  • How Setbacks and Detours are Part of the Path - with Mike Mcknight

    Joe hops on for his first interview this season with a good friend. They chat about running (of course!) and a rock bottom moment that led to an unexpected chain of events.

    Mike Mcknight is a fellow podcaster, low carb athlete, and ultra-running  coach, who knows what it means to chase after what you love -  literally. Besides completing a fasted 100-mile race, he has the fastest known time for the 500-mile Colorado Trail. And he has a story you won't want to miss!

  • How to Find Yourself Again After Postpartum Depression - with Jill Freestone

    Hi friends!

    I’m so excited for you to hear our interview today. This is the interview I wish I would have had in the middle of postpartum anxiety and newborn kids and hearing about self care for the first time. I honestly believe you will think about self care in a new way after listening - and you can hold me to that. Listen in for her tips on connecting back to yourself and your loved ones - after a season of regularly putting yourself last

    Jill Freestone is a friend and Life Coach, trained and certified through The Life Coach School. She also has an Elementary Education degree from BYU, music minor, and 25 years as a piano and flute teacher. Jill’s battles with anxiety, depression and chronic health problems led her to take many courses and therapy, giving her the tools to thrive. She loves dancing, learning, and the outdoors, spending time weekly mountain biking, running, hiking, skiing or camping. Jill says she is crazy about her handsome husband, especially when they are dancing. And they adore their three incredible daughters, ages 16, 19 and 21.

  • Owning Unexpected Paths & How to Love the Single Life - with Allie Barnes

    You guys! Another episode I literally couldn't wait to air. In fact, I'm dropping this early so that you can have it for Valentine's Day slash #singleawarenessday . Whether you're in a relationship or not, listen in for 10 Ways to Own the Unexpected and Love the Life You Have.

    Allie Barnes is an author, Latter-day Saint, and people person. She is a masters student studying leadership, and previously graduated with a bachelor's degree in Family Studies. I read her book “Not According to Plan” and absolutely loved her thoughts on relationships and faith, and I also had the privilege to have a conversation with her in person about some of those things. She branded her website “Looks Like Wandering” and I can't get enough of that premise - how our paths in life are not always linear. That perspective is so refreshing, and so honest.

  • Therapy, Body Image, & How Vulnerability Connects Us - with Amy Geis Lorsch

    Do you ever struggle with trusting yourself and your body? Or just need to know that your feelings are totally normal? Our guest today opens up about some of those moments in her life and how we can choose to show up with vulnerability - even when we don't have all of the answers.

    Amy Geis Lorsch is an amazing singer/songwriter that I came across while podcast bingeing, and I’m so glad I did. She writes this raw, vulnerable music that so many people connect with. She attended Brigham Young University and participated in their music group: BYU Noteworthy. She’s a Utah native, but has also spent time in the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica. She talks about songwriting with so much passion, and as a way to be there for each other, which is something we all need right now!

  • Story vs. Identity

    Today, Joe and I chat about the difference between the story we tell ourselves and who we actually are. Plus, we dive into 5 tips for discovering who you really are:

    1. Know who you want to be, before worrying about the to-do list.
    2. Don't fall into the trap of all-or-nothing thinking.
    3. The things that you do every day are the most important things.
    4. Know your meaning and your why.
    5. You are already inherently worthy.
