The Bend with Dena and Theresa
Soul Projects
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
At a time when it’s easy to be over focused on how we are stretching out of our sweatpants
that once were baggy, we push ourselves out of comfort zones and into meaningful soul
projects, back bends, and handstands. Dena gives her professional overview and comments
on the new 2026 Dietary Guidelines including fiber, protein, fats, ultra-processed foods, and
alcohol which leads us to glance at the art of behavior change. Dena inquires about the
current popularity of pilates; Theresa shares her experience and perspectives on movement,
and how she crafts her guidance of clients using pilates and other modalities. We finish with
challenges for our listeners that range from eating veggies, using words as nourishment (or
not!), swearing superpowers (or not!), and rules versus trust and honoring our bodies when it
comes to eating.
Pro Tip: Go into the day knowing what you’ll eat!
