Listen "Episode 302: Lessons from 300 Episodes"
Episode Synopsis
In this special episode, I share eight valuable lessons learned from producing 300 episodes of the WS pod. We'll explore the importance of repetition, practice, generosity, and self-reflection, and discuss how these lessons can be applied to your health and fitness journey and life.
Key Topics Covered:
1. The Power of Repetition:
Importance of putting in the work and reps.
The evolution from early episodes to finding my voice around episode 200.
The concept of needing years, not just weeks or months, to master a skill
2. Building Powerful Relationships:
How the podcast has helped me build meaningful connections in the health and fitness industry.
The value of relationships with inspiring women and experts who have contributed to the podcast.
3. Moving Away from Self-Absorption:
The impact of self-absorption on our ability to be generous.
Balancing self-absorption with generosity and seeking feedback.
4. Seeking Feedback, Not Just Recognition:
The importance of looking for constructive feedback over seeking constant praise.
The role of energy levels in how we perceive and seek feedback.
5. The Body of Work is the Point:
Emphasising the value of the practice, process, and body of work.
How focusing on the journey, rather than the outcome, leads to growth and success.
6. Thinking Better, Not Bigger:
The significance of aiming for better quality rather than just bigger results.
Applying this mindset to training and other aspects of life.
7. Creating Passion and Desire for Your Work:
The necessity of cultivating passion and desire in what you do.
Strategies for maintaining motivation and creativity in long-term projects.
8. Balancing Selfishness and Generosity:
