Our Guest
Joy Parrish is the co-host of Girls Gone WOD Podcast.
She got into the world of podcasting to talk about her passion for crossfit and the crossfit community. She loves running, CrossFit, yoga, food, fashion, music, podcasts, and listening to audio books.
Joy is also a licensed professional mental health manager and has been a fitness instructor for 13 years.
Joy believes life is meant to be fun, happy, and joyful and we can hear her express just that in her episode today.
The Episode
Do you have compassion fatigue?
Are you looking to get past what’s holding you back and become the best version of yourself?
Are you a mindful scroller?
Joy and I talk about her journey creating a massively successful podcast. We also talk therapy, Crossfit, issues facing modern day society, and everything in between. I ask her questions about what it’s like to be a therapist and in this very casual conversation between friends, she drops some amazing pieces of advice on mindfulness and listening to yourself.
I do my best in this episode to understand competition and weight training from a female perspective and talk about the importance about having someone to talk to.
The Girls Gone WOD podcast is a great resource for people to understand they aren’t alone out there and as you can tell from this episode, it’s always a fun listen.
(P.S. Did you know Girls Gone WOD has a sold out trip to Iceland with Custom Experiences?!)
