Team Meal Plan/Prep - Yay or Nay? // Chase Series
In a world of diet culture vs. anti-diet culture, can we find some peace between counting EVERY macro and eating purely intuitive?
Personally, I think that some meal prep & planning gives you the best of both world, and here's why!
My #1 Struggle as a Retired Athlete // Chase Series
Okay...so I'm not really "retired" yet.
But I have been struggling with this one thing since leaving college athletics - and I'd bet you can relate!
Listen and then reach out and tell me if you can relate.
Toeing the Line of Dedication & Disorder. // Chase Series
Dedication is a trait that is pivotal in athletic success.
But when does dedication (specifically around food) turn into disorder? What's the difference?
If you are you on a strict diet for the betterment of your competitions, isn't that dedication?
The answer isn't the easiest...but this one differentiation between dedication and disorder is incredibly important and could change the game for you.
What Makes You Feel Worthy? w/ Christina Lecuyer
With the New Year in full swing, this podcast goes out to all you resolution-ers.
Having goals is wonderful, but remember to check back in with yourself on where you are placing your worth.

Christina is a former professional golfer, and a Confidence & Mindset Coach. She reminds everyone that they are #worthyAF - all by themselves.
Is Your Entire Identity Athlete? // Chase Series
As a part of a series of episodes recorded from my beloved Chase Lounge.
Is "Athlete" Your Entire Identity?
Athlete Identity...what a powerful thing.
A what yields power can build us up or destroy us (didn't someone say that in Lord of the Rings or something?) What do we do when our whole identity and worth is tied into athletics? How does that look if we step away from competing? What can we do to bring out identity and worth into other areas of our life?
How to Navigate Transitions w/ Uma Naralkar - aka Face it, your activity level & body will change at some point...Here's how to deal with it.
How do you transition away from competitive athletics?
How do you go from being super active to taking a FT, sedentary job?
What about when you have kids? As you grow older?
Our bodies are going to go through a lot of changes and we need to be able to manage and thrive in those transitions.
We talk about this and more in this podcast. With notes on mindset, intuitive eating, your relationship with yourself and your body, and your worth.
