Send us a textIn this episode, Dove Putterman breaks down one of the most misunderstood topics in the fitness world: waist trainers vs. weight belts — what they are, what they're not, and why so many athletes are confused about them.What starts as playful banter quickly shifts into a real conversation as Dove explains why LPF trainers don't recommend waist trainers, how they affect breathing, posture, and body dysmorphia, and why they're used more for aesthetics than function. She opens up about the psychology behind them, the insecurities they can amplify, and the pressure many women feel to “snatch” their waist instead of strengthening their core. The conversation dives into the appropriate use of weight belts — when they matter, when they're unnecessary, and why they should never be a substitute for building real stability. It's practical, relatable, and brutally honest — a conversation every athlete, competitor, or gym-goer should hear. Dr. Dove Putterman is a wife and a proud mother of FIVE amazing children! Seven years after giving birth to triplets, she stepped on stage for the first time and went on to earn her Wellness IFBB Pro card at the Natural Canadian Pro Qualifier. Struggling with core control issues after pregnancy, she discovered Low Pressure Fitness through the bodybuilding community which not only transformed her physique and remedied her lower back pain, but also inspired her to become a coach working with athletes from amateur competitors to Olympians and helping them master core control for posing, training and stability not to mention developing that hourglass shape on stage!https://www.instagram.com/drdove_ifbbprohttps://www.fitbodyfusion.com/pages/online-competition-coachingWelcome to FitBody Lifestyle the podcast hosted by Jami and Greg DeBernard!

Narrator: Thomas Jones

After nearly 400 conversations with Olympians, Paralympians, and trailblazing women athletes from 55 countries, one thing is clear: no two stories are alike. Some athletes train with world-class facilities, others without basic equipment. Some are household names, others are fighting for visibility in sports you've never even seen on TV. And yet, across all these differences, certain themes echo again and again.That's what this new Best Of series is all about: spotlighting both the range of experiences and the threads that connect them. We've pulled together the most powerful moments across years of conversations, including:✨ Best Advice to Younger Selves — from “give yourself grace to be a beginner” to “don't dim your light for anyone.” ✨ Best Stories of Resilience — tales of athletes coming back from devastating injuries, near-misses, and moments when the world doubted them most. ✨ Best Moments of Role Modelship — athletes lifting the next generation, mentoring teammates, and carrying entire communities with them to the world stage. ✨ Best Stories of Identity & Joy — how athletes embrace who they are on and off the field, from glitter on the track to pride in their heritage.…and many more!You'll hear voices as different as the sports they represent, yet together, they reveal what it really takes to rise to the top. This isn't just one story. It's hundreds woven together. And this is just the beginning.In this episode, Reframing the Impossible, Kimberley Alkemade (Netherlands, para athletics) shares a profound moment of connection with her late mother after winning gold in the same country where she lost her leg. Dana Mathewson (USA, wheelchair tennis) opens up about the deep self-consciousness she faced after acquiring a disability as a child and how sport became her path to freedom and self-acceptance. Ashley Dyce (USA, para powerlifting) recounts the moment she discovered the Paralympics on TV and decided to change her life, eventually choosing powerlifting over track to pursue strength. Angelina Lanza (France, para athletics) advocates for equal visibility, pay, and the freedom for female athletes to wear what makes them feel confident and perform their best. Mansi Joshi (India, para badminton) challenges media narratives, urging for coverage that focuses on athletic achievement rather than disability and inspiration porn.Together, these athletes redefine what is possible, moving beyond limitations and societal expectations to claim their space as fierce competitors and powerful advocates.Flame Bearers is a women's sports storytelling studio, illuminating the unsung stories of exceptional women athletes from around the world. We tell stories via podcast, video and live events.For more videos about elite women athletes, subscribe to our YouTube channel ► / @‌flamebearersFollow us: Instagram - / flamebearers Facebook - / flamebearerspodcast Linkedin - / flame-bearers Tiktok - / flame_bearers X - / flame_bearers Our Website - https://flamebearers.com/

In this podcast episode of Previously On, fangirl Jillian and her husband Tyler break down Episode 1 "Rookies" and Episode 2 "Olympians" of HBO Max and Crave's new show Heated Rivalry, the gay hockey romance series everyone is obsessing over. As a longtime romance reader, Jillian makes the case for why this adaptation fires on all cylinders - the yearning, the steam, the time jumps! Tyler rates the show's spiciness with chili peppers (even though he thought this was a show about sports). They dive into the show's fast-burn spice / slow-burn love story, the dynamics of Shane Hollander & Ilya Rozanov, and the steamy scenes that have the internet screaming.

OVERVIEW"How long is this going to take?!" Everyone wants to know how long it takes for the training you do today to result in performance improvements you can see and feel on the road or trail. To find out, we called upon Tim Cusick, an elite coach and one of the data gurus behind TrainingPeaks WKO product. Together, Coach Adam Pulford and Tim explain how training stress leads to physiological strain, which causes fatigue and then adaptation. In this episode they look specifically at how quickly aerobic training results in measurable improvements in VO2 max, along with improvements in neuromuscular and metabolic processes.Topics Covered In This Episode:Stress vs. StrainTwo responses to trainingNeural vs metabolic vs cardiovascular adaptations to trainingTime to adaptation for aerobic systemHow VO2 max increases from Zone 2 trainingWhy Time-Crunched Cyclists need some intensity during base trainingCadence workouts during base trainingResourcesTim at Basecamp: https://www.joinbasecamp.com/tim-cusick Tim on IG https://www.instagram.com/tim.cusick_coach/Stress vs Strain: Difference Between Stress and Strain - GeeksforGeeks https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/physics/difference-between-stress-and-strain/Guest Bio:Tim Cusick is a world-class cycling coach, a leader in data analytics for endurance sports, an educator, and an innovative business leader.

