Not the time to be depleted.The Green Door Life: nutrition for athletic performanceJoin me as I recount the trials of an extreme bodybuilder's diet I once adopted in the pursuit of visual perfection for a performance. The resulting dehydration wasn't just scary - it nearly sabotaged the show. Note to self- the objective for a bodybuilder is. not. the. objective. for a high-yield athletic aerial act. Seems obvious in retrospect, I was blind to it in the moment.Don't try this at home. Seriously don't.Don't go back to sleep.xoRachelFind me on InstagramSupport this podcast on Patreon
Instagram post and heartfelt answers from readersIn episode 47 of Audacity Works, we're going to challenge the status quo, examining the loaded implications and the undeserved hierarchy the labels of "professional" and "amateur" have built in our world. Let's shed light on why these labels are less stigmatizing in sectors like sports, and come to our own conclusions. I also wanna take a second to decouple 'professional' from its accrued connotations of moral superiority, technical skill, and commitment. I'd also like to celebrate the amateur artist, hobbyist and the recreational artist, acknowledging their immense contribution to the arts spectrum. This episode is an invitation for us to redefine these labels autonomously, eroding their oppressive power and recognizing the inherent value in all forms of artistic expression.
