The back hump fix and other summer riuals
Welcome to a very chill, but naturally, insight-packed Summer edition of the pod. All the things you need to know to look your best for the rest of this delightful season.
We’re talking about the dreaded back hump. But also: travel resets, body rituals, and the beauty of showing up for yourself—inside and out.
In this episode, we trade stories from Cannes and camp drop-off, revisit old marriage wounds (and why they still surprise us), and dive into the summer rituals keeping us sane: lemon balm tea, Ayurvedic oiling, Garshana gloves, lymphatic drainage, and one surprisingly effective foam roller routine for that dread dowager hump.
Light, packed and easy listening. Let us know what you think!
