At The Coffee Table

In this episode, I go solo to talk about our individual stories and how they should shape who we are and not define who we are. Our stories are always added to and should not end until the end of life.

In this episode, we discuss the status of health and wellness in the fire service with Kara Judd is an AFAA Certified Fitness Instructor and wellness and nutrition coach for firefighters and first responders. Kara serves clients that include Manlius Fire Dept, Cazenovia Fire Dept, NYS Academy of Fire Science.

In this episode of At The Coffee Table the table becomes round.  We will be having a round table discussion on personal development and growth mindset with three moderators.  I have the privilege of being joined by:

Alexis is a 5th degree Black Belt instructor. After 51 years, Greg and Judy decided to cease physical operations of their school - partly due to Covid, and also due to a surprise cancer diagnosis for Greg. Alexis reincorporated the business and pivoted to a virtual format. She teaches live, online classes to children and adults in both karate and kickboxing. Alexis, with her husband Jordan, also owns and operates an e-commerce store name Lhük Vintage. They sell vintage clothing and merchandise.

In her spare time, Jackie enjoys spending by time with her family and exercising.

Elizabeth Randall is a Neurosurgery Nurse Practitioner with a master’s degree from Upstate University. A single mom of two, she is no stranger to the obstacles and steep climbs up the hill of life. Throughout her career as an RN to FNP she has had to change jobs many times, went through a divorce, and graduated during the Covid pandemic.   This self-appointed nerdy -hippie loves to discuss human rights, self-love, nature, and the universe.  She spends most of her free time trying to live life to the fullest with her kids, going on nature-soaked adventures, running, reading, and even making a few short YouTube videos.  She believes life should be lived from the heart with kindness, perseverance, open curiosity, and just a touch of goofy.

In this episode, I sit down At The Coffee Table with Rachel Watkins to discuss the pivots in her life that took her from Pediatric RN to Plexus business owner to body-building competitions.

Post-graduation she was employed by a Level 4 Regional Transport Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit where for 14 years she cared for the most critically ill newborns, oriented new staff, and assisted management in developing research-based policies.

With a history as a competitive club gymnast holding several state and regional titles as well as being a nationally competitive high school varsity and later co-ed collegiate cheerleader, it seemed only natural that Rachel would somehow continue to be involved in the arena of athletics in her adult life.

Her ever-deepening passions for health, fitness, supplementation, and competitive bodybuilding took her in 2018 to return to school and become a National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer as well as in 2020 to receive her specialization in Behavioral Change.

Rachel is now 38 years young. She and her husband Steve have been married for 16 years. Together they have two children; Liam 12 and Makenna 8.

Rachel currently manages a six-figure home-based business as a supplement specialist with Plexus Worldwide and additionally her own online personal training business.

Rachel has competed in several body-building competitions. NYS Natural 2017 2nd place Figure Debut, 2nd place Figure Novice, 2nd place Figure Open Class A and received the Best Figure Presentation special award. Liberty State Natural 2018 1st place Figure Novice, 1st place Figure Open Class A. NYS Natural 2019 1st place Figure Open Class A. She went on to make her NPC Bikini debut in November of 2020 placing 1st in Bikini Novice B, 1st in Bikini Novice Open, 2nd in Bikini Overall, and 5th in Bikini Masters. She aspires to one day be awarded an IFBB Bikini Pro Card and compete at the Olympic level.
