Ep.76: Kill Cliff Athlete Brooke Ence Dec 18, 2014

Show notes

We are so excited to welcome Kill Cliff athlete Brooke Ence on the podcast this week! You may know Brooke as “that girl” who was in all the 2014 Open demo videos… but now you know her as that badass who was on GGW (that’s how this works, right?)! In this episode, we learn all about Brooke: including her love for modern dance, how she went from 120th place in the Open in 2012 to 6th place at Regionals in 2014, and her hopes for herÂ future as a CrossFit athlete and ambassador. Brooke talks about why lifting weights and doing hard things in general is important for women, and tells us what it’s like to run a 5k with your arm in a sling. Which reminds me… we totally have dibs on Brooke for our zombie apocalypse team. Just saying.

Ep.75: Steph Gaudreau from Stupid Easy Paleo is Back! Dec 11, 2014

Show notes

We are so excited to have Steph Gaudreau from Stupid Easy Paleo with us again this week! Steph is a serious fountain of knowledge when it comes to Paleo, CrossFit, and spending time with a heavy barbell, and in this episode we talk all about the importance of weightlifting for women, and about the physiological reasons why lifting can be way better for your hormones, brain, muscles, and body composition goals than cardio–especially if you’re a chick. We also talk about her upcoming book, The Performance Paleo Cookbook; what makes it different from her other books, and why you are probably gonna want to add itÂ to your shelf. And if you missed it, don’tÂ forget to listen to Episode 62 to hear her first appearance on GGW!

Ep.74: You Should Skip This Episode Dec 04, 2014

Show notes

It’s a little bit of everything you love about GGW! But only if you’re a die hard listener otherwise you’re probably wondering who spiked our Kill Cliff. This week we sit down to recap our Thanksgiving holiday, Claire’s birthday celebration, Joy’s last day of work, and Claire’s never ending studying schedule. We cover some Crossfit, we answer a listener question, and we dive in to talking about tracking macros without Joy’s head exploding. In fact, she might even do it for like, a day. Settle in and hold on folks, we do not disappoint in the bunny-trail-movie-quotes-hilarious-laughter department this week.

Ep.73: Happy Thanksgiving! Nov 27, 2014

Show notes

Happy Thanksgiving, GGW fam! We are thankful for you! In this episode, we once again expound upon the virtues of gravy, talk about our family’s most hoarded Thanksgiving recipes, and about the fact that pie is way better for breakfast. We also take a few listener questions, and talk about plateaus, favorite beauty products,Â would-you-rathers, and that one time that Claire went into Sephora by herself for the first timeÂ and it felt like a cosmetics Ellis Island. We hope you listen to this while enjoying lots ofÂ gravy and/or whipped cream, and hopefully not while trying to avoid your in-laws. But hey, it happens.

Ep.72: Girl Power and the Offseason Nov 20, 2014

Show notes

You know that feeling of going crazy because someone else thinks you’re acting crazy? Call it a self-fulfilling prophecy, but as women, we get it all the time. You must be overreacting because you’re PMS’ing, right? In this episode, we debunk that myth, and air some grievances about what it’s like to have your feelings invalidated, no matter the reason. We also talk about Claire’s CrossFit offseason, Joy’s icy hot addiction, and our favorite modifications for push-ups (hint: they aren’t called “girl” push-ups either).

Ep.71: Functional Movement with Dina Kudlicki Nov 13, 2014

Show notes

In this week’s episode, we are joined by Certified Fascial Stretch Therapist and Functional Movement Professional Dina Kudlicki, who you might remember as the women who changed Claire’s life–and hips–foreverÂ atÂ Girls Gone Rx. We grill Dina about what the heck functional movement is anyway, the best ways to mobilize your hips and back, and she even gives us some tips about how to tell whether your back pain orÂ knee pain is actually caused byÂ problems in totally other parts of your body. Which is how we find out thatÂ heel bone’s connected to the… forehead bone? Who knew!

Ep.69: Life Changes and Dog Farts Oct 30, 2014

Show notes

Mercury retrograde is finally over, and the birth canal and cave of wisdom are back big time. Joy announces a big life change that’s been a year in the making, and we finally Google “Mercury in Retrograde” to figure out what the heck that even means. We also talk about CrossFit Halloween costumes, hips and squats, and celebrate JT’s one year anniversary of being Joy’s dog. And as his part of the celebration, JTÂ drops a major dog fart bomb in the middle of the episode, which is always appreciated. Thanks, buddy.

Ep.68: CrossFit Love Fest Oct 23, 2014

Show notes

A whole (almost) hour of actually talking about CrossFit? Believe it! In this episode, Claire talks about what she’s learned from the past 6 months of coaching, Joy discusses what coaching styles work for her, and we agree that this sport can get a little messy, but that’s why we love it! We also remind ourselves about the awesome mind-clearing benefits of a grueling WOD, which you just can’t get from a hamstring extension machine. Last but not least, a giant earwig tries to crawl up the back of Claire’s head in the middle of theÂ episode… We edited out most of the screaming, but still. Ew.

Ep.67: The First Time Oct 16, 2014

Show notes

In this week’s episode we recap Joy’s recent competition and how Claire forgot about it and ended up in Moab instead. We discuss the crazy fears associated with doing scary things like rope climbs and realize that, you guys duh, Crossfit is hard. Joy recovers from her competition with a trip to Lulu. Claire is up to her neck in grad school homework. We update you on our 2nd Accountable Eating Challenge and remind each other that this isn’t The Whole 30, so calm down if you’re obsessing over a piece of fruit, go back and listen to episode 66 with Lisa and Nathalia. Finally, we talk about your first time watching Mean Girls. Which then leads to talking about first times……of….doing stuff. And then we change the subject faster than you can say Camille Leblanc-Bazinet.
