Ok guys, let’s bring the pendulum back to the center. This week we recap the amazing responses to last week’s episode, talk a little bit about the comparison trap, and think of some strategies for tricking yourself into feeling amazing when you don’t feel so amazing.

We swing the pendulum a little in this episode, from goofy and playful last week to dealing with some real life crap this week. We have a check-in about the Year of Less, which turns into a gut check about anxiety, work/life balance, and what happens when you feel like you just can’t get ahead. Joy shares some details about the health struggles she’s had in the past year, and we talk about the damage that unrealistic expectations can have on our lives. Support the podcast!

Our nutrition series continues this week with the amazing Jason Phillips. Jason’s journey began with a battle with anorexia, which stemmed from his experience living everyone’s 90s dream as an Abercrombie model who was discovered in a mall. Spoiler alert, it was less glamorous than we all hoped it would be. However since recovering from his eating disorder, he has used the knowledge and wisdom he gained from his experience and has gone on to receive a degree in exercise science, consult for reality weight loss shows, travel with the PGA tour, and has helped several functional fitness athletes improve performance with Driven Performance Labs, Jason Phillips Nutrition, and The Driven Life.   Support the podcast!

This week we are back with some answers to a few listener questions, and we start off with a doozy! We open this week’s episode talking about radical acceptance and what that looks like in our lives, from decisions about motherhood to letting go of expectations from our past. We also talk about how to find a routine when you’re feeling depressed or have trauma in your life, and how to mix things up when you’re in a rut.

Except actually, it’s 1 MILLION downloads and we couldn’t be more thankful! This episode celebrates reaching our millionth-download milestone with some 2017 CrossFit Open predictions, a little bit of singing, and a few amazing listener emails and reviews. We also talk about the Year of Less and what we’ve learned in the first few weeks of the new year about how to be ok with asking less of yourself. Which sounds kinda crazy, but it just might work.

We are honored to welcome Adee from Working Against Gravity back to GGW this week! In this episode we try to move away from the normal macro talk, and ask Adee about her experience growing a business and an empire, how she has dealt with her own body image journey, how she handles the pressure to be successful, and how she is working to reframe her identity away from “the girl with the abs.”  Be sure to check out Ep. 131 for Adee’s first GGW appearance!

It’s the last Thursday of 2016, which means it’s time to talk New Year’s resolutions! We dive pretty deep into what was tough about 2016, what we’re ready for in 2017, and how to use the New Year to think about the bigger picture of your life. No pressure. But first we talk about pelvic floor physical therapy and barre classes, and how they both require using tiny muscles you didn’t even know you had! Support the podcast!

A little bit of self-reflection, a little bit of Open anticipation, a little bit of real talk… must be another J&C episode! This week we discuss the upcoming Open (how is it already almost the Open. Again.) and Joy’s fear of owning her Masters’ aspirations. We also talk about where Claire is at with continuing to grapple with her post-baby body, and the realization that even though a year has gone by, the work is only now really beginning. A quick check-in on macros and some talk about our upcoming L2 seminar… and Voila! Another Thursday in the bag! Support the podcast! Click the SUBSCRIBE button on iTunes!

It’s just you and us this week, GGW fam! We are back with a J&C episode to catch up, and I’m gonna give it to you straight: we’re in a bit of a funk. This week we admit that winter is tough, life can be crappy, and sometimes being all positive quotes and inspirational memes is not the answer. But first we revisit the story of how GGW came to be, make sure we’re all on the same page about the fact that we are not actually related to Mom Sandy (but we wish we were), and share one of the most amazing listener creations we’ve ever received!

Whew! It’s been over 2 months since we sat down with just the two of us, which is ridiculous! We love all of our amazing guests but it’s time to catch up. Spray tans, macros, the election (groan, I know, but I mean it’s a major world event so we kind of needed to debrief), and marriage hacks all have their moment in this episode, which also features drinking canned wine out of a straw and a little bit of singing.

