Episode 09: Workout Culture Clash

Content note: this episode includes discussion of exercise, weight loss, weight gain, diet culture, etc. If you find these topics triggering, feel free to skip ahead to our second segment, about 23 minutes in.

Exercise hasn’t always felt joyful to Brooke and Amanda. Between the two, they’ve tried just about everything — from step, to running, to yoga, to dance cardio (hello, Jazzercise) — and everything in between. Amanda digs into Gretchen Rubin’s four tendencies to identify why certain types of exercise (and accountability) work for her, and Brooke tells the tale of her lonnnnnng journey to finding an exercise routine that has now stuck for 5 years, and is as much for her mental health as it is for her physical health.

Amanda also divulges a very mysterious joy-sparker, and Brooke shares a great tip for keeping home measurements and swatches on-hand for spontaneous shopping excursions.

About the Podcast

Good Enough-ish
A podcast from two organization-loving friends trying to be Good Enough-ish at all the things we juggle in life.
Good Enough-ish is a podcast from two organization-loving friends sharing tips, strategies, and real-life experiences (and fails!) of trying to be good enough-ish at all the things we juggle in life.

Co-hosts Amanda Jefferson & Brooke Forry love systems and organizing... but we are NOT perfect. (#notevenclose) We are busy, tired, flawed people, attempting to keep it all together with some joy and fun in the mix.

Amanda is the owner of Indigo Organizing and one of the world’s first KonMari consultants. She helps people have less stuff, less stress, more space AND more time for what MATTERS.

Brooke is a graphic designer, entrepreneur, and co-founder of the Balance Bound Planner, a line of US-made products that help busy people get organized and prioritize self-care.

We have LOTS to discuss, rant about, and laugh about, amidst also sharing some hopefully helpful tips for our listeners. New episodes drop every Thursday.
