189. Kirsten Ferguson, Peloton Instructor Dec 27, 2021

Show notes

Kirsten Ferguson has conquered a whole lotta hurdles in the last decade. From struggling to have children and navigating multiple miscarriages to dealing with divorce, she's learned time and time again the power of faith and resilience. For episode 189, she talks to me about how she got into fitness — eventually teaching Spin from home during the pandemic — and the beautiful way that Peloton came into her life when she needed it most. I cannot say thank you enough to her for her openness, and as she says in our chat, acknowledging that speaking out — specifically about miscarriage — will help make other women feel less alone on their journey.

5-MINUTE FRIDAY: The One Thing I've Never Felt Good About Doing Alone Dec 24, 2021

Show notes

In today's episode of 5-MINUTE FRIDAY, I'm talking about where my head's at with an upcoming hurdle; a reminder that just because you've conquered similar #hurdlemoments in the past doesn't mean that you won't feel uneasy about new ones as they come.

188. Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy, 'Dancing With the Stars' Pro Dec 20, 2021

Show notes

For Season 30 of Dancing With the Stars, Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy made history with partner Jojo Siwa as the first same sex couple in the show’s history. Today, I’m chatting with the DWTS vet about that and so much more, including how she got to be a pro on the show in the first place — growing up dancing competitively and winning international titles — plus her gateway to TV competing on So You Think You Can Dance. We also talk about her decision to move to LA at 18 and the difficulties she faced as she gained a following on social media — especially how troubling it was when other people started to vocalize how THEY felt about her body. Cue conversations around body dysmorphia, weight loss, and the creative outlet aside from dance that helped her come into her own and cope with various mental health battles. Plus, we rap about her husband Val and what’s on deck for her now that season 30 is over.

All year long, a little bit of kindness can go a long way. But around the holidays, there's something special about seeing people do good.

#HURDLEMOMENT: An Expert On How to Maintain Weight Loss Dec 15, 2021

Show notes

Today I'm connecting with Dr. Gary Foster, Chief Science Officer at WW, a psychologist and obesity investigator. Statistics show that weight loss maintenance is extremely difficult, so much so that a majority of people who lose weight gain some (or all) of it back. After losing 70 pounds in college and keeping a majority of it off myself, I was excited about the opportunity to offer up what worked for me with some expert feedback in today's episode. Of note: This is NOT me suggesting that anyone needs to lose weight. Rather, having Dr. Foster weigh in on how to upkeep weight loss for those that are interested.

187. Courtney Dauwalter, Ultra Runner Dec 13, 2021

Show notes

Today I sit down with arguably the best female ultra runner in the world, Courtney Dauwalter. You may recognize her name from her most recent dominant performance at Ultra-Trail Cape Town, finishing in first place with a time of 11:20:04, and for those who don’t know, that's a 100K (62+ -mile!) trail race. Superwoman is an understatement here. She has a slew of other medals under her belt, which we talk about in this episode, but we also dig into so much more. From the ins and outs of all things trail running, to Courtney’s journey into the sport, to how it’s never too late to pivot and follow your passion. (Courtney’s professional running career started at 32-years-old.) Plus: Her advice for anyone going through a tough hurdle of their own and her go-to pre- and post-run eats (hint: pancakes are involved).

5-MINUTE FRIDAY: Life's Too Short To Stay Unhappy Dec 10, 2021

Show notes

Two very different examples to exemplify ~why~ this has been top of mind this week. Moral: We get to choose what happens next, so stop doing things because you feel like you "should" and start doing things that bring you joy. Also! Answering a listener question about what to do when the new person you're seeing flakes — but you really, really liked them.
