Who would’ve thought that spending 2 hours chatting about various forms of stress would be fun! Haha but I have to say, once you’ve come out on the other side of wildly challenging, inexplicable, life diversions that you didn’t plan for even in your wildest dreams…you certainly learn to appreciate the ins & outs of further self development and stress management… And some of us even go so far as to make a career of it!

Case in point: Sean Jacobs of Jacobs Fitness in Tampa, Florida. Sean delivers a dose of fresh reality by showcasing that everything is possible given the right systems are in place to facilitate your success.

Tonya Tittle is the owner of Energy Fitness, mom of 2 boys, wife, athlete and fitness professional with 30+ years experience in the fitness industry. She's been involved with sports since the age of 14 has brought passion for fitness and customer service excellence to Energy Fitness since 2002. Tonya loves teaching a holistic approach to fitness and nutrition while inspiring her clients to believe in themselves.

“I loved having a boutique fitness studio in Downtown Memphis, Tennessee from 2002 to the end of February 2021. It helped me and my family be part of helping make the community healthier and finding lifelong friends. We relocated the studio in March 2021 and currently undergoing construction to the new space in Greenville, South Carolina (Travelers Rest area). The estimated time of construction completion is end of February 2022 with an opening mid-march (fingers crossed). We look forward to being involved and making a difference in our new community."

I couldn’t be more excited to kickoff Season 2 of The 'Runnin’ My Mouth' podcast with Tonya Tittle, an intelligent Master of her craft who’s resiliency is something we should all strive to emulate. From her childhood until now, Tonya has faced challenges with an open heart and mind and an attitude not of, “I can do this”, but instead, “I will conquer this”.

Expect to hear Tonya’s story, expertise, and commentary and then take a good look in the mirror to see how you may be able to take some small daily steps towards self betterment for the greater good of our whole society.

Be sure to follow The ‘Runnin’ My Mouth’ podcast right here to be alerted when Tonya’s episode drops on Monday.

It's ME! Karli Saur AKA Coach Karli is behind the mic for the entirety of today's episode. I felt it was time to give y'all a bit of insight into who the host of the Runnin' My Mouth show is. A brief overview:

I grew up in New Jersey here in the USA. As a lifelong athlete with a passion for helping people, it is no surprise that I am a Coach by profession. I currently hold the following certifications:

NASM CPT, NASM PES, NASM CES, NASM FNS, NASM WLS, Pre/Post-Natal, PowerPlate, TRX, KettleBell L1+L2, RRCA L1+L2, VDOTO2 Running Coaching, BLS/AED/CPR

& the list will continue to grow as my necessary continuing education credits are required every 2 years.

I am a college graduate, who earned a BA in Economics and Business with a focus in International Business and a minor in Spanish. I played both soccer and softball at the D3 collegiate level and loved the chaos that all of those demands created. My consistent high level of energy feeds off an incessantly busy life schedule.

In my “free” time outside of my roles as devoted wife, mother, coach, podcast host, better beauty advocate, chef, maid, chauffeur, landscaper, peace keeper, painter, designer, web developer, + more, I enjoy being outdoors, painting my nails (I’m actually quite good at this), exploring breweries/wineries, eating delicious food, catching up with friends, and honestly just all the mundane/overlooked things in life. I genuinely love being alive and experiencing all that life has to offer.

This collection of excerpts from my conversation with Colleen Rehfuss will get you thinking about the power of Faith and how it may affect you, your loved ones, and strangers all differently. Everyone has their own relationships with higher powers out of their control. Have your morals, values, and ways of life ever forced you to choose between your truth and your job that pays your bills? What about where you've lived? Have you ever thought about how your surroundings may mold you into who you're becoming?

Colleen's upcoming episode gives you a firsthand account of how Faith over fear creates miracles and how your physical location does not have to define you; in fact, you will discover more about yourself when you shake up your environment. It seems to be true that your growth is determined by your willingness to experience more life.