This week we are so excited to bring Nicole Carroll, the CrossFit Director of Training and Certification, to GGW! Nicole joins us to talk about how she went from living at a yoga center in the hills of Santa Cruz, to training at the first CrossFit gym, to running around the country developing the early L1, to heading up the entire international training and certification program today. And of course, how she came to be the zen master of the Open announcements… because where would we be without her soothing voice to calm us down after Dave Castro tells us we’re doing a Fran ladder again.

This was a pretty big week in the GGW world, as we flew to CFHQ to interview Greg Glassman, founder and CEO of CrossFit. Greg reached out to us this summer and wanted to have a conversation about functional aesthetic, and the idea of “a better beautiful.” We obviously jumped at the opportunity, and are so excited to share this conversation with you guys today. Greg talks about the change in our cultural mindset when it comes to what is considered beautiful, and how we can continue to evolve the conversation in a world where unattainable beauty standards have been around as long as humankind. And we find out why Greg wants CrossFitters to focus our fitness journey on health and biomarkers, not on ideal body types, PRs, or even a podium spot at The CrossFit Games.

This week we are joined by Shellie Edington, winner of the 2016 CrossFit Games 50-54 Masters division! Shellie’s fitness journey started as a teenage gymnast training with Mary Lou Retton, but she didn’t find CrossFit until decades later through her business, Tumblin4Kids. Shellie tells us all about how she got into CrossFit, how she started competing, and what it really looks like to reclaim your fitness in your late 40s and 50s. And of course, what it takes to become a champion CrossFitter! We also work on some not-so-subversive messaging to get Joy ready for #sleighridetomasters. Oh, it’s happening. Support the podcast!

It’s been over two years since Krissy Mae Cagney was last on GGW (Episode 55–check it out!), and a lot has changed in her world to say the least. This week we catch up with Krissy about her move from NYC to Reno, her renewed love for backpacking and her new outdoor company ELLO, what it’s been like to open and run Black Iron Gym, and take a look at her continued macros journey as one of the first voices for macro counting in the CrossFit community (including her recent transition to veganism!). Plus, of course, lots of shenanigans and bunny trails, and maybe even a mention of Jay-Z and golden toilets. Just saying. Support the podcast! Click the SUBSCRIBE button on iTunes!

It was love at first sight with Nadia when we saw her CFHQ feature playing on the jumbotron at The CrossFit Games… and then fate stepped in and only a few minutes later she walked right up to us! We were instantly smitten and we know you will be too. Nadia is a CrossFit HQ Seminar Staff, Level 4 Certified CrossFit Coach, owner of CrossFit Belltown, and all-around legit CrossFit OG. In this episode, we chat with Nadia about everything from overcoming obstacles, to weighing and measuring food, starting your own business, and keeping the spark alive when your CrossFit relationship starts approaching the 10-year mark.

Juli’s back! It’s time for our biannual Juli update and we are just so frickin excited. In this episode we catch up with Juli and find out what she’s been up to; answer a bunch of listener questions about her life, favorite products, skin care routine, workout routine, and her latest collab with Cassie of “Fed and Fit”; and generally just have a blast as always. Need more Juli? (the answer is YES!) You can catch Juli in the archives on Episodes 14 (what!), 109, and 147, too   Support the podcast! Click the SUBSCRIBE button on iTunes!

