We have so many amazing opportunities today to do whatever it is we want. From teacher to doctor to personal trainer to firefighter! I am inspired by you all and would love to do more of these "Real Women Living Their Fitness" segments.

And when Sofia Huston reached out recently to ask questions for the podcast, I reached back wanting to talk with her and her demanding and interesting job as a wildland firefighter (and soon to be on the hot shot team). 

Listen in and get ready to be inspired by this young woman!

Two podcasts in a week... again! It's a miracle that I hope to continue with. 

This episode, my girl, Ashley Drummonds and I answer a bunch of questions from you guys. We also chat life, workouts (we have some good ones to share), and the Crossfit Open that started last night!

Questions: 

- How do we stay motivated and how to get back on the fitness kick after a long break?
- What are our thoughts on eating protein/carbs within 30 minutes of a workout. 
- What do we eat before a workout? (It might surprise you)
- What was the 1st step we took to starting our fitness businesses.

What a title but that's what this is. A transformation story of struggle and sadness in order to find personal happiness. Katie Waissel, is an X-factor alum with an amazing story. 

Listen as she shares her ah-ha moment after drinking a few too many bottles of wine and her road to find inner peace and love through fitness. 

Now the mom-to-be couldn't be any different than just 12 months ago and there is no turning back. "Big problems sometimes lead to greater blessings" stuck out and really hit home. 

Enjoy! For more from Katie, visit @ProjectBumpNYC and www.project-bump.com

Ashley Drummonds & I are back to answer an awesome question from a listener, Sofia.

Sofia is a female wildland firefighter! Coolest job ever? And has been training twice a day for weeks to prepare for the fire season. Her question? What's the best way to train to build strength AND endurance to meet the demands? Making sure she can carry her own weight in a male dominated field is important and we give our insights into training and nutrition.

Even if you're not a fire fighter, this is a good one with a lot of great info. Including full workouts, nutrition and chat on creating a fitness entrepreneur mastermind group.

Whether it’s a story about weight loss, athleticism, or body confidence… we all have a story to tell on how/why we fell in love with fitness.

This is THE episode to get to know us better as we share our coming of age fitness stories, struggles & accomplishments. Hopefully you can relate. We’re all in this fit life together and when we feel connected, we feel more empowered and capable.

We'll also catch up on life, fitness and blonde moments… because there are some good ones in here. Especially at the end! Don’t miss out.
