Today on the podcast we have Kyle Mack, LCSW.  We asked Kyle to give us some tools to work through anxiety.  We all need tools to identify and handle stress.  No one is immune to emotions.  We need to develop the tools to not let our emotions blind us from positive possibilities.

You don't want to look back a year from now and regret what you did with your time.

On the podcast today we have Councilwoman Rayna Laiosa.  We wanted to have her speak because she has been supporting local small businesses during this shutdown in any way she can as well as rallying the town behind her.  

Besides being a Councilwoman, Rayna also is a Chairperson for the Hawthorne Environmental Commission and the Hawthorne Green Team.

Since we recorded this, we have spoken further about how we can partner up to inform and support local small businesses so they can make it through this time.

If businesses don't survive, jobs won't either.  If you are in a position to support any local business through this shutdown, please do so.  They need your support more than ever.

Today on the podcast we have Scott Koningswood, DPT.  Scott works in Glen Rock as a physical therapist and will be offering soft tissue work at SOAR.  

Laugh along as we discuss hunting weights, why you need to warm-up, why tempo work may be the best thing for you, and how you are cutting your gains by not warming down.

You can follow Scott at @kperformance__.

Imagine telling your kids that you were moving across the ocean and that they could only take two bags each with them.  That is where our story starts.  You are going to love Noel and Rhoda's journey from Kenya to New Jersey and how they ended up at SOAR.  This couple is influencing their local community in a great way and we are grateful to call them friends.  In this podcast, they share some of their struggles and victories.  And I almost forgot, Noel had a heart monitor and didn't tell me!
