Show notes

Is becoming a P&PA Coach right for you?

A look inside the cert and what people are actually doing with it.

Consider this episode a candid conversation between you and I, where you ask me everything you ever wanted to know about what to expect from the P&PA Cert, what's in it, and what people are actually doing with this knowledge (hint, starting businesses, scaling their coaching offers, coaching themselves and their friends, and more).

This episode is an answer to every FAQ and DM I get wanting to know if the certification is right for them.

Show notes

The much-anticipated podcast with THE Annie Thorisdottir is here! Annie is a 10x CrossFit Games Athlete, who podiumed at the games at 1 year postpartum. This was one of the most impactful episodes and interviewers I've ever recorded with someone. The vulnerability of her story, message, and behind-the-scenes experiences will blow you away, as it did me. I'm so grateful she opened up and shared so much of her reality and what it's been like since becoming a mom almost 2 years ago. She's everyone's favorite for a reason.
