wednesday podcast throwbacks, and cross-posting to YouTube

We hope you join us for the return of online community, imperfection, and doing what you can when you can.

WYCWYC!