In a Podcast-inception, The Girls Gone WOD Podcast and 321Go Podcast join forces to bring you a joint episode from two perspectives. For the gym owners listening, this is an important episode. While on the surface, this was a (really) fun conversation, I think we can take away much more. Specifically: 1. Content - You MUST create regular content to your audience. No excuses. Rip off the band-aid and get it done. 2. What are your future members feeling before they join? This is HUGE. Joy shares her experience of joining a CrossFit gym. What can you take away from this unique perspective? 3. Your story. Have you shared this? Written it down? Taken a video? How often do you share it? Claire and Joy push me to share mine and it was a nice realization that I need to do so more often. To get involved with the Hub 30 for 30 challenge, go to 321goproject.com/HUB

There’s something about the start of fall that just makes us want to set goals! But we will admit, our relationship with goal setting has been a rollercoaster over the years, which is why we start this episode by re-visiting the first goals we ever set on the podcast… aaannd basically laughing at them. But y’know, we learned from them too, and this week we talk about the learning process that is goal setting, why goals are still important, and how to manage your day-to-day reality with the expectations you have for your life. We even (gasp!) set some actual real goals for the rest of the year. Support the podcast! Click the SUBSCRIBE button on iTunes! Please leave us a review on itunes!!

We love interviewing great people, but sometimes it’s refreshing to just sit down for a J&C episode! This week we put on our therapy hats and answer your questions about balancing life and expectations in the gym and with your diet, using CrossFit to cope with anxiety and stress, and how to muster up the courage to step into the box for the first time. We also give a little State of the Podcast address, and get back to the roots of why we do what we do and the driving force behind this little project called GGW.

We are back from Carson, and as expected we are super drunk on CrossFit Koolaid and loving every minute of it! Joy met Bob Harper, Sandy smooched Coach Burgener, and Claire didn’t even get sunburned… I’d say the weekend was a big WIN. In this episode we recap our Games experience, including our favorite vendors and new products, thoughts on the ring push-ups, and TDC’s hairstyle choices. And now we just want to live in a place where we can wear booty shorts and eat sweet potato and avocado and drink bulletproof coffee all day every day… Is it time to go back to CrossFitLand yet? This episode of Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by Joshua Tree Skin Care  

This week we welcome back #superfanChrisG for his record-setting 5th podcast appearance, and Claire’s husband Brandon makes his GGW debut! We know it’s called “Girls” Gone WOD, but on this episode, the boys finally get their say–and we have to admit, they do a pretty great job. We cover topics from male body image to gender roles, marriage hacks, the least creepy way to give compliments to fellow female athletes, and way more. Turns out we have some pretty great guys in our lives, and we think you’re gonna like them, too. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO http://qalo.com  

Well you might have noticed this episode is a little shorter than usual, but life happens… and so do crying babies. Yep, this week’s episode got cut a little short by a fussy Miles, but we like to think we made up for it with an episode filled with actual CrossFit topics! We discuss the WODs we’ve been doing lately, Claire talks about feeling like she’s finally caught the CrossFit bug again, and Joy talks about her latest PRs. Joy talks about her new kinda-predictable goal, and Claire talks about a new totally-outta-left-field goal, and we finally review the ICON undies. See? I told you it was packed! Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO http://qalo.com

Marriage hacks. Everyone’s got em, everyone needs em (even if you aren’t married!), and this episode is full of em! From sock sorting to snack separation, positive feedback, compromise, and love languages, we read favorite marriage hacks from our listeners and divulge our own (let’s just say we kinda hope Brandon and Scott never listen to this episode). This week we also talk about body image and our ever-changing relationship with the way that we look, and Claire gets real about postpartum depression. Not gonna lie, we kind of have our therapy hats on this week. Or therapy donut headbands. Whatever floats your boat. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO http://qalo.com      

Even though last week was an old-fashioned J&C episode, it still feels like it’s been forever since we really caught up. So this week we seek to remedy that! We discuss our favorite products lately, talk about a few summer goals, and find out what the difference is between people who love morning WODs (aka Joy) and people who will just never love mornings no matter how hard they try (aka Claire). Last but not least we try out a new segment where we ask each other for advice, and up this week are questions about food prep and staying motivated in the face of plateaus. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO http://qalo.com    

Even though we are still dealing with trust issues about that 14.5 repeat, this episode is all about moving on with our lives. Joy talks about her new Metcon loyalty (hashtag Reebok van), Claire talks about finally getting back in the gym on a regular basis, we give an update on our WAG progress, and talk about motivating yourself to stick with tough goals. We also revisit the all-too-familiar (but still very important!) question about whether or not CrossFit really is dangerous, and what you can do to make sure you have a safe experience.

