Are you motivating yourself out of self-hatred or self-love? Spoiler alert Being a d*ck to yourself will not motivate you.

From "I want to do better" to "Look what I just did!"

We don't want you to be stuck, we want to help you move forward! These myths are the ones we see holding people back most often. It can be really easy to procrastinate those new things you want to try or big goals you have but the truth is, it's not going to get easier to do the hard thing. However, it's a bad idea to do a full 180 and try to get multiple new habits to stick simultaneously. Start small and work your way up, stacking habits as you go.

A big question we get is "how do you stay motivated?" and the simple answer is, we don't! We stay consistent. We've learned how to build habits that keep us consistent. Furthermore, we know that failure is fabulous! It is our greatest teacher, allowing us to constantly learn and improve. Stop getting in your own way by believing the worst of yourself. You can choose to create change in your habits and thought patterns.

We have three simple questions that we ask ourselves at the beginning of every quarter and the beginning of every month. They act as a checkpoint to tune in and get intentional so we can make sure we're being our best. We want to share these questions with you and challenge you to answer them for yourself, journal about them, and let them help you bring some intentionality into how you step into the next three months so that you can end the year with a bang.

Lindsay constantly inspires us by showing up authentically and achieving her goals, even when she does not feel qualified to succeed.

In our conversation, she shares why she chooses to show up authentically and how she embraces fear to move forward instead of letting it hold her back. You'll learn from Lindsay's experiences that you can feel fear and push forward anyway. You can lack confidence and still show up to achieve your goals and create deep connections with other individuals.

It's common to think about what we're consuming in terms of food or hydration, but what about the things we're consuming in the forms of social media, TV, what we listen to, what we read, who we surround ourselves with, and the thoughts in our heads? All these things make up what we call your "life diet." Wouldn't it be powerful if we paused and thought about what our life diet consists of and how we can make some changes that make it more impactful in a positive manner? We want you to optimize your life diet, and we have some tips to share that will help you get started.

Anastasia Bucsis is a two-time Olympic speed skater, born and raised in Calgary. In the lead-up to Sochi 2014, Anastasia came out publicly in opposition to Russia's anti-LGBTQ+ laws and competed as the only 'out' athlete from North America. Following her athletic career, Anastasia joined the CBC Sports team where she hosts "Player's Own Voice- The Podcast." She is a host and analyst at CBC, where she hosts on multiple platforms while staying connected to her speed skating roots by providing color commentary on Road to the Olympic Games. Anastasia is a passionate advocate for mental health issues, eradicating homophobia in sport, and telling the stories of Canada's high-performance athletes.

We love Anastasia for her ability to be her authentic self in any situation regardless of who is in the room, her bravery, and her willingness to jump into new opportunities without knowing where she'll land because she trusts herself to figure it out. All of these qualities shine through as she shares her story. She opens up about her struggle with depression, the process she went through to learn to love and respect herself, and the things she learned from sport that she now uses in the business arena.

The technology in our lives is undeniably valuable in a lot of ways. But the truth is, it does not have our best interests at heart. The devices and apps that we use are designed to keep us on longer and more frequently. So it is up to us to decide what is best for us. It is up to us to create healthy boundaries that allow us to thrive with technology instead of letting it run our lives. We want to help you with this. On this episode we share some of the negative side effects that technology can have and why setting boundaries is so important. We tell you about the boundaries that work for us and we offer suggestions for both macro and micro-changes that you can experiment with in your life to help yourself feel your best, reclaim control over the devices in your life, and intentionally give each day your whole self.

We're talking about a hot topic today, morning routines. It's common to look at the morning routines of successful people and think you should just copy them. But copying them really makes no sense because they don't fit into your unique, wild, and precious life. You need a routine that works for you, your goals, and your body clock.

Overall, we believe that your morning routine is meant to work for you, but also work with you.

We're bringing you two suggestions that we feel will provide a really strong starting place for you to build a morning routine that helps you show up at your best. If you are not currently practicing a morning routine, let this be the week that you take one of the ideas from this episode and take action in creating your own morning routine.

In a previous episode, we talked about how caffeine may be secretly sabotaging you by affecting your sleep, anxiety, and nervous system.

This can be a powerful experiment to help you figure out how to use caffeine in a way that makes you feel your best. We hope this episode will spark your curiosity and encourage you to be an active participant in your health.

