Sandra Younes and Lyndall Vile
Fortnightly, Lyndall and Sandra sit down to have raw, honest and unfiltered conversations about the topics that no one likes to speak about. We are living in the golden age of podcasts. If you can dream up a subject, somewhere in the world, there’s a person sitting in front of a microphone chatting at length about it – but are they speaking the truth…or just spreading a bunch of BS? Our aim is to shed light on the deep issues that others try to hide, connect with you through our story telling and enable you to reflect on your own personal circumstances: Just two girlfriends having a chat.
Ep 7: The MidSize Movement: What the f#ck is MidSize?
Mid Size, Plus Size, Petite, Hourglass, Apple - why are we classified based on our body shape? Lately there has been a rise in the mid size movement; a pocket of women that are considered "medium" and the "in between".  With the rise of this movement, and others such as plus size and body positivity -  we have also seen women who are considered petite or skinny; trying to trend - by creating social media content pushing themselves into these categories. How many times can you change your body to fit in? Are we really going to follow the Kardashian body trends forever? Each of our bodies is uniquely different, from the colour of our skin, to our dna make up - why do we keep grouping women based on one characteristic - the size of their pants (and butt). Kim K getting (or not getting) a BBL was every plastic surgeons dream - every girl was lining up on the doorstep of any clinic that had an available appointment to enhance the size of their behind. Kim K then flipped the script and had her BBL removed - awkward silence​ In this episode we unpack this concept of our bodies fitting into a trend. Is it the need to belong, the need to stay relevant or the need to have a label so you feel ok in a community of others that share your identity. What category do you fall into?

Ep 6: Making Waves Ft Olivia Kozma
Is there such a thing as an overnight success?    What originally started as a side hustle during Covid Lockdown quickly became a full time hustle when Olivias house quite literally turned into a warehouse.  Olivia operating her own laser clinic and her husband working as a security guard - they both made the decision to leave their full time roles and pursue their online sneaker and streetwear business which now operates out of a shopfront in Moorebank.    Their success was fast but it didnt come without blood, sweat and tears - despite what it might look like on social media and on the news.   Olivia talks candidly about the reality of owning a successful business, being a mother trying to juggle it all, social media, infuencers and how relationships with family and friends changed in light of her success. A mumpreneur who is now sharing her creative flair and has opened up her own photo studio.    Warning - this episode might make you ask yourself - "do you have what it takes"   Also available on Youtube!   @oliviakozma   @waves_au   @studiokelso   @lyndallvile_co  @sandrayounespt

Ep 4: Mindset and Motivation: Why is everyone suddenly a Life Coach?
Being a Life Coach or a Mindset Coach seems to be the new IN thing; but will this fix your life, or girlfriend….do you need therapy? New Year New Me"" is an easy time to be drawn into buying THE program that's going to change your life, but are you signing up to see a miracle happen without you actually having to do "the work"... again? Your motivation is there; you've been '"inspo'd but you just can't seem to push through when you are in a shitty situation. We get it, we've been there and go through it too. Are you actually too busy [tired/poor/overwhelmed etc]  to achieve these goals or do you just not want it badly enough? Are you constantly doing the "fluffy" work and expecting your PT to fix every area of your life without actually peeling back the layers and doing the groundwork first? What even is a mindset coach? Can they really be the missing link between you and your goals? Listen in as we explore this buzz word trending the fitness industry. Warning: you might be called out on your sob story.

Ep 3: The internet doesn't need to know everything about you...
Are Influencers responsible for creating unrealistic standards on how to live your life?   Find yourself constantly comparing and analysing you versus them when you are scrolling?   We get it…online you can create a persona, an image, showcase the highlight reel of your life – but is it time we hold influencers responsible for what they put out there? Or should we just let them be to monetise their "brand" and land a few good deals while potentially damaging your self-esteem and self-worth?     Social platforms can be a toxic place – and yet we are addicted to consuming it.    In this episode we ask "Where’s the line between showing up and being your authentic self online; and oversharing for likes and views?"  If you’ve ever compared yourself to some girl online, if you’ve suffered body dysmorphia as a result of watching the content of these ‘fitness influencers’, if you’ve ever been convinced to buying into some online program that you saw on social media but slowly realised it was not what it said it was  – this episode is for you!     Also available on Youtube.   @lyndallvile_co  @sandrayounespt

Ep 2: Marriage, Dating Apps and Awkward First Dates
Why is there such an intense pressure on women to have it all, do it all and show up at 100% - all the time! Why is our success as a woman determined by how many check boxes we can tick? The man, the house, the kids, the career? If you're not ticking boxes, are you really considered unsuccessful?    We chat about why dating in your 30s is an absolute trainwreck, how to know if he’s THE ONE, making friends as an adult, and why finding a boyfriend isn’t as simple as pashing a random boy on the dance floor anymore….rude.    @sandrayounespt  @lyndallvile_co

Ep 1: The Journey: The Outcome and the Evolution
Not all of us begin our fitness journey from a place of good intention – sometimes it begins masked with low self-esteem, self-hatred and body shaming. For us it did. But over the years we dug ourselves out of that hole and evolved our focus to be the fittest, strongest and most confident versions of ourselves – and we teach others how to do the same. This is Back to Baesix with @sandrayounespt and @lyndallvile_co – join us as we discuss how to shift from the ‘skinny’ mindset to being strong, fit – and sexy!
