Girls Gone WOD Podcast

We are so excited to welcome Margaux Alvarez back to the podcast this week! (Check out episodes 157 and 228 for her previous interviews) We love Margaux for so many reasons: her laid back attitude, her balanced approach to life and training, and of course her passion for wine! This week we catch up about her recent move to Las Vegas, how she manages training for the CrossFit Games while running a business, and what she’s learned about her own expectations for herself along the way.

We’re halfway through the year and it’s time to look back and see how far we’ve come with Claire’s “Year of Self” and Joy’s “Year of Connection.” We’ve definitely come a long way from years past where we’ve had to recap and explain timelines missed and goals forgotten, but having year-long themes has really worked out for us this time! 2018 has already been a crazy year in a lot of ways, but we’re excited to see what happens next! We also read a couple of emails from the past few weeks, and throw in a few Would-You-Rathers for good measure, because we can’t be serious all the time.

What do the patriarchy, Miss America, beach sunsets, and metaphorical donuts have in common? If you’ve been here for a while, you can probably guess that we’ve found a way to tie them all together in another kind-of-ridiculous, somewhat off-topic, classic J&C episode. Which begs the question, can we be off-topic if we’re the ones who decide the topics? You be the judge. Sponsored by Kettlebell Kitchen! Discount code GGW Support the podcast!

Who’s ready for some J&C banter and a little follow-up Q&A? This week we cover a few questions that we didn’t get to last week about our experiences sharing vulnerable moments on the podcast, what supplements we take, and how we navigate life transitions in our marriages. We also chat a little bit about the Games and what we’re excited about – and uncover a very important Mean Girls reference that we missed in our last episode.

This week is a classic J&C Q&A sesh! We discuss everything from our latest hair product faves, to bigger topics like how we went from panicking about our WOD schedules and tracking everything we eat, to living stress-free about our workout and diet habits, and even advocating for taking a few extra days (or weeks!) out of the gym. We also discuss food guilt and the fact that, even though it’s something we’ve been discussing for years, it’s still a huge topic worth talking about.

This week we’re back with a J&C episode and we have a lot of processing to do. Processing our last episode with the medium, and processing our travel experiences and why travel is important to us. We also talk about the difference in mindsets between “food is fuel” vs eating as an emotional experience, and why we have to acknowledge that there needs to be a middle ground.

This week we have our much-anticipated interview with psychic medium Michelle Dewitt! We hear from Michelle about when she first knew that she was a medium, how she began to cultivate this skill, and why it took until she was 40 for her to really dive in and make it her life’s work. She tells us some of the craziest messages she’s received, and the most intense experiences she’s had. And we talk about how, whether you believe in psychics or not, the work of a medium should be to bring more connection, intuition, and confidence into your life – who can argue with that?

This week’s episode is coming to you live from ICELAND! We recently spent 5 days in Iceland with Under 30 Experiences with 15 amazing friends from the GGW community.

We are kind of on a psychic kick lately, and this week we chat about our upcoming interview with a real life Tarot Card reader. We also hear about Brandon’s nursing school graduation, the Taylor Swift concert, and why it’s ok to believe whatever you want to believe… especially when it comes to your MIL trying to convince you that ghosts are real.

It’s J&C live from the patio at JustBE! We had a blast hanging out with the listeners who came to see us at this live recording, where we reminisced about 5 YEARS of podcasting. Can you believe it’s been that long? We barely can! We chat about all the things that have changed in our lives since we recorded our first episode, do a little J&C Q&A, then answer listener questions about our own J&C co-host relationship hacks, behind-the-scenes GGW secrets, and what we’re most proud of about one another. This episode was a blast and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Support the podcast! Click the SUBSCRIBE button on iTunes! Please leave us a review on iTunes!!

What’s the difference between self care and self indulgence? Do you ever feel guilty for wanting to “follow your passion” when most of the world is just trying to survive? We cover these topics this week, plus Joy tries a new cycling studio and sees a psychic, and we’re transported aaalll the way back to Episode 50 when Claire had a less-than-convincing Tarot reading and swore off psychics forever. But Joy is convinced… about the psychic, anyway, although she’s worried she might be “getting too old” for the new trend of spin classes that are actually just dance parties. Support the podcast!

Come hang out with us on Joy’s front patio for this week’s episode! We sit down and chat about Gretchen Rubin’s book “Happier at Home,” and about the difference between apathy and priorities, and why some people love interior decorating and professional sports, while others would be fine living in a warm cave with no TV.  We catch up about our latest eating habits, some of Joy’s favorite new products, and even throw in a few WYRs.

This week it’s J&C and we are coming to terms with a few things. First, our feels about a certain CrossFit celeb who we may have been too hard on, an official statement about some eyebrow judgments we made, then our feelings about IV spas, and some less controversial opinions about marathon training, coaching experiences, and a long overdue life update from Claire about her up-and-coming flower business. Sometimes having your casual conversations with your BFF recorded and broadcast to the world can be trickier than you think… but luckily, it all comes back to our community and our goal to connect women around the world through a healthy mindset and way of life.

This week we are joined by Becky Harsh! Becky is a CrossFit Seminar Staff, local affiliate owner, and CrossFit judge extraordinaire. We have loved Becky for her quick wit and excellent air squat technique ever since she taught our Level 2 Seminar last year, and this week we hear all about how she landed a gig with the CrossFit Van (aka training staff), her behind-the-scenes experiences judging at the CrossFit Games and the 18.2 Open Announcement, what it’s like to own an affiliate with the most ridiculous name you’ve ever heard of.

This week we are excited to welcome Jason and Roz Ackerman on the podcast! Jason and Roz are the power couple behind Own Your Eating, a flexible eating program that is the culmination of their shared lifetime of experience in the diet and fitness industry. Jason is a CrossFit OG, CrossFit Seminar Staff, and affiliate owner whose background in wrestling and bodybuilding left him with some diet demons to reckon with. Roz was athletic throughout school and college, but like many of us, was constantly going on and off diets and trying to out-cardio her eating habits. Now they strive to find harmony in their lifestyle, bringing together the realities of life and the existence of mac & cheese pizza with the goals and expectations they have for themselves and their fitness. https://www.ownyoureating.com/ Support the podcast!