This week, Emily's sitting down with Olympic Gold Medalist, professional volleyball player, founding athlete for League One Volleyball, and co-owner of Love Nebraska, Jordan Larson. A lot has happened since our first chat in 2021. Jordan dives deep into the personal and professional work that has allowed her to maintain elite performance over an impressive 16+ season career. "The Governor" (Jordan's nickname) opens up about the immense internal work required to evolve from being a quiet "leader by action" to a vocal and empathetic captain for her team. Jordan also shares her experience navigating a difficult personal period, including a divorce, and how she learned to separate her self-worth from her on-court performance. It's a candid conversation about finding inner peace, the importance of "failing fast" to learn, and her excitement for growing the future of women’s volleyball in the United States through ventures like Love Nebraska and League One Volleyball. This is a masterclass in resilience, leadership, and the power of continual evolution. In This Episode: 16+ Seasons of Elite Performance: Jordan shares what still excites her about lacing up and how she remains a student of the sport after almost two decades. The Evolution of Leadership: We discuss the shift from being a "leader by action" to a vocal, empathetic captain who builds deeper connections with her teammates. Beyond the White Lines: Why true success and team cohesion require knowing the person behind the athlete, not just their on-court skill. The Hardest Hurdle: Jordan opens up about the immense internal work required to find peace and process her divorce, and how she used that time to define her self-worth outside of volleyball. Failing Fast: The necessity of taking risks in practice and the importance of a "goldfish mindset" for quick failure and recovery. Love Nebraska and League One Volleyball: Her passion for growing the sport domestically and the importance of creating opportunities for female athletes to thrive at home. Advice to Her Younger Self: The importance of being able to sit in the hard, uncomfortable feelings instead of running from them. QUOTABLE MOMENTS

In episode #178 of

From walk-on to Olympian, Emily Mackay has rewritten every expectation.Now, she's back on the show to open up about the reinvention that's powering the best chapter of her career.Emily ran collegiately at Binghamton University, where her best NCAA finish was 6th in the 1500m as a senior in 2022. She joined New Balance Boston that summer of 2022, while training under coach Mark Coogan. What followed was a rapid improvement as a professional, lowering her 1500m personal best from 4:08.97 to 3:59.99 in 2023. Emily was then one of America's best female middle distance runners in 2024. In addition to her 1500m exploits, her 800m season's best of 1:57.87 ranked sixth in the US that year. She also ran in the 1500m semifinals in the Paris Olympics. In 2025, Mackay finished 4th in the 3,000m at the US indoor championships in February, and took 10th at Tokyo in the 1500m semifinals with a 4:08.19. Emily signed with New Balance in 2022, and while she was formerly part of Team New Balance Boston, she has since left the team. Emily's rise is proof that belief, resilience, and reinvention can take you anywhere.

After missing out on seeing Ceili McCabe in competition this outdoor track & field season, the wait is over for running fans to see her back at a national championship, as she returned in style this past weekend with a masterclass performance at the 2025 Canadian Cross Country Championships in London.In her first national championship as a professional, the national steeplechase record holder and 2024 Olympian broke away from the field and never looked back, running nearly a minute clear of the competition to claim her second ACXC title and remove any doubt as to whether she was back to her pre-injury form.This week on The Shakeout Podcast, Ceili joins the show to recap her ACXC win, discuss her road back from injury, and share what lies ahead in 2026 in her first full season as a pro, starting with the World Cross Country Championships next month in Tallahassee, Florida. Subscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.Shop now at Altitude Sports and enjoy up to 20% off your first order with the promo code “shakeout” Click here to order

Today's episode of The Mettleset Podcast is brought to you by New Balance

#1) Be consistent. That means training two to three classes a week. Your house does not count, coming in and assistant instructing does not count. You should be on the mat training twice a week if your intention is to get a black belt. If not….you can still get an enormous benefit of training once a week, or twice a week every other week, etc…..you just aren't going to earn a black belt until you get serious about your attendance. Just like you can get very knowledgeable about medicine and surgery at the library and attending some classes at college…..but until you commit to medical school and graduate….you will not be a doctor. #2) Train Hard, Train Smart. You can come in and give a halfhearted effort, you can come in and train like every fight is personal…..neither will earn you a black belt. The lukewarm person will not gain the real skills to pass, and definitely not survive the test, the overzealous person will end up hurting themselves or getting too injured to train frequently enough to test, or have the finesse required to become a black belt. #3) Know the Curriculum.  We have had many world champions and amazing athletes at the Academy, all of them that received black belts know the curriculum and are able to teach it. You don't have to love all of it, and in fact most gravitate to one of the big four: Fighting, Forms, Self Defense, or Pad Work…but you have to know it all and be able to demonstrate it. #4) Be a Good Ambassador. In some fields your talent can make up for your personality, in martial arts it cannot. You have to be a good role model….not a perfect person, but a person in pursuit of perfection. #5) Be in Shape. You do not have to be an Olympian, D1 athlete or on the cover of Muscle and Fitness….but you should be in good cardiovascular shape, be strong, and have healthy habits. That means making sacrifices outside of the Dojo for your health and fitness and should reflect a life long goal of longevity and good overall health. #6) Be Motivated. You should come to class ready to learn and your passion for training and improving should be evident. Everyone has tough days and we are here to support your through those….but not every day. You are responsible for being passionate about growth, getting better, and being the best version of you! #7) Be Positive. Very similar to number 6, and maybe even more important. “Where attention goes, energy flows.” especially when we are talking about having a positive or negative mindset. What to find the good in your life…start looking for it, what to find the bad…..start looking for it. Find the good in martial arts, and training hard! #8) Be ok with walking alone. Walking with friends is always more fun, it just is. Training with friends is too. Understand however some of your training partners are going to break your heart. Everyone does not make it to black belt, and even some of the ones that do will quit. They are really quitting on themselves….but it feels like they are quitting on you and the Academy. That's difficult to deal with, but it's a part of high level success at anything. Sometimes we have to be ok with walking alone. #9) Bring Someone with you. The antidote for #8! Invite people to train, encourage them to stay, invest in their success and watch your success skyrocket. #10) Have a White Belt Attitude, with a Black belt Brain. White belts are so excited and grateful to train, they give it 100 percent and desperately want to improve…..their only hindrance is the lack of repetition and knowledge. As people increase in rank that fire can diminish. The saddest thing I see is a Green/Brown belt that has gone lukewarm, cynical, or thinks they know everything. Have a white belt mentality, upgraded with the reps and knowledge of a black belt. It truly is the best of both worlds.

