You are only as strong as your last recovery. We all need to rest, and not just because resting makes us more productive. It’s because rest and recovery are essential to being human and being strong. The legend, TV show and podcast host and Peloton superfan, the Bronx’s own Desus Nice joins us to talk about recovering from hustle culture and the joy of being part of someone else’s rest time. We’re also joined by psychiatrist Dr. Pooja Lakshmin to talk about tapping into our feeling brain versus our thinking brain in order to rest.

Research tells us that a key part of enduring and persevering is envisioning the future. And a big part of that envisioning is hope. Hope for the future you want. Peloton Member Jess Morales Rocketto is an organizer for social change. She thinks of her job as motivating people into their purpose: What do you care about? Why do you care about it and what are you going to do about it? She’s often pretty sure that something is going to push her past her limits and that it will be difficult but she does it anyway - and that is endurance.

Endurance is both physical and emotional. We build physical endurance so that we can keep going in the face of everything that life throws at us. We practice perseverance so that we can keep pushing towards the life that we dream of. So today we're going to talk about how to train for our discomfort and then how to create a clear vision for getting there. Peloton Instructor Robin Arzón joins us and talks about what it takes to run 27 marathons - how much of it is in your mentality. Dr. Carla Meijen - sports psychologist - takes us on a deep dive of our relationship to pain.

Today’s episode features Robin Arzón - @robinnyc and Carla Meijen - @CarlaMeijen.

Comedy writer Caitie Delaney has had a topsy turvy relationship with her body image. With brutal honesty, Caitie talks about the ways she sees herself, what she thought would change if her body changed and what really didn’t change at all. She’s just like us - trying to figure out the best way to love herself, get fit and also be honest about the baggage she’s coming to it all with. It’s a process y’all!

This is the most challenging theme of the season! Body image. It’s locked into body ideals (which change), pop culture (which changes), and broader society (which always wants us to change). But it never takes into account that bodies also change!  We’re asking a lot of questions about where the concept of body ideals come from and what it means to how we perceive ourselves. Professor Nancy Chen, joins us to go deep on the history and how trends of body ideals change over time. Mustard also joins us for a conversation about starting his journey to finding his physical strength.  How we perceive our bodies sometimes becomes our greatest obstacle to growth. We’re here to help it become our strength.

Today’s episode features Professor Nancy Chen. You can watch her TED Talk Here. The episode also features Mustard  - @mustard.

#PelotonGrandma for the win! Shirley Beard of Seattle has spent a lifetime figuring out what it means to be exactly who she is meant to be. With the wisdom of age, this knitter and grandma realized that instead of comparing herself and her fitness and her success to people around her, she needed to focus on the strides she herself was making every day and cheering on the people on the leaderboard near her too.

You can’t compare your insides to somebody else’s outsides! In our age of anxiety and social media, we all engage in sometimes subtle, and sometimes overt, comparison all day long — to our peers, to our coworkers, to our old high school crushes, to the biggest celebrities on the planet. Let’s flip that around! Peloton Instructor Emma Lovewell joins us to talk about how to find inspiration from her peers instead of comparing herself. Princeton University Psychologist Susan Fiske, author of “Envy Up, Scorn Down”, joins us to talk about how we change our target of comparison to be ourselves vs ourselves instead of ourselves vs everyone else. 

Today’s episode features Emma Lovewell (@emmalovewell) and Susan Fiske (fiskelab.org).
