And staying the same might feel safe, but it’s not how progress happens.This episode is a bit of a rant (in a loving way).About growth.About change.About letting yourself evolve without apologizing for who you used to be.If you’ve ever looked back at old training logs, old goals, old beliefs, or old versions of yourself and thought, “Yikes…”—this one’s for you.In this episode, we talk about:Why cringing at your past self is actually a sign of growthWhat it means when you outgrow old ideas, strategies, or identitiesWhy staying the same is far more dangerous than changingHow this applies to training, coaching, and life in generalAnd why I’m okay not being the same coach—or person—I was years agoYou don’t need to erase your past to grow past it.And you don’t need to stay loyal to a version of yourself that no longer fits.Growth is cringe.And that’s how you know it’s working.🏃🏻‍♀️GET MY FREE 8-WEEK BASE BUILDING TRAINING PLAN🔥 APPLY FOR MY GROUP COACHING PROGRAM📈 BOOK A TRAINING PLAN TRIAGE➡️ CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP📸  FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM📝 IF I HELPED YOU RUN YOUR FIRST ULTRA, FILL OUT THIS FORM
