In this very special Happy Birthday Podcast episode I reflect back on this first year of hosting a podcast. Starting in November 2020, the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast was created to spread my message of fueling optimally to maximize our potential as female athletes. My hope was to reach a wider audience, beyond the clients I work with at Rise Up Nutrition, and share my knowledge around to empower females to be fierce, fit and fueled. In this episode, I touch on the fears that held me back from recording a podcast sooner, the feelings of imposter syndrome around sharing information other people have already said before. My motivation to push past these fears has always been to reach someone, somewhere, who hasn’t already heard this message. I share my struggle with self-criticism, and hearing myself talk regularly on a podcast has brought its own challenges, such as inviting on great guests, preparing for episodes and asking the “right” questions, alongside my full-time work at Rise Up Nutrition. I touch on some of the amazing guests featured on the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast: Olympians like Terin Humphrey and Katie Nageotte, professional athletes and past clients of mine such as Mary Cain and Cali Schweikhart, esteemed experts Dr Emily Kraus and Nancy Clark, friends, family, colleagues at Rise Up Nutrition and more. The amazing feedback I’ve received from you FANS, supporters of the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast, has kept this going! Because of you, and the following we’ve gained worldwide, this podcast celebrates its first birthday, the first of many to come. Together, I believe we can all embody my “F’s”: fierce, fit and fueled in all aspects of life. Join this movement as we embark on year 2!
