Built to be You

Send us Fan Mail

FULL TRANSPARENCY this is the first episode I've ever cried, actual tears while recording because I had to go to the deepest corner of my courage closet to show up here in this space with authenticity and vulnerability ALONGSIDE you today and I hope to encourage you to do the same after you are done listening..

To find the courage to be the women you were meant to be.
To have the tough conversations.
To tap in to your full potential.
To honor what it is you need. 
To know that being a human, gets to be hard. 

This episode isn’t professional advice, I’m not a therapist, but I am a women on a mission to empower others to build and become the best version of themselves 

If you feel as if this episode might be a trigger for you- please pause and pick another episode of BTBY and come back to this one in a season where it can serve you better.

I've been learning what my own crisis mode is. Having out of body experiences that I didn't know how to feel, name or navigate. Sharing my raw truth in hopes to NORMALIZE going through the full human experience-- the good, bad and ugly. We are locking arms TOGETHER on this one because I too, am navigating these un-chartered waters where I am learning how to be more fully myself and align my boundaries even more.

This episode was SO FUN to record. I got to bring on my running bestie, partner and crime and business parter, Erin.

We have a fully transparent and fun convo about building our business, Strides for Strength from the ground up over the last ~6 months. We talk about the meaning behind our business, how its impacted not only our lives but the lives of our athletes. The whole process has truly been a learning curve for both of us but we both keep saying, DAILY, 'this is all turning out so much better than we ever could've imagined' and I hope you use our story and this episode to go chase YOUR dreams. 

We talk about self-doubt, comparison, social media and SO MUCH MORE.

We even share a VERY fun and exciting event we have coming up in Winter of 2023. Make sure to come connect with us on IG on our business account @stridesforstrength to learn about how we help our athletes on the run and BEYOND.

I already love this series SO much but Savannah is a light in my life on so many different levels. Although we've never met in real life, I can feel her compassion, pain, drive and purpose in life through IG. I believe there is so much POWER in women sharing their stories. It brings comfort to silence, community to feelings of being alone and PURPOSE to community.

Resistance— 'that sometimes gross, I don’t feel good about what I am doing feeling'

Not feeling certain you’re on the right path 
The deep gut feeling of something being off 
Feeling like no matter what you do, nothing is working for you— the weight isn’t being lost, you aren’t getting up on your first alarm, you can’t get in to a good routine, etc. Like no matter how much time, energy, effort you are putting in to PUSH forward life is PUSHING you right back 

Might stop you dead in your tracks, have an ugly cry meltdown but hey, you get to pick yourself up again and decided what GETS to come next 

This episode we talk about what to do when you start to feel resistance in your life. I explain a story that I am navigating in real time when it comes to navigating my own resistance.

Do you ever compare YOURSELF to a previous version of you?

Maybe you were more fit, smaller in size, more disciplined, more excited, etc. 

You keep telling yourself that version of you TODAY, right now, listening to this ‘should be doing things differently’ 

Negative comparison like this can keep you stuck, leave you feeling less than

& let’s be honest you are NOT supposed to operate at the same level, with the same work ethic, the same discipline, grit, resilience— all of the time 

Just like seasons change outside, seasons change in your life, you will ebb and flow with energy, goals, ambition, drive and that is OKAY 

I leave you with THREE questions to ask yourself to check in with yourself and ask if you are truly honoring the season you are in.

Afraid of being the 'new kid?' WE ALL DO. 

I’ve been working with a lot of newbies recently.. new nurses in my 1:1 coaching practice, new athletes in my run coaching biz and I am seeing a  few common themes

• Ego getting in the way of allowing yourself to be a beginner
• Instant gratification getting in the way of progress 
• Struggles with finding consistency in building new habits
• Negative self talk when a goal requires redirection 

The choice you have right now, today in front of you is to be stuck where you’re at, doing the same thing you’ve always done OR to give yourself the permission to stand the f up, take action and MAYBE fall down a couple times before you get a good handle on what it is you’re doing.
