What you choose to believe about yourself is so incredibly important. Unfortunately, most people believe a lot of negative things about themselves and then wonder why they can’t get anywhere in life.

When you hold onto beliefs like, “I’m not good enough”, “I’m a failure”, or “I could never do something like that”, you end up getting exactly what you believe.

You may not be aware of it, but your beliefs drive everything that you do. Your beliefs determine every result that you get in your life. And ultimately your beliefs about yourself, more than anything else, determine who you become.

Here’s the good news: You get to choose what you want to believe about yourself!

In this episode, I’ll show you how to change your negative beliefs so you can finally get what you want in your life and be who you want to be.

Being overweight is not something that’s not talked about very much (or at all) in the running community.

There seems to be some stigma around being a runner and being overweight. Like you’re not running enough, or you’re somehow doing it wrong if you’re training for a marathon and you’re overweight.

I know exactly how this feels.

In this episode, I’ll share why running is not a very effective tool for weight loss, and why you need to treat the underlying physical, mental, and emotional aspects of overeating if you really want to lose weight for good.

These are some very uncertain times we are living in right now. Races are canceled, schools are closed, restaurants and bars are closed, most people are working from home, and what's next? How bad will it get? What can we do about it? The truth is, there's not a lot we can do about the situation "out there". What we absolutely CAN do is take control of our THOUGHTS about the situation.

The most powerful thing in the entire known universe is the human mind. So how do we use it? Most people use their minds to create stress, anxiety, and depression for themselves. They don’t use their minds to create positive thoughts and positive emotions, they constantly worry that things aren’t as they should be. If only they were thinner, or their husbands treated them better, or they made more money, then they would be happy.

Are you blaming someone or something else for the way you think, feel, or act? Or are you taking responsibility for all of your own thoughts, feelings, and actions? Today on the podcast, I break it all down and show you the major differences between blaming others and taking radical responsibility for all of your results in running and in life.

Most of our problems are created because we're trying to change something about our past. We cause ourselves so much unnecessary stress and anxiety because we are constantly ruminating about past events and wishing they were different! This is crazy! Today on the podcast, I'm going to explain what's really going on here and show you exactly what to do to effectively change your past.

Randy Kreill is a cool cat and a passionate ultrarunner. In 2019, he ran 13 ultramarathons including 6 100-milers. He does it all on a plant-based diet and running in sandals! Randy and I are fast friends, we could talk forever (we laugh a lot during this interview btw), and he's such an inspiration to me. I know you're going to love his energy!

Last week I talked about how all of your problems are actually created in your head - by your thoughts. Today on the podcast, I explain how your feelings drive all of your actions and those actions determine your results - good and bad!

Today on the podcast, I talk about how ALL of your problems are actually created by your thoughts. You can't have a problem unless there's a thought and an unwanted feeling about something. This is some mind-blowing stuff that I hope you can wrap your head around because it WILL change your life!
