On today’s episode, I’m joined by Elly Naecker to discuss finding purpose in fitness, and the deep, meaningful “why” that lies beneath the surface. Elly is a CrossFit Coach and athlete at the gym I work and train inside of, and since meeting her nearly a year ago we have quickly become close friends. In this conversation, you’ll hear Elly dive into the start of her fitness journey, how her fitness and faith in Christ support one another, and some of the biggest mindset shifts we’ve experienced throughout our respective journeys. Elly inspires me in so many avenues of life and this raw and honest conversation reminded us both of the greater purpose we have as athletes, and as humans. If you’re feeling stuck, or unexcited about your health and wellness, this conversation is re-ignite your spark. Enjoy this one with my girl, Elly Naecker.
