Whine, Women & Workouts

For my birthday week, I'm celebrating by finally dropping the conversation with one of my favorite new people in Masters Track and Field. Amanda Roberts came in and took over the scene for her first full season ending as a National Champion! She proves that it can be done, with hard work and a great attitude. This week, we chat as newbies about our feelings on the first year of competing. What did we learn? What would we do differently? It's all here. The official show notes and WWW merch are available here. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/AsiaStormborn/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/AsiaStormborn/support

We've made it to Episode 7! I thought it was a good idea to check in with you all, thank you for your ears, and share some tips I've learned about athleting on a budget. I also share what I learned in answer to the question: Should WOMEN have sex the night before competition?

I've been wanting to talk to Easter Grant about the realities of #tracklife as a woman for a while now. We never really get to sit and chat because she's in the Division just below mine, so during meets our schedules never align. Easter has World Titles, National Titles, and National Records, and is one of the fastest women in the Masters world! I loved getting to talk to her about her goals, what life is like as a single woman on the circuit, and how she plans to take on World Championships again next year. As expected, she delivered a real conversation about finding her WHY, and using her intuition to progress and dominate.

CONTENT WARNING: Today’s episode features the topic of child rape and assault and may not be an episode you should listen to if these topics are triggers for you. I felt this was a topic that deserves to be discussed especially among women athletes. However, the abuse does not only happen in sports. If you or someone you know needs help, please call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656 HOPE. This is a free, confidential hotline you can call 24/7. You can also chat with the hotline online at www.rainn.org. This week's episode features the courage and resilience of a woman who found strength and power on the field as a WNFC football player. What I loved about Nori's story was how she describes exactly what it means to "leave it on the field."

This week, I chat with a woman who personifies determination. Rashida Gates has always enjoyed fitness, but it wasn't until AFTER she turned 40 that she made her mark by putting in the work and becoming a Nationally ranked Bikini competitor. What I loved about our conversation was that she didn't even realize that she was as awesome as she is. She is so genuinely humble. She also dropped the gem that I took and adapted for my life: your reward is outside of your comfort zone. Sometimes, we find our reward by listening to the coaching, mentors, and guidance that is all around us.

This episode ended up being longer than expected. But that's because the conversation with Rachel Guest was just that awesome. I couldn't cut anything out. This woman does so much that I was literally sweaty just trying to list everything in her introduction. Not only is she a 10-time World Champion in Masters Track & Field as a Heptathlete and Hurdler, a mother of two and wife, but she also coaches Track & Field and owns her own business. But I think her super secret power is getting others to believe in the outcome, and pushing us to do more.

I had a great conversation with Dianne DeOliveira, the founder and coach for the Bella N Motion Track Club, about embracing the feminine side of being an athlete, and how she was able to turn an obstacle into one of USATF Masters Division's newest head-turning Track Clubs.

This was the hardest episode for me to complete. I find it really hard to just sit and talk about myself. That's probably why the episode is only 15 minutes long. But, I do share the easiest way to get free stuff from me while listening to future episodes, and describe what Masters Track & Field brings to the table.
