Welcome back to another episode! Today, Mak and Ashley sit down and talk about the nature of communication within areas of various sports. They focus on weightlifting, swimming, and running as they have experience in these sports and they tend to emphasize an “ideal body” of individuals, directly or indirectly. Through Ashley’s experience of being an elite athlete, who competed in the Olympic swimming trials, to then taking on CrossFit and Mak’s experience of running a marathon, they offer a unique perspective that will provide beneficial information. All of the resources used in the podcast are cited below for reference.

Thank you for listening and make sure to comment, review, and subscribe to this podcast! Have a great day!

Hey everyone! In this episode, we dive into all things personality tests. From the Enneagram to the Myers Briggs test, there are many ways to learn more about yourself. But nowadays social media has hyped these tests up so much that we begin to only identify with our results rather than our authentic selves. So sit back and enjoy this episode where we talk about the different types of tests and our personal "labels".
