Hey all! Been a hot minute

Coming back so chill it cracked me up - blanket, tea, housemate hops in to feature and qna, it's all here

Joy and I met backstage at a powerlifting comp last year and have discussed how strength training helps resolve and uplift lives post breakup

In this episode we speak on communication and self reflection in a relationship, the anxious avoidant loop, outsourcing power in a relationship, and regaining power through strength. We also touched on childhood influences of our body perception and how males preferences for female bodies are often different to the body that we think we need to fit.

It's another one of the many reasons strength training changes lives. I have had clients who start with me after a relationship to find a sense of self capability, redirection and personal discovery that so frequently comes from a journey like this.

Hope you enjoy our convo and insights!

Looking forward to more! If you have any questions (or would like to guest) send me a DM on IG

At what point do we need to sacrifice wellness for performance in pursuit of our goals

and what's the difference between training for aesthetics and performance?

Laura has some great insights, and with such similar approaches to our coaching our chat had me in goosebumps!
