Hi Friends! Today's episode is inspired by my own training journey. For the longest time I felt weird whenever someone would refer to me as an âathleteâ. Yes I am training for a performance based outcome of a triathlon, but no I did not feel as though I fit in the âbucketâ.
If you feel the same way, this episode is for YOU. For all of you listening- you are most likely an athlete or a performer. I will dig into what both of those mean to me, and go off on a few tangents along the way LOL.
As always, I appreciate the time you spend listening you all more than you could ever know.

Today Iâm sharing 10 signs that show you have grown in the gym (non physically). This episode was inspired by wanting to make a post about gym growth on instagram but couldn't condense it down into JUST 30 seconds or less (ugh attention spans).. Some of the signs on the list may sound like a âno shitâ idea, but those are sometimes the things that need to be reiterated the most. I hope you all enjoy!
Here are my 10 signs of gym growth:

Hi friends!
This podcast episode today was planned super last minute (changed my mind the day of recording) but I think it was totally worth it- podcasting doesnât always go as planned LOL
In this episode you can expect to hear about:
Instagram poll review: running vs. liftingAlpha girl strength instagram pageMy fitness journey and reflection on how my view of movement has changed over the last 7 yearsWhy I donât recommend tracking calories Dr. Stacy Sims Resource - Intermittent Fasting Navigating identity crisis in sport and fitnessAnd much more! I really care about this topic more than anything, mainly because I know itâs easy to do the most when it comes to fitness. Fitness doesnât need to be miserable and more importantly it shouldnât be used as punishment.
