    Ep. 12 - Navigating Jams

    This week Megan and Georgia discuss how to navigate jams, addressing things like not knowing anyone, feeling nervous, feeling out of place around high level athletes, unfamiliar environments, and pushing too hard to impress others. They also share their own stories of feeling anxious before events and how they navigated that. Also, listen until the end to hear their new section on underrated athlete of the week!

    Ep. 11 - Replying to the Controversy

    This week Megan and Georgia take four comments that were made on a recent social media post and give them responses to these contentious, complex topics. The overarching themes are: 1. Equal prize money 2. Speed courses: should they be the same or different? 3. Women’s only classes, should we run them if they lose money? 4. All the above, does this not just divide women further? Tune in to hear what we have to say. If you have enjoyed this podcast and found it useful, please share it with 1 other girl or woman who you think would feel inspired listening to this. And also share it with a male or non-binary coach or practitioner as it's really important these discussions reach everyone in our communities. Thanks so much for supporting, listening and sharing. We really appreciate it. That’s it from us for now, see you next week!
