📝 Episode Summary:
Not every training day feels like a win—and that’s okay.
In this honest, heart-on-sleeve episode, Kate and Katie dive into the complex relationship between training, mental health, and joy.
They unpack what happens when the thing that used to help you starts to hurt, and how to recognise when pressure, burnout, or perfectionism start creeping in. This is about keeping it real, reclaiming fun, and expanding your toolbox beyond “just push through.”