Athlete Elisa Schauer is hanging out with us on the podcast this week, and we are so excited to have her! Elisa has an endurance and triathlon background, and originally found CrossFit to satisfy her itch for intensity and a team atmosphere. She went from not being able to do a single banded pull-up to setting her sights on Regionals–and along the way she conquered an eating disorder, gained a new appreciation for her body, and even changed careers to become a full-time CFL1. Elisa is also a consultant for The Feed X, which is now offering our custom curated Girls Gone WOD Box… so go check it out! Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO http://qalo.com

It’s another installment of the CrossFit Open extravaganza, and this week we are joined by Coach Mike and SuperFanChrisG! We are live for Dave Castro’s (somewhat bizarre charades version) announcement, and then go straight into discussions about technique, strategy, and planning for the WOD. Hint: Just keep moving! And of course, since Coach Mike loves CrossFit more than anyone else we know, and because Chris G. is Chris G., a fair amount of general CrossFit love and excessive randomness goes on in this episode, too. I mean, we were drinking wine. We regret nothing. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO http://qalo.com

Crossfit Open 2016 continues! This week we watch the Open announcement live with Crossfit Jai’s owner/head coach TJ Binkley. TJ was our second guest ever on GGW Podcast and we’re thrilled to have him back to help calm our nerves for yet another brutal WOD. He breaks it down in to what he thinks will be the most important part of the WOD, so be sure to listen to this episode before you complete 16.2! Remember to tag us in your Open scores and give us a shout out on your performance. We love seeing your badassery! Now go get it!! Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO http://qalo.com

We LOVE Nicole Christensen, CF Seminar staff and owner at CrossFit Roots. So much so that we had to bring her back for a third episode! We discuss what Nicole has learned through CrossFitting during two pregnancies, using CrossFit to recover postpartum, and coaching over 20 pregnant athletes in the past few years. And we obviously can’t ignore the fact that the frickin 2015 CROSSFIT OPEN starts today! We have our predictions, Nicole has hers, but we all agree that the Open makes people go crazy. But hey, bring it on! Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO http://qalo.com      

Our Regina George Patron Saint candle is lit for this episode, and the Mean Girls references are flowing. And seriously guys, Mean Girls applies to everything. And this Thursday, “everything” includes a little bit of girl power and a discussion about feminism and the best advice we’ve gotten as women. We also channel our inner Oprah and discuss some of our favorite things, and last but not least, The Open! You guys! How is it only one week away?! Excuse us, we have some minor panicking to do. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO http://qalo.com

This week’s Q&A edition covers your questions about how to support a partner with anxiety, how to build confidence under the bar and finally nail your double-unders, our favorite (ok, Joy’s favorite) Sephora products, Claire’s tips for maternity workout wear, the secret to Joy’s amazing legging game, and way more. We just love Q&A episodes (because we LOVE to hear your questions!), and this one might be our best yet! Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO http://qalo.com

It’s time for another good ole fashioned catch-up sesh! So get ready to hear about beauty routines, cardio (let’s be honest, the reason we all do CrossFit is because straight cardio is HARD, seriously), job searching, and a few well-placed baby noises. We also discuss the idea of holding onto “skinny” clothes–is it motivational, or does it keep you from accepting your body as it is? Also, would you rather have lunch with Tina Fey, or Bob Harper? Joy is stumped. I mean, it’s a tough call. Who would you pick? Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO http://qalo.com

