  PSA to every woman: This episode will CHANGE the way you understand your body. It did for me.Have you ever felt emotional, exhausted, anxious, unmotivated, or completely unlike yourself and wondered what on earth is going on inside your body? Or maybe you’ve blamed something you couldn’t explain on a sentence like, “Hm. Must be my hormones,” while having no idea what that actually means.In this episode, Olivia sits down with hormone health coach Kiera Davis to make hormones feel understandable instead of overwhelming. They break down the four phases of the menstrual cycle and explain how each one can affect your mood, energy, workouts, productivity, dating, and relationships.Kiera also shares how her own experience with endometriosis, painful symptoms, and birth control led her to begin studying the female body and learning how to work with her hormones instead of constantly fighting against them.Olivia and Kiera discuss why consistency does not have to mean showing up exactly the same way every day, how to better communicate what your body needs, and why understanding your cycle can help you feel more empowered, connected, and confident in yourself.Your body is not working against you. It is communicating with you. Learning how to listen will become one of your greatest superpowers.Connect with Kiera:Instagram: @coachkwellnessConnect with Olivia:Instagram: @twentysomething_podcastTikTok: @twentysomething_podcastYouTube: @twentysomething-oliviaburnett

  Strong Over Skinny: Building a Body That Supports the Life You Want with Lacey Bruschke 08.07.2026 58min

  For years, women have been told that smaller is better. Smaller waist, smaller jeans, smaller number on the scale. But what if the goal was never to become the smallest version of yourself? What if the goal was to become strong enough to actually live the life you want?In this episode, Olivia and Lacey Bruschke talk about what it really means to build strength physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Lacey is a Registered Nurse, NASM-Certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, founder of Obsidian® Fitness in Millcreek, Utah, and creator of the Obsidian® Slide Board.With 20 years of experience teaching group fitness and 15 years as a certified personal trainer, Lacey has helped women build strength in a way that is challenging, sustainable, and supportive of their bodies. She created the Obsidian® Slide Board after recognizing the need for a workout that was low impact, high intensity, and accessible for everyone from beginners to skilled athletes.This conversation is not about getting a six-pack, fitting into a certain size, or believing that skinny is wrong. It is about learning how to build a body that supports your life, your energy, your confidence, your nervous system, and your long-term happiness.Olivia and Lacey talk about why strength matters more than the scale, how to approach food and fitness without becoming overwhelmed, what women often misunderstand about lifting weights, how exercise can help regulate your nervous system, and why sustainable health has to be built around what actually works for you.They also discuss meal prep, macros, GLP-1s, hydration, sleep, body image, the pressure women feel to be both tiny and toned, and how to start caring for your body from a place of love instead of punishment.If you have ever felt stuck in the cycle of trying to look better instead of feel better, this episode is for you.Connect with Olivia:Instagram: @twentysomething_podcastTikTok: @twentysomething_podcastYouTube: @TwentySomething-OliviaBurnett

Behind in life.In this episode, I talk about:why comparison affects us so deeply in our twentiesthe pressure of timelines we never consciously chosewhy uncertainty can feel like failurehow social media distorts progresswhat actually helps when you feel stuck, discouraged, or “late”times where I've really struggled feeling behindIf you’ve been feeling overwhelmed watching everyone else move forward while you’re still figuring things out, join the club.

  Exploring Different Religions, Asking the Hard Questions, and Healing from Sexual Abuse with Logan Green 06.05.2026 1h

  In this episode of Twenty Something, we sit down with Logan Green for an honest conversation about faith, healing, shame, and what it looks like to ask yourself and God the hard questions.Sometimes, asking questions about your religion can feel scary. It can feel like doubting, betraying God, or stepping too far outside of what you’ve always known. But instead of avoiding those questions, Logan has taken a different approach. He has started asking them directly, exploring different churches and religious communities, studying what they believe, and trying to learn as much as he can from the ways other people worship and connect with God or a higher power.Logan also opens up about his experience healing from childhood sexual abuse, the religious guilt and confusion that followed, and how finally talking about what happened became part of his healing. Together, we talk about sitting in uncertainty, learning to feel safe again, finding common ground across different faiths, releasing shame, and creating enough stillness to hear what your body, soul, and God might be trying to tell you.In this episode, you’ll learn about:How to ask honest questions about your faith without feeling like you’re doing something wrongWhy exploring different beliefs can deepen your understanding of God instead of pulling you further awayHow shame can shape the way you see yourself, your body, your relationships, and your faithWhat it can look like to begin talking about painful experiences you’ve kept buriedWhy sitting with uncertainty can actually become part of finding peaceHow stillness, honesty, and self-awareness can help you reconnect with yourself and GodConnect with Logan Instagram: @lmg.journalConnect with Liv Instagram: @twentysomething_podcast TikTok: @twentysomething_podcast YouTube: @TwentySomething-OliviaBurnettContent disclosure: This episode includes a discussion of childhood sexual abuse, trauma, shame, and religious guilt.

  There’s a version of your life you want.But if you’re honest, you probably don’t fully let yourself go there.Because hoping for it feels risky. If you really want it, and it doesn’t happen, that disappointment hits harder.So instead, you stay somewhere in the middle.

  In your 20s, it can feel like you’re doing everything right… and still somehow falling behind.You’re working, trying to build a life you actually want, navigating relationships, figuring out your faith, and instead of clarity, you’re left with more questions. About God. About timing.

  Navigating Grief, Love, and Life After Loss with Shay Martin 17.03.2026 49min

  In this episode, I sit down with Shay Martin for an honest and deeply human conversation about what it looks like to keep living after loss. At just 25 years old, Shay’s husband, Tanner, was diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer. What followed was years of navigating treatments, uncertainty, and learning how to hold onto hope while facing a reality neither of them expected so young. Along the way, Shay and Tanner shared their journey online, building a community of hundreds of thousands of people who followed their story, drawn to their honesty, their love, and the way they chose to keep living fully, even in the hardest circumstances. In 2025, Shay became a mother to their daughter, AmyLou. Just weeks later, Tanner passed away, leaving Shay to navigate grief, motherhood, and a completely reimagined life all at once. In this conversation, Shay opens up about what grief actually feels like beyond the moment of loss, how it changes over time, how joy and sadness can coexist, and what it means to carry love forward instead of feeling like you have to move on. We talk about what helps (and what doesn’t) when someone is grieving, how to support people in hard seasons, and how to keep becoming when life looks nothing like what you planned. Whether you’re navigating loss, heartbreak, or simply a season that didn’t turn out the way you hoped, this episode will meet you there.
