The EMPWR Podcast Big Life Update: It’s Not a Proposal… Yet
Big news… we’re doing an IRONMAN! Today, we’re diving headfirst into the full behind-the-scenes of how we’re balancing training with parenting and work, how Sam’s feeling with more carbs and calories, her current supplement lineup, our game plan for sleep and recovery, and the fears (and excitement) that come with tackling something this big.
We also get into some of your questions: current macros, thoughts on alcohol, moderation when it comes to treats, gamechangers for a strong core and abs, favorite long run listens, go-to non-toxic makeup and home products, and so much more. If you’re curious about endurance training, love a peek behind the curtain, or just want some honest convo about big goals and real life… you’ll love this one!
