This week I'm so excited to be joined by one of the cohosts of my favorite podcast, Joy Parrish! Joy is a cohost of This is Joy and Claire, a licensed professional mental health counselor, and a puppy raiser. When I first discovered Joy and Claire (formerly the Girls Gone WOD podcast), Joy was REALLY into Crossfit and fitness (she's run 4 marathons!). Through the years, her relationship with fitness has changed a lot, and that's exactly what we chat about today.

We dive into:

Her mindset around exercise and diet in college

The influence of societal messaging on her journey

How Graves' disease changed everything

Revamping with way she looked at exercise

Motivation for working out in 20s/30s (aesthetic) vs now

Identity wrapped up in fitness

How social media affected her relationship with exercise

Initial thoughts on Threads

Joy’s favorite hair products

What movement brings her joy now

and so much more.
