Ep. 69: Turn Pain in to Purpose with Rachell Hague
Rachell Hague is Co-Founder & CEO of KonnectHer -- A Community for Female Entrepreneurs. She is a martial artist, podcast host, speaker and mentor... all at the age of 24! Rachell grew up caring for her sister who passed away in 2020. We talk about the grief she walked through at age 20 and how she transformed the pain in to the purpose driven entrepreneurial endeavors she has excelled with today. We also talk about her passion for martial arts, and an honest account of both of our struggles with cultivating friendships with women and what we have learned to create more of that.

Ep. 68: Recovering from Addiction with Danielle Cobb
In today's episode a dear friend of mine shares her story. From growing up with access to drugs and alcohol to being addicted to meth in her early 20's... then in to recovery. Danielle Cobb IS what recovery looks like to me. This woman inspires me and walks the walk of a person who "has that light" and shares it without expectations.
We talk about healing through our recovery... from the painful parts of the first year to the healing we've experienced relationally and so much more. Danielle carries a disposition of serenity and peace that we likely all crave more of... so let's hear it directly from her.

Ep. 67: A Complete Beginners Guide to Fitness with Coach Claire Bays
Can you define health? I've been asking a lot of fitness professionals this question. We desire better health, yet it isn't easy to define -- even for the pro's. So where do YOU begin?
I don't believe I have a perfected answer to that. I do have over a decade of insatiable curiosity, an alphabet soup of certifications and hundreds of clients over that time achieving lasting results. This is a candid attempt to distill my experience and evolving education in to actionable info.
Topics include: How to find a personal trainer/fitness coach, what it's realistically like to begin a resistance training program (at any age), common pitfalls along your fitness journey (trying to emulate fitfluencer workouts, diet hurdles and more).
NOTE: I am aware that throughout this episode I am pushing for us to grow. I want us all to be our own best advocate. I cannot wait to continue to watch the field of health grow and expand and evolve. I hope you'll choose to continue to trudge what is, in my opinion, a worthwhile journey to prioritize your health. You're worth it.
Episode Co-Hosted by Madi Taskett.
A special thank you to Madi for choosing to host this episode in hopes of sharing useful perspective and support her trainer and now dear friend. You're a legend.

Well done
I’ve been a follower of AG for a while, so I came here for that episode. The silent beginning and the random clip at the end of that episode was a little awkward, but otherwise—fabulous job! I know not much can be done once you upload lol
Refreshing conversation
I just found Claire’s podcast this week after seeing her at a CrossFit event. Her energy in personal is just as contagious and genuine as it is on this podcast. It was refreshing to hear some encouraging and genuine conversations with each guests she has on her show. Looking forward to continuing to listen and be encourage by positive outlook on even the most challenging things!
Great show!
Amazing show filled with nuggets of wisdom
