Hey Preslie Podcast

I'm thrilled to welcome Lindsey Locke (@lindseytaylorlocke) to the show! She's the host of the Get Psyched podcast, an associate therapist, a CrossFit coach and a guiding light of wisdom when it comes to mindfulness, working through trauma and becoming better versions of ourselves.

In this conversation we discuss:

• How fitness can help someone work through trauma
• What to be cautious of when consuming mental health content on social media
• An intro to 'parts work'
• How to find a therapist you click with
• Why you should implement 'habit stacking' in your life
• Reframing boundaries as an act of love, versus an attempt to keep someone out
• What to do if you get a mental health diagnosis you don't agree with or are curious about
• and more!

In this conversation with 5x CrossFit Games athlete Bethany Shadburne (@bethanycf), we talk about a lot more than the sport of CrossFit. She's big into personal development and working on her mindset and we dive into that, among other things, in this episode. It's a good one! 

In this conversation we discuss:

• How to separate your identity from what you do for work, as an athlete, etc. 
• Bethany's thoughts on young women coming up in the sport 
• How she works through body image issues and struggling to not over-train 
• What motivates her to complete and how her motivation/fuel has changed over time 
• Things that have helped her and her fiancé throughout their long distance relationship
• The power of self-talk and positive affirmations 
• and more!
