In Episode 2 of the Be Well Cartel podcast, we get to know Holly a bit better. British by origin, Holly spent years living in China, and started out with no fitness background at all! In this episode, you'll hear about her journey from working at art galleries in Beijing to opening and managing one of the biggest CrossFit gyms in China. Holly's story is fascinating- she suffered from social anxiety when she was younger and never imagined speaking in public, let alone coaching classes in TWO different languages. You'll hear more about how she got her start in the basement of a gym in Beijing, unable to lift a barbell over her head, to becoming a CrossFit coach, nutrition coach and Spartan race devotee. She shares with us stories of how she got started with Olympic weightlifting, why she had to put her lifting shoes in the oven, and the path that led her back to the UK after years of living in Asia. We also talk about how important it is as coaches to truly understand where your coachees are coming from, the benefits and disadvantages of working with athletes, and how fear is such a powerful reason to NOT change. Stay tuned for the next episode, where we round out the 'get to know you' episodes with Olivia's background and story!
