  • Episode 51: Holiday and Travel Eating Survival Guide

    It's the holiday season and, well, everyone is in a tissy about how and what to eat! With that in mind, in episode 51, Brandi and Tina revisit their very 1st episode on how to survive holiday and travel eating and YOU SHOULD TOO...revisit the episode that is. Seriously, just do it! Take a listen and know that if you just use your head it will all be just fine!

    From our original episode notes:
    In this inaugural episode of the Coaching and Cocktails podcast, coaches Brandi and Tina of Center Stage Athletics discuss how to stay on track with your nutrition when traveling, during holidays, parties, etc. Check out what they have to say inside, but here's a hint: It's NOT going to be what you think! Brandi and Tina discuss how all our fears about nutrition outside our perfectly prepped food comfort zone have NOTHING to do with the food and everything to do with where you are and where you have been mentally and emotionally. Want to learn more? Have a listen!

  • Episode 49: Burnout - The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle

    In Episode 48, Brandi and Tina discussed some of their own stress and feelings of being burned out. This week we bring you a discussion of HOW to start to end those eternally burned out feelings and how to break the stress cycle in their review of the book "Burnout - The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle" written by Emily and Amelia Nagoski.

    This groundbreaking book explains why women experience burnout differently than men—and provides a simple, science-based plan to help women minimize stress, manage emotions, and live a more joyful life.  Burnout. Many women in America have experienced it. What’s expected of women and what it’s really like to be a woman in today’s world are two very different things—and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between them.

    In this week's episode we'll tell you how we implement many of the book's strategies for ourselves and how we coach clients to help them break their own stress cycles.

  • Episode 48: Burnout - Airing Out Our Grievances

    It's been a rough week and we're here to tell you about it! In episode 48, Brandi and Tina discuss the difficulties of the week and wonder WHY we are so burned out all the time. This is a great lead-in to next week's episode and our review of the book "Burnout - The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle" by Emily and Amelia Nagoski. As we learn in the book, we're not alone in our burnout, in fact MOST women feel some sense of burnout, or low-grade stress simply because we are women.....uggghhhhh.

  • Episode 47: The Empowerment Project - Yvonne's Story

    Happy early 51st birthday Yvonne, the Female Bodybuilder!

    In Episode 47, Brandi and Tina are bringing you another Empowerment Project story. Meet Yvonne C.; just a week shy of her 51st birthday when this is released. She transformed into a female bodybuilder over the past year and a half, which culminated in her competing in her first ever bikini competition at the age of 50 just a few weeks ago. If you've ever thought it's too late (in life) to get fit and healthy, or even too late to accomplish a huge goal; think again because Yvonne's story will prove to you otherwise. Just a couple years ago she was facing impending health problems if she didn't do something to correct it. And did she ever do something!

    Listen to her story and find out how she not only got healthy physically, but transformed mentally, emotionally and spiritually into one of the most confident women we've ever met.

  • Episode 46: The Empowerment Project - Chris's Story

    In episode 46, Brandi and Tina are continuing on their journey to empower women by telling their stories. This is what we are calling The Empowerment Project. We're giving women the opportunity to tell THEIR stories (in case you're tired of hearing ours). We believe that in telling your story, whatever it is, gives you a sense of empowerment. It allows you to get "it" out of your head and once released into the universe whatever "it" is no longer has power over you. It can be cathartic, empowering, and most importantly can help someone else feel like they are not alone, or weird, or something is wrong with them. Everyone has a story and everyone has a counterpart in this world who can relate.

    In today's episode we get to share Christ Fuste's journey. Chris and Tina have been bodybuilding "friends" for many years, even sharing a stage together way back in 2009 (I think). Chris became a coaching client in 2019 and finally began her journey to healing some deep rooted body dysmorphia and disordered eating. Most importantly, Chris learned how to trust herself through the process of trusting in her coach. Follow along and I guarantee you will find, even if only a small part, of yourself in her story.

  • Episode 45: Improvement Season and Accountability

    In Episode 44 we you heard Lindsay tell her story followed by Brandi and Tina discussing some of the highlights. One of the themes extracted was the idea of what we're now calling the "Improvement Season." Most people consider the time between competitions, regardless of sport, the time to  get bigger, faster or stronger; focusing on the physical aspects of improvement. In this episode we are challenging everyone to view this as time to improve on much more than your physical. In order to truly consider yourself an athlete, in sport or in life, you must always be searching for ways to grow mentally as well as physically.

    We also take some time to discuss accountability and coaching and how these play into becoming the very best you can be. Whether you consider yourself an athlete or just want to improve yourself, there's a little something in this episode for everyone.
