MORE ABOUT ME

Welcome to my digital den! Here, I dish out raw, uncut tales and nuggets of wisdom on how to embrace consistency, inner healing, and an unshakable mindset - all in the name of genuine, lasting transformation. And did I mention? I'm pretty much a CrossFit chatterbox!

I'm Athena Perez

hey there!

 
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE…

  • There wasn’t the proverbial ah-ha moment for Jason, but the truth of it was that he just got tired of being tired. Most people don’t understand how exhausting being morbidly obese is.
  • The weight loss journey started with YouTube videos. It then progressed to gaining the courage to join a gym, hire a personal trainer, and then he found CrossFit.
  • The Fittest On Earth documentaries inspired Jason and his wife to make changes. Netflix!!
  • There are 37 different divisions at Wadapalooza if you can believe that……but THIS year………………, they did something different. There’s a brand-new division just for beginners.
  • Competition showed him that he could do more than he ever thought possible.

 

 

SOME QUESTIONS I ASK JASON…

  1. What did your life look and feel like before your health transformation?
  1. At what point into CrossFit did you start thinking about competition? When did it go from “just getting healthy” to…… hey, I really have a passion for becoming a better athlete?
  1. What are three of your biggest takeaways from being able to compete?

I'm Athena Perez

Since 2011, I've been on a mission to rewire my own self-limiting beliefs and patterns that were holding me back because I believe an unshakable mindset can be our #1 life hack.


In these parts I not only share my own journey but also lend a hand to others to create a life filled with genuine resilience, purpose, and grit. I'm a big fan of a good cup of joe, chalk, and teaching folks like you how to 'lift the wait'. Let’s get weird. 


so glad you're here
