About Coaching & Cocktails

Don't get weird, use your head, everything will be OK. Welcome to Coaching & Cocktails, where Team CSFP coaches Tina and Ginny talk about life, health, fitness, natural bodybuilding, and all the beautifully messy stuff in between. With decades of combined experience helping athletes and everyday humans chase their strongest, sanest selves, we dive into training, nutrition, mindset, hormones, stress, and the mental gymnastics required to juggle real life while pursuing big goals. We’re not here to lecture. We’re here to tell the truth, share our lived experience, and sprinkle in some humor, realism, and science—shaken, not stirred. If you want a podcast that feels like coaching, therapy, and girl talk had a baby (and that baby lifted weights), pull up a chair. Laugh with us, learn something new, and remember: you’re absolutely not alone on your journey.

From our combined roles as athletes, pros, coaches, promoters, judges, expediters, and even MCs, we map the blueprint for an elite athlete experience. We get specific about where ...

   S5 Ep3: From Stage Lean to Strong again - Reverse, Recover, Rebuild

   Post show your hormones want a snack and a nap.... listen in to hear why! The day after the stage is where the real work begins. We open up about reverse dieting’s unglamorous middle—where hunger howls, hormones recalibrate, and your identity feels like it’s slipping—and map out a clear path from brittle discipline to durable strength. If you’ve ever wondered why coming off a cut feels harder than the cut itself, this conversation puts language, strategy, and compassion to the chaos. We star...

   S5-Ep2: From Athlete to Coach: Ginny’s Rise — Prep Smart, Live Your Life the Team CSFP Way

   What if discipline felt like care, not punishment? That’s the heartbeat of this conversation as we welcome Ginny to our CSFP coaching team and unpack how a 50‑something athlete built her best natural bodybuilding season without burning down her life. We get honest about the years it took, the injuries that forced smarter choices, and the mindset shifts that turned “more is better” into “better is better.” We dig into the foundations that most people skip: quality sleep, real stress managemen...
