  • How Big Goals Build Discipline With Sarah
    Dec 15 2025

    In this episode, Sarah talks honestly about why big, clear goals matter — not as motivation, but as a foundation for discipline. Drawing on her own journey from limited cycling experience to racing events like The Rift and Badlands, she explores how fear, self-doubt, and inconsistency show up for most riders, and why a strong WHY is what keeps you moving forward when motivation fades. This episode is about choosing goals that actually change your behaviour, learning how to dig deeper into your reasons for training, and building self-trust through consistency rather than confidence.

  • I Trained Like A Pro Cyclist For 60 Days - Here's What Happened
    Dec 12 2025

    I decided to fully commit to training like a professional cyclist for 60 days — no shortcuts, no excuses. Structured workouts, long hours on the bike, strict recovery, and a whole new level of discipline. I wanted to see what would actually change: my fitness, my mindset, my body, and my relationship with training. Some things were expected… others definitely weren’t. In this video, I break down what the experience was really like, what surprised me the most, and whether training like a pro is actually worth it for everyday riders. This isn’t a transformation story — it’s an honest experiment.
