Episode 23. Recharge and Recover.

If you want to take on any great challenge like creating art, running a 10K, being a kind person or living a life fully lived then you're going to need to know how you best recharge and recover. Because you can't achieve anything great consistently unless you are taking great care of yourself. And that means you need to know how you recharge and recover. And recharging and recovering are not always the same thing. Give this episode a listen and you'll know what we mean and you'll also know how you can set yourself up to recharge and recover so you can set yourself up to take on all those great challenges in your life.

KEEP ON KEEPING ON

We said we would be back and we are back! And we are back with an episode that is all about coming back! Because it's not easy to come back to the starting line. It's not easy to come back and try again. It's not easy to come back and try your best. It's not easy to come back knowing that no matter how good or not so good this goes you need to come back again. That's why we came back with this episode. Thank you for listening to the show and thank you for coming back.

A Whole Lotta Nothing

ep 18 - A Whole Lotta Nothing

Join coach tammmie and Coach Chris as they talk about... nothing? Well, at least they talk about nothing in particular. Episode 18 has no theme on purpose... it's themeless but not thoughtless. And this kind of nothing really is something else. Weight lifting and the question of whether or not 11 lbs. dumbells exist or not, some great book talk, Taylor and Travis obviously, some lost at sea meal planning, and so much more makes this episode a whole lotta of nothing... a whole lotta fun. We hope you enjoy it!

Ep. 15 - Size (Not Always) Matters

Join the coaches Bennett as they talk about how size doesn't always matter when it comes to starting a project, developing consistency, taking on a goal, or getting across a starting line. (What did you think this episode was about??)