Keith Sanderson is a four-time Olympian and World Cup Gold Medalist. We spent 3.5 hours talking non-stop about shooting. This might be the single most nugget-laden conversation I have ever had. I only got in one of my ice breaker questions because the conversation was deep from the beginning. Because it is so long, the conversation is broken into three parts. Enjoy!! https://lbr8.link/@Casualshooterpodcast

Huddle's a 2x Olympian, and recently toed the line in Scottsdale for her first marathon since having her second child six months ago.

You trained so you'd be prepared for when it got difficult." – Des Linden "The best thing to do for that [the pain cave] is to just stay in the moment." – Molly Huddle "When you cross the finish line, you're going to just have that tool in your pocket of like, 'Look what I did, look what I can do.'" – Molly Huddle On Strategy & Planning "I like to just think bottle to bottle ... you can pretend you're starting over again." – Molly Huddle "Stay here... You're strong...

Today I am talking with two-time Olympian and Saucony athlete Molly Huddle, who just ran the Every Woman's Marathon six months postpartum with her second baby. Molly used the race as a long training run and shares what it felt like to approach the marathon in a more relaxed, flexible way than she has in the past while still respecting how hard 26.2 miles feels at any pace. We get into how life looks right now with two young daughters, how she and her husband are tag-teaming work and parenting, and what it has been like to train and race while breastfeeding. Molly explains why she chose this marathon as a fundraising opportunity for For All Mothers+, how she approached the effort on the day, and what she learned about her current fitness and recovery. Molly also talks about where she is with professional running at age 41, her hope to qualify for another Olympic Marathon Trials, and what it means to her to compete in a “part-time” or “semi-retired” way while she leans into coaching, writing, and parenting. We talk about identity shifts in motherhood, the invisible work that goes into raising kids, and how to stay engaged with the sport even when the goals and timelines look different than they did in your twenties. Finally, Molly shares more about the new pregnancy and postpartum running book she is co-writing, the research she is excited about, and her thoughts on aging, body image, and what it really means to let running “light you up,” whatever season of life you are in. Topics Discussed: Molly's decision to run the Every Woman's Marathon six months postpartum Using a marathon as a long training run instead of an all-out effort Balancing breastfeeding, travel, and race-day logistics with a baby and a toddler Fundraising and partnering with For All Mothers+ at the race How the Every Woman's Marathon creates an unintimidating, women-centered race experience Postpartum training, injury history, and choosing a more cautious path back Shifting identity from full-time pro runner to part-time competitor, coach, and writer Motherhood, invisible labor, and how priorities around work and running change Body image, aging, and pressure around appearance and performance The new pregnancy and postpartum running book and current women's health research Support Our Sponsors: Amazfit Smartwatches – A wellness and recovery brand offering targeted supplements designed to support runners with energy, strength, and sleep.

It's not completely odd for a former Olympian to return to the limelight years after competing...but rarely is it for allegedly piloting a drug ring comparable to that of El Chapo's.Ryan James Wedding now sits alongside some of America's most dangerous criminals on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list for several offences related to drug trafficking and murder. A number of Canadians have been arrested earlier this month in connection to the case, including Wedding's defence lawyer from Brampton, Deepak Paradkar. And the FBI has hiked up the reward for his arrest to $15 million USD. Host Richard Southern speaks to Calvi Leon, a crime reporter for the Toronto Star to break down how a Canadian born in Thunder Bay made his way to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list for allegedly leading one of the most prolific drug trafficking organizations in the world. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstoryfpn on Twitter

This Thanksgiving week, we're switching things up. Instead of one deep dive, we're hitting three breaking cases lighting up the headlines.We look at the mysterious death of 18-year-old Anna Kepner aboard a Carnival Cruise, the shocking criminal evolution of Ryan Wedding, from Olympian to one of the FBI's most wanted, and the explosive Long Island love triangle that ended in a fatal shooting outside a luxury yacht club.Three cases. One chaotic holiday week. And a whole lot to unpack.

Anishnaabe columnist Niigaan Sinclair says the news that renowned author Thomas King is not Indigenous is a painful breach of a trust -- and demands that Canada ask itself some serious questions.After violating anti-doping rules, swimmer Penny Oleksiak -- Canada's most decorated female Olympian -- is banned from competition for two years.The fire that destroyed a historic Toronto church is being investigated as arson; the priest-in-charge tells us that news is yet another blow for her congregation.A new study reveals that the human brain goes through five distinct phases -- and the adolescence phase might be longer than you think. We'll say goodbye to a beloved Galapagos tortoise named "Gramma" -- and revisit our conversation about a tortoise named "Mommy" who became a mother for the first time at the approximate age of one hundred.The late, legendary toy inventor Burt Meyer made success look like child's play -- by creating such all-time diversions as "Lite Brite", "Mouse Trap", and the slugfest "Rock Em Sock Em Robots".As It Happens, the Tuesday Edition. Radio that's glad he didn't pull any punchers.

After nearly 400 conversations with Olympians, Paralympians, and trailblazing women athletes from 55 countries, one thing is clear: no two stories are alike. Some athletes train with world-class facilities, others without basic equipment. Some are household names, others are fighting for visibility in sports you've never even seen on TV. And yet, across all these differences, certain themes echo again and again.That's what this new Best Of series is all about: spotlighting both the range of experiences and the threads that connect them. We've pulled together the most powerful moments across years of conversations, including:✨ Best Advice to Younger Selves — from “give yourself grace to be a beginner” to “don't dim your light for anyone.”✨ Best Stories of Resilience — tales of athletes coming back from devastating injuries, near-misses, and moments when the world doubted them most.✨ Best Moments of Role Modelship — athletes lifting the next generation, mentoring teammates, and carrying entire communities with them to the world stage.✨ Best Stories of Identity & Joy — how athletes embrace who they are on and off the field, from glitter on the track to pride in their heritage.and many more!You'll hear voices as different as the sports they represent, yet together, they reveal what it really takes to rise to the top. This isn't just one story. It's hundreds woven together. And this is just the beginning.In this episode, Breaking The Mold, Alexandria Glaudé of Team USA wrestling shares how she pushes for greater access and support for women in a historically male space. Natoya Goule-Toppin of Jamaica, an 800 meter specialist, calls for equal pay and expanded visibility for women's sports. Nina Ligon, a former Olympic eventer for Thailand, reflects on reconnecting with her heritage and growing opportunity for future riders. Claire Taggart of the United Kingdom explains how boccia's women's classification opens new competitive pathways. Assmaa Niang of France, a decorated judoka, speaks to the need for stronger women-to-women support to build real visibility. Shelly Looney, a two-time Olympic medalist in ice hockey, describes becoming the role model she never had. Asia Hogan-Rochester of Canada's rugby sevens team shares how expanding access can reshape who feels welcome in sport. Catarina Guimarães of Team USA CP soccer recounts breaking barriers and finding her place on the world stage. Together they show what it means to challenge norms and build a more inclusive sports landscape.Flame Bearers is a women's sports storytelling studio, illuminating the unsung stories of exceptional women athletes from around the world.

