This episode is all about surrounding yourself with the best team possible in every area of your life! Tune in as we dive into how to optimize your wellness by creating healthy habits, knowing the truth about your bones being "out of place," and when or when not to push yourself.

We answer the following questions:

In your book, Hope Not Nope, you discuss the truth about spinal adjustments and how rare it is for bones to “pop out of place." Can you explain this?

How do you know when to push through a workout? Are you in pain because of an injury or are you experiencing accepted pain because you value the performance?

What is your body telling you in the midst of an anxiety attack? How about when you are feeling plantar fasciitis? And what should you do when people are affecting you negatively, and their "nope" is bringing you down?

Reflect on those questions, and listen along to this episode as we deep dive into the following specific questions:

I loved the chapter in your book on performance vs pain. If I'm recovering from an injury, how do I know how much to lean into the discomfort for the goal of performance?

I’ve been struggling with what feels like Plantar fasciitis but have not gone to a doctor to get it looked at. Do you have any recommendations on what to do?

What are ways that you combat letting others’ NOPE narrative affect you negatively?

What are you running from? Where are you running to? What's on your feet while running?

This episode of the Hope Not Nope Podcast shares Hope Stories about grandma's running with their grandkids, invites runners into the truth about barefoot and minimalist shoes, as well as leans into the following questions:

In pursuit of consistent Hope, how do you handle bad days, days of discouragement and/or days with bad symptoms? Do you allow for days where you can’t push through it, or does that no longer occur for you?

I've had some foot issues when running and have heard I should switch shoes, I've also heard barefoot shoes reduce running injuries, should I wear minimalist or barefoot shoes?

Someone I know has had great accomplishments through high school.  However since this time, which was 23 years ago, life has been a struggle for them.  I continue to have hope for this person.  I have listened, suggested, offered and paid for therapy (and more) but nothing has worked.  What should I do?

What does Running and Halloween have in common? No, we're not talking about a Zombie Run 5K. We're talking about Shuttle Run Peek-a-boo for Parents! Tune into this episode to hear more about what that means.

Did you know that in some cases an ACL Surgery May Not Be Needed? We lay out the circumstances of when that is the case, specifically what it means to be a coper vs. non-coper.

This episode is full of gratitude and fun conversation, celebrating the launch of the podcast, and the overwhelming support from the Hope Community. We answer these questions:

In your opinion, what is the first step toward hope?

In your book, Hope Not Nope, you mention ACL surgery is not always needed, how do we know when or when not it should be done?

How do you use workouts to inspire hope in your day-to-day life? For context, I’m a stay at home mom who works out regularly. I’ve noticed that in certain areas of my life, I feel discouraged, unmotivated, and somewhat hopeless. How can I use exercise to channel the change that I want to see?
