EP 25: From Athlete to Entrepreneur w/ Christina Olsen | Fitness Mindset Discipline

In Episode 25 of The G3X Podcast, I sat down with Christina Olsen, a powerful fitness coach and entrepreneur behind Nordic Fitness, to talk about her journey from athlete to business owner. We dug deep into the mental and physical shifts she experienced transitioning from sports to coaching, and how understanding your "why" in fitness can transform your entire lifestyle.Christina brought some serious gems to this episode — we talked about the myths around nutrition, how discipline beats motivation, and why building a community is essential for long-term growth. One of the most powerful moments? When she said, “If it’s easy, it’s the wrong goal.” That one hit hard.We also talked about tracking macros, identity, self-empowerment, and setting big, scary goals to break through your plateaus. Whether you're just getting started or deep in the grind, this episode is packed with real talk and tangible value.📲 Every Friday at 10AM EST, a new episode of The G3X Podcast drops on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts — don’t miss out!👇 Follow Christina OlsenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/christinaolsen_fitness/ Threads: https://www.threads.com/@christinaolsen_fitness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@christinaolsenfitness Linktr: https://linktr.ee/ChristinaOlsennn 👇 Follow Nordic Fitness Clothing Brand:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nordicfitness_llc/ Website; https://christinaolsenfitness.myshopify.com/ 👇 Follow G3X Fitness:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/g3x_fitness/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/g3xfitness/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@g3xfitnessThreads: https://www.threads.net/@g3x_fitnessSnapchat: https://snapchat.com/t/C4YzVOEGX (Twitter): https://x.com/g3xfitnessBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/g3xfitness.bsky.socialLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/g3x-fitness/🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/328XYIL3tkDmUfZicaLT48?si=44f1c303d04b48d8🎙️ Listen on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-g3x-podcast-god-gym-grind-unfiltered/id1789874680🛒 Visit our site for all kinds of God Gym Grind merch: https://g3xfitness.com/💥 Join me on Whatnot for live merch drops!Sign up using my referral link and get a $15 bonus on your first purchase!
