#HURDLEMOMENT: On The Importance of Making Time for Self-Care With Natasha Hastings Jan 19, 2022

Show notes

Self-care isn't something that you automatically excel at. For many, it can be super challenging, despite its importance. Thats what I'm talking about today with Natasha Hastings, Gold medalist athlete-turned entrepreneur (and, past Hurdle guest!). We're talking about how the single mom makes time for herself, plus how she's learned to give herself grace when life gets hectic and things don't go as planned. Plus, she offers up some of her best-practice strategies to maintaining her peace, and some of the most helpful takeaways that she's learned from her therapist.

191. Gabi Butler, Cheerleader & 'Cheer' Star Jan 18, 2022

Show notes

“You be you, because at the end of the day you will only always have you.” Damn. What a statement from today’s Hurdle guest Gabi Butler. Gabi is a cheerleader and star of the NETFLIX series Cheer, which debuted its second season just a few days ago. We talk about it all: Her early days in cheer and Navarro, her work ethic and how much she appreciates coach Monica and the Navraro family, as well as her newfound relationship with God and how it helped her through the darkest months of the pandemic. Gabi brings such a positive and grateful attitude toward all of her experiences — good or bad. Her sentiments are a great reminder of how to look at your passion as a stepping stone in life to better let go of roadblocks and appreciate successes.

5-MINUTE FRIDAY: How I Finally Started Strength Training — Regularly Jan 14, 2022

Show notes

Sometimes you've just gotta get out of your own damn way. Small victory: I'm finally strength training regularly. That's a sentence I haven't been able to say since ... 2016? 2015? Today I'm talking about how I made this a regular habit, ridding myself of excuses, and saddling up to a challenge.

#HURDLEMOMENT: An Expert On Smarter Nutrition In 2022 Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

This episode has nothing to do with restriction (except that we talk about how it can be majorly detrimental). I call in Lisa Moskovitz, RD, CDN, author of The Core 3 Healthy Eating Planand the CEO of NY Nutrition Group, to talk about the types of resolutions and goals we should be making in 2022 when it comes to nourishing our bodies. Think things you should be adding in instead of getting rid of, nourishment beyond just food (content, energy), thinking about the "three B's", and choosing alcohol wisely (including my big $ idea).

190. Lexi duPont, Pro Skier Jan 10, 2022

Show notes

I have a massive crush on Lexi Dupont. There, I said it. The pro skier is one of the most down-to-earth, fun women I've had the pleasure of talking with in some time, and for episode 190, you'll find out why. We talk about Lexi getting into skiing and sport at a young age, and how she learned to conquer her fear of heights to go on crazy adventures, from skiing some of the world's most gnarly terrain to hiking up Kilimanjaro. We also talk about her new title — pilot (!) — and her excitement for the upcoming Freeride World Tour. Plus: The benefits of working with a sport psychologist to get out of her own way, and what she's looking forward to in the new year.

Show notes

Welcome to episode 4 of the Turning the Page series! Today, I'm bringing back one of the most listened guests of 2021: Alex Silver Fagan. I — and so many of you — was inspired by Alex’s story and raw vulnerability with her journey of mental health and checking herself into a mental health facility. Her reflection on her last 365 is equally as inspiring and she couldn’t have picked a better word for her 2021: Presence. BONUS: She even lets us in on her word for the new year.

TURNING THE PAGE: Aly Orady On Finding Strength In Tough Moments Jan 05, 2022

Show notes

Episode three of the "Turning the Page" series features my friend Aly Orady, CEO and founder of Tonal. The company grew at rapid speed in 2021, which sparked his word of the year: Strength. The strength it takes to pivot in difficult times, sure, but also the agility needed to proceed in a different way than originally expected. Aly talks to me about managing supply chain issues, I offer him one of my favorite book picks of 2021, and he tells me the advice he'd give to himself a year ago, knowing what he knows now.
