This episode of the podcast was an absolute DELIGHT. Taylor stopped by before heading off on her adventure from ATX for San Diego. We speak about relationships, our personal fitness journeys and our perspectives on delivering exceptional coaching whilst navigating brand building in the social media landscape. It is so refreshing to have such candid/unfiltered conversation.   Follow Taylor Dayne HERE: https://www.instagram.com/tdl_does_life/ Follow Claire HERE: https://www.instagram.com/clairebays/

What started as a seemingly harmless way to medicate the pain from his kickboxing training... slowly became a real problem. Tyson moved to Austin TX, got involved in new community and parted ways with substances. He recently celebrated one year sober -- so we sat down to talk through what it's been like. Today he is the Head Coach at Archetype Boxing in ATX (a stunning facility that is open to the public running boxing classes daily). Thank you to Tyson for choosing to share. This message is powerful and all too relatable.   Follow/Contact Tyson HERE: https://www.instagram.com/mendeas_ty/ Check out Archetype Boxing HERE: https://www.instagram.com/archetypeboxingclub/ Follow/Contact Claire HERE: https://www.instagram.com/clairebays/ Sign up for Claire's programming + coaching HERE: https://www.clairebayscoach.com

Chloe is a Pan American, Brazilian National, No Gi World Champion and No Gi European Champion. She is training and coaching at Renzo Gracie in Austin, TX. We learn about her childhood growing up with horses and the traumatic accident she experienced with her horse that led her to pursue different goals. She fell in love with Jiu Jitsu while living in New York and has pursued that journey all the way to Austin, TX where she trains now. She tells the story of her gnarly neck injury and the road of recovery from that while continuing to coach & grow. She is thriving in training today and continuing her pursuits with passion and resilience.   Follow Chloe HERE: https://www.instagram.com/chloemmcnally?igsh=dnJ1Ym1pcWQ2Z3Ji   Follow Claire HERE: https://www.instagram.com/clairebays?igsh=cDEzZ3VvdGcxZ2xj&utm_source=qr   Check out Claire's workout programming & nutrition coaching HERE: https://www.clairebayscoach.com

Jennifer Keddy is a literal comedy show. We dive in to Jenn's journey as a professional volleyball player, to her sudden cancer diagnosis and the turn her life took at that time. She advocated for herself and discovered things such as the healing she found through electrolyzed reduced water (she'll explain in episode). Today she is a 6 figure sales coach and in her words "stay highdrated".

In this episode we learn more about the Ryan Wekenman, author of Single Today. Writing a book about singleness is a pretty uncommon thing to do. I've had the opportunity to get to know Ryan through Red Rocks ATX for the past nearly two years and find his perspective refreshing and uplifting... so why not have a sit down chat about his latest endeavor: Single Today. The book is a delightful read (regardless of relationship status) and has much that we can all benefit from. From forgiving our yesterday, to not getting too caught up in the tomorrow trap, to cultivating presence today.   Get your copy HERE.   Sign Up/Apply for Claire's Coaching HERE.

Mike Gonzales is the drummer for Kill Tony Band. He has played with Keith Urban, Gary Clark Jr, The Peterson Bro's, Gina Chavez, Charley Crockett and many more. In this episode we learn that Mike got what many would call a "late start". He pursues his passion with unparalleled work ethic (we get in to the details of what that looks like). He tells many rad stories and is one of the hardest workers in every room -- who does so with humility. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about Mike. His journey will continue to be one to want to support and stay tuned in to.   Follow Mike on Instagram HERE: https://www.instagram.com/mikeagonz13?igsh=dnZ0Y3M1aHg3OWN6 Follow Claire on Instagram HERE: https://www.instagram.com/clairebays?igsh=cDEzZ3VvdGcxZ2xj&utm_source=qr Check out Claire's Coaching HERE: https://www.clairebayscoach.com

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.   Check out Claire's Coaching HERE.

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.   Madi's Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/taskett?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Claire's Website: www.clairebayscoach.com Claire's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clairebays/
