Today we welcome special guest Katie Austin, a multifaceted fitness personality, recipe developer, Sports Illustrated model, and app creator. Known for her attainable and balanced approach to health and wellness, Katie gives insightful advice from how to change your mindset around nutrition to creating a simple morning routine. She shares how growing up in a sporty household with fitness legend Denise Austin influenced her passion for staying active and fueled her competitive spirit, leading her to become a D1 lacrosse athlete. As Katie slowly found joy in working out after years of intense training, she now emphasizes the importance of mental health and balance in the fitness industry — a bender weekend in Miami isn’t always a bad thing. We also chat about protein intake, the current colostrum trend, and how to get out of a slump. If you’re looking for “healthified” versions of your favorite meals or need a little extra motivation, we highly recommend downloading Katie Austin’s app! Kristina and Raeann also chat about the highlights from last year’s pool party, our booked and busy summer schedules, and the crazy NYC humidity that ruins any blowout.  New podcast episodes of Confident Collective drop every Tuesday.
