It's been 8 weeks of training sessions with my mom and MIL already, so this episode is a re-cap of how it's gone, and the things that we've navigated. We've had the classic "why does this feel so heavy all of a sudden?" week, an old hamstring injury resurface, a bench press twinge, and a back twinge during deadlifts. I peel back the curtains on how I think during these moments, and exactly why I decide to pull back, shift into more of a rehab mode, and when I intentionally don't "overcorrect" for something that might be a future problem. You'll get insight into my practical, nuanced approach to see how I marry "ideal" with reality in coaching real life humans as we navigate their movement roadblocks together.

In this episode, I'm exploring what happens when all the health-driven habits like movement, meditation, and "taking care of yourself" start to feel like obligations instead of choices.There's a subtle resentment that grows when your body starts to become one more "responsibility to manage". If you've been going through the motions but feeling disconnected or frustrated that your body still isn't cooperating, this might explain why.

Guest Speaker Allison Tenney is a strength and conditioning coach and online business mentor for women who want real, sustainable strength. A former Division I collegiate coach, she brings an athlete's mindset and a no-BS approach to fitness and business, helping women reject quick fixes, build self-trust, and feel capable in their bodies and lives.

In this episode we talk about Allison's transition from coaching elite athletes to becoming an online strength and conditioning coach and the honest identity shift she had to make along the way. We dive into the foundation of her approach: starting from "I am enough", confronting perfectionism and shame that arise when we're disconnected from ourselves and each other, and building sustainable strength that carries into every part of life. We also hear her insights for coaches and movement professionals on leading with intention and creating human-centered programs that make a strong impact.
