I Am Redemption

What happens when you stop letting fear hold you back?

This week on I Am Redemption, we sit down with Austin athlete and inspirational woman Camille Cypress-Cochran for a powerful conversation about overcoming adversity, finding strength through fitness, and learning to be unapologetically yourself

For the first time, Camille opens up about what originally brought her to Austin, the challenges she's faced, and how the city's running and fitness communities have helped shape her life

We talk about discovering Squatch Frontier Fitness, stepping outside her comfort zone, preparing for her upcoming charity boxing match, cutting weight, and walking through the fear of stepping into the ring

We also dive into HYROX, the controversy surrounding the sport, and what its future might look like

Above all, Camille shares a message for women everywhere about being powerful, proud, confident, and unapologetically themselves

You don't have to be fearless to take the next step

Sometimes you just have to do it scared

I AM Cricchi joins Shawn Livingston to go behind the scenes of the upcoming feature film Price of Redemption

Fresh off his second nationwide tour with platinum recording artist Merkules, Cricchi talks about making his big-screen debut, having his music featured in the film, and what made this project different from anything he’s been part of before

They get into the real people behind the movie, addiction, PTSD, prison, family, veterans, running, redemption, and why bringing people with lived experience into the film gave Price of Redemption an authenticity you can’t manufacture

Plus, Cricchi talks about beginning his own running journey, training for the Austin Marathon, getting tricked into his longest run yet, and his unforgettable first cold plunge

7-OH, kratom and the products showing up in gas stations and smoke shops have become one of the fastest-growing conversations around addiction, regulation and what people are actually buying.

Jordan Neumann joins Shawn Livingston to break down what he’s been uncovering around 7-OH, products marketed as Cat’s Claw, candy-style packaging, sweet flavors and why parents should understand what is being sold in plain sight.

Jordan’s connection to this subject is also deeply personal. He shares his story of going to prison, finding sobriety and rebuilding his life from the ground up.

Today Jordan is part of I Am Redemption, appears in the upcoming feature film Price of Redemption and is training to run the Austin Marathon with Team I Am Redemption.

We talk about 7-OH, kratom, gas station drugs, addiction, prison, sobriety, accountability, running and what it actually looks like to build a different life.

Pamela Cooper has lived more life in her early 20s than most people could imagine

After experiencing the devastating death of her child, Pamela found herself battling grief, mental health struggles, addiction, and a version of herself she no longer recognized

But her story didn't end there

She fought her way forward through sobriety, a dramatic weight loss and fitness journey, motherhood, and finding connection with people who reminded her she didn't have to do life alone

Our paths crossed through the Sober Girls Group Chat, Redemption Weekend, and the 100th episode of the I Am Redemption Podcast, where Pamela stood up during the live show and asked a question that turned into a moment that reached far beyond that room

Since then, she hasn't just been around I Am Redemption, she's shown up

She's volunteered alongside us, brought her family, joined our runs, and continued becoming someone who uses what she's survived to help others

Pamela's story is about grief, addiction, mental health, sobriety, motherhood, fitness, weight loss, and what can happen when we give our pain a purpose

This is I Am Redemption
