On the first episode of the new year, I jump back into the performance side of things with sports scientist, reacher and PhD, Joshua Rowe. I was connected with Josh through Maurten who has been supporting my triathlon journey with their gels and drink mixes and when I wanted to get some guidance on fueling plans and to learn more about their Hydrogel technology, they linked me up with Josh. We dive into his experience with running and fueling, diving into his own performance research studies on fueling, gut training and thresholds and why the hydrogel technology works so well to minimize GI distress while oxidizing really efficiently. Carbs have been the enemy for me the last few years, but as I get into proper endurance training, they're becoming my friend and I got to ask Josh a ton of questions that have bolstered this relationship with his guidance as an expert in the field.
Read MoreOn the final episode of my solo series and of the year, I wrap up by sharing an overview of my own inner journey over these past years since 2017 and the different people, modalities, and teachers I've worked with. Reflecting back on all of the time, energy, resources I've put into this healing, development and growth has been interesting with a big recent shift and realization that I'm only just starting to tap into my right brain and heart. So how did I get here? I speak about my latest DMT ceremony and the work of Michael Singer, IFS by Richard Schartz, inner child work and the challenges with expression and truly expressing myself. It's been a scary journey as well as rich, beautiful and fruitful and the deeper I go the more unknown and scary things can be but I feel so fortunate to have landed on this path and discovered all of these deep experiences and teachers that have helped me along the way.
Read MoreIn this long overdue solo episode, I start off a series of three episodes to finish 2021 where I dive into some of the biggest issues in my life and that I’ve been working through. In the first part, I talk about my relationship with food and disordered eating and how the spiral of shame can trigger a pattern of over eating. I touch on the importance of personal values and how the lack of values as a society have led us down a misguided path, and that ultimately a revolution of personal responsibility is the way forward. In order to do this we have to stay connected to our hearts, and recently I’ve drifted away from that connection myself, which takes work and is a practice of remembering.

I go into a powerful experience of sadness, working through anger to get there, re-reading Dr. Glover's No More Mr. Nice Guy and his core message that most of us don't feel safe being ourself.
