The Amberly Lago Show: Stories of True Grit and Grace

I met Charlie backstage at a Tony Robbins event, and was immediately drawn to him and his contagious, positive energy. We talked about shared suffering and how sobriety and fitness has transformed our lives. He has such an incredible story, I was thrilled when he accepted the invite to share it on the podcast with you.

Charlie Engle is a writer, runner, recovering addict, and keynote speaker. As he puts it, he's an addict who runs and a runner who writes. He's run across deserts, summited ice-covered volcanoes, swam with crocodiles and served a stint in federal prison. But his greatest challenge is the one he takes on every single day—sobriety. He has been clean and sober since July 23rd, 1992.

As Engle got sober, he turned to running, which became his lifeline, his pastime, and his salvation. He began with marathons, and when marathons weren't far enough, he began to take on ultramarathons, races that went for thirty-five, fifty, and sometimes hundreds of miles, traveling to some of the most unforgiving places on earth to race. The Matt Damon-produced documentary, Running the Sahara, followed Engle as he lead a team on a harrowing, record breaking 4,500-mile run across the Sahara Desert, which helped raise millions of dollars for charity.

In this episode Charlie tells the stories of addiction, recovery, prison, sobriety, running, and overcoming struggles with grit and grace. He is a true inspiration, a treasured friend, a light in the world and in my life, and you will get so much out of listening to this episode!

Here's what you will learn:

• How to welcome suffering when it enters your life and learn some of the greatest lessons (3:41)
• How to keep forward momentum going. From addict to record-breaking ultra runner (12:09)
• A way to publicly share your sobriety story (21:04)
• Why owning your own struggle can be so powerful. "The addict part of me is the best part of me," says Charlie (28:31)
• How Charlie uses breathwork and meditation to prepare for speaking (34:27)
• What he learned about moving your body from his time in prison (42:38)
• How wearable devices help in life coaching (54:22)
• Learn more about his 30 year sobriety milestone and how he plans to celebrate by running for 30 hours!!

All the hard work, grit, grace, and hustle we put into our lives, careers, and health can end up meaning very little if we neglect our most important relationships -- our family. That's why I loved talking with Jim & Jamie about building lasting, quality family relationships.

When 18 Summers founders Jim and Jamie Sheils first met, they faced a whole new challenge. Suddenly, they were a blended family, with the challenges of disconnection and time scarcity that all families face. It was Family Board Meetings that bridged the gap, helping a new family connect, and helping the kids find a sure footing on uncertain ground. Now, through 18 Summers, Jim and Jamie reach families and organizations around the world, helping them discover the benefits of quality time and enduring relationships.

In this episode Jim & Jamie share the wisdom behind growing a close-knit family, balancing each of the important parts of life, and intentionally choosing a lifestyle that supports your core values and relationships

Here's what you will learn:

• How and Jim and Jamie met (2:15)
• The story behind creating the 18 summers project (11:29)
• Why being intentional about family time is important for busy entrepreneurs (17:41)
• How a sincere apology can go a long way (21:22)
• How to build relationships with your partner and your kids (29:48)
• Why questions around their blended family led Jim & Jamie to writing a book (34:26)

Addiction doesn't discriminate. All of us have either struggled with our own addictions, we have a loved one that has battled addiction, or know someone that is still challenged with some kind of addiction. Now more than ever, people are addicted to their phones, shopping, working, drugs, alcohol, food and even dating as a way to numb out pain. Now more than ever, drug abuse and alcohol addiction is on the rise.

Environmental factors, stress at home and at work, depression, fear and what is going on in the world can lead to addiction, but there are ways to start living a fuller life by changing your belief system.

His ability to "speak to a person's soul and help them find their true motive to change" has been the key to inspiring others to make permanent lifestyle changes.

In this episode Todd shares the story of how he fell into addiction, hit rock bottom, and reinvented his mind and heart through recovery, coaching, and mental health. This conversation is so valuable to guide you through changing your perspective to believe in and love yourself more.

Here's what you will learn:

I'm practicing what I preach today and getting on the mic for a solocast about how I have been managing anxiety and fear lately. Even though you have made this a Top 1% podcast Globally (THANK YOU!!!) and you send me the most wonderful messages about how the show has impacted you, I still get a little nervous about doing solocasts. In fact, I have lots of butterflies in my stomach about soooo many things lately, ESPECIALLY to something that might surprise you! I agreed to play in a celebrity softball tournament and I am not just overcoming my fear of being hit in the face with a ball, but also overcoming my anxiety about playing in front of the expected 15,000 people that will be at Globe Life Field--the home of The Texas Rangers!!

Until last week, I had never pitched a ball or been up to bat. Thanks to Coach Ruby (AKA my 14 year old daughter) I have been practicing every day and learned terms like "refuse to lose" and "keep your eye on the ball." I am always up for a good challenge and I can promise you one thing...it will be definitely be entertaining and I will show you first hand how to walk through your fears if you come to see me play ball! So far we have lost three balls over fences and in a pond, I have been hit in the face with a ball, and had one bloody nose. But along the way there have been lots of deep belly laughs, tons of learning and so far I am getting a little better every day.

In this episode I share some of the best ways I've learned to manage anxiety, including stories of specific events that have pushed me to face my fears. You'll also hear from the founder of The Celebrity Softball Classic, Tim "TK" Lund and the whole story behind it, including how you can buy tickets to come see it!

Here's what you will learn:

• How action steps can help you through anxiety (3:47)
• The importance of hard work. The will to win is not nearly so important as the will to prepare to win (8:30)
• How connection with others is essential to the journey. WE not me attitude. (13:23)
• Don't rely on motivation but instead on your healthy habits (21:09)
• Opportunities may knock, but you must open the door(24:17)
• It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get back up (25:00)
• How movement moves your mood and the importance of the right supplements (27:10)
