About Athletic But Definitely A Party Girl

Athletic But Definitely A Party Girl is a warm, candid wellness show built around the idea that fitness only matters if it helps a person live better. Tim Landicho brings the energy of a strength coach, the looseness of an informal riff, and the self-awareness of someone who keeps questioning the advice being offered. The show talks about training. It also talks about food, grief, comparison, social media, mindfulness, and the emotional baggage that can come with trying to change a body or a life. That range is the point. A conversation with Taylor Beebe looks at coaching the whole human being, especially when past attempts at weight loss or drastic change have left someone preemptively defeated. A solo episode on mindfulness turns a calorie deficit into a wider discussion about attention, satisfaction, and making nutrition less punishing. A low-key reflection on social media hygiene treats doom scrolling as a physical state that can be interrupted with stimulus-free time. The comparison episode is more internal and philosophical. It asks why comparison can feel strangely compelling, then links that pattern back to scarcity, ego, and the partial stories people see online. The grief episode with Dr. Mekel Harris pushes against shallow positivity and makes room for self-care when life is not okay. The show is not polished into tidy wellness maxims. It circles an idea, complicates it, repeats the part that matters, and keeps asking what would actually help. Its best moments come when practical coaching meets emotional candor. The tone is casual and affectionate, but the underlying project is serious: building healthier relationships with training, ambition, food, technology, and oneself. It suits listeners who like wellness guidance with personality, caveats, and a lot of room for real life.

Made for: For listeners who want strength, nutrition, and mindset conversations that acknowledge burnout, grief, comparison, and complicated bodies. It especially suits people who like coaching that is candid, emotionally aware, and not overly polished.

What sets it apart: The show treats discipline and having a good time as part of the same conversation. Instead of reducing wellness to routines or results, it keeps returning to trust, sustainability, satisfaction, and the whole person behind the goal.

Powerlifting talk centered on process, trust, and the whole person.

Let's Talk Social Media HygieneApr 12, 2026

A familiar social-media hygiene talk that stands out by getting concrete about the hardest first minutes.

A candid riff on the comparison trap that pairs insight with discomfort.
