What We've Learned from Working with Thousands of Women (And Some of It's Tough Love)

from Training for Life · host Sarah Gilks and Tanna Payne

You're stronger than you think. You're never as alone as you feel. And sometimes — you're your own problem. Show Notes: Sarah and Tanna have worked with thousands and thousands of women. Patterns emerge. Some of it's encouraging; some of it's a straight-up wake-up call. This episode is both. They call it the sh#& sandwich, and that's exactly what it is. What you'll hear: Why women are so much stronger and more capable than they give themselves credit for (and the kickboxing story that proves it) The uncomfortable truth about excuses and how to tell the difference between a reason and a roadblock Why your actions and your goals need to actually be in the same conversation The #1 thing that gets in your way (hint: look in the mirror) Why the biggest transformations are never the ones a scale can measure How vulnerability builds connection and why safe community changes everything The real takeaway: You are not special. Your struggles are not unique. And that is the most powerful thing we can tell you because it means you are never alone in them. Get out of your own way. Watch what you can do.
