Coronavirus has us all thinking of ways we can optimize our bodies for peak performance – that is, unless you’re Kristin Weitzel of Warrior Woman Mode. Kristin’s been in this shit since ‘92 (as Biggie would say), and she’s here to walk us through the biohacking options – even if we’re stuck at home.

The Gringas are back, with an epic catch up and big news. Kelly’s coming in hot from Gainesville, Florida – the home of Tom Petty – with some massive career and life changes. She also found love in Cleveland! Kari’s in Antalya, Turkey and about to hit a mystery location that will be included in the next podcast episode.

Despite making Amsterdam their home base for 2018, the Gringas have still been making lots of time to travel! Amsterdam is a great hub for traveling in Europe, and the ladies made it a point this year to take full advantage of that fact.

The Gringas are back, and have knocked another two items off of their bucket lists: flying a plane and surviving the zombie apocalypse.

info_outlineIn the final chapter of the Relationshit trilogy, Kari and Kelly talk about when to walk away from a relationship...and when to run away screaming. When you’re a person of a certain age, should you settle at some point? When do you know when it’s time to hit the “tap out” button, whether that means staying or going?
If you don’t have a shared vision of the future, it might be time to go. See also: if you’re not sexually compatible or the chemistry just isn’t there. What happens when you’re no longer sexually attracted to your partner – or your partner is no longer sexually attracted to you?
The ladies also get into trust and communication issues, and what that looks like (if you’re constantly going through your partners’ phones looking for evidence of cheating, either you’ve got a broken boyfriend/girlfriend selector or you’re the one with trust issues.
Finally, what does an abusive relationship look like? Kari opens up about her experiences with emotional abuse, and the ladies talk about what different types of abuse can look like. When your partner constantly undermines or gaslights you, or generally treats you like shit, it’s time to go. If your partner ever hits you, it’s time to run away screaming (and get help on your way out, because it can be a dangerous situation).
