Ep 44 - If You Have a Body, You are an Athlete - Jessie Gubbins

Meet Jessie Gubbins, a dynamic force in the realm of fitness and coaching. Her journey from a dedicated management consultant, traveling the world and working endless hours to her current role as a fitness advocate is nothing short of inspiring. Jess treats everyone she coaches as an athlete because she believes if you have a body, you are an athlete. She wants us all to feel great about our bodies. Not only how it looks, but also what it can do. Whether it's carrying your groceries inside from the car in one trip, playing hide and seek with the kids, gardening without throwing out your back, or being able to stand up from the toilet unassisted when you're 95. The one thing that unites us as humans is that we have to live in our bodies. So why wouldn't we want to make that body as capable and as athletic as possible? Jess's infectious warmth permeates everything she does, be it strolling with her sausage dogs (or wieners for my American audience) or sharing the highs and lows of life on social media. She's always been open about her struggles with mental health and sobriety, and I loved talking to her about how to tackle the days when things don't go as planned, and how to navigate the challenges that life throws us. Her enthusiasm for life shines through in our conversation and you can feel her contagious energy. Whether you've encountered her in person or are tuning into this podcast, get ready for a discussion full of authenticity, optimism, and practical advice. I hope you enjoy it.
