Coaching & Cocktails
Don't get weird, use your head, everything will be OK.
Welcome to Coaching & Cocktails, where Team CSFP coaches Tina and Ginny talk about life, health, fitness, natural bodybuilding, and all the beautifully messy stuff in between. With decades of combined experience helping athletes and everyday humans chase their strongest, sanest selves, we dive into training, nutrition, mindset, hormones, stress, and the mental gymnastics required to juggle real life while pursuing big goals.
We’re not here to lecture. We’re here to tell the truth, share our lived experience, and sprinkle in some humor, realism, and science—shaken, not stirred.
If you want a podcast that feels like coaching, therapy, and girl talk had a baby (and that baby lifted weights), pull up a chair. Laugh with us, learn something new, and remember: you’re absolutely not alone on your journey.
