My guest this episode is Swetha Devaraj, a Vascular Radiologist, a certified Animal-Flow Master Instructor, co-founder of Sweaty Ninjas and a passionate Fitness Coach. She shares how she juggled multiple roles to create a work life that integrates her passion for health and fitness with her medical career. Swetha says no matter what career you choose or switch between, one thing is certain: you'll have to work hard at it, and you'll have to bring a lot of sustainability and passion to your work. In this episode we discuss: Things the Fitness Industry doesn't want you to know. The importance of doing proper research before choosing a trainer. Why setting goals, staying motivated, and not burning out is important. How sleep, movement, and nature often go overlooked when it comes to taking care of oneself. How empathy is a valuable quality when you're working with clients. Debunks some popular myths about the benefits of weightlifting for women. How to listen to your body, and what kind of food is best for it. How anxiety has impacted her life and how does she cope with it. In Swetha’s life, the joy of being part of Mysore has been a major positive force. The city imbues her with pride and joy, which she makes evident in her Instagram bio. She has a reputation for being a prankster with her loved ones, something that keeps her from taking herself too seriously. Her idea of success is making a positive contribution to people's lives, whether it's one person or thousands. She also mentions a few of the podcasts she likes to listen to and the documentaries that helped her shift to a meat-free diet. We conclude this conversation with a fun round of rapid-fire questions. We hope you will enjoy this conversation with Swetha as much as we did. Click here for all the show notes.
