24 | In Defense of an Unbalanced Life: Why Something’s Gotta Give
May 22, 2018 07:00The quest for balance is something I hear about all the time. How can we create our dream business, win that powerlifting meet, have a family, keep our day job, be the fittest chick in the gym, and find time for self care and adventure and down time.. all at once??! The pressure to not only do it ALL, but to do it all in beautiful harmony with a smile on our face is real. Can it be done? Should it be done? Here’s my argument for why living in the unbalance is not only ok, but suggested, f...

May 15, 2018 07:00Whether you’re a coach, a trainer, a fitness professional of any kind, or ANY sort of leader, influencer or teacher, this episode is a must-listen. My experience as a hands-on CrossFit L1 and USAW coach, combined with being a teacher and influencer through my business, has taught me a few things that I want to share with anyone who is trying to make an impact and share concepts or ideas.

22 | Best Practices for Athletes: How to Be a Great Student
May 08, 2018 07:00Or, 5 things your CrossFit coaches wish they could tell you. But if you’re not a CrossFitter, fear not. There’s still some goodness in here for you, because not only is this transferable to ANY sport, but most things on this list apply to simply how to be a great student of *anything*. These 5 things are what I would consider best practices for athletes (or students) of any kind, and will be sure to enhance your experience in the gym and beyond. Stay tuned for next week where I break down...
21 | Listener Q+A: My Story
May 01, 2018 07:00You asked, I answered. This episode is all about my journey, but really focused on the beginnings and journey of two major turning points: getting healthy and starting this biz. How did I make the transition from a smoker to being committed to health and fitness? Was there a turning point? How have I managed to keep it up after all these years? Why and how did I start this blog and business? How has it evolved? How do I manage it all? If I wasn’t in the health and fitness industry, what ...

19 | 5 Steps to Manage Overwhelm + Get it All Done
April 17, 2018 07:00Is your to-do list as long as a CVS receipt? Are you struggling to stay organized, prioritize, or take action on the things that need doing? Home, career, errands, social life, side hustles, oh my! There’s a lot we feel we need to stay on top of these days and I don’t know about you, but usually I end up feeling helplessly pinned underneath the 21 car pileup of overwhelm. In this episode I break down the 5 steps that I personally use to help me turn overwhelm into (organized) action. This...
18 | Food Dogma, Fear + Perfection [Part 2]: The Rules vs Sustainability
April 10, 2018 07:00Last week’s episode was Part 1 of this 2 part series, where we discussed why finding a diet that works for you can be hard when dogmatic beliefs about nutrition are being shared everywhere. The fear mongering out there is real, and the labels are holding us back. So now that we know that a black or white approach to nutrition isn’t serving us, this episode explores how we can begin to tip our toe into the gray area in between. The feeling that we must be adhering to a diet perfectly is ano...
BONUS 1 | Coffee Talk with Kristin Kaschak of The Girl With the Butter
April 06, 2018 07:00Bonus episodes are here! My goal with bonus episodes is to break up the show with a little fun. Bonus episodes will vary in content (and length) but today we are getting started with a Coffee Talk Episode with my friend Kristin Kaschak of The Girl with the Butter. Come hang out with us as we catch up, crack ourselves up, talk shop and generally just chit chat about life. In this episode we chat about the CrossFit Open and muscle ups, what we’re up to next in the gym (read about The Bigne...
17 | Food Dogma, Fear + Perfection [Part 1]: How the Labels Are Holding Us Back
April 03, 2018 07:00Ever notice how quickly a nutritional conversation feels a whole lot like discussing politics? Right or wrong, black or white, with very little gray area or NUANCE. With so many people clearly stating that *this* way is the only way to be healthy, no wonder there’s so much confusion about food out there right now. Paleo. Plant Based. Keto. Vegan. The many labels in the nutritional world right now are taking over, and with them come dogmatic, and often fear-based, perspectives on what’s rig...
16 | How to Get Better at CrossFit (or Anything)
March 27, 2018 07:00The Open is over… now what? If you’re like me, you might be left wandering aimlessly in the gym after so many weeks (and months) of focused effort on prepping for, performing in, and recovering from the Open. It takes a lot of mental, emotional, and of course, physical, capacity to go through that, and when it’s over, we’re all left wondering, what’s next? You know what your strengths and weaknesses are, so how do you actually get better? In this episode I focus on CrossFit, but the truth...
15 | On Judgement: How to Put Down the Gavel
March 20, 2018 07:00People will love you, and people will hate you, and none of it will have anything to do with you. The creepy mirrored funhouse that is judgement is a world that’s worth your attention. If you are someone who is constantly judging the way others are dressing, speaking, behaving, or otherwise living, chances are pretty good that you’re also being just as critical with yourself. This episode is about how we can heal our relationships to ourselves, and be more happy, compassionate and at peace...
14 | Cut the Crap, Face Your Fears, + Love Your Life with Lauren Zander
March 13, 2018 07:00Living an authentic life, facing up to your internal dialogue and bad habits, failure, dreaming big(ger), and so much more: this interview with Lauren Handel Zander has allthethings. Her book, Maybe It’s You, instantly became one of my all time faves, and her no BS style is sure to inspire you to investigate the ways in which you might be getting in your own way of living the life of your dreams. Some of my favorite lines from this interview: “If you have no tolerance for failure, you ...
13 | The Art of Giving 100%: Why Comparison is the Thief of Joy
March 06, 2018 08:00A workout. A competition. A presentation. Any time we’re put the the test, why are we SO quick to point out the 37 ways in which we could have done better? Why do we immediately list all the ways in which we were disadvantaged, or that our competition had some distinct advantage that we didn’t have? Why is unapologetically delivering 100% effort so damn hard for us to do? With the Open in full swing, this is an especially important time to consider these questions, and more importantly, ma...
12 | F**k the Scale: 10 Ways to Measure Health Beyond Body Fat
February 27, 2018 08:00Is there anything that the average American woman fears more than the bathroom scale? This tiny little piece of plastic has the power to make us feel happy, devastated, confident or ashamed, and even when we don’t want to be swayed by it, we are. Beyond the scale impacting our mood, one of the biggest fallacies about the number flashing back at us is that it is a reflection of our HEALTH. And just isn’t that simple. We need to stop conflating thinness or leanness with health, because the t...

