    Why Strong Women Stay Steady Under Pressure | Episode 153

    Why do so many women feel emotionally overwhelmed — even when they’re doing “everything right”? In this episode of the Slay Podcast, Louise Hazel breaks down a truth most women have never been taught: emotional instability is rarely a mindset problem. It’s a physiology and capacity problem. You’re not too emotional. You’re not unstable. And you’re not broken. Emotions are biological signals — messages from the nervous system about load, safety, and capacity. When emotions feel loud, fast, or overwhelming, it’s often because the system has been under strain for too long without enough support. In Episode 153, you’ll learn: Why emotions are signals, not personal failures How modern stress quietly overloads the female nervous system The role of strength training in improving emotional regulation Why getting stronger helps women stay calmer under pressure How to tell the difference between responding from strength vs. strain Why emotions are feedback — not instructions This episode explains why emotional steadiness is not a personality trait — it’s a trainable outcome. And it sets the foundation for what comes next: how emotional regulation creates the conditions for strong decision-making. 🎧 Listen now — and start building the capacity to stay steady, even when life gets heavy. 🎧 LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/35UovsfJZfat5xU6r6i55b?si=a54a6454c06445c4&nd=1Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/slay/id1393889958Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX5I8e0HAZxB-SEvp4oLCCA 📩 JOIN THE COMMUNITY Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@slayathletic/?sub_confirmation=1 Shop www.slayathletic.com Slay Newsletter: https://view.flodesk.com/emails/6907a431cef52dfcb87b55f9 ✨ IF THIS EPISODE SPOKE TO YOU…Share it with another woman who deserves to rise in 2026.Please like, comment, and subscribe — it helps this community of strong women grow.

    The Confidence Equation: Strength → Identity → Power | Episode 152

    Confidence isn’t something you think your way into. It’s something that’s built — through evidence, through structure, and through strength. In Episode 152 of the Slay Podcast, Olympian and Slay CEO Louise Hazel breaks down why confidence has been misunderstood for decades, and why it’s not a mindset, a personality trait, or something you summon on demand. This episode introduces the Confidence Equation — Strength → Identity → Power — and explains how physical strength reshapes self-trust, emotional stability, and decision-making at a biological level. You’ll learn why affirmations fail without evidence, how strength sends powerful signals to the nervous system, and why confidence becomes reliable when it’s rooted in lived experience. This conversation is part of Your Strongest Year Yet — a Q1 identity series designed to prepare women for lasting transformation. Not through pressure. Not through hype. But through systems that change who you believe yourself to be. Save it. Revisit it. Share it with a woman who thinks confidence is something she’s missing — when it’s something she can build.

    Why Most Women Never Get Results — Until They Do This | Episode 151

    Most women don’t struggle with results because they lack discipline, motivation, or effort. They struggle because they were never given the structure required to create real change. In this episode of the Slay Podcast, Olympian and Slay CEO Louise Hazel explains the missing link that keeps women stuck in the cycle of starting over every January — and why everything shifts when training stops being about workouts and starts becoming intentional programming. This conversation breaks down why effort without direction leads to burnout, how clarity creates consistency, and why strength becomes sustainable the moment identity, structure, and progression align. Episode 151 is part of Your Strongest Year Yet — a season designed to prepare you for real, lasting transformation. Not through pressure. Not through punishment. But through systems that support the woman you’re becoming. Save it. Revisit it. Share it with a woman who keeps trying harder when what she really needs is a better map.
