Performance Mindset Coach Podcast

In this episode, I’m introducing the Utah County High Points Challenge — my personal mission to summit all the county high points in Utah by May 2028. Whether you live in Utah or in another state, you can take on this same challenge in your own backyard by summiting all the county high points where you live.

I have already summited two of the high points in two Utah counties, including Deseret Peak (11,031 ft.) in Tooele County and Brian Head Peak (11,307 ft.) in Iron County. I have 27 peaks left to complete this challenge. I would need to average 9 high points per year by May 2028 to complete this.

Here’s what I cover in today’s episode:

• What the Utah County High Points Challenge is and why I’m taking it on
• How can you adapt this challenge for your own state or region
• Why this isn’t just about hiking — it’s about building your fitness, improving your nutrition, and pushing yourself to the next level.
• The mindset, training, and planning required for a multi-year adventure goal
• How you can follow my progress and get inspired to set your own “big stretch” goal

Whether you’re an experienced hiker, a weekend warrior, or someone who loves chasing epic goals, this challenge will push your limits and show you what you’re truly capable of.

It’s been a month since my last podcast episode, and I’ve got a lot to catch you up on! This summer has been packed with travel, training, and big personal and professional milestones.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• Highlights from my summer travels — both for leisure and for business
• What it was like running my recent half-marathon (and the lessons I learned along the way)
• Why I took some intentional time off from podcasting
• The exciting goal I’m currently working on: completing all of the Utah County Highpoints throughout the state by May 2028
• How this adventure goal ties into my love for fitness, hiking, and challenging myself, with the summer months being ideal to do this challenge

Whether you’re here for travel stories, running inspiration, or just curious about what’s been going on behind the scenes, this episode will give you the inside scoop and maybe even spark your own goal-setting ideas.

In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most common concerns I hear from potential clients:

“Can I still work with a coach if I have an injury or health condition?”

The answer? Absolutely.

With over 13 years of coaching experience, I’ve helped people with arthritis, chronic pain, past injuries, post-surgery recoveries, and various health conditions find ways to move, train, and get results — without making things worse or feeling left behind.

Inside this episode, I cover:

🧠 My approach to individualized coaching when health limitations are involved

⚖️ How we work around injuries instead of ignoring or overtraining them

💪 Why your health goals are still possible — even if you’re not starting from 100%

📝 What to expect when you enroll in my program and how I tailor the plan just for you

Whether you’re dealing with a nagging injury or managing a health condition that’s held you back, this episode will show you what’s possible and how coaching can support you every step.
