Welcome to the YogiTriathlete podcast and Join Jess, Mindset and Wellness Coach for YogiTriathlete, and Melissa Herbalist and Triathlon/Running Coach for the first in a series of conversations dedicated to Women's Wellness.

So, unbeknownst to either of these women, they were both contemplating how to use their experience and knowledge to better serve women in endurance sports. And when Jess received a hit to create this series alongside Melissa, she came on board without hesitation.

These two coaches are here for you, for spouses and partners of women, to explore curiosities about women's wellness within athletics and how herbs and wellness practices can better support performance and overall health.
