About this listen

When she became a single mom of two young kids, today’s guest made a controversial choice: she kept her daily CrossFit workouts non-negotiable. Many people said it was selfish—but more than a decade later, the results tell a different story.

In this episode, we dive into:


The debate around moms putting themselves first in fitness


Why self-care actually strengthens families and communities


The hard lesson of training through pain (and how to avoid it)


How to redefine intensity as you age and still keep your edge


Whether you’re a parent, coach, or affiliate owner, this conversation will challenge your thinking on what it means to prioritize health—and why it may be the most selfless thing you can do.


👉 Subscribe for more real conversations from our CrossFit community, and drop a comment: Do you think there should be universal training standards—or should it always be individualized?
