Lauren Abernathy | From Weekend Warrior to Full Time Coach

In this episode I sit down with my friend Lauren Abernathy, who you might recognize from Good Spray Coaching. We first discuss the change from being a weekend warrior to being in the midst of her first trip specifically for a big, ambitious project as a full time coach who can climb when she wants to. We also get into the challenges of being a female coach - having your expertise questioned and dealing with the abundance of mostly male internet idiots.  You can find Lauren online at Good Spray Climbing. Follow her on Instagram. From now until the end of December, use the code GOODSPRAY to get 20% off of any of her self-guided programs you'll find HERE.
