Show notes

300 episodes.
Five years.
Hundreds of hours of recordings.
Day 20/20.
Episode 14/14.
We did it!

In this super spesh milestone EP of the Warrior School Podcast, I reflect on our incredible journey to 300 episodes, sharing insights accumulated over five years. I discuss the ‘long way home’ approach that emphasises sustainable fitness and emotional connection over quick fixes. This episode also delves into insights on progressive overload, tailored training, and nutritional strategies for women in perimenopause, as well as balancing training with recovery.

Learn about the significance of your nervous system, hormonal health, and factors like sleep, training, and relationships, visualised through the metaphor of a big red umbrella. Discover how to create healthy habits and routines, manage stress, and build a holistic approach to your health and fitness. We also revisit our 200th episode, focusing on celebrating ourselves and claiming our wins.

I wanted to include so much more, but she’s already at three hours! It’s been wild, fun, hard and so very cool to create, build and nurture her.

THANK YOU for listening.

Big love.
