Today's episode talks about why coaches, therapists, and helpers are often the ones holding space, offering guidance, and supporting others through growth, healing, and transformation. But who supports them?

In this episode, we explore why even the most knowledgeable, self-aware professionals still need coaches, mentors, and therapists of their own.

You’ll learn why seeking support is not a weakness—but a powerful act of self-leadership, regulation, and sustainability.

Whether you’re a coach, therapist, trainer, or caregiver, this conversation is a reminder that growth is not meant to be done alone, and that being supported makes you better at supporting others.

Because even the guides need guidance—and even the healers deserve healing.

Jen and Alana break down a talk Alana gave at the NSCA Mid-Atlantic Conference for certified strength and conditioning coaches. The talk was called: The Female Athlete – What I Wish I Knew.

We discuss what actually matters when coaching women—periods, hormones, strength training, and how the fitness industry got here. We unpack outdated narratives, common mistakes, and the things Alana wishes she’d known earlier, as both a coach and an athlete.

This episode is for coaches, athletes, and anyone who wants to better understand women in strength and sport.
