I sit down with Hope Zvara, founder of Mother Trucker Yoga and one of the leading voices in driver wellness. We met at MATS back in 2023, and I've been looking forward to this one for some time! We dive into the real health challenges truckers face on the road, and how small, consistent changes can lead to massive improvements in physical and mental well-being.

Hope shares her personal journey, how she created a movement that brings yoga, mindfulness, and nutrition to drivers nationwide, and why self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s survival in this industry. From in-cab workouts to truck-stop nutrition hacks, this conversation is good for anyone who wants to start getting 1% better daily.

Key Topics:

• The origin story of Mother Trucker Yoga

• Top health issues facing drivers today

• Simple stretches and fitness tips for the cab

• Nutrition strategies for life on the road

• Mental health and managing stress

• Building a sustainable wellness routine for truckers

I came in 2nd in my age group and 18th overall in a Sprint triathlon on Monday

And I share exactly why it's okay to say "Happy Memorial Day"

On today's episode I covered some topics I covered in my newsletter regarding speed limiters and Arkansas' bill that was just passed. Where it fines drivers for not speaking English it misses the mark when it comes to out of service violations, and still allowing non-domiciled CDL holders easy entry into the industry.

Small error towards the end where I accidentally had myself on mute, but give a strong historical opinion on why you need to be bold on who you spend your time with, and why you should help other people win.
