Bridget Phetasy sits down with fitness coach Stasia Patwell, to talk about fitness, recovery and how COVID accidentally launched her career. They get into why accountability is the only thing that actually works, how AA and weight training are basically the same program, why most trainers who tell you they love working out might be lying to you, and why Stasia’s approach of embracing the fact that you will never like the workouts might be the thing you need to hear that motivates you. They cover the Ozempic lunch problem, stage fright, why normies need a program as much as people who struggle with addiction, how Stasia ended up living in Greece, what it means to forgive yourself for the years you wasted, and what she’s learned about life from lifting weights. #Fitness #Sobriety #WalkInsWelcome Topics covered: pandemic pivot and accidental business, Zoom fitness and online coaching, accountability in fitness and recovery, AA and sobriety, Ozempic and weight loss culture, strength training for women over 40, self-forgiveness and wasted years, stand-up comedy and stage fright, moving to Greece, Mykonos life as a digital nomad 🎙️ New episodes every week.
