Maybe Running Will Help?

Matt Johnson is a badass runner inspiring the community with his grit and determination. He's an athlete who talks the talk and consistently does what he says he’s going to do because that’s just who he is. Besides being a dope soul, Matt has an incredible list of achievements including his most recent finish at the Leadville 100. Oh, and he also has an adorable soft spot for his mom.

In this podcast episode, I'm exploring the topic of fitness and physical activity with Evan Slaughter - a fitness influencer with over 126K instagram followers who is known for his positivity and comedic content.

The conversation leads us to the topic of self-compassion and caring less about what others think. We discuss whether going through difficult times is necessary to reach a place of self-acceptance or if there are ways to avoid it. We acknowledge that everyone's journey will have its challenges, but there may be ways to navigate them.

During the episode I introduce the concept of a "canon event," which is an unavoidable and unchangeable event that has had a significant impact on one's life. We mention that people are using this term to describe moments that have shaped them into who they are today.

Overall, this episode explores the intersection of fitness, personal growth, and self-acceptance, highlighting the importance of physical activity in enhancing various aspects of life.

Many of us start running skeptically but keep running moved by a new found belief in ourselves and others. We develop a spiritual connection to the sport and are inspired by each other. But what’s it like to be a highly sensitive person in a community that thrives on deeply emotional experiences? 

That’s unexpectedly what my guest, Jamie DePaola, and I explore in today’s episode. Jamie is a fellow empath, and is also a clairvoyant, and ultra marathon runner. From the moment I saw her, I felt like we’d known each other for my entire life! Some people even say we even look alike with similar mannerisms.

Maybe it’s no wonder I found her aura refreshing but I’ve no doubt you're going to catch all the feels during this conversation.Jamie’s energy is contagious and her heart is warm and welcoming and I can’t wait to share her with you.

On todays episode we'll hear from pelvic health expert, Dr. Naomi Dillon. She has a doctorate degree in physical therapy and currently works at FX physical therapy in Hunt Valley, Maryland treating athletes including runners to help them advance their athleticism and recover from pain and injury.

Get ready because we are talking about all that stuff you’ve probably been too embarrassed to mention to your coach even though it could be impacting your performance!

Our topics today include incontinence, constipation, and even erectile disfunction. The good news here is that many of these conditions may be treatable with physical therapy!

If you’re someone who has experienced issues with bladder control your are not alone. It’s time to get out of our panty protectors and adult diapers and into this conversation.

Today I’m sharing with you my recent conversation with Gary Cantrell - aka Lazarus Lake, he’s also been called "evil genius," "The Leonardo da Vinci of pain," and "A master of sadomasochistic craft.” But he’ll describe himself as just an old hillbilly who lives in the woods.

His races have developed an almost cult-like following and you can consider me a member. Ever since the 2014 documentary on The Barkley Marathons, I’ve been obsessed.

In todays episode we’ll talk about who Laz really is, how he does what he does, and why we should dream big dreams and make them happen.

Thanks to Laz for joining us. Be sure to check out all his races at lazaruslake.com.
