  • Ep. 78: Reclaiming Rest
    It is not uncommon in Black communities (and some other communities of color) to grow up being told to keep one's head down and hustle. All the time. 
    Melissa and Shanique are back this week and they're talking about the importance of rest. More importantly they're talking about the importance of and strategies for protecting rest in a society that tells us we always have to be on and working all the time.

    This week Shanique Allen and Melissa McLeod take over for Gabi. How can we better connect with the people we love about fitness and food without forcing it on them?

  • Ep. 74: The Enneagram and CrossFit

    Gabi is joined by Katie Mills and Lauren Turner to discuss personalities as defined by the Enneagram and how they show up at the gym. The Enneagram is a set of nine personality types in the world that describes how individuals see the world and their motivations that drive behavior. Everyone has a basic personality type, but they can be expressed differently from person to person. 

    Full disclaimer: none of us are experts on the Enneagram and we don't recommend you just walk around trying to classify people. If you want to use the Enneagram for personality development and to improve your relationships, then go for it.
