In this special throwback edition of Mom Crush Monday, we're revisiting the very first episode of the series, featuring Kendra McGuire, CrossFit Coach at Guerrilla Fitness in Paramus, New Jersey. Recorded in June 2023, this episode was a deep dive into Kendra's journey as a mom, athlete, and business owner. As Kendra has been huge role model for me in my own involvement in CrossFit and as a fellow mother of 2 tweens, I was thrilled to chat with Kendra about her own experiences. You can catch the entire episode here!
While you'll hear us talk about CrossFit the Rack in Allendale during our episode, as of this blog posting, Kendra has since left and has begun coaching at Guerilla Fitness is Paramus, NJ.
We kicked off our conversation with a discussion about self-care - what it looks like for her, how she makes time for it and what advice she'd give to other moms struggling to find time for themselves. No surprise, Kendra shared how CrossFit workouts have been a vital tool for her self-care. She also emphasized the importance of releasing perfectionism in all things and her mindset on how to strive for balance in it all. You can hear all of Kendra's tips here.
One of the my own personal goals (*and a goal I work with my clients on*) is embracing "the uncomfortable". Kendra opened up about what steps she is taking to face new and unfamiliar challenges. Hint: One happened during our episode!
In reflecting on her recent achievements, Kendra shared her pride in her athletic journey. Discovering CrossFit only in her late 30s, she's amazed herself with what she can accomplish in her mid-40s! Kendra has always been an athletic role model for me and as a fellow mom, it was a wonderful opportunity to have this insightful discussion with her.
