Women's Healthy Living Club Podcast

A solo cast reflecting on a new approach I took to managing the holidays and how I broke the cycle of binging that the holiday season used to trigger for me. Four (or five) solid tips that helped me enjoy the holidays feasts without ruining progress, without shame, and without feeling so stuffed that it hurts for a few days. Listen, try it, throw some out, keep some too.

An interview with new friend, and jiu-jitsu blue belt, Cami Lee. We talk about why we love training Jiu-Jitsu, differences in training pace, what we love and hate about BJJ, injury prevention, and the role massage can play in improving recovery. We also reflect a little on Roll Model Grappling Camp, where we met. Cami used to be a massage therapist and shares her knowledge in this area as it applied to athletic recovery and injury prevention. We touch on the importance of protecting your energy as a service worker. We get into massage, how it works, and different styles that can support athletic recovery.
