Canadian eventer Jessica Phoenix rode both of her World Equestrian Team hopefuls at this weekend’s Bromont CIC event near Montreal: Bogue Sound competed in the CIC 3 star where he did the dressage and show jumping, and Pavarotti, her Pan American gold and silver medal and 2014 World Equestrian Games partner finished 9th in the CIC 2 star.  It was a busy week with five rides altogether at her local event but this was all in a day’s work for the the 35 year old mother of two; Jacob 7 and Jordan 3. Jess has not been without her ups and downs in the sport; In 2015 she suffered a rotational fall at the Jersey Fresh event in the U.S., which resulted in three broken ribs, a broken sacrum plus liver damage that was surgically repaired. The following year she experienced a controversial team selection for the Rio Olympic Games before an appeal successfully overturned an earlier omission from the squad and she went on to finish 38th in her second Olympic Games.  The final team selection for this year’s World Equestrian Games will be announced on September 1st so Jessica is hoping to make her third WEG and show that Phoenix is once again on the rise.

In this episode Yoga Teacher Claire Deacon addresses mental health issues and how yoga can help anxiety, stress and depression, will share some key poses. For people suffering from anxiety in this anxious world, yoga can be a lifeline.  Whereas anxiety was considered a way to survive in the days we had predators. Claire explains that she believes thoughts become things which is why it’s important to choose the good ones, to stay positive as much as possible. She recommends being conscious of what the mind is doing, life is full of challenges and worry becomes an issue when it affects diet and sleep patterns. Anxiety can creep in when you are expected to perform beyond what is usually expected in a given situation.  The key is to banish those thoughts and how they control your life. Anxiety requires a lot of self reflection to let it go. When we are anxious we sometimes run on adrenaline and when that adrenaline stops and crashes so do we which can lead to depression. Clare describes poses to help you relieve the symptoms of anxiety and depression to help you cope with day to day life and see refuge in you and the benefits it can have on your mental health. Regular yoga practice encourages you to remain calm and relaxed in daily life. Each type of yoga is infused with breathing techniques and body movements that can help you control feelings of discomfort. Yoga is designed to strengthen your mind, emotions, body, and soul. If you feel anxiety or depression creeping in, you have the strength, breathing techniques and tools to calm yourself down naturally. For those suffering from anxiety, yoga can be an absolute lifeline.

On this week’s episode Kristin Ray chats with Professional Image Expert, Janice Hurley. Having worked with many former female athletes on their professional image, Janice talks with Kristin about the two words women should use when framing their work image: successful and attractive. If we strive for those two things, rather than words like “feminine” or “respectable”, we may find it easier to decide how to present ourselves at work, especially in male-dominated environments. She also shares with listeners the pros and cons of dressing an athletic frame and how to do it best.
