Girls Gone Wod Podcast

It’s time for a classic J&C episode, and I have to say, this week we are really in our element with a lot of randomness and a LOT of Mean Girls references… even for us. We discuss the latest CrossFit documentary “The Redeemed and the Dominant,” what we look for in a new gym, and how to know when it’s time to move on from your current gym or just reevaluate your relationship with CrossFit in general. We also discuss Joy’s latest impulse marathon decision (yep, she went there), and things that everyone else loves that we just don’t understand (e.g. activated charcoal everything and cold-shoulder shirts. WHY. JUST WHY.) Support the podcast! Click the SUBSCRIBE button on iTunes! Please leave us a review on iTunes!!

The moment Mary Shenouda walked through the door for this interview, we knew we had met a kindred spirit. Founder of The Paleo Chef and Phat Fudge, this woman is independent, smart, and driven. We hear about her journey from being a bullied teenager with chronic migraines, to a full-time personal chef and renowned natural foods entrepreneur. We also discuss overcoming fear to pursue fulfillment, prioritizing your own self-awareness, the value of scrappiness, and why self-help books can just make your problems worse. https://phatfudge.com/ Support the podcast!

This week we are joined by Brianna Battles! Brianna is a mom to two young sons, and specializes in coaching pregnant and postpartum athletes. Having grown up as an athlete, she was surprised by the lack of resources and research-based information that was available to her as she tried to stay active during her first pregnancy, and then as she struggled to recover from a traumatic C-section. Brianna decided to live out the saying, “Be who you needed when you were younger,” and set out to create a coaching program to support pregnant and postpartum athletes. Now, in addition to coaching women 1:1 around the world, she provides online education courses and collaborates with women’s health professionals to ensure that all women have access to the information and resources that she herself felt were missing from her own experience.  http://www.briannabattles.com/ Support the podcast!

It’s been a few weeks since we caught up with just J&C, so this week we sat down at our favorite breakfast spot in Denver to record a “just us” episode! We talk about the Open, how much we love TDC’s Open “clues,” and remind everyone of the dangers of Open Season Fever. We catch up about Miles and the drama of being 2 years old (and the even bigger drama of trying to parent a toddler), talk about how we navigate posting about polarizing issues, and ask for your input about what could be next for GGW.

Camille Leblanc-Bazinet is one of the most well-known women in CrossFit. From being an early adopter of CrossFit and a positive body image pioneer, to competing in the CrossFit Games seven times and winning the 2014 CrossFit Games, you might think you already know just about everything about Camille… but there is so much more to this amazing woman than meets the eye! This week we had the opportunity to sit down with Camille in Boulder and discuss body image and training, but also learned about the values that drive her, her dedication to her Chemical Engineering degree, what she hopes to pass on to the next generation of women, and even some of her favorite marriage hacks.

This week we dive right in, with our reactions to the past 10 days of non-stop “Resolutions” diet culture. How do you “break up” with diet culture? We talk about the ways we’ve evolved in the past few years and how we think the world is ready for Diet Culture 2.0. We share some tips from the National Eating Disorder Association about how to love your body, and talk about the different things we appreciate about what our bodies can do. Also, Joy talks about her new “happy light,” taking Scott to his first FitWall class, and we reminisce about Claire’s past experiences with pole dancing… which of course leads us to talking about Vegas, and inevitably, Britney.

So long, 2017! Before we dive in 2018, we are recalling what we learned this year, how the Year of Yes evolved, how our mindset about dieting and exercise has continued to grow, and what we’re ready to leave behind as we go into the new year. Claire also catches everyone up about the big news she subtly mentioned last week, and talks about what’s next for her. Support the podcast! Click the SUBSCRIBE button on iTunes!

This week we welcome Craig Ballantyne to the podcast, and immediately dive in like old friends! Craig is a Productivity & Success Transformation Coach from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and the author of The Perfect Day Formula: How to Own the Day and Control Your Life and The Great Cardio Myth. We learn a little bit about Craig’s background as a trainer and fitness nerd, and how his commitment to efficiency has made him into a successful business coach, as well as an advocate for ditching the low-and-slow cardio mindset. Craig explains how to get started with “Owning Your Day,” even if you’re a working mom with a toddler who feels like there is no hope (cough cough), and gives us some insider info that might convince you once and for all to never step on an elliptical again.
