The Hyrox Race that taught me my entire worth isn't based off my aesthetic..

This one got vulnerable.

I'm sharing the full story of my first ever Hyrox, including the parts I was too embarrassed to tell anyone. 

The bladder leakage. The paramedics. The wheelchair parade of shame. And what happened when I pushed my body past its limit while running on fumes in a calorie deficit.

But this isn't just a race recap.

It's about the *69-84% of women who look in the mirror and feel dissatisfied. 

The limiting beliefs that creep in when you're trying to build muscle. The fear of judgment when you choose strength over staying small and why I made myself a promise after looking at old photos from high school.

In this episode:

• What actually happened during my first Hyrox (and why I needed paramedic attention)
• The moment at 11 years old when I first compared my body to someone else's
• Why most people stay in a deficit forever (and what it costs them)
• The difference between training like a superhero vs looking like one
• How to challenge the limiting beliefs that come up during a gain phase
• The gratitude practice that shifted everything for me
• Why your worth isn't determined by whether you have abs

If you've ever felt stuck between wanting to perform at your best and wanting to look a certain way? Then this one's for you.

Your body is doing so much more for you than you realise.
