Controlling your Mind to Physically Thrive

In this Episode we have our first big time special guest, 2 x Team USA Powerlifter, 1x National Champion, Arielle Patras. I met her in the Cayman Islands during the 2025 NAPF competition, we quickly bonded over the mutual love for rapper, NF's music. We discuss her lifting career and current training along with what's next for her. We also discuss mindset mentality when it comes to Powerlifting especially and how controlling your mind correlates to physically thriving. In a fun matter, we relate NF's music to that shift in mentality, and since it is pride month (recorded in June) as well, shoutout to the LGBTQ+ community and having representation within the sport. Having diverse figures within the community is very important and it does impact people! Also, Happy 4th of July!
