Overtraining and Burnout with Ben Willis

Burnout. Who hasn't been there? Today I sit down for a conversation about overtraining with Ben Willis. Ben was a professional soccer player in the USL Championship within the Houston Dynamo organization. He went on to become the assistant goalkeeper coach and strength and conditioning coach at Rio Grande Valley FC. Ben is an ACSM Certified-Exercise Physiologist and Certified Inclusive Fitness Training, with a speciality in working with individuals with disabilities, and has his B.A. in Kinesiology from Gonzaga University.
Ben and I talk about our experiences with burnout and how we overcome it. We will help you identify the signs of overtraining and give you tips for coming back to fitness, perhaps in a different way than before. And importantly, we normalize it as part of the game of fitness. It is nothing to be ashamed of or beat yourself up over. Just like other life challenges, you can embrace the challenge and pass through it.

Being Older Moms with Maria Marsans

Listen to a great conversation about being an older mom. Maria is so inspiring to listen to because of her journey to become a mom at 50. The process is a true miracle, and happily for Maria and her family, all the pieces fell into place to make it happen.
We talk about her journey, her career as a physician assistant in neurosurgery specializing in deep brain stimulation. We discuss the management of her own health, as well as work-life balance and making fitness a priority. And everything in-between that made it possible. We also reflect on the loved ones we have lost and preserving our language and traditions as we raise our children.