ARES & LIN MANUEL MIRANDA HERMES!! Percy Jackson and the Olympians Full Series Reaction Watch Along: ⁠  / thereelrejects  ⁠ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! ⁠https://www.rejectnationshop.com/⁠ Greg Alba & Tara Erickson react to Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episodes 5 & 6, continuing Disney+'s faithful adaptation of Rick Riordan's The Lightning Thief. As Percy, Annabeth, and Grover race to stop a divine war, these episodes crank the stakes way up — bringing in major Olympian players and some of the season's most memorable set pieces. In Episode 5 (“A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers”), Percy (Walker Scobell – The Adam Project, Secret Headquarters) reunites with Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries – Beast, Empire) and Grover (Aryan Simhadri – Cheaper by the Dozen, Spin) on the road to Los Angeles — only to be pulled into Ares' brutal side-quest at Waterland. We get the Tunnel of Love trap, the nerve-shredding Hephaestus throne sequence, and Percy's growing realization that the gods' games are deadlier than any monster. These episodes feature huge guest-star gods, including Adam Copeland (Vikings, WWE Hall of Fame) as the intimidating Ares, and Timothy Omundson (Psych, Galavant) as Hephaestus, whose heartbreaking mythology adds real emotional weight to the quest. Episode 6 (“We Take a Zebra to Vegas”) swings the trio into Las Vegas' Lotus Hotel & Casino, where time warps, temptation hits hard, and the deadline to prevent war slips away. The episode introduces Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, Encanto) as Hermes, bringing charm and mystery as Percy tries to get answers about the bolt and Luke's involvement — all while the Lotus tries to swallow them whole. Tara & Greg REACT to the best moments including the Waterland Tunnel of Love / shield trap, Percy nearly sacrificing himself on Hephaestus' throne, Ares' threats and divine manipulation, the trio arriving in Vegas and getting lost in the Lotus' time-dilation spell, Hermes' reveal and the ticking clock toward the Underworld, & MORE!!

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com kicks off with Andy Peth—joined by Luke Cashman and Tanner Coleman—for a fast, funny, and fiery hour that swings from Thanksgiving chaos to political shockwaves. Amid jokes about Vietnamese feasts, airport gravy smuggling, and hunting Thanksgiving dinner “bare-handed,” the trio dives headfirst into the escalating crisis in Chicago. What happens when a mayor calls law enforcement a “sickness” even after a woman is brutally attacked on a train? And what does it mean when a leader claims he's committed first to people who “look like” him? The hour then pivots to Marjorie Taylor Greene's sudden decision to leave Congress early. Is her claim about the “Epstein files” the truth—or a convenient cover? Andy breaks down the real timeline, the political rift with Donald Trump, and the surprising financial incentives baked into congressional retirement. A caller, Jim from Wellington, joins in to expose how congressional benefits work—raising deeper questions about insider trading, wealth-building, and who really profits in Washington. Packed with humor, sharp analysis, and provocative questions, Hour 1 sets the tone: nothing is off-limits, and everything is on the table. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason kicks off at full speed as Andy Pate teams up with Tanner Cole and NFL analyst Richard Rush for a rapid-fire Thanksgiving football extravaganza. Which teams will rise, and which will collapse under the weight of their own chaos? Will the Lions finally own Thanksgiving? Are the Chiefs unstoppable—or is Dallas ready to shock them? Can Joe Burrow ignite the Bengals, and are the Eagles crumbling from the inside out? Every matchup becomes a debate, every prediction swings with humor, and every punchline lands harder than a blindside blitz. But the hour isn't done. After the final pick is made, Jerzee Joe jumps in with sharp political commentary, exposing New York's fantasy-world promises of “free buses,” rent freezes, and wealth redistribution. What happens when leaders promise equality of outcomes instead of opportunity? And why does reality only show up after the election? Packed with jokes, bold takes, and thought-provoking questions, Hour 2 delivers nonstop energy—from the gridiron to government truths you won't hear anywhere else. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason erupts with political fire as Andy Peth welcomes guest Eli Bremer—a former Olympian, Air Force veteran, and one of Colorado's most controversial conservative voices. What begins as a critique of forced “unity” inside the Colorado GOP quickly transforms into a blistering exposé of power plays, purity tests, and the factions tearing the party apart. Why are certain insiders demanding unity only when they're the ones in charge? Who benefits when criticism is labeled “disunity,” and who gets silenced in the process? Andy and Eli dismantle the myth of “unity for unity's sake,” arguing that genuine teamwork requires shared purpose—not blind obedience. From fake Liberty Scorecards to performative purity, from sabotaged legislation to the Freedom Caucus blocking the repeal of Obamacare, Hour 3 pulls no punches. Is “voting your principles” noble—or is it a mathematical dead end that hands victory to the Left? And how many elections have been lost because conservatives chose symbolic purity over practical wins? Hour 3 is a fast-moving, high-stakes discussion about strategy, loyalty, results—and what the conservative movement must confront if it wants to win again.

