Beyond the Weight with Henny and Sandy

Beyond the Weight 2.40: Trad-wife Life

Join us as we chat about food safety, items that can and cannot be recycled, and what it means to be living the trad-wife life. Sandy has a large event to attend, and she’s anxious about the small talk. Henny is coming to the rescue though because she’s just listened to a podcast all about the Science of Conversation!

This week’s question isn’t actually a tear-jerker! Don’t worry. We do have some good discussion about what makes us cry and how we feel about crying in front of other people.

Beyond the Weight 2.37: Surprise! I like you!

This week’s question was surprisingly easy to answer and gave us both a nice surprise. Think about the people in your life who you admire. Is the thing you admire about them something they would expect?

Beyond the Weight 2.35: Promise We Won’t Laugh

This week’s question gave us some good food for thought. We have a good giggle about a paddle-boarding adventure we went on together years ago. We have some serious chat too. Don’t worry!

Beyond the Weight 2.34: Join Us

This week’s question is a pretty straightforward one, but we were unsure as to whether or not we’d have good answers. Don’t worry! We both thought of something! Let us know if you’d be interested in being our plus ones for either of our requests!

Beyond the Weight 2.33: Funnier Than We Look

This week’s question sounds a bit clunky, but it turned out to be fun and easy to answer! In fact, the trickiest part of the question ended up being deciding on which 3 things we would pick. What would you say is true about both of us?

Beyond the Weight 2.32: Speak Up

Join us as we chat about our new understanding of what it means to be defiant. When can defiance be advantageous to us, and how do we practice it? Henny wore her PJs to the store the other day, and Sandy refused a service based on a poor Google Review. How do you think we’re doing in our defiant era?

Beyond the Weight 2.31: Loving Ourselves

This week’s question brought us everything: clichés, revelations, laughter, and tears. The question had us thinking about past decisions, about our current lives, about our times abroad, about aging, and about - you guessed it - weight.
