Communication Refocused

Meet Kari. Listening to this talk all over again got me thinking - all of the talks do, but this one pushed a button. We talked about social media use, competing and the transition from competing. There's some other things sprinkles in there too.

Her computer died, but the change of scenery brought a new distraction – the Christmas tree made of lights on her wall, we jumped a bit more and wrapped it up. For part 1, check it out here.

You want awkward, you want distracted – Rebecca and I have you covered. I started following her on her fitness account because she would should these bicep flex photos and her lifts and it just made me smile. The images made me feel like it was ok that I “selfied” hard. You could see how […]

Meet Sam. Pronouns: they and them. They were a client of mine when I first started coaching. Sam has changed since we worked together and I couldn’t be more proud of them. We talked about everything from their transition and recovery from surgery to LGBT rights and politics. It was so nice getting to know […]

Meet Tyree or Ty. He made himself a superhero, or at least I’m sure 10-year-old Ty would think so. For fun, he powerlifts. By day, he’s works with homeless populations in Wisconsin. Go ahead, your heart can melt, mine did. From public health and homelessness to sports and body image our conversation covered a lot […]

Camille owns the Canadian clothing company, Honest Language. It’s her grind by night and by day she does accounting, but if you catch her at just the right moment, you’ll learn that her day job sometimes creeps into weekend nights. We talked primarily about mental health and how that led her to starting her company […]

Meet Shannon. Just as her profile would suggest she’s a lawyer who lifts. She’s a hit the stage as a figure competitor and on the platform for power lifting as well. Over the past year, she left her job at a firm in Florida to start her own practice based out of Texas. You’ll learn […]

Meet Kristina – with a K. Behind the awesome eyebrows and weightloss story is a 27 year-old who is looking for a job in forensic linguistics. Sadly, it’s not like CSI per say. From make up to hair to weightloss to jobs and parents poor naming skills, it’s a good time for these Cristina/Kristina(s) to […]

Meet Allison. Some know her as Ally from wellnesswithally, but she actually goes by Allison. She’s a 30-something a holistic health and nutrition coach who is studying functional medicine. She comes from a background of personal training and has experience with bodybuilding, but says that health and fitness have evolved and become something else for […]

I’m Cristina – you probably know me as @RunSweatEatRepeat and this is Communication Refocused. I’m excited for this new adventure. I’m not sure where it’ll go, but I do know that I’ve had the chance to meet some interesting people that I admire and I’m excited to get to know more. For all episodes check […]

Meet Susan. She’s a 40-something and my jaw dropped when she told me that. See, this is why knowing names and ages can be important – it gives some context. We talk about her job, my previous jobs, self-perception, the perception those have about us. We also talk about the energy we’re giving back and […]
