Toni takes us with her on another run along the Los Gatos Creek Trail on a day where she does not feel particularly motivated or inspired. By the end of her PATH it is clear that she got so much more out of it than an endorphin high! She felt compelled to share her story... of why it is so worthwhile to stay on our PATH, even though many times it is hard and to remember how our future-selves will Thank us when we do!

Teachers and Educators, listen up!!! We spoke at length with the lovely and talented Gina Koepf in this episode of PATH.

This super-fun episode is one-part road trip, one-part kitchen surprise as we converse with Jessie Price, editor of Eating Well Magazine. We touch on local food, Vermont goodies and how convenience food can fit into your PATH. We learned all sorts of interesting tidbits including Jessie's must haves for quick, make-at-home meals, her love of reggae music and her sister Katie's blog, @healthyseasonal.

Here at The PATHPod we thought it might be nice for our listeners to get to know us a bit better and provide more context during our conversations. In the course of this short, little spotlight, Toni shines a light on her friend and co-host, Jenny, aka "Miss J". Tune in as Toni shares why she chose to go on this journey with Jenny, on this PATH!

We had THE BEST conversation with Kyra Palmbush, author of Make Your Mark, a children's book about body image and self acceptance. What is so remarkable about Kyra is that she just graduated from High School at Freestyle Academy in Mountain View, CA and is on her way to play volleyball at the University of Idaho! We chatted with Kyra about how her book came to fruition and her hopes for how it will land with young people. She is an incredibly insightful young lady and this interview gives us hope that we are in good hands with this next generation - It's one you won't want to miss.
