Authentic Living

Do you remember watching the Olympics as a kid and imaging yourself on the podium? I’m sure many of us thought “wow, I wish that was me!”. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, I am so happy to welcome Olympic hopeful, Mariah Kelly who will share her journey to becoming an Olympic hopeful.

Mariah is a New Balance sponsored athlete and the recent Canadian Bronze Medalist in the 1500m event. She is currently training at Canada's Olympic Development West Hub and is in pursuit of representing Canada in the upcoming 2020 Olympics.

Mariah holds multiple Niagara Regional club records, is an NCAA All American, a Big 12 champion and Baylor University School record holder. Prior to joining the West Hub, she accepted a full athletic scholarship to Baylor University where she was named Captain of both the track and cross-country teams.

Upon completing her bachelor’s degree in health science, she moved out West to chase her Olympic dream. She is currently ranked 71st in the World and has plans of reaching the top 40 in this upcoming year heading into the Olympics.

I encourage you to reach out at any time with thoughts or questions.

Thanks!

Technology today makes life so convenient, but what is it doing to our human connection? On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we are so fortunate to be joined by Communication Expert and National Speaker, Alicia Berruti. Alicia is here to share what she has learned in her role at Bomb Bomb, a video email marketing platform that allows users to create and build better connections and relationships through video.

Originally from Vancouver B.C., Alicia came to Bomb Bomb with over a decade of experience in massage therapy, which included running her own business and building strong customer relationships. She is passionate about people and human connection, and that passion has fueled her desire to help other professionals communicate in ways that help us all be, just a little more human!

During her 3 years in sales for Bomb Bomb, she travelled all over the U.S. and Canada speaking and educating on the power of video and most recently has left the world of sales to take on the role of National Speaker where she continues to educate and inspire sales professionals to humanize their communication.

In her "free" time, you can find Alicia chasing adventure with her three kids, traveling the world in search of good music and food, and making films and commercials in the local Denver film industry."