Today we're rewinding and jumping into the story behind Paige's Olympic trials. We're diving into the pivotal lessons that Paige learned in the months leading up to her Olympic qualifier. We're looking at how those lessons changed her life, how she uses them now in business, and how you can use them in your life.

Next time you encounter a brick wall in life, we want you to think about this question in your own situation: What opportunity is this situation or experience giving me in this moment? You have more control than you're giving yourself credit for.

Typically in society we hear the message, work really hard to become successful, then you'll be happy.

But in reality, cultivating happiness and positivity alongside working hard is what actually leads to our best performances, and our best performances ultimately lead to our success. So be happy, work hard, get your best results. This is the message we are diving deeply into this episode.

You are in charge of your own joy.

Georgia Simmerling is quite literally the definition of resilience. She has competed at four different Olympics in three different sports. She has over 30 pieces of metal in her body from breaking her legs, spine, wrists, and many more injuries throughout her career. Commitment, dedication, and perseverance are quite literally part of Georgia's DNA.

She is now retired from all of the sports and has founded her company, AG Sports, a marketing agency where she is boldly shifting the conversation from the male-dominated sports agency and focusing on female-centric athletes, sports, and stories.

Sometimes people mistake resilience as a thing that you suddenly acquire or find but that's simply not true. You'll hear in this conversation with Georgia that its a process that takes repeatedly redefining purpose in your life, finding or creating small actionable and achievable goals that continue to give you a path of progress, and celebrating every small accomplishment.

Georgia shows up in the episode as her full self and candidly shares her story. This episode has so many great takeaways, and we can't wait to share them all with you! Listen all the way to the end for a little behind-the-scenes conversation about one of Georgia's hobbies.

We want everyone to feel their best. We want to normalize being aware of what you're putting into your body so that you can make the choices that make you feel your best.

On this episode we're focusing on caffeine. We get into some nerdy stuff about caffeine that we think you deserve to know because you need to know what you're fueling your body with. We get into why we love it, why we don't love it, and we talk about high performance caffeination habits. There is a way to use caffeine to your advantage but there's also a way that can be really damaging to your body in the long term. It may even be secretly sabotaging your effectiveness in the short term.

Ashley Wagner is an American figure skater who is the 2016 World silver medallist and a 2014 Olympic bronze medallist in the team event.

Ashely is unapologetically herself throughout this conversation as she shares how she handled all of the opinions and criticism that she received while she was competing, how she handles opinions and criticism now, and how she has learned to choose confidence.

“Hard choices, Easy life. Easy choices, Hard life” The quote that sparked this entire conversation. Are the small decisions you make every single day helping you build towards the goals you have, or keeping you stuck without you realizing it?

What small change can you make this week to get closer to crushing your goals?

Ten years ago Arianne's competitiveness led her to take part in a 30-day challenge to cut refined sugar out of her diet. The things she learned as a result, about herself and about the food that she had been eating were mind-blowing. So mind-blowing that she has not stopped talking about it or learning about it since.

We're here to share our experiences, knowledge, and tips on hidden sugars. We hope this episode will encourage you to be curious on what you are fueling your body with.

A big component of finding greatness is taking care of yourself, self-recovery, and how you fuel your body. It's all too common for conversations about food to focus on how the food is going to make you look. We want to flip the narrative, we want to give food the respect it deserves for the powerful place it can hold in your life. It has the power to make you feel your best so that you can be your best.

Just because you can be better doesn't mean that you're not good enough right now.

We know first-hand that high achievers often focus on what we are not doing good enough so that we can make a change. But we want to challenge you to stop looking at all the things you are doing wrong in order to get better. Instead, look at the things you truly believe you do great and look at the things you want to do better. Be enough and strive for more.

Limiting beliefs (aka little gremlins talkin smack in the back of your mind), they show up in your life and hold you back. They're the excuses, they're always around, and they're not helping you.

We are all about diving into the real, the raw, the messy middle behind the story. On this episode Paige does just that as she shares her story from the very beginning. Starting out in a small town where she learned to value resourcefulness over resources. She opens up about her experience at the Olympics where she worked through imposter syndrome, realized the importance of prioritizing her needs, and gave one of the best performances of her life after giving herself permission to just have fun. She also talks through what finding greatness meant to her at each stage of her journey and what it means to her now.
