    Joshua Gibson & Max Aita: Evolving the Coaching Landscape in Weightlifting

    Welcome back Weirdos to another episode of the podcast! This is another episode for my fellow Weightlifting Nerds out there with a guest double feature of Joshua Gibson and Max Aita. Join us as we explore the needs for evolving the current landscape of understanding in Weightlifting for both lifters and coaches. How we can continue to be curious to challenge our assumptions and collaborate with the latest science to continually improve our lifts/lifters.  Both Joshua and Max are known for their contributions into the sport between their many podcast appearances over the years, their own podcasts, their own coaching, software, and now with their new mentorship: Coachlogik. I've been so impressed by the level of thought and years of experience they both bring to this podcast and many others that this mentorship group has become a much-needed lighthouse for coaches (myself included). Enjoy the episode, and stay weird out there folks!  Join the Coachlogik Mentorship  Connect with Joshua: Instagram: @josh_philwl Website: Philosophical Weightlifting  Connect with Max: Instagram: @max_aita | @teamaita | @weightlifting.ai Facebook: Team Aita Website: Team Aita | Weightlifting.Ai

    Beth Ann | Embracing the Journey to Self-Love

    You know, we all carry stories of not fitting in or feeling like we belong on the outskirts. We wrestle with connection and often feel like we're on an island in a sea of people. My journey, as you've heard on this podcast before, led me to uncover a connection that was missing with myself. Today's discussion dovetails into this theme gracefully. Joining me is the incredible Beth Ann, a self-love coach and Reiki master. From struggling with drugs and alcohol to seeking community in all the wrong places, her journey of self-discovery is nothing short of inspiring. Beth Ann speaks candidly about overcoming feelings of shame and guilt, the challenges of starting anew as an entrepreneur, and how she transformed her approach to finding delight in everyday life. We'll get into the meat of reframing narratives, the importance of self-validation, and the power of standing in one's own weirdness and strength. And if that's not enticing enough, Beth Ann also shares her upcoming offerings designed to empower women through somatic techniques and a whole lot more.
