Heavily Scaled

Have you checked in on your goals or resolutions lately? Are they still moving forward with some momentum or have you let them slowly die? Today Gabi and Joe Mills chat about how goal setting can get messy and how you can make your goals stick throughout the year. Don't worry there's no time to get back on track if you've strayed.

Gabi shares how the Four Rules from her budgeting app, You Need A Budget (YNAB), can be applied to life and fitness. The rules aren't hard but they do require some reflection and consistency, but ultimately they're meant to help you gain control of your money...and your life!

And if you're interested in a new budgeting app, check out YNAB. You get a 34-day free trial and if you sign up with this link, we both get a free month 😁

Facebook groups can be great to connect people, share ideas, and even encourage our fitness journeys, but they aren't perfect simply because they're made up of humans who are, well, imperfect. Today, Gabi talks with Melissa McLeod and Shanique Allen. The three came to know each other after being part of the same fitness community FB group. They discuss how some spaces that are meant to be inclusive are actually not, and how Black people have to create their own communities where they can openly share and be authentic.

Today Gabi (and her special co-host), talk about the best routine for you. Spoiler alert, it's the one you can commit to consistently.

Gabi's first episode of 2021 reflects on the quote, "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got." You've heard it before and it might seem cliché, but the message matters nonetheless.

Today Gabi sits down with fellow Summit Coach, Shane Cavanaugh. They dive into how Shane takes on the roles of CrossFit competitor and CrossFit fitness coach. 

Shane is a great person and a fantastic coach; if you're interested in working with him (in-person or remotely) reach out to him on Instagram, @shanecavanaugh3.

Today Gabi tackles the question, “What does it actually look like to be an effective learner?” When you practice learning with intentionality you ultimately invest in yourself. And Gabi’s daughter makes an appearance. You can get more details by checking out the McKinsey article mentioned in the episode.
