Some people wake up one day and realize
they’ve been fighting their own body for years.

Not loudly.
Just constantly.

Through control.
Through correction.
Through quiet disappointment.

This episode sits beside that tension
and calls a ceasefire.

We talk about making peace with your body,
recognizing how much it has carried you through,
and learning to trust what it’s been doing all along.

You’ll also hear a Trailblazer on the Rise
that’s deeply personal.

A story about presence.
Belonging.
And the moment that shaped how movement, health,
and leadership show up in a life.

Not about fixing.
Not about proving.

Just listening.

If this conversation helped you feel a little steadier in your own skin,
that counts.

Make today incredible.

Some people look back at who they were and only see what didn’t happen.

Some people quietly wonder, if they let their younger self down.

This episode sits beside that story

and loosens it.

We talk about letting go of shame,

recognizing the invisible work of adulthood, and reframing success as steadiness instead of perfection.

You’ll also meet Stacey, this week’s Trailblazer on the Rise.

An original Trailblazer.

A woman who shows how daily habits, movement, and purpose, shape a life you can trust, one decade at a time.

Not flashy.

Not rushed.

Just consistent.

If this conversation helped you see yourself more clearly,

that counts.

Make today incredible.

Some people feel pressure to have it all figured out.
Some people sense that this chapter matters more than they’re being told.

This episode is for that moment.

The one where you pause long enough to wonder
what your future self will actually remember
and what she’ll be grateful you didn’t rush.

This episode isn’t advice.
It’s perspective.

A letter from your 70-year-old self
reminding you that the small choices you make quietly
are already shaping the life she gets to live.

You’ll also meet Dana, this week’s Trailblazer on the Rise.
Balancing work, family, doubt, and responsibility.
Showing up anyway.
Discovering that once you see what you’re capable of,
it’s hard to unsee it.

Not because she was pushed.
Because she paid attention.

If this conversation slowed you down, that counts.

Make today incredible.

January 1st gets a lot of credit it didn’t earn.

It’s just a day on the calendar.
No special permission.
No magic reset.

This episode is about letting go of the idea that change has to wait for the “right time” and remembering that momentum usually starts on very ordinary days.

We talk about why waiting can quietly train us to doubt ourselves, and why small, steady decisions tend to matter more than big declarations.

You’ll also meet Jan, our newest Trailblazer on the Rise.
Turning 60 in 2026.
Inspired by watching her niece complete the Broken Ruck.
Choosing to step toward challenge instead of waiting for a perfect moment.

Nothing flashy.
Nothing forced.
Just someone deciding to show up.

If you’ve been feeling the urge to reset but don’t want another hype cycle, this one’s for you.

If you want to stay connected:
The weekly newsletter is where I share the same steady conversations we have here,  reflections, movement, and reminders that don’t rush you.

You’re welcome anytime.
No pressure.

Make today incredible,
Dane

The Comeback Queen Mindset: From Surviving to Thriving

Some people are surviving midlife.
Some people are quietly realizing that survival isn’t enough anymore.

This episode is about that moment.

We talk about the shift from getting through your days
to choosing how you want to live them.

You’ll also meet Tonya, our first Trailblazer on the Rise.
Pacemaker.
Double Achilles repairs.
Running the Rocky steps at 57.

Not because life got easier.
Because she decided she wasn’t done.

If this conversation steadied you, that counts.

Adventure Is the Goal: Why Fitness Is Just the Starting Line

The gym is not the destination. It is the training ground. In this episode, Coach Dane explains why fitness is just the starting line and how focusing on adventure instead of aesthetics creates lasting motivation. You will meet Jill, this week’s Trailblazer on the Rise, who took the 75 Days Done Right experience and turned it into a lifestyle. She bought her ruck backpack, shows up to live workouts, and already committed to joining the Playa del Carmen Experience in January. Jill proves that when you commit to health and joy in midlife, you build the strength to explore.

👉 Listen now, reframe your fitness, and start training for life’s real adventures.

Why adventure goals fuel consistency better than aesthetic goals

How Jill built a foundation beyond 75 Days Done Right

Three upgrades to shift your training toward purpose and exploration

This week’s challenge to get you living adventure-ready right now

Jill took on the 75 Days Done Right and has chosen to keep going. She bought her backpack, added weights, and shows up every week for live workouts. She is not just training for 75 days, she is training for life. Jill is also joining us in Playa del Carmen in January, proving that when you commit to health and adventure, you create a lifestyle that lasts.

“The gym isn’t the destination. Life is the adventure you’re training for.”

Shift your training toward adventure with these three steps:

Set an adventure goal that excites you.

Train with purpose and ask, “Will this help me explore more?”

Add rucking into your life to build strength, grit, and confidence.

Write down your adventure goal. Then move for 20 minutes — walk, hike, or ruck — while focusing on it. Share a photo and your goal inside the Trailblazer Tribe with the caption: “I am training for adventure.”
