Have you ever felt like you finally found your groove with training like your workouts feel good, your energy is high, you’re hitting PRs and then your period shows up and suddenly the momentum you were building comes comes to a screeching halt?

In this episode, I’m sharing a very real and honest conversation about something I’ve been navigating myself as I’ve stepped more fully into my identity as an athlete. As I’ve taken my training more seriously through running, swimming, Hyrox, and endurance-based goals, I’ve noticed how challenging it can be when my body asks me to slow down during certain phases of my cycle.

For a long time, I viewed those lower-energy days as an interruption to my progress. But recently, I’ve been exploring a different perspective: What if my cycle isn’t getting in the way of my training? What if it’s actually part of it?

In this episode, we’re talking about:
 • The frustration many active women feel around their cycle and performance
 • Why “pushing through” isn’t always the answer
 • The mindset shift that’s helping me stop fighting my body
 • What athletic maturity really looks like
 • How to trust that you’re not losing progress when you need more rest
 • The difference between training harder and training smarter

If you’ve ever felt discouraged by your changing energy levels throughout the month, this conversation is for you.

Because becoming an embodied athlete isn’t about performing at your peak every single day…it’s about learning to work with your body, not against it.

Ever find yourself quitting on a workout even though you know you had more left in the tank?

In this episode, I'm sharing a real coaching conversation with one of my clients who recently got back into running after having her daughter, hip surgery and weight gain. After a training run, she found herself frustrated because she talked herself out of finishing the last quarter mile when the road started to incline.

We dive into the mental side of training and the mindset shifts that can help you push through resistance, build resilience, and start thinking like an athlete again.

In this episode, you'll learn:
• Why you're probably not actually "stuck" or "blocked"
• The difference between choosing comfort and choosing growth
• How to build mental toughness one workout at a time
• Simple strategies to help you push through difficult moments during training
• How future pacing can help you become the athlete you're working to be
