#324 Rachel Henley - Tough Conversations And Setting Boundaries

Rachel Henley has cracked the code on creating evidence based and practical training content and scaling a massive audience. 

We talk about:

-Dealing with unwelcome comments from loved ones, shame triggers, and having tough conversations around this

-The “silly shit” Rachel used to do before finding evidence based fitness and nutrition

-Dealing with comments and beliefs about “ideal bodies”

-Our mission to focus on getting more everyday people into the gym and access to fitness instead of arguing over technical training minutiae

-How to tell who’s a real coach and who’s an entertainer masquerading as a coach. 

And much more

This episode is among the earliest in a significant shift in discussion topics and theme for this podcast going forward. I still believe there’s a goldmine here for coaches, but this is now intended to be a valuable resource to the end users, the enthusiasts, and even the beginners who need our help navigating the often confusing and conflicting world of fitness and nutrition. If you find this valuable, please share it with a friend who needs it. Thank you.
