We all know how important sleep is, especially for athletes. It's where we do the majority of our recovering from training, it's what leaves us feeling fresh and ready to get after it the following day, and it's extremely important for maintaining hormonal balance within the body. If you aren't getting a good night's sleep, you're missing out on a huge portion of your fitness journey. I've been using a PerformaSleep mattress for over a year now, and my sleep has never been better. Every PerformaSleep mattress has this thing called CopperGel Technology, which offers a cooler nights sleep and added support where needed. It helps you're your spine in proper alignment, which helps prevent any back pain. It also doesn't use traditional memory foam. Instead, they use Enersorb. Enersorb cradles your body to alleviate pressure, but also has a little bounce to it. So instead of sinking into a bed, it's like floating right on top of a comfy cloud. The top of each mattress is made with TenCel, a wicking fabric that helps you sleep cooler. On top of that, all Performa Sleep mattress are made right at home here in the US. I can honestly say I can't imagine not sleeping on a Performa Sleep mattress now that I've had one for so long. If you want to start getting the best sleep of your life, head over to PerformaSleep.com and use the code "EMILY125" for $125 off your mattress.

EP. 20 The Wonder Woman Mentality Unpacked | WONDER WOMAN WEDNESDAY Dec 27, 2017

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode!

You guys have heard me talk for YEARS about my "Wonder Woman Mentality."

"Become your own Wonder Woman. Don't rely on the energy of the outside world to fuel you. Find out what makes YOU strong and what makes YOU awesome, and run with it."

December, for many of us, is a month of reflection. I've really been reflecting on my "Wonder Woman Mentality" these past couple of weeks, and I've been taking sort of a personal inventory of what it truly means to me, line by line, and what I hope it means to you guys. I think it's really easy to establish a mantra or a power phrase or whatever and use it, but then kind of forget what it actually means to you. This mantra/mentality/manifesto/whatever you want to call it has been such a guiding light in my journey both in fitness, but also as a human being. I think part of why it means so much to me is because it's a reminder of MY strength and MY power, which I think is something that us women tend to forget all too easily.

Let's dive in to what the Wonder Woman Mentality means, and what it looks like to take that and apply it to yourself, your life, and your truth.