Kikkan Randall is a five-time Olympian and an icon of U.S. cross-country skiing. But before all the medals and podiums, she was a high schooler with dyed hair, face paint, and a nickname that captured her energy: “Kikkanimal.” Her teammates gave it to her as a nod to the edge, spirit, and unity she brought to the team. Cross-country skiers understand that it's a sport that rewards time spent—refining muscle memory, living in a zone of discomfort, and building toward the kind of performance that only shows up after years of hard work. Raised in a family that loved the outdoors, Kikkan found herself drawn to this community of grounded, like-minded people. And as her competitive fire grew, so did her sense of camaraderie—training alongside rivals, and becoming genuine friends with competitors from places like Finland. When Kikkan crossed the finish line to Olympic gold, it was a breakthrough for American skiing. What once seemed out of reach had become reality. But her team had done more than stand on a podium, they'd changed the culture. They trained together, got to know each other outside of training, and showed up to races in face paint, neon and novelty socks. And in that show of teamwork and connection, they built something so strong that other national teams started to emulate.  That same spirit followed Kikkan beyond sport. After retiring at the top of her game, she faced a breast cancer diagnosis, and her athlete mindset took control. She broke the treatment into pieces, taking it on one small battle at a time. It kept her focused on the day-to-day work rather than the big picture. It's the same mindset that carried her through five Olympics—one that relies on optimism and patience. Today, she's back where it all started, leading the Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage and shaping the future of the sport she helped redefine.

What if the biggest obstacle between you and the life you want isn't your circumstances—it's your ego? In this episode, I sit down with Jim Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Inner Excellence and performance coach to some of the best athletes and leaders in the world. Jim's story isn't about overnight success. He's a former pro baseball player who lost his career to injury, spent five years in the desert wrestling with his identity, and emerged with a message that's transforming lives at the highest levels of sport and business. Jim works with Olympians and championship teams, but this conversation isn't just for elite athletes. It's for anyone chasing success thinking it will finally make them happy. Anyone who looks good on the outside but feels empty inside. Anyone tired of the endless treadmill of trying to be enough. We dive deep into mastering your ego, training your heart, and why your hardest moments might be the most important things that ever happen to you.

