Summary

Women are often accused of being “too emotional”, whether it’s PMS, perimenopause, or just plain life. Worse, we’re made to believe those emotions make us weak. What if the opposite were true? What if our emotions were our super power, a force we could channel to give us strength in and out of the gym? This week’s guest Aimee Anaya Everett is living proof we can do just that, as she has channeled her own emotional turmoil into a world class Olympic coaching and lifting career. Now she helps other women in midlife and menopause do the same.

Aimee Anaya Everett is the co-owner of Catalyst Athletics. She has devoted the last 29 years to the sport of Olympic Weightlifting as an athlete and a coach. In her time as a coach, Anaya Everett became the second female International Coach in USA Weightlifting, and the first American female coach to coach at the Olympics. Aimee is also the head lifting coach for Mat Fraser’s HWPO Training. Aimee coaches Olympic Weightlifting athletes across all levels, including a multiple American and Pan Am record holder, World Championship multi-medalist, and a Youth World Champion. She also loves coaching beginners and garage lifters with no desire to compete. Aimee has a passion for mental training and toughness, and has a Masters Degree in Human Behavior Psychology.

0:00.0	You are listening to Hit Play, Not Pause, a feisty menopause podcast for active performance-minded women.
0:14.6	I am your host, Celine Yeager. Each week, I bring you advice from athletes, scientists, researchers, and other experts to help
0:21.2	you feel and perform your best, no matter what your hormones are doing.
0:25.2	This show is a production of Live Feisty Media.
0:30.6	Hello, strong feisty women.
0:32.4	I hope you all are well.
0:34.3	So as you might imagine, I do quite a bit of research for this show.
0:38.5	I dive into the topic at hand, I scour the internet to learn as much as I can about each
0:42.9	guest, and then I come up with topics and questions that I'd like to ask.
0:47.3	So by the time I get on to the Zoom with them, I generally have a fairly clear picture in my
0:51.5	head of what shape the conversation will take.
0:55.2	And sometimes, like this week, my guest comes in with a rattle can and a spray gun and just paints
1:01.1	a picture, the likes of which I never had imagined. And it's awesome. So this week's guest
1:08.8	is Amy Anaya Everett, and she is the co-owner of Catalyst Athletics.
1:13.8	She has devoted nearly 30 years to the sport of Olympic weightlifting as an athlete and as a coach,
1:20.2	and she is coached at the World Championship and Olympic level.
1:23.7	And today she works with a lot of midlife women.
1:27.0	So I'd imagined there'd be a lot of barbell talk.
1:29.7	I know she's big on mindset, so I thought we'd have some self-affirmations or mental reframing work.
1:35.5	But this one went so many unexpected places kind of right out of the gate that honestly, I just let go the reins and delighted in going along for the ride to see where we went.
1:47.1	And it did not disappoint.
1:49.2	So I will just let this conversation speak for itself, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
