Based on the transcript and the "She Pushed Through the Pain..." hook from your screenshot, here is a compelling episode description for I’m Up He See’s Me I’m Down.

"I always experienced really bad hip pain and no one really knew where it was coming from... I was taught that pain is mental and that we could just endure through it."

What happens when your entire identity is built on your ability to outrun the pain—and then your body finally says, "No more"?

In this powerful episode of I’m Up He See’s Me I’m Down, host Mike Turner sits down with leadership coach and organizational expert Carylynn Larson. For years, Carylynn defined herself as an elite marathon runner, using the sport as a coping mechanism for life's stresses. But beneath the surface, a battle with hip dysplasia and a silent struggle with an eating disorder were leading her toward a total physical and mental breaking point.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• The Cost of High Expectations: Growing up in an academic household and the pressure to excel at all costs.
• The Military Spouse Journey: Navigating isolation, deployment during a pandemic, and the vital role of community.
• The Breaking Point: Moving from elite athlete to being confined to a wheelchair, and the "hard work" of learning to sit with yourself.
• Identity vs. Achievement: How to lead when your "superpower" is taken away and you’re forced to reconnect with your body and faith.
• Healing Communities: Why modern organizations need leaders who aren’t just "task-oriented," but who create safe spaces for the human experience.

Carylynn’s story is a masterclass in resilience—not the surface-level "hustle" kind, but the deep, transformative grit required to rebuild a life from the ground up.