Takeaways The holidays can be stressful, and it’s important to plan ahead for wellness. Setting intentions rather than big goals can help maintain focus during the holidays. Protein intake is crucial for satiety and managing weight. Eating to 80% fullness can prevent discomfort after meals. Cortisol levels can rise due to holiday stress; managing stress is key. Alcohol consumption should be mindful, as it can cloud judgment and lead to poor food choices. The holidays should focus on nurturing relationships rather than just food and drink. It’s okay to say no to social obligations to prioritize self-care. Post-holiday, it’s important to return to normal routines quickly to avoid weight gain. Mindfulness and intention are essential for a balanced holiday experience. Watch on YouTube Episode Transcript Cheryl McColgan (00:01.038)Hey everyone, I’m Cheryl McColgan, founder of Peel Nourish Row, and it has been a little while since I’ve been on the mic. I took an unexpected longer hiatus than I thought I would, and I’m just now getting around to starting to record again. And I really wanted to get on here and do this episode because the holidays are such a stressful time for everyone. It’s a time where people could use extra support, could use extra ideas about how to de-stress, not gain weight during the holidays, and just find ways to support your wellness in this busy time of the season. So I’ve done another episode like this in the past, and I’ll be sure to link that in the show notes, but for this one I did map out a few bullet points to keep me on track. I’ve got my laptop here with that on it so that I can glance over there occasionally and remind myself of what I wanted to share with you today. But the first thing is this why this, what does holiday mean? wellness even mean or why does it matter? Again, it’s a stressful time. We’re around family for some times that’s very exciting and sometimes it can be very stressful and there’s a lot of travel involved typically and a lot of extra events and cooking and things like that. So it can be just a time where there’s so much going on that you forget to actually take care of yourself. So planning ahead now so that you don’t have to recover from everything at the beginning of the year is a good plan. And usually what I like to say during the holidays, I mean, if you’re a lot of people that listen to this podcast are interested in weight loss or fitness or health and wellness. If you’re trying to lose weight during the holidays, that can be particularly challenging. I think what would be a better goal for most people is to just maintain during the holidays and not gain extra weight that you then have to kind of backtrack from the progress that you’ve made throughout the year. So all that being said, I think the good way to start with this is just to set some intentions around the holidays. So for example, just to be really mindful every time that you eat or, consistent movement or practicing on your sleep during the holidays to make sure that you stay on track with your wellness. So whatever that intention is, just making something specific enough that you know what it is that you’re trying to accomplish, but generally it’s not going to be any big goals during this time of the year. Cheryl McColgan (02:24.606)Just because it’s like I said a lot of extra stress a lot of extra things going on and so Setting really big goals around health and wellness this time of year can just be a way that sets you up for failure Which is not what we want want to go into the new year Thinking positive feeling positive and having every intention that way when we get to the new year We’re kind of set up in this place. been mindful, we’ve been practicing taking care of ourselves and then once we get to the new year we can really focus on those bigger goals that you want for yourself and your wellness in 2026. So after you’ve set the intentions let’s address the first thing is weight. I actually looked this up before I got on here and most people gain anywhere between a pound to five pounds during the time period from Thanksgiving to the end of the year. And while that can be also if your intention is to say enjoy time with family, eat really good foods, just nourish yourself and not to worry too much about weight gain, that is a perfectly acceptable intention as well. But if you want to think about, you know, maintaining your weight or not gaining weight during the holidays, then it’s important to kind of have a plan when you go into this. So the first thing, you know, I’m going to say is what we’re always very focused on here is the importance of protein. Protein is a very satiating nutrient. There’s a lot of theories around about how your body will keep seeking out food if you’re not getting a proper protein intake. So that’s the first thing. So every time you sit down to a meal, plan on getting your protein in first, and then you can have a little bit more flexibility with the rest of your meal because you know that you’ve gotten your protein requirements out of the way. And then you can fill in after that with fats and carbohydrates. If you’re a carbohydrate eater, if you’re still trying to practice keto during the holidays, it is a time. perhaps be just a little more flexible with that only because there’s going to be a lot of temptations there’s going to be a lot of things you want to try so again having that intention around that whether it’s taking a bite here or there or allowing yourself certain days of the week or a party or something like that to enjoy a few more carbs again just being really mindful and setting that intention so that you don’t kind of go off the rails with that stuff because some people one of the reasons they do a lower carb lifestyle is because they don’t have Cheryl McColgan (04:40.728)They don’t either feel good when they eat carbs or they have a relationship with them where when they eat too many carbs, it makes them hungrier and eat more. So if you know that you’re that person, you certainly don’t want to set yourself on this crazy path of that during the holidays by eating a lot of extra cookies or potatoes or candy or whatever it is you’re normally avoiding for the most part. So being really mindful about those choices and allowing them in in the quantities that make sense for you and your personal goals. So the other thing is eating to 80 % fullness. Now this is something that we should be practicing pretty much all of the time if you’re doing an eating program where you’re doing just more of an intuitive eating kind of style. If you want to give yourself time for your brain to get the feeling of whether you’re actually full or not. So eating slowly, eating mindfully, chewing your food and stopping. when you’re already starting to feel full because it takes a little while for your brain to catch up with your body. So if you’re already starting to feel full, chances are 20 minutes later, 30 minutes later, you’re gonna be, you might have that stuffed feeling, which a lot of people have after Thanksgiving meals. So just being really mindful of why you’re adjusting to take note of how you’re feeling if you’re starting to get full and shooting for that 80 % mark in that way. If you go a little over, you’re not going to end up on the couch with your holding your stomach and just being miserable. You’ll probably end up in a much better place. Also, I have two thoughts on this. And again, it’s about knowing the kind of person you are. So there’s this idea of saving your calories for certain big meals and everything. And I think that that can work for some people, especially if you’re tracking your macros and you’re eating a meal that maybe you made or that it’s a simple meal like tracking a certain quantity of turkey, for example. that’s very easy to track. So you can either save some calories for later, so not eating as much throughout the day so that you know when you have a big meal that you’re not going to go over your calorie allotment for the day. But again, it’s about knowing yourself. If in the past you’ve experienced that, for example, on Thanksgiving, you don’t eat most of the day or you just eat a very small breakfast and then you go totally overboard, you feel sick the rest of the night, Cheryl McColgan (06:52.886)You might be better off having two smaller meals earlier in the day, again, very protein forward. And maybe yes, okay, saving a little bit of your calories for that last final bigger meal, but not allowing yourself to get so ravenous that you just go off the rails when the meal comes. So again, knowing yourself here is the key to practicing this and to knowing which one will work best for you. So just give that some consideration before you go into those days where you know it’s going to be a bigger food day. knowing your plan also is a big key here. So don’t wait until the last minute to kind of mentally prepare yourself for what’s going to happen. Have a plan when you go in at this point, you know, you’re listening to this, you’re not a five year old, you’re an adult, you’ve had many holiday meals, you know what your tendencies are. And so just again, set some intentions around how you want it to be different this year and how you’re going to approach things so that you end up with a successful holiday. The next thing is holiday stress and cortisol. Cortisol is such a big trending topic right now. I’m just getting out of balance. And so the top triggers are in this scenario, probably family obligations or family relationships. So again, just setting your intention, kind of knowing how you approach these kinds of things, knowing the kind of stress that you might encounter. And having some strategies ready to better deal with that. So for example, if you know that you get very overwhelmed once all your family’s around and all these things are happening, maybe make it your intention that you’re going to go for a walk after dinner or something like that. Or maybe just take some time for yourself to kind of regroup, calm down, do some deep breathing exercises, whatever it is