We could not be more thrilled to have Andie Mitchell on the podcast this week! Ever since Joy read the memoir, NYT best-seller It Was Me All Along, she can’t stop talking about the amazing Andie Mitchell. Have you seen Andie’s TED Talk? Watch it. Have you checked out her blog andiemitchell.com? Go there now! Oh wait, listen to this podcast episode first! You’ll fall in love with her just like we did! Andie talks about her books (including a new cookbook available in March!), her 135 pound weight loss journey, her perspective on black-and-white thinking, and what we all can do to live in the “middle”. It’s an hour packed with incredible honesty and Andie’s pure positive vibes! AND a story about meeting Leonardo DiCaprio. What! IknowRight. So much goodness in one episode. By the end of the hour it almost made Claire a hugger. Almost. Enjoy!   Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO.COM

Holy crap, the 2016 CrossFit Games season is almost here! Which means it’s time to talk about the ghost of Opens past and throw out our guesses for what we’ll see this year. Triple-unders anyone? But first we catch up with the basics of Claire’s ongoing postpartum CrossFit adventures and Joy’s deep love of carbs, and talk about how we approach big life decisions and quell the ever-present Anxiety Girl who is still alive and well on the back-burner (and sometimes on the front-burner… is that how you say that?) at all times. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

Dave Spitz, owner of Cal Strength and one of the country’s foremost weightlifting coaches, has teamed up with Nicole Lim to create Train Heroic, the first science-based, women-specific olympic lifting program of its kind… So of course we needed to hear all about it! Dave and Nicole have seriously done their homework, and the technical details behind this program are intense to say the least. And we’re not just talking about a pared-down version of a men’s program with a pink barbell on the cover–we’re talking seriously empowering, science-based training methodology that miiight involve the word menses (you’ve been warned). PS, Wait, are pink barbells a thing? Can I get one? Please and thank you. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

This week we take our latest obsessing with counting macros to the next level, and are joined by Working Against Gravity Founder and CEO, Adee Zukier! Adee talks about why she started WAG, how she’s grown it into a program with over 1500 clients in just over a year, and lets us in on her plans for the future of her business. We also chat about her athletic background, how she has turned macro tracking into a sustainable lifestyle for almost a decade, and how you can get started without having to pay for your own personal macro coach!

Happy New Year, GGW fam! 2015 was a big year for GGW. Joy got her L1, we had our 100th episode, we joined the QALO fam, we went to the CrossFit Games… oh yeah, and Claire grew a human! This week we look back on 2015, set some resolutions for 2016, and talk about how we are approaching life and goals for the new year. It’s been a fun lap around the sun and we are so honored to have shared another awesome year with you guys. Here’s to 2016… Let’s do this! Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

CrossFit Seminar Staff and CrossFit Verve co-owner Courtney Shepherd is back! And don’t worry, we saw your podcast Christmas list, so we answer all your questions about programming, talk about the importance of pacing and making a game plan when you WOD, swap stories and tips for counting macros, learn about Claire’s introduction to parkour, and even get a little taste (ok, kind of a big taste) of Mariah Carey. Because let’s be honest GGW fam: All we want for Christmas is yooooouuu! Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

Christmas is almost here, 2016 is right around the corner, and we are over here counting macros with our Working Against Gravity coaches and trying to decide if we would rather shave our heads or never get a haircut again. Leg stubble, group texts, and the Thelma and Louise Half Marathon are also discussed. But most importantly: Do you always use a hook grip? Always? Like, even when you’re eating yogurt? Well, Rich Froning doesn’t. Ask me how I know. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

Miles James makes his podcast debut in today’s episode! He doesn’t say much, but he has to be our cutest guest to date (sorry Shane Farmer)! If you can get past the cuteness of all the baby squeaks in the background (good luck), you’ll also hear us talk about Claire’s postpartum plan to get back in the gym, plus our favorite Christmas traditions and not-so-favorite sources of holiday stress. We also find out that Joy has a secret future in competitive weightlifting… so secret that she doesn’t even know about it yet. Those power shoulders have a will of their own, what can we say?

