How to Keep Going When You’re Over It: T...

She's So Lucky
About this episode

#299: If you had to choose between running up a hill, or taking a flat road, which would you take? If you automatically said flat road, this episode may inspire you to take the hill.

Today we’re sitting down with Marcel Dinkins — Peloton instructor, podcast host and athlete — for a fun, lively conversation on what it means to move through discomfort. Marcel inspires us to take the best route, which isn’t always the easy one, and find new ways to reinvent ourselves along the way. If you’re looking for motivation to push through plateaus, this episode is it.


We Also Talk About…

  • Marcel’s career transition from the Army, to fashion, to fitness
  • How Marcel moved to New York on a whim in her early 20s and hasn’t looked back
  • Marcel’s funny run-in with Tracee Ellis Ross during the Girlfriends era
  • How Marcel manifested her dream job as a Peloton instructor
  • What it means to take the hill, and why you should
