Today I am sharing some much needed life & career updates!

On this episode we talk about:

• The journey I've been on as an online business owner for the past (10!) years.
• What I thought I wanted vs. what I got--and how it actually felt to accomplish many of my goals.
• How the online fitness business space has changed over the years and why I low key hate social media and selling fitness online right now.
• Why I recently made the decision to close Kettlebell Social--my online program that I worked so hard on.
• What I'm doing instead (DIY! Custom programming, 1:1 training, dance stuff!)
• Why this decision feels like growth and evolution vs. failure.
• Why I no longer believe that online fitness/being an entrepreneur is inherently better than in person fitness or working for someone else.
• The truth about selling fitness online.
• Why I'm glad I never became a true influencer.
• Giving yourself permission to follow ease/flow vs. struggle.
• The year of the fire horse.
• So many other good things!

Dr. Jen Hosler is back today, because after regularly recording me mini podcast episodes in Voxer when we were working together, I knew there was even more good stuff she needed to share with you all.

She has graciously listened to me whine for months about why my body needs special exercises, special shoes, special sleep, and special vitamins to get through my days without pain while other people seem to just get along fine without any of it. Today she is gracing us with her presence again!

Dr. Jen is a physical therapist and strength coach dedicated to bridging the gap between fitness and rehab. With degrees in exercise science and physical therapy, combined with her own experience of chronic pain and injuries, Jen’s mission is to help people move better, build resilience, and achieve their goals without pain or limitations. She works with active people to overcome nagging injuries and movement restrictions and she mentors fitness & movement professionals to do the same for their clients.

On this episode we talk about:

• Why your body feels so high maintenance.
• Why typical treatments don't seem to work for you.
• How hypermobility exists on a spectrum and how to know if you might be on it.
• The connections between hypermobility, neurodivergence, chronic pain, and living in a sensitive body.
• Interoception--and the wild reasons you might have a hard time decoding what your body is telling you.
• Allll the things that affect our experience of pain.
• Changing your relationship with pain by understanding your unique body better.
• What we wish more physical therapists (and other providers) did to help us manage injuries.
• Why living in a sensitive body might actually save you from unnecessary pain and mobility issues as you age.
• So many other good things!

Today I'm back with short solo episode about how incredibly bored I am with my workouts lately. You too? Let's talk about it.

On this episode we talk about:

• How strength training is sometimes just boring and repetitive.
• Asking why you "don't wanna" and working around the arbitrary rules keeping you stuck.
• Classes--they can be both awesome and annoying all at once.
• Trying new things, mixing up your routine, and learning new skills to spice things up.
• How YOU are the common denominator in every kind of workout you do--AKA program hopping isn't always the answer.
• Why I love doing short kettlebell complexes outside in the summer.
• Adding in movement snacks to your day while you're doing other things.
• Why seasonal activities absolutely "count" as a workout. (Yes, especially yard work.)
• Why it's ok to split up a longer workout into smaller chunks, even if you're following a program.
• Normalizing doing it anyway, even when you don't feel like it--in the same way we do all sorts of other boring shit in our lives every day.
• All-or-nothing mindset and the fact that sometimes it's ok to do nothing.
• What your lack of interest in working out could be telling you.
• So many other good things!
