You Think You Know but You Have NO Idea--Travel, Training, and Typhoid Fever with Holly Myers

Tough Cookie Talks

This week I'm talking Holly Myers--for the THIRD time. If you're on Instagram, you might know her as the barbell pistol squatting queen, and half of the strength coaching duo ⁠⁠@liftwithhollyandarryn⁠⁠. Our first episode together, "Balancing Strength, Softness, and Silliness" and "When You're a Badass but You're Tired: The Conversation We Almost Cancelled" were two of my most downloaded ever, and today she's back!

Holly is an artist, mover, & mentor. She is a neurodivergent, multiracial, 2nd-generation Filipino immigrant with BIG FEELINGS and an enthusiastic seeker of growth & healing. Aside from heavy kettlebell ballistics, she enjoys making doggy friends, writing, photographing on film, and being a genuinely curious person. She is notably obsessed with pastries and used to make ice cream for a living (for real). The practice of becoming stronger has empowered her to keep questioning her limits and, in turn, the narrow societal limitations imposed upon us all. Her movement practice helps her show up more authentically every day. Witnessing others' expansion moves her deeply.

On this episode we talk about:

• The truth about Holly's (almost) year as a digital nomad.
• Her experience getting super sick overseas.
• Why what you see online is NOT the whole story.
• How neither of our businesses are doing better than yours.
• Why being internet famous doesn't make you better than anyone else.
• Getting back into training when you're recovering from major illness.
• How travel changed her approach to her own workouts.
• Aging and feeling like a child all at once.
• So much other fun and random stuff.
