In this conversation with 5x CrossFit Games athlete Bethany Shadburne (@bethanycf), we talk about a lot more than the sport of CrossFit. She's big into personal development and working on her mindset and we dive into that, among other things, in this episode. It's a good one! 

In this conversation we discuss:

• How to separate your identity from what you do for work, as an athlete, etc. 
• Bethany's thoughts on young women coming up in the sport 
• How she works through body image issues and struggling to not over-train 
• What motivates her to complete and how her motivation/fuel has changed over time

• The power of self-talk and positive affirmations 
• and more!
