Hurdle with Emily Abbate

When it comes to being a multi-hyphenate, Emma Lovewell loves the diverse aspects of her life today as a fitness instructor, author, and speaker (to name a few). In today's episode, she discusses how she never had an in-house job until she landed her gig at Peloton and what it felt like to find that sort of stability. The new author of Live, Learn, Love Well also talks about life before the bike — working different opportunities in the dance, modeling, and fitness world to make ends meet, and the specific email that changed everything. Plus: What she sees when she looks in the mirror today, her morning routine tips to kick off the day right, and what she's most looking forward to now that the book tour is winding down.

Leading into my next marathon training block, I decided it was smart to do a blood test via InsideTracker. As a result, I asked Michelle Darian, RD and Marketing Manager for Science and Product at InsideTracker on the show. This is so much bigger than interpreting ~my~ results, though. For this episode, we focus on understanding what inflammation is, why we want some (but not a lot), and how to reduce or lessen it in a safe way via both environmental and dietary shifts. Plus: Why we need to be cognizant about what's going on in our bodies, how iron and ferritin can impact women — especially within exercise, and more.

Ajla Tomljanović knows the hardships of injury all-too-well. For this week's episode, I sit down with one of the best tennis players of her time to chat about the highs and lows of taking time off, and how it feels for her to take a back seat after a runaway year in 2022 defeating legend Serena Williams in her final match at the U.S. Open. She shares a lot about her mentality on and off the court, plus how it feels to have so many eyes on her as a rising star. Plus: How she knows when the "right" time will be to get back into the game after a nagging knee injury, and why she adores training with Omorpho's weighted gear.

For episode 256, LaChina talks about her experience with depression, offers up her advice for anyone navigating an unexpected pivot, and shares what it's like to be recognized for her efforts as a Black sports broadcaster.
