Description
Chi Pham wants you to know that you can fuel your body for success as an outdoor athlete, and it doesn't have to fit in the little boxes you see on social media. Because being focused on health and wellness doesn't mean there's just one way to live your life, Chi is committed to showing up, keeping it real, and encouraging other women to be themselves above all else.In this episode, we talk about how Chi took her training outdoors, how she slowly started fueling her body to help achieve her goals (rather than feeding into toxic diet culture), and the power Instagram can have on what we think 'fit' looks like.Featured in this episode: Chi PhamHosted by Gale StraubSponsored by Smartwool, Nature Gnaws, and RitualJoin the She Explores Podcast community on FacebookVisit She-Explores.comIn this episode, you'll hear:When Chi started identifying as an athlete, and when she took her athleticism outdoorsWhat Chi enjoys most about a triathlon (hint, she likes a challenge!)Why she loves trail runningHow a bike accident helped put her physical insecurities in perspectiveWhen Chi realized her restrictive eating was taking a toll on her trainingThe power Instagram can have over what we think is healthy and what fit looks likeWhy Chi is frustrated by the sameness of her EXPLORE feed on InstagramWhy Chi is happy not to weigh herself anymoreAbout her forthcoming trip to Vietnam to spend time with family and rediscover her rootsResourcesChi Pham: Instagram & BlogVacation RacesShe Explores Landing PageSponsors and Discount CodesSmartwool: Learn more at Smartwool.comNature Gnaws: Sign up for their Gnaw Box subscription service and get your first month for $1 by using code "SHEEXPLORES" at checkout.
