Muscle Science for Women

In today's episode, Ashleigh speaks with family and motherhood fitness influencer Kayla (@kdavis_fitness on IG) about balancing fitness and motherhood as a mom of three (who just happens to send her kids to the same school as Ashleigh's son!) They talk about shared fitness backgrounds, how Kayla's work and life changed during the pandemic and as she raised three kids, and how to encourage your kids to love movement in a pressure-free way. She also talks about what happened that time she went viral on social media when her baby did a dead hang from a pull-up bar...
If you're a parent trying to figure out how to feel fit and strong again, find time for yourself, or help your kids discover a love of movement, this episode is a great place to start.

In this episode Rachel and Ashleigh answer questions about how sleep can impact meal timing, how to properly breathe during exercise (especially for those of you who always feel like you're breathing out when everyone else is breathing in during yoga!) and talk about whether or not there is an "upper limit" on happiness for each of us, and after that point, we actually try to stop ourselves from being any happier. That leads into a convo about self-sabotage, which many of us are familiar with and which can be a pretty big obstacle to achieving your goals, fitness or otherwise.
