This week's guest created an app, a platform, and a book to be the change she wanted to see in the world. Her name is Krista Stryker, and she grew up fairly inactive, physically speaking. She was, however, an avid reader and writer who thought that one day, she would become a journalist. 

After being called “spaghetti arms” by her brother one afternoon and being challenged to do push-ups, Krista decided to take her physical fitness more seriously. She went on to become an NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer, working long hours in New York gym before realizing that there was a better way to pursue her love of movement.

Krista discovered HIIT training from the comfort of her living room and not only did she feel stronger and more confident than ever before, but her clients started seeing remarkable results as well! This all culminated in the 12 Minute Athlete platform, which is now used by more than 500,000 people worldwide.

In today’s episode, Krista speaks candidly about her journey with mental health and how she learned to manage depression and anxiety through meditation and mindful activity. She also shares her mission to help you become stronger and more confident using whatever you have at your disposal, and to embrace the process over the outcome with the understanding that mastery is not about completing something or graduating to the next level; it's about the refinement of skill.
