In this conversation with 5x CrossFit Games athlete Bethany Shadburne (@bethanycf), we talk about a lot more than the sport of CrossFit. She's big into personal development and working on her mindset and we dive into that, among other things, in this episode. It's a good one!
In this conversation we discuss:
- How to separate your identity from what you do for work, as an athlete, etc.
- Bethany's thoughts on young women coming up in the sport
- How she works through body image issues and struggling to not over-train
- What motivates her to complete and how her motivation/fuel has changed over time
- Things that have helped her and her fiancé throughout their long distance relationship
- The power of self-talk and positive affirmations
- and more!
