This week we are joined by Louise Hazel who is an Olympian, Commonwealth Games Champion in Heptathlon, Sports Personality, owner and CEO of SLAY Gym Hollywood. On this episode we talk about how she once lived in her gym, where you find motivation and how burning fat is more important than losing weight.

When you're training to be an elite, Olympic-level athlete, reaching your goals becomes a non-negotiable.    So how do you build lasting habits and make mindset shifts so you can train on such an intense level every day? And how do you set yourself up to actually win?   On this week's episode, we're joined by Olympian + fitness expert, Louise Hazel who is sharing her behind-the-scenes, Olympic perspective on just that.    She's unpacking her go-to morning routine, unveiling the key mindset shifts she's made and revealing how athleticism and entrepreneurship aren't that different after all.   Links: Soul CBD: https://www.mysoulcbd.com/pages/bossbabe The Societe: bossbabe.com/joinsociete   Follow:  BossBabe: @bossbabe.inc Natalie: @iamnatalie Danielle: @daniellecanty Louise Hazel: @louisehazel

"It took me 17 years of just blind faith before I got to stand on the podium in the Olympic stadium".  That was Louise Hazels journey to fulfill her dream of competing in the Olympics as a Heptathlete.  Although she crossed the finish line in her athletic career, her business career has just bolted out of the gate.  She now owns The Slay Gym and along with Director of Training, Eric Strangis, they have set out to help thousands of women worldwide to stay in shape with their online plan Slay Challenge teaching that if you learn how to train and not exercise you'll never fall off again.There are 2 pieces of advice when crossing over from athlete to entrepreneur: Don't jump too soon because that first business for most entrepreneurs will fail.Surround yourself with a Gold Medal team to support youTo see more of what Slay is doing:www.theslaygym.comwww.slaychallenge.com@louisehazel@ericstrangis@slayathletic@theslaygym@slaychallenge

Contact: francesca&kevin@Becomingmorehuman.co.uk A huge thank you to our fantastic Editor and Assistant Producer Emily Booth - emilyboothmedia.wordpress.com // About Francesca:  Francesca was 28 years old when she turned down a dream role, working for one of the biggest drinks companies in the world, to set-up her own business (29 London) and pursue her passion to tell stories for brands, and now people too (Platform). Running her own business fast-tracked Fran's self-development journey. She understood how brands needed to tell their story, but now was forced to look at her own personal story; what were my values and beliefs? It’s through her work with owners, founders, and like-minded individuals that continue to push her to keep learning and help others to do the same; developing a strong mind, body and soul connection. Francesca describes that despite initially feeling empowered and channeling her inner Beyonce circa ‘Run the World (girls)’ her first day as her own boss to in fact be less Independent Women and more Survivor, but she continues to grow and learn on her journey each day. Contact: www.29-london.com  About Uncle Kevin: Since his mid-teens, Kevin had dreamt of becoming a priest. He first explored his religious vocation with the Rominians in the 70s, before leaving to work for The Philharmonia Orchestra in London and then became a teacher.  In 1991 he moved to the USA to study theology and worked in parishes on the West Coast. In 2000 he was ordained a priest with The American Catholic Church - an Independent Catholic Church that ordains men and women, married and single, straight and gay - and started work as a hospice chaplain. In 2005 he and his boyfriend (now husband) bought their current residence in Oregon and opened an event and retreat center. He continues to do a lot of marriage counseling, freelance work for local parishes, some local theater work, and odd bit of writing, retreats, etc. Contact: Kevingyell@gmail.com   https://ainsworthhouse.net/

Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by Ashley Mitchell.Since the last time she was on Challenge Mania, Ashley Mitchell (@MTVASHLEYBROOKE) blew the roof off of Champs Vs Stars on her way out and entered The Final Reckoning on a slight delay after she and Hunter blasted their way into the game as mercenaries.

Ashley joins Derrick and Scott (@SHOTOFYAGER) to talk about her experience on Champs Vs Stars, the reunion, Louise Hazel and more! She discusses the drama she's been involved with since entering #TheChallenge32 house, whether she violated Girl Code, what makes the Lavender Ladies such a tight unit and why Hunter was really so upset that she decided to cozy up to Kyle.

Louise Hazel is a fun, energetic and extremely successful athlete. She represented Team GB at the London 2012 Olympic Games and won Gold at the Commonwealth Games for England. Heptathlon is a crazy event where any weaknesses across Runs, Jumps and Throws will be exploited. So what does it take to succeed in the most all round of all round events?! I loved talking to Louise - her energy is infectious and her positivity and drive will inspire you too. www.beforethemedals.com

It’s come around as quickly as the top bend did for Allyson Felix in that 2015 400m final; episode two is here! Jody and Bayo dissect European and US Championships, and – in honour of Women in Sport week – Claire catches up with Cheriece and Shannon...

We summarize the reunion of Invasion of the Champions (loud) and catch up with the Champs as they battle the Pros (Louise is a GEM, Lolo is maybe a lime) and Daniella forgets that AYTO Second Chances exists.