How to eat, how to train, best recovery tips, and of course, how to master your mindset to ditc...
10 | 5 Tips for Getting Sufficient Protein Every Day
February 13, 2018 08:00If you’re looking to drop body fat, decrease your cravings, build lean muscle mass, level out your blood sugar, feel more satiated after meals, perform better in the gym, shift your overall body composition, or pretty much make any change to your health, body, or performance, upping your protein intake is probably the answer. In this episode I explain why protein is so important for everyone from the athlete to the less active, what the true recommended daily intake looks like, and then sh...
9 | Life Detox: The Clean-Outs + Audits Worth Doing
February 06, 2018 08:00When you hear “detox” you probably think of a 5 day juice cleanse, but that’s not the kind of detox we’re talking about today. There are a couple areas of life that benefit from regular editing— from our physical space and environment, to our social media and IRL social circles, and more. Combing through these areas with a discerning eye can help us be more productive, more confident, less stressed, healthier, more empowered, and ultimately, happier. Learn about my favorite (and the mos...
8 | All About Supplements: My Personal AM, Workout + PM Routine
January 30, 2018 08:00Creatine? Protein? Glutamine? Poutine? Maybelline? What? I get asked all the time about my feelings on certain supplements, so today I’m doing a rundown of my personal routine: the vitamins and supplements I take every morning, everything I put in my pre-, intra-, and post-workout drinks, and my daily nighttime ritual with an important mineral. My morning collagen smoothie I make everyday My workout supplement routine Some of my favorite brands THE NUTRITION LAB SEATTLE CrossFit Ope...

January 23, 2018 08:00Fully embracing the seasons of life is a huge part of what I preach, and in this episode I share how I’m not just talking the talk, but walking the walk. I share my experience with seeing my body change, how I feel about it, what surprised me, and what I ultimately want to share with YOU about my journey.

6 | Your Word Choice Matters
January 16, 2018 04:50Whether we realize it or not, the words we use impact our mindset, our feelings about ourselves, what we believe we’re capable of, and more. How we talk about ourselves at work, to our partner, to our friends, at the gym, when we’re eating, etc, create a baseline and belief system that we operate from, whether we are aware of it or not. We cannot change what we do not notice, so in this episode I’m sharing some of the biggest ways we are shooting ourselves in the foot, creating limitations,...
5 | Diets: The Good, the Bad, + the Ugly
January 07, 2018 22:29Or, maybe more accurately: “Diets: the potential benefits that we ignore, the ways they are frequently misused, and the ways in which they are full blown abused by most people”. I break down the ways in which we find ourselves trapped in on/off diet cycles, always reaching for the next trendy program in search of a magic pill, instead of working with these programs to create sustainable and positive change.
4 | Self Care Beyond the Face Masks
January 05, 2018 01:29Self care: so hot right now. While bubble baths and days off are certainly part of the deal, I’m sharing 10 of my favorite ways to #selfcare that might be a little unorthodox.. But they're effective! To not only show yourself kindness + patience, but empower yourself and grow as a person. Learn my go-to ways that I protect my energy, challenge myself in a healthy and productive way, show myself kindness, remove negative lingering thoughts, and more.
3 | Conquering Gymtimidation
January 03, 2018 06:14Whether you're brand new to a fitness routine (hello New Year Resolution!), or you've been at it for a while, sometimes our own head gets the better of us. We fear looking stupid (being the new guy is tough!), we get caught up in competition, or we worry that the people around us are judging our bodies, abilities, and life choices while we work out. This is an expansion off of a blog post I recently wrote that arms you with 5 steps to stop this insecurity in it's tracks and get you feeling G...
