1 小时 28 分钟Strong is the new beautiful, but how can women truly embrace their power? Today, I welcome Louise Hazel, a heptathlete and fitness professional. She gained recognition for her athletic achievements, including competing in the heptathlon, which consists of seven track and field events. In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Lou and I cover many topics, from why lifting weights is way more than just a workout to busting myths about strength training. But that's not all! We also talked about how our bodies have their own seasons, and why it's a good thing to really listen to them. Ever wondered what to eat before and after hitting the gym? We talked about that too! We also shared our experience of surrounding ourselves with a supportive community for growth. Lastly, we shared a candid conversation about dealing with tough times and finding strength in letting go. So, grab a cozy spot, maybe a cup of tea, and join me and Louise for a chat that's as heartwarming as a good friend's hug.
