Episode 31 features Elisabeth Bradley, the co-founder and CEO of Girl Gains. Founded at San Diego State University in 2020 by students with a passion for fitness, Girl Gains is a growing organization that aims to promote female weight lifting and empower women. Girl Gains was created to provide women of all backgrounds and fitness levels with community, resources and confidence. Elisabeth graduated from SDSU in May 2021 with a degree in Biology on a pre-PA track. She started Girl Gains because she wanted to give every girl access to a support system during their fitness journey. Little did she know that being apart of such an uplifting group of women would push her to find her true potential both in and out of the weightroom. Girl Gains has now expanded to over 50 campuses and hosts events and programming for women of all ages! In today's episode, we share tips on how to build confidence at the gym. We discuss the common factors that cause women to feel intimidated of the weightroom and chat about how Girl Gains strives to offer a supportive and encouraging solution to this problem.

Episode 30 features Claire Sefkow, Casady Spencer & Ashley Chammas! We met through Girl Scouts in elementary school and have remained very close friends ever since. In today's episode, we put our friendship to the test ;) ... how well do we really know one another?!

The goal of this episode is share a unique way to strengthen your relationships with those around you. We asked each other questions from the We're Not Really Strangers card game and discussed our perceptions of one another / our thoughts on life. I thought this would be very fitting considering it’s February, a month all about showing love and appreciation for the different relationships we have and the different people in our lives.

Below are the three levels of WNRS cards. As the game progressed, we gradually asked deeper questions to empower meaningful connections with one another.

LEVEL 1 PERCEPTION:

We all make assumptions about each other but how often do we ever put them to the test? Level 1 allows you to see what first impression you give off and how well you read others.

LEVEL 2 CONNECTION

This level digs a bit deeper. 50 rarely asked questions, but warning emotions may arise..

LEVEL 3 REFLECTION

Time to reflect.

FINAL CARD

When’s the last time you received a handwritten note? Well here’s your chance. All players write a note to each other but only open once you have parted.



Also, in my Advanced Business class at my high school, my team is currently launching a tote bag company called Seascape Totes! Our mission is to provide both the "sustainable and stylish solution." We are selling canvas tote bags with an ocean-theme design. The artwork was created by a CCA conservatory student, and we plan to donate 5% of our proceeds to the Surfrider foundation, a charity that promotes plastic reduction and ocean protection.
