LIVE from the 2020 Center Stage Athletics Women's Life Athlete Retreat, Brandi and Tina host a Q&A with their attendees. Learn from those who have experienced it first hand; the good, bad and just plain old truth about what it's like to compete. Why is peeing in a cup recommended? What's the tanning process really like? What the heck is a reverse diet? What is it like to be on stage? And why is Patty so obsessed with KitKats? This is a no holds barred, show and tell it like it is from real women, with real questions and real stage experience. Have burning questions of your own that we didn't answer? Don't forget to join us afterwards for discussion in our Coaching & Cocktails FB Discussion group!

Ever wonder about what Brandi and Tina do all day? How glamorous is the life of one who works from home and runs their own coaching business. In Episode 16, we'll give you all a peek inside our daily lives. As we were leading up to our retreat, we had to stay 'light' with our topic for the week. Some of the conversation may be a little rambling, but that's really what we're like in real life so have a listen and enjoy a glimpse inside the "glamorous life" of being a coach!

CAUTION: Images in the mirror may be distorted by social media constructed ideas of beauty and over-filtered highlight reels. In Episode 15, Tina & Brandi dig deep into the topic of body image and how social media has run amuck in the minds and emotions of women (and men) everywhere! We discuss strategies and ways to flip the script on the negative stories you tell and say #fuckthescale while still being able to work toward your goals while maintaining your sanity.

In Episode 14, Brandi and Tina interview long-time Center Stage Athletics Coaching client Rebecca W. In this interview we discuss what it takes to become a champion Figure Pro. Time, consistency, focus and unwavering commitment to the journey is what it took to take this one-time 'skinny fat' young woman to a two-time figure pro (WNBF and OCB) in 2019; including a Class B 2nd place finish in her Pro Figure debut at the 2019 OCB Yorton Cup.

Don't get weird, use your head, everything will be OK.
Welcome to Coaching & Cocktails, where Team CSFP coaches Tina and Ginny talk about life, health, fitness,…
We’re not here to lecture. We’re here to tell the truth, share our lived experience, and sprinkle in some humor, realism, and science—shaken, not stirred.
If you want a podcast that feels like coaching, therapy, and girl talk had a baby (and that baby lifted weights), pull up a chair. Laugh with us, learn something new, and remember: you’re absolutely not alone on your journey.