that you feel is going to nourish you. is you don’t have to spend eight hours in a row with the entire family doing all these activities that can be very, very stressful. again, knowing yourself and taking a little break away from that if you need to practice some breathing exercises, practice some ways to calm yourself and certainly getting into activity throughout the day. It’s a really nice way to accomplish that. I also find that there’s this idea. Cheryl McColgan (09:02.127)of the way that people communicate, you know, often at the holidays, it’s like everybody’s around the table and you’re really face to face and you’re, you’re catching up on things. Sometimes you’re talking about intense topics, but there’s this idea of, you know, conversing face to face, which is very intense and can be one way. And another thing where it’s more like a side by side interaction, like if you’re walking or you’re doing an activity, you’re not looking at each other, you’re still being able to communicate. You’re still being able to have time together, but it’s just not that really intense draining kind of thing. So maybe thinking of some activities that you can do together as a family, or again, taking that little time for yourself away for a little bit can be a way to mitigate some of that stress. And then maintaining your routine. You’re not going to be able to maintain your routine probably perfectly over the holidays, but the more that you can stick to that, the more that you can stick to your routine about going to bed at a certain hour and doing a certain amount of exercise that you normally do, the less that you deviate from that plan, the better you’ll feel throughout the holidays. Again, it’s going to require some flexibility. Things are going to, you know, not always go perfectly, but if you can stay to some kind of schedule and be consistent, that’s really going to help you a lot. Also, you don’t need to add a lot of extra stress to yourself during this time. So if it is more stress to get in your workout for that day, then it is to mindfully skip a day and then do what you need to do, you’re going to actually lessen your cortisol doing that because if you still try to do all the things, workout, do all this, and then you have the extra stress on top of it, that might make you feel even more overwhelmed. So taking those breaks when you need it, being mindful, and not using that as an excuse to skip workouts or to skip taking care of yourself or to go to bed late every night, really try to find much as possible, you know some people hate this word, but trying to find balance around that as much as possible is going to be really a key to having a great holiday season. And then the next thing is around healthy drinks and alcohol holidays. Whether you choose not to drink at all and that is certainly a trend now that I 100 % support because you know I’ve said it before Cheryl McColgan (11:20.503)And I’ll say it again, just for those you who may not have heard this, or you may not always have it in your awareness may not want to happen your awareness, I am sometimes guilty of that myself. But alcohol is a poison. There’s really no amount of it that is safe. And depending on who you are in your health, potential problems, it can be much worse for some people. So that’s definitely something to give some consideration to it increases your risk of cancer, it increases risk of you basically everything negative can be traced back to consuming alcohol. Now, that all being said, many of us still choose to drink knowing the dangers and knowing the risks with that. And there is also an idea. So if you look at French culture or Italian culture, and people often call that out because those cultures drink primarily wine, but it’s not the Reservoir Troll. That’s kind of been debunked for a long time. It’s more about that they use alcohol as a way to be together in community and to be very social and they don’t go overboard with it. So that’s probably at least part of the reason that we find in those populations that it doesn’t seem to be as detrimental to health. But again, all that being said, just make good choices around it. Be mindful of quantity, be mindful of very sugary drinks. just, it racks up the calories. So always choosing those beverages that might be on the slightly healthier side for the lack of a better word for alcohol, but that would be things that are clear that don’t have a lot of additives, drinking organic wines whenever possible, taking a break in between to have a glass of water before you have the next one and really thinking about whether you even need the next one. There’s a great app for this that I’ve called out on the podcast before called Sunny Side and it just helps you track drinks. And if you do it in the moment as you’re doing it, it might really make you consider Hey, do I need to go to this next one? Is that going to totally derail me? Because the other thing that happens when people drink alcohol is they tend to make less good decisions around food, right? They may say, well, forget it. just, you know, I’m going to have everything now because it clouds your judgment. And it also can, I think, make you hungrier when you’re having alcohol. So that’s just something to be thinking about too. And then so that’s the drinks part, the food part. Cheryl McColgan (13:41.444)What is your strategy around going to parties? Again, knowing yourself here is key. So if you go to a party, super hungry, or you’re just going to eat whatever’s available and it might not be the healthiest choices. Or do you choose to have a high protein, small meal before you go to a party so that you’re not as ravenous when you get there. And that makes it so much easier to only choose the things that are really appeal to you that feel worth it calorie wise that are a great taste. Because it really, the holidays should be more about being in community with people and nurturing your relationships. And we make it so much about food and drink. And that is an amazing and fun part. mean, you know, this is coming from our recipe developers, when who loves to eat, who loves to cook. It’s kind of the way that I show my love and appreciation for people is to feed them and to cook for them. So I am again, I’m certainly not there’s no judgment around this. It is just trying to be mindful of decisions that you’re making when you’re in these social situations. And when you’re parties in particular because the types of foods that tend to be there are not the most nourishing. So one thing you could try if this is you and you know you struggle with this is having a two-bite rule or something like that. So if there is a dish that you really want to try or something extra that’s there that is really looks appealing to you, just having two bites and then moving away from that for a while. And again, so this is where eating a small meal before you go really helps because you’re not ravenous and then you just have a couple bites here and there. You’re focused on socializing and being with the people that you’re enjoying. And I think that can be a really great way to approach parties. Another scenario is when you again have these family gatherings, quite often you might be asked to bring a dish. So this is the perfect opportunity to bring something that you love, bring something that you know is healthy and nourishing for you or that works for your particular diet or works for your particular goals. And most people, you know, enjoy trying new things too. So it can be, know, whatever it is, whatever dish it is that appeals to you. That way, you’ll know you’ll have something there that you like and that will be healthy for you. And then you get to share it with your friends as well. So that’s another way to approach the eating strategy. Then we have travel. Cheryl McColgan (15:59.843)wellness. So travel can be tricky because while there are much better options nowadays, airports tend to be very expensive. If you’re driving on the road, I almost feel like that’s actually better because almost every gas station now will have some healthier options, whether it’s meat sticks, jerky. Quite often in the gas station, I can find boiled eggs. In the refrigerated section, there’s always pickles and things like that. But another thing to do is just to pack small meal with you when you’re traveling. you’re on the road or in a plane, you can make it work. I learned a lot about this this spring when I end up doing those bodybuilding competitions because you have to be so specific with your food during those times that I traveled multiple times with my own food that I prepared and made. So that is another way to handle that. And then also just making sure that you take breaks when you’re traveling as much as possible. So whether you’re in the car or on the road, take some time to stop. get out of the car, move a little bit, just stop at a rest area if you’re driving or if you’re on the plane, making sure that you get up every hour or so, which can be, I know frustrating for seat mates and things like that, but you really just want to make sure, you know, there’s health reasons behind that too, because there’s that risk of clots when you’re on a plane. So just taking that little bit of time to get up, walk back to the back, even if you don’t have to go to the bathroom or something, just getting out of your seat for a little bit when you’re traveling on the plane can really go long way into just making your body feel a little better when you finally are back on the ground again. And then there’s this idea too, during the holidays that we have to do it all. And I know I’m very guilty of this, but I will say the older I’ve gotten, the better I’ve gotten at managing this a little bit better. And that is, you you know the energy reserves that you have, you know the amount of energy it requires to be with certain people, you know the amount of energy it takes to be out of your house, go to an event. be at a party, stay out late, all of those things. You don’t have to say yes to everything. I know this is really