One of the coolest things about my work is I get to have hundreds of conversations with women about their health and fitness. All of the Warriors work one-on-one with me. They have two coaching calls a month. On these calls we talk about training, nutrition, strategy, mindset. And they normally produce some pretty cool concepts and ideas.

In this episode, I dive into various ideas and concepts that I've gathered from one-on-one coaching calls with the Warriors over the last couple of months. I share insights on the importance of intention in training, finding pleasure in being prepared, balancing passion and discipline, and embracing the long-term journey to fitness goals.

Additionally, I discuss strategies to overcome conflicting information in the fitness space and the significance of taking radical responsibility for your health and training. This stuff is gold and will help you win the game.

I’m takin' you BTS of the Warrior Queen Olympics – a 10-week challenge where warriors train like athletes in their chosen sport. I also had guest expert Dr. Stacy Sims join Warrior School to share her insights on the importance of being 'selfishly' committed to one's training and the concept of taking up space. I talk about the three biggest challenges you'll face when it comes to your training including managing your energy, and mindset and committing to the long-term process of building a strong foundation.

Key Topics:

• The launch of the Warrior Queen Olympics and what’s to come over the next 10 weeks.
• Testing week: Why trying new lifts and movements can be both humbling and incredibly empowering.
• Dr. Stacy Sims’ insights on training, eating, and recovering like an athlete, particularly for women in their 30s and 40s.
• The importance of being selfish with your time and energy as an athlete, and taking up space in every aspect of your life.
• My reflections on Steven Pressfield's concept of "The Resistance" and the journey of the athlete.
• The three critical questions every warrior must ask: How much do you love it? How much do you want it? And how much are you willing to give?
• Why falling in love with the process and cultivating joy in training is crucial for long-term success.
