In this episode of the Donut Shop Podcast, I sat down with Jody Rahn, founder of Oil Can Functional Fitness, to talk about transformation — physical, emotional, and spiritual.
Jody shares how fitness became more than exercise. It became a pathway to healing, confidence, and mental clarity. What started as a personal journey evolved into a calling — helping others, especially senior citizens, build strength, mobility, and independence so they can maintain their daily function and quality of life.
We also have a deeply honest conversation about the suspicious circumstances surrounding her brother’s suicide, and how grief shaped her commitment to mental wellness and helping others find resilience through movement.
🎙️ In this episode, we discuss:
Using fitness as a gateway to mental health
The power of strength training for seniors
Functional fitness vs. aesthetic fitness
Grief, unanswered questions, and moving forward
Why it’s never too late to start over
This episode is about strength in every sense of the word.
🍩🎙️ Donut Shop Podcast — real conversations about resilience, growth, and finding your next chapter.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out for help. You are not alone.