difficult for people, but I like to think of it like this. When I say no to certain things, I really am saying yes to certain other things. So for example, if I say no to a specific party, I’m saying yes to recharging myself to having that extra time to do a workout or cook for my family. Cheryl McColgan (18:22.538)or whatever it is, just it’s not a don’t think of it as no, think of it as a yes to something else. So that really helps me when I’m trying to manage those decisions. The other thing to note about that is you want to balance that idea with the holidays are a special time and it’s pretty limited. And it often involves people that might not be in town all the time, you only get to see once or twice a year. And so just be mindful of that as well. You might have to expend a little bit of extra energy in one specific weekend or evening in order to accomplish, you know, seeing the people that you need to see and that you want to see while they’re in town and balancing that with again, your personal energy reserves and taking care of yourself. So the big word here, I guess that you’re noticing is balance, but it just requires being really mindful and having a plan. So, you making the choice, whether it’s making the choice to drink alcohol or not drink alcohol or go to a specific party, you’re not going to specific party, whatever it is, you definitely want to have peace around it and you want it to be intentional. So there’s that word again. But just, you know, not just going with the flow so much and letting everything run over you during the holidays, I think is really what it boils down to. You want to every day just take a few minutes to… of breathe and be like, okay, what’s going on today? What’s happening? Do I have this party? then you’re managing the rest of your schedule around that. So you can try to find as much balance as possible. And then after a big event, the next day can be quite tiring, right? So if you still happen to weigh yourself the next day, and you know, I’ve talked about this before, I personally have weighed myself every day for years and years and years. I have a fine relationship with a scale. I’m able to look at it as just data. it is not a big deal for me. And I do think that over time that this has allowed me to maintain my weight because whenever you see it creeping up, you’re not suddenly surprised by that. You can see a trend over time and you give you more time to do something about it. Whereas the shorts amounts of times in my adult life, mainly when I was dating and, somebody’s house in the mornings and stuff when I didn’t have the opportunity to weigh, it starts to creep up on you. Cheryl McColgan (20:34.574)So for me personally, after an event, I would still weigh because it doesn’t bother me. If you’re the type of person where the scale really negatively affects your mood, you may not want to weigh yourself the day after event because what happens at events, you tend to get a lot more sodium than usual. You might not drink as much water. You might eat more carbs. There’s a number of reasons why you might wake up the next morning and see the scale be up three to five pounds. Just know that that is not real weight. That is just water weight from the day before. And what you don’t want to do though is go through the whole entire holidays, not checking on that because that is when you are likely to possibly gain some weight. And since I mentioned the scale, will say this I’ve been using is for over a year now, the Hume BodyPod. It’s on some amazing sales right now with Black Friday and going into Christmas and going into the new year. They usually have a sale as well. And I have a whole episode on it. know, the at home body composition scales are not perfect. Nobody will argue that they are. But this one is very comparable to a Dexascan, which is pretty much the gold standard for weight. And it keeps track of your body composition as well. So if you are working on gaining muscle or losing fat, things like that, the scale gives you a lot more data around that. If you’re interested in it, I love it. I’ve had it, like I said, I’ve been using it for over a year now. I have a great discount code that stacks on top of whatever sale. is going on. So look for that in the show notes, but the link, if you just want to go to the link that will work and automatically apply the discount. is heelnourishgrow.com slash Hume, H-U-M-E. And you can check out that scale. if you want to, and again, like I said, it’s not perfect. had a whole episode on that to kind of tell you the things about it to be an awareness. If you start using it, you have to be super consistent with when and how you use it. And that will help you get the best data from it. But just keep in mind, it’s not perfect. people have expectations around it that it’s going to be kind of this magical tool. But I have found it to really be an awesome, amazing asset in my wellness box. And again, when I go out for that kind of holiday thing, I will still weigh I will be aware though that it’s not going to be probably a number that I’m liking that I get on there. But then usually by the next day or two days later, drink a lot of water, go back to your normal thing, and your weight should be also back to normal as well. So Cheryl McColgan (22:56.44)Again, if you know they’re the kind of person that will freak you out, just wait a day or two before you get back on the scale. But I wouldn’t go the entire holiday season not weighing yourself. you only weighing yourself once a week has that same problem associated with it because of those fluctuations in your daily water weight. If you just have one data point for the week, it’s less likely to know if that is real or not. So that is one another reason to keep weighing consistently throughout the holiday season because least three to four times a week is much better than only one. And then after the event, so the next day we just talked about the next day a little bit, I would rehydrate, have some electrolytes, make sure you have a protein heavy breakfast, and again just go back to normal after that. I think that’s where people really get off the rails during the holidays because they think of it, I had one bad meal, I’m putting air quotes around that if you’re not watching the video, but they have one bad meal. And it kind of sends them in this spiral where they think, well, I already messed up. Might as well just wait and start again at the new year. No, you can have one awesome holiday meal one night out with friends, enjoying a party, something like that. And then the next day, you just simply go back to normal. Do everything the way that you always do. And you have a lot less likelihood of putting on a whole bunch of weight during the holidays. So I think that covered all of the points that I had in the document that I already had mapped. out. Again, I had another episode like this where maybe I mentioned some other tools. I’m going to guess they’re pretty similar though. But it’s always good to revisit this year after year because you start to think of things in different ways. You start to have new tools at your disposal, new things that you learn personally that really work for you, new things that you’ve learned about yourself. So I always think it’s important to revisit these things each year and, you know, go into the holidays being very mindful and intentional so that we don’t get off the rails. So Going forward I It was like I said, it’s just been procrastination central over here for me to get back on the mic and start recording the podcast again But now that we’ve broken the seal, hopefully it’s going to continue on the once-a-week basis that always has in the past I’m going to be doing something a little different at least for this Time period between now and the new year in that I will probably most likely be doing mostly solo Cheryl McColgan (25:22.672)episodes just because there’s a few topics that I’ve wanted to cover. I need to do a follow up on the whole bodybuilding situation that had competitions that happened this spring and summer and share with you some insights and some things and some new tools that I learned out of that as well as just a few topics that I think deserve some coverage and it would be easier for me to just put it out there myself. As far as I did record one interview last week with somebody that I is more kind of a more unquote, I’m going to say again with the air quotes, but I’m going say kind of a normal person that is not a particular expert in a certain way, although that’s not really true because she’s like an Olympian and she has a new company that she’s working with women on. outdoor skills and should be really, I think, entertaining for you guys. She’s also competed in bodybuilding and learned some lessons out of that that she shared with me in the interview. So I definitely have that one coming up here soon. And then in the meantime, if there are topics that you’d like me to cover or guests that you’d like to see the interviewed on the podcast, as always, please get in touch and let me know if you could leave a comment below. Let me know what you found most useful about this particular episode and what strategies you will be using during the holidays. If I missed anything, I’d love it if you’d share in the comments anything that I missed or thoughts that you have on dealing with the holidays because I’m sure everyone else that sees it and reads it, you know, we all need all the help we can get during the stressful season. So I would love it if you could share that in the comments. But so that’s it for now. I will see you again next time. And hopefully, like I said, we will be back on much more regular schedule going forward. So have a wonderful rest of your day and I will talk to you soon.

“I've been thinking about it for a while… It was pretty apparent. I think because I'm very happy with how my career went, it made the decision easy. Realizing that I'm not in the mix for making teams anymore, I didn't want to keep running just to try to make USAs year in, year out.
