61. The Key to Better Recovery

This episode is your reminder that more isn’t always better.After a weekend of women stepping outside their comfort zones and choosing growth, Kelsey breaks down something that often gets overlooked in the pursuit of “doing more” — recovery.Because the truth is, your body doesn’t differentiate between stress. Training, work, relationships, lack of sleep… it all stacks. And when that stress outweighs your ability to recover, that’s where things start to fall apart.In this episode, Kelsey walks through the stress + recovery equation and why growth only happens when both are in balance. She shares her own wake-up moments, from pushing too hard to dealing with hormonal issues, and how that shifted the way she approaches training, health, and life.You’ll also learn the five pillars of recovery — sleep, nutrition, nervous system regulation, active recovery, and mental/emotional recovery — and how to actually apply them in your day-to-day routine.This isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing better.If you’ve been stuck in the mindset of “push harder, do more,” this episode will challenge that — and show you how to train, live, and grow in a way that actually lasts.To connect with Kelsey: -Join the One Degree Newsletter: ⁠https://xpandyourlimit.com/theonedegree⁠-Follow Kelsey on socials: @kelseylensmanVisit Xpand Your Limits:-Join events and coaching at xpandyourlimit.com-Follow XYL on socials @xpandyourlimits-Follow Seek the Edge Podcast on socials @seektheedgepod
