The Future Of Women's Cycling With Kate Veronneau
Did you watch the Tour de France Femmes Avec Zwift last summer? If so, you have Kate Veronneau to thank.
Kate is the Director of Women's Strategy at Zwift (the popular indoor cycling platform you probably already use). She has done an amazing job not only of elevating the company, but also the sport of professional women's cycling.
In this interview, we chat about parity in women's cycling, the barriers to getting more sponsorship for women, and how Zwift has acted as an entry way for women getting into cycling. Even if you aren't into professional cycling or biking indoors, you'll love the female empowerment message in this episode.

I was so honored to get to sit down with Lael to chat about her plans for a 2024 Around The World record attempt, her women's rallies, what it's like being the recipient of so much criticism online, and much more.

Why Strength Training Is A Must With Bekah Rottenberg
If you're anything like me, you LOVE getting out on the bike but maybe you don't like strength training quite as much. But the unfortunate truth is that we NEED to be doing strength training in addition to riding our bikes.
In this podcast interview, I chat with Bekah Rottenberg about why strength training needs to be a non-negotiable part of our routine. Bekah, who is a mountain bike skills coach and strength training coach, likes to say "you can't be strong on the bike until you get strong off the bike."
She shares the different types of movements we should be doing, common myths around strength training, and how it can improve our confidence, coordination, and mind-body connection.

How To Develop Your Mountain Bike Skills & Confidence With Joanna Yates
Whether you're new to mountain biking or just haven't progressed as far as you would like, it's likely one of two things (maybe both) that are holding you back: your skills or your confidence.
In this episode, I chat with Joanna Yates about how to develop both. Joanna is a mountain bike skills coach and guide in Sedona, Arizona. She's also a mountain bike instructor mentor, helping new mountain bike coaches get started.
We touch on a bunch of topics in this interview including how to choose a mountain bike coach, the importance of regular skills practice, and changing the stories we tell ourselves.

Customer Reviews
Love the female focus
Just found this podcast and I really enjoy the female focus. Gives me motivation to get on my bike.
Daily Dose of Biking Love
At 62 I so enjoy this daily dose of biking knowledge and love. You and guests has rejuvenated my relationship with my bike. Thank you!
The community I didn’t know I needed
I’ve been a commuting and touring cyclist for 15 years and worked in a shop. Thought I already knew what I needed about biking, but this podcast has been a great way to learn more and push my boundaries! I’ve especially appreciated all of the talk about women specific issues (pregnancy and post partum riding!), size inclusive brands, and “how to” topics. This podcast helped me find the courage and the trails to get into mountain biking, and do it at my own pace!
