  • Dear Insecurity - What Your Coping Mechanisms are Trying to Tell You

    Dear Insecurity - What Your Coping Mechanisms are Trying to Tell You
    Jan 7 2026
    In this episode, we are diving headfirst into coping mechanisms. Aka adapted survival skills. They develop for a reason and yet we judge ourselves so harshly for using them. And while it's tempting to think that they are what keep us stuck, we'd challenge you to consider how embracing them may be the key to getting unstuck. We're also going to introduce you to our adaptive child alter-egos, Taz and Ursula. Key Topics in this episode: The "adaptive child" vs. "wise adult" framework Why coping mechanisms persist even when they're no longer helpful How shame creates loops that prevent change The role of nervous system safety in building new habits Identity shifts and the grief that comes with change Practical approaches: naming your inner child, self-compassion over self-bullying 💪 Train With Us: Get access to expertly designed daily workouts at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.tacticworksout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🥦 Need Personalized Nutrition Support?

  • The Lessons of 2025

    The Lessons of 2025
    Dec 31 2025
    Some years offer more than others from a learning standpoint and we can both say that 2025 was probably our biggest learning year to date. Learning is not always easy, it is often uncomfortable, and the lessons almost always come at very bad times. But we are grateful to learn them, grow from them, and evolve as people. In this episode, we reflect on our year and what we are taking forward as we celebrate turning a new calendar page into 2026. 💪 Train With Us: Get access to expertly designed daily workouts at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.tacticworksout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🥦 Need Personalized Nutrition Support?

  • Our Goal Setting Fallacy: Why your goals may be setting you up to fail

    Our Goal Setting Fallacy: Why your goals may be setting you up to fail
    Dec 10 2025
    We came up with the Goal / Result / Timeline Fallacy a number of years ago when we saw people consistently setting goals that ended up frustrating them and leading them toward failure. It wasn't that the goal itself was inappropriate, it was the timeline or result attached to it. In most cases it was the fact that these goals often came with both a desired result and timeline instead of one or the other. In this episode, we talk through this fallacy and highlight why it causes such distress and resentment for the process. We also discuss what to do when you just aren't feeling your goal anymore. Spoiler alert - it's ok to change your mind! 💪 Train With Us: Get access to expertly designed daily workouts at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.tacticworksout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🥦 Need Personalized Nutrition Support?

  • Therapy Smerapy - A Couples Counselling Adventure

    Therapy Smerapy - A Couples Counselling Adventure
    Dec 3 2025
    In this episode, we dive headfirst into the unpredictable waters of relationship therapy—armed with, well... nothing. Because that's the thing about therapy, it takes away all your armour (and coping mechanisms). Relationship work is a trip and honestly, sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying. Or at a minimum, make sure you laugh after crying. Our goal with this sharing is to normalize this kind of work because it really is life changing. Even if it is very, very hard. 💪 Train With Us: Get access to expertly designed daily workouts at ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.tacticworksout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🥦 Need Personalized Nutrition Support?

  • Growing Pains: When Grassroots Goes Mainstream

    Growing Pains: When Grassroots Goes Mainstream
    Nov 26 2025
    How do you embrace progress without losing the soul that made a sport special in the first place? That's the question we toy with in this episode. We are experiencing a strange déjà vu as athletes in two niche sports going mainstream. CrossFit exploded during the 2014-2018 years, which were also our most competitive as athletes. And now gravel is following a similar arc. In this episode, we look at the parallels we’ve experienced firsthand. Both CrossFit and Gravel Biking began as a countercultural resistance to the more serious and overproduced mainstream versions of their sport. CrossFit grew from gritty garage gyms to a global spectacle with the rise of the CrossFit Games, title sponsors, and a flood of new unaffiliated athletes. Gravel was once a quiet, adventure-driven niche and is now full of pro teams, big-money races, aero arms races, and media attention. It's a conversation about culture, values, commercialization, and nostalgia. We unpack why these shifts feel emotional, even when growth brings better racing, safer events, and more opportunity for everyone. 💪 Train With Us: Get access to expertly designed daily workouts at ⁠⁠⁠www.tacticworksout.com⁠⁠⁠ 🥦 Need Personalized Nutrition Support?

    Nov 19 2025
    If you've ever felt curious about how some things become SO automatic, this episode is for you! Habits are an evolved tool that free up brain space and resources for more mentally demanding tasks. But the same mechanism that makes useful habits mindless can also unlock some bad habits too.