So many articles have been floating around about body image; love our strong bodies! women are finally accepting their curves! It’s annoying and aggravating and made us realize we can complain all we want but this topic isn’t going anywhere. We decided to bring eating disorder expert Lisa Mareb, LCSW back to the podcast to give us a refreshing perspective; let’s talk about the relationship we have with our bodies. Join us as we dive in and take more of your great questions. We learn about what we’re doing right and wrong, but most of all we realize there is a big unspoken struggle going on with us ladies. Whether we like it or not it’s time to take a look at how to finally stop using our bodies as the measure of success and focus more on living. Thank you for submitting your great questions, listeners. This is a scary topic and your vulnerability does not go unnoticed. Hope you like this episode and don’t worry, we manage to squeeze in the best Mean Girls reference to date on GGW.   Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO.com  

This week we get an extra special update from Claire! What’s it like being a new mom? She tells us all about it and then we start talking about Hunger Games and, is this what sleep deprivation sounds like? “OK irregardless”, it feels good to be back on the mic with Claire. We pre-recorded a great interview with Shane Farmer (CFL1 and CF Rowing Seminar Staff) for you! A collegiate athlete and 4x CrossFit Games team athlete, Shane has mastered the art of working hard and smart and knows what it takes to reach the highest levels of competition. Throughout his career Shane has always been surrounded by the greatest minds in the world of coaching.  Olympic weightlifting, rowing, mindset, programming. All of the people he’s met throughout his career have molded the way he views and trains performance. His beliefs have led him to the desire to support ANYONE who has a passion to improve their life and he builds his coaching accordingly.

Claire might still be waiting on her marathon (yep guys, she’s STILL pregnant), but Joy completed her (actual literal) marathon this past weekend, and let’s just say it lived up to her expectations. Running 26.2 miles is no easy feat, and Joy goes into the details of her training, the race, her marathon spirit animal, how she recovered afterwards, and the realization that long distance running might just not be her jam anymore. Of course we also get an update on Claire’s never-ending pregnancy, and even try to catch up on some pop culture. It might involve some Glee sing-a-long time… and we’re not sorry. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com  

Joy’s running a marathon this weekend, Claire’s still pregnant, and John Hay has a sixth sense for finding Delilah on nighttime radio… What else do you need to know? Ok, obviously we are never that succinct (which is why you love us… right?), and this week we also talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of coaching cues, how to tell if you’re setting realistic goals, and why the problem with “body positivity” is that it acts like it wants to shift the conversation while still keeping the focus squarely on our bodies. Not cool, guys. PS, don’t forget to check us out on Harder to Kill Radio Episode 23 this week! Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

This week’s episode is all about the F word: FEAR. Our biggest fears, our silliest fears, our deepest darkest fears… and YOUR biggest fears, too. From failure to disappointment to spiders, fear is natural, but it can rule our lives if we’re not careful. Joy puts on her therapist headband (and Claire even gets an honorary therapist hat for a few minutes), and we dive into coping with fears, rationalizing them, and living with them for better or worse. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

This week we are excited to welcome Sarah Pierce to GGW! Sarah is a legit OG CrossFitter–y’know, the type who has done Fran at The Ranch in Asics running shoes. Because obviously. In this episode we hear all about Sarah’s transitions from casual CrossFitter, to Regionals competitor, to GRID League athlete, and everything in-between–including her nutrition tips for where to begin if you want to “dial in” your diet, and supersecret behind-the-scenes info about what happens when you’re at a judge at The Games. There might even be a #crossfitvan moment or two… You’ve been warned. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com  

Birthdays, half marathons, preggo WODs, and teeny bikinis–there’s just so much to talk about this week! Joy is back from Hawaii, and it’s time to hear about how she used CrossFit to train for the Kauai Half Marathon–and most of all about all the #marriagehacks it takes to survive traveling with a spouse who travels for a living. We grapple with some tough questions, like why and how young teenagers get away with wearing Brazilian bikinis on family vacations and what the term “fun run” even means. And we finally find out what baby names are under consideration for Baby Koch… Spoiler alert: You are going to love them (and if you don’t, we don’t want to hear about it). Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com  

