Motivation is the least dependable thing you can rely on for getting ish done. So, the ideas about “how to get motivated” are often… overrated. It takes discipline to get things done, as well as some other things that can help, which I talk about in this episode. If you want to learn more about Mel Robbins, check her out here: https://melrobbins.com/. Her simple 5-second rule is a game changer, as I mention in this episode. It will help you learn how to get motivated quicker than you can blink....

The hotly debated topic of whether you “just need to ride more” or “lift more weights” needs to end. Yes, you need to ride your bike, but you also need to strengthen the muscles that power your bike. It not only makes you a stronger cyclist, but it also increases your resiliency on and off the bike. (Not to mention it also adds to your overall health.) So, strength training for cyclists may be the differentiating factor in your training. But, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming or take hours eve...

This episode is my first – and certainly not my last – interview, and I’m so excited to share it with you. In this episode, I chat about BIPOC inclusivity in mountain biking. Let’s talk about the importance of creating a safe space in the mountain biking community for cyclists who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). I am by no means an expert in this space, but I’m joined by someone who is: Brooke Goudy. About Brooke Goudy Brooke is a co-founder of the local Black Girls Do Bike ...

In today’s episode, we’re finding ourselves in the middle of February. So, New Year’s Resolutions are likely still continuing strong, or they’ve taken a nose dive. Either way, today’s podcast is meant to help you make your goals more actionable with tinier habits or process goals. I started to discuss this concept a bit in Episode 2 when I talked about going for the lowest hanging fruit for your goals. Today, we’re going to break down your big hairy goals into process goals. This makes your goa...

Today, we’re diving into protein. How much you should get each day, why you should eat that much, as well as how you can eat that much protein and what ways you can build a meal using protein. The RDA vs. What an Athlete Needs Studies have shown we need more than the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA). Here’s a quick recap of the numbers I outline in this episode. (Special thanks to Examine.com for detailing these study outcomes so easily): If you’re sedentary, aim for 0.54-0.82g/lb or 1.2-1.8g...

This is one of the most common questions I get, because many women prefer to get toned over building strong muscle that takes up more space. So, will lifting weights make you bulky? Keep in mind that “bulky” is also a very subjective term. None of us can really define it, but it’s up to you to define what it means to YOU. This is personal to your own body, not someone else’s body. No one should tell you what your body should or should not look like. You don’t have to listen to their BS. So, wh...
