We are thrilled to introduce you to Colette Brown! Colette is a personal wellness advocate. Her passion for wellness came from her own experience with being "unwell" for over 20 years. Once she found the solution to her health issues, she embraced a new lifestyle and is passionate about sharing her knowledge in helping others with radical transformation. On this episode, Colette shares her story of healing and resilience, and gives amazing tips that can change your life.

This episode's 22 Too Many veteran

Alex enjoyed everything about the ocean, the way it smelled to the way the waves crashed onto themselves. He even enjoyed the sound of a boats engine far off in the distance. He had a dog he forever loved and never stopped talking about named King. Prior to becoming an officer in New Jersey, he was also a border patrol agent. As an officer, he upheld the notion of protecting those who could not protect themselves, and it carried over into his personal life for those he cared deeply about. Alex had a superb memory and was full on information from the important to the funny and useless. He was always drawn to NY and enjoyed taking the ferry. He was a role model for many of his friends' kids, as he cared for them as if they were his own. He was the guy you would want by your side when in battle or if things started looking down.

This is a very special episode as our own Adriana Ferns is now a published author. Her memoir, Fitness to Freedom: Find Health and Self While Incarcerated is now available on Amazon.

In this episode we talk all about the book - from the events leading to Adriana's incarceration, falling down to rock bottom, then working her ass off to get physically and mentally fit, and inspiring others to do the same, as well as Adriana's thought process in publishing her book.

This is Adriana's origin story, going from substance abuse and self-destruction to using her prison time to grow into a successful Personal trainer and productive member of society. Not only is this book about personal growth, it's also a self-help for Women in Prison. Women are so underserved in the prison system and with female incarceration numbers growing, this book offers relatable real-life advice for women incarceration as well as anyone who feels they are trapped in their own personal prison.

Adriana is truly an inspiration, showing that no matter how low you are feeling, you can pull yourself up and become both physically and mentally fit. Adriana gives great advice by using herself as an example that you can do anything you set your mind to.

Enjoy this episode, and become inspired!

This week, we welcome Susan Wheeler to the Rhode Runner family! We have all heard the adage, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade". Often, that is easier said than done. However, Susan has proven time and time again that it can be done. As you can find in Susan's book, The Lemonade Diet, she was handed bushels of lemons...enough so that she has been able to make lemonade to share with all of us!

One example is a debilitating accident that resulted in breaking practically every bone in her body, including her back, as well as shattering her pelvis. 6 years later, she began running, and has gone on to run more than 25 marathons, half-marathons, and ultra-marathons! And if you read her book (which I highly recommend), this only scratches the surface of what she's been through.

We all go through things that can set us back, no matter how big or small. So, it is great to have somebody that's been through it all, to help guide us to overcome and thrive.

Be ready to be inspired in this can't-miss episode, and go after your dreams no matter how many lemons get thrown your way!