This episode is a little bit of a love letter to CrossFit. But we don’t love to WOD because we love burpees, or hand rips, or being so sore we can barely walk (although we do kind of love those things, let’s be honest). It’s because there’s something about this crazy sport that teaches us about ourselves and the world around us in a way that nothing else can. So this week we talk about what CrossFit has taught us, and learn the things that CrossFit has taught our listeners, too. Oh, and it’s JOY’S BIRTHDAY!!! So we obviously talk about that, too. Yay CrossFit and Happy Birthday Joy!! Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

Ok, so summer isn’t officially over yet, but with the start of September we can’t help but start thinking about fall! Fall means boots, scarves, pink glitter trench coats (ok, maybe that’s just Joy), and being able to run outside during a WOD without getting heat stroke… what’s not to love? But sometimes the transition into cooler weather can mean watching your motivation cool off a little bit, too. So in this episode we talk about our strategies for staying motivated as the seasons change and set some goals for the next few months, plus hear about Joy’s muscle-up journey and Claire’s continuing adventures with preggo CrossFitting. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

It seems like it’s been forever since we had a good gab sesh, so this week it’s time to play catch-up with our lives! Claire is finally moved in to her new apartment (mostly), Joy is mourning the fact that she chose a vacation to Hawaii over Taylor Swift tickets (SUCH a hard life!), and we finally hear the John Hay croissant story. This episode is also chock-full of tips for pacing, our favorite and least favorite benchmark WODs, recommendations for weightlifting belts, and lots of tangents. As always, because that’s why you love us. Right? Ok great. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

Emily Abbott is a 2-time CrossFit Games competitor from Calgary, and it was love at first sight when we saw her walk onto the floor at the Games! Maybe it’s her red hair, the abundance of Instagram pics of her in viking costumes, or maybe it’s the fact that her intense work ethic radiates off her from a mile away. Either way, we are thrilled to have her on the podcast this week! We ask Emily all about how she got into CrossFit, what it’s like to compete in Carson, and how she went from 35th place at the 2014 Games to a Top 10 finish in 2015. Hint: Pizza, ice cream, and going commando might be factors. Just saying.   Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

Steph “the Hammer” Hammerman is the world’s first CFL2 with Cerebral Palsy, a founding member of a group of adaptive CrossFit athletes known as the “Wheelchair Gang,” and basically an all-around badass. And we could not be more excited to get to chat with her this week! Everyone who has met Steph will tell you she is known for her outgoing attitude, her brutal WODs, and her ability to call you out on your BS… which may or may not happen a few times on this episode, as a matter of fact! We also talk about how CrossFit has helped Steph redefine her mission to bring athletics to the adaptive community, her best tips for new CrossFitters, her advice for coaching adaptive athletes, and why showing up every day with an Rx effort is more important than “Rx-ing” a WOD could ever be.

How do we love Juli Bauer… Let us count the ways! Juli is back this week to talk about her new cookbook, Juli Bauer’s Paleo Cookbook! She says that if her first cookbook was her high school diploma, and her second cookbook was her college degree, then this one is her Master’s thesis. But writing a cookbook isn’t all frosting samples and bloody mary tastings, and she lets us in on the behind-the-scenes details of what it’s really like to spend a year pouring your heart into a project like this one. And of course, we can’t help but catch up on Juli’s life, upcoming wedding plans, her new house, and find out her pick for the best margaritas in Denver!

