Built for Growth by Miesha Tate

Jordan Syatt joins Miesha Tate for an honest conversation about food guilt, fitness, and building habits that fit a real life. The fitness coach shares how wrestling and powerlifting shaped his approach to training—and how his own struggles with restrictive eating changed the way he works with clients. Together, they unpack diet culture, the pressure to label foods good or bad, and why moderation can feel more complicated than it sounds.
Miesha opens up about weight cutting and rebuilding her relationship with food, while Jordan reflects on the behavioral side of lasting change. They discuss everyday movement, strength training, sleep, and intermittent fasting before turning to GLP-1 medications. Jordan shares his personal experience, and the two explore their differing perspectives on medication, lifestyle changes, and stigma. It’s a candid conversation about finding a sustainable path without making health and fitness your entire identity.

Adeline Gray joins Miesha Tate for an honest conversation about motherhood, Olympic dreams, and what it really takes to return to elite sport after having children. The six-time wrestling world champion and Olympic silver medalist shares her journey from wrestling boys in Colorado to competing on the world stage, and why keeping friendships and an identity outside the sport has mattered throughout her career.
Adeline opens up about recovering after twins, breastfeeding while training, rebuilding strength, and giving herself more time after her third baby. Together, she and Miesha talk about sleep, support systems, the financial uncertainty of Olympic sport, and learning when to adjust training instead of pushing harder. They also discuss mom guilt, protecting family time, and Adeline’s uncertainty about pursuing another Olympic run or growing her family. It’s a grounded look at ambition and sacrifice—and the possibility of loving your children deeply while still making room for yourself.

Dr. Priyanka Villanassery joins Miesha Tate for an honest conversation about infant movement, developmental milestones, and the emotional side of becoming a mother. A pediatric physical therapist and founder of The Baby Bliss Collective, Priyanka explains how she works with babies and coaches parents to make movement practice fit into everyday life.
Priyanka shares her own birth and postpartum experience, while Miesha reflects on her pregnancies and the different ways she approached labor. Together, they discuss when parents might ask a pediatrician about movement concerns, tummy time, crawling, play, support for overwhelmed mothers, and listening to the body through pregnancy and recovery. They also talk about the value of family support and how parenting changes the way they understand their children. The clinical perspectives and personal birth experiences in this conversation are for education and reflection; individual concerns belong with a qualified healthcare professional.

Dr. Cameron Chesnut joins Miesha Tate for an honest conversation about facial aging, facial plastic surgery, and why the best aesthetic work often looks like nothing happened at all. As a facial plastic surgeon and founder of 5C, Dr. Chesnut explains his “less is more” approach—restoring function, structure, and familiar identity instead of chasing dramatic transformation.
Together, they explore the athlete’s mindset he brings to preparation and recovery, how inflammation, sleep, nutrition, hormones, and metabolic health can affect healing, and what patients should understand about fillers, biostimulatory products, Botox, facial movement, regenerative treatments, red light, sunlight, anesthesia, and the timing of surgery. Miesha also shares her own recovery experiences as a fighter and mother while Dr. Chesnut discusses why individualized care, restraint, and long-term thinking matter more than trends. This conversation is for educational purposes and is not medical advice. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions about procedures, medications, supplements, or recovery protocols.

Krista Mashore joins Miesha Tate for an honest conversation about breaking family cycles, rebuilding self-worth, and finding the courage to start over. The real estate coach and author opens up about leaving home at 13, her experience in foster care, and the work that helped her rebuild a relationship with her mother. Beneath the career accomplishments is the part of her story she is most proud of: becoming a safe place for her daughters and choosing to parent differently.
Together, they explore how childhood experiences can shape adult relationships, their personal struggles with eating disorders, and the self-talk that can persist even when life looks successful from the outside. Krista explains her Stop, Snap & Switch approach to noticing and reframing negative thoughts, while Miesha shares how she works through fear before a fight. They also discuss rebuilding after divorce, leaving an established real estate career to pursue coaching, learning from business setbacks, and supporting children without expecting yourself to be a perfect parent. It’s a candid conversation about accountability, connection, and continuing to grow while you’re still a work in progress.
