Yap & Chat aka Everything You Didn't Ask For with Coach Erin & Mich

April 02, 2025

In this playful and real-time “yap and chat,” Michaela and Erin reunite post-retreat to catch up on everything from mini mics and mid-hike bathroom emergencies to off-season gains and bold new biz moves. Erin shares updates on training for a DekaFit event (yes, we said DekaFit), while Michaela dives into her shorter 15-week marathon training cycle for Grandma’s. The two also open up about how they're growing Strides for Strength as a business and coaching team, how strength training is translating to real results, and what’s coming up — including their Denver retreat and the Stronger Strides Challenge. It’s raw, insightful, and wildly entertaining.