Spandex, peg boards, ice cream sandwiches, and Julie Foucher… CrossFitLand was everything we hoped it would be and more, and we might be in denial that it’s over. This week we recap our awesome experience at the 2015 CrossFit Games, complete with a rundown of CF celebs we rubbed elbows with, and a certain CF celeb who we maybe just took a creepy picture of the back of his head a instead. We also chat a bit about the decision to program “Murph” in the middle of the summer SoCal heat, and what elements like the peg board represent for CrossFit athletes everywhere. Now, who’s ready for the 2016 Games?! Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

It’s time to catch up on Joy and Claire’s lives–and oh who am I kidding… Have you heard?? Ohmygosh ohmygosh… We’re headed to the CrossFit Games this week and we might be just a TINY bit excited! This week we do hear a little bit about Claire’s epic battle with the stomach flu on moving day, and Joy’s escapades on Emmy night. But for the most part we talk about what we’re going to do (and Bob Harper) and who we’re going to meet (and Bob Harper) and what we’re going to buy (and… ok, Joy, it’s time to move on from Bob Harper now…) at the CrossFit Games this weekend! We can’t frickin wait and we hope to see you there if you’re going to be in Carson! Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

Time for a nice little Q&A sesh with Joy and Claire! This week we talk about the GGW Better You Challenge (sold out in 24 hours #sofamous #nobigdeal) and answer listener questions. What instagram accounts do we follow? What is the 411? What is the hot gossip? No shortage of Mean Girls quotes here, you guys #AsUsual. Joy talks about her recent trip to AZ, Claire gets up to speed on grad school, and holy crap it’s almost time for the CrossFit Games!? Claire shares awesome pro tips if you’re headed to the Stub Hub Center. Don’t miss this episode. Joy finishes Ep105 by putting on her therapy headband (it’s a thing) and getting #allthefeels. You can bet your Nanos it makes Claire really uncomfortable. Girls Gone WOD Podcast is sponsored by QALO. http://qalo.com

This week we welcome Mom Sandy back for an encore of Episode 101!  This week we go even deeper into the details of how non-alphas can communicate successfully with alphas, and how alphas can anticipate the needs of the non-alphas in their lives. We put on our advice column hats and talk advanced marriage hacks, and Sandy shares her experiences and tips for succeeding in a new relationship after a long-term relationship or marriage has ended. And of course, Sandy answers your follow-up questions regarding alphas, betas, introverts, extroverts, yellows, blues, and everything in-between!

In honor of Father’s Day, this week’s episode starts off with the best advice we’ve ever received from John Hay and Ronnie Zee… plus the best advice we’ve gotten from our moms, teachers, friends, and random internet celebrities. Which quickly turns into a discussion about life stages, and what life stage chat would be complete without an update on Claire’s pregnancy and her preggo CrossFit diaries. We also talk about the upcoming Better You Challenge, get thoroughly distracted by the Periscope live feed going on in the background, and even weigh in on Rich Froning’s latest modeling gig for Relentless Jeans.

It’s finally time to revisit the one issue that has been both the subject of one of our most popular episodes, and the hardest topic to really talk about: Anxiety. With a capital A. We want to make sure you all know that it’s not just muscle-up progressions and donuts around here, and just because it’s been almost 2 years since we last talked about our anxiety issues, that doesn’t mean they have gone away. And we especially want you to know that if you deal with anxiety, you are not alone. In this episode we talk about what anxiety looks like in our lives right now, and what strategies we–and our awesome listeners–are using to manage it.

It is not “GirlsGoneWOD” as advertised in this episode; it is now “GGW” – Thanks!] Our famous “Podcast Mom” Sandy finally makes her on-air debut this week with the answer to life’s most serious question: What is the difference between men and women anyway? Among her many (many) talents, Sandy has a degree in Sexology (yep, that’s a thing), and in this episode we talk all about the dynamic between men and women, introverts and extroverts, and alphas and non-alphas (including how to tell whether you’re an alpha, and what to do about it).  So get ready, because no matter which category you fall into, you will learn something about yourself and about your relationships in this episode!
