Episode 100: Celebrating our 100th Episode and Sharing What’s Next For the SQUAD

In this episode of Life After Cheer, I talk with Colyn Fiendel, the athletic trainer, coach, and program director for Cheer New York – a non-profit organization comprised solely of all-volunteer LGBTQ+ and ally cheerleaders. Colyn and I talk about what to do when things don’t go according to plan, and just how to let go and move on.

Here are some tidbits I think you might want to remind yourself of:

  1. [16:41] You are surrounded by people who are motivating you and lifting you up and giving you the confidence to become the best version of yourself
  2. [22:18] Be in the moment, instead of just constantly thinking about what you can do better or what you can do more of.
  3. [36:44] You have to take the highs and the lows and that’s going to teach you and help you be where you’re supposed to be, so you’ve got to take that path and journey.

Fitness and Nutrition Tips for the New Year (Episode 37)

Episode 37: Fitness and Nutrition Tips for the New Year

In this episode of Life After Cheer, I talk with Ashley Steinberger. She’s been a past guest on the podcast as well as a registered dietician +  founder of The Cheer Nutritionist! Together, we talk about fitness and nutrition tips right for the new year!

In this episode, Ashley and I discuss topics such as:

  1. [03:38] The biggest thing we need to remember with our new year’s resolutions is that everyone goes hard when it comes to them – they make up this plan, they’re going to do all of these things, but it rarely ends up being sustainable.
  2. [21:35] You are yourself, and the only person who should be evaluating your body and how you feel is you; you should be doing it for yourself
  3. [30:41] Sometimes you just have to remember that you need to listen to your body, but when you work out it really doesn’t have to be an hour workout – even just a little bit can be enough.

Episode 36: Why New Year’s Resolutions Don’t Work + What to Do Instead

Happy 2023, everyone! 

For the first episode of Life After Cheer of the new year, I take on yet another solo episode! I talk about why people’s resolutions for the New Year don’t work and what you can do instead of these, honestly, unattainable goals

In this episode, I mention tips such as:

  1. [02:17] Why wait until January to make a new year? This is something you can and should check in on every single day
  2. [09:53] Sometimes slowing down is even more critical,and productive because it gives you the reset you need to be focused and motivated
  3. [12:33] Don’t overthink things! Sometimes, you need to go for it and learn along the way

Crushing the Stereotypes of Being a Cheerleader with Pro Cheerleader and Sports Anchor, Bridget Case (Episode 35)

Episode 35: Crushing the Sterotypes of Being a Cheerleader with Pro Cheerleader and Sports Anchor, Bridget Case

In this week’s episode of Life After Cheer, I talk with Bridget Case! Bridget is a sports journalist turned Twitch streamer who uses her platform to advocate for mental health. She’s a former pro cheerleader for the NFL and the sports anchor for NBC and CBS station affiliates. Today, we crush those cheerleader stereotypes!

Tune in for quite the conversation!

In this episode, we talk about the following:

  1. [05:38] We’re so much more than the cheerleader, so much more than the professional dancer; there are so many more layers to us as human beings.
  2. [23:31] When you’re trying to get a job, be yourself – say what you want to say, don’t say things that you think others want to hear.
  3. [31:41] Sometimes, when you are so focused on creating that niche, you can lose who you are, and your passion for what you are doing; more people need to say, “screw the niche. I will be me, “and that’s what you’re coming for.
