The Untrained Podcast
Do you want to ditch ways of moving through the world that keep you tired, insecure, stressed, and giving too much of yourself away? Do you want to be Untrained from that @!&?
We are Whitney and Iris, and we are hosts of the Untrained podcast. We are on a mission to challenge outdated paradigms and promote more sustainable and empowered ways of living and working.
As former elite athletes we spend a lot of time training hard both in athletics and at work. As executive coaches we found that helping our clients (and one another) UNTRAIN from toxic strategies and mindsets lead to greater wellbeing AND productivity. Our goal is to illuminate the training that doesn’t serve our clients, and offer more sustainable and aligned approaches for living and leading well.
