You're Not Qualified - A Podcast

Life gets in the way of our goals all of the time. We can't always be fully committed to all of our goals and aspirations - we also have commitments and.. well.. life. What is important, is that you honor the time your life needs, and the time your goals need, even if the amount you give to each category varies depending on your season of life. The key is consistency. Progress over perfection. Just get back to where you left off. The trail, the road, the mountains... they will all be there for you when you are back. And YOU will be there for you, present and ready to take it on again. Sean Robinson is back to talk all about his journey with navigating training, and life, and consistency.

All that matters is you keep going.

Understanding how you want to challenge yourself, grow, and contribute to the world are not easy decisions. Discovering your purpose is not something that typically happens overnight. This episode is designed to inspire you to find what sets your soul on fire and sprint after it, and there was no better person to explore this with than Cole Williams. Ms. Williams is a singer, songwriter, and founder of The Greater New Orleans Citizens Relief Team, a grassroots organization using citizens' rights to reclaim and renovate blighted properties with the houseless people that will live in them, while teaching marketable skills.

Find something you are good at, that you love, and serve others. You will find your purpose.

You need to go after it, and there is a good chance you will fail. There is also a good chance you will THRIVE. Most likely, you will fail. But after listening to this episode, you will pick the pieces back up and try again and again. Don't be afraid to fail - be afraid to never try.

In this conversation with Antone Wilson, Courtney dives deep into what it means to be successful, and what it means to push the boundaries of what you beleive to be possible. If you've been yearning for a reset, this is the episode for you. You said tomorrow yesterday.

I believe in you, so you should believe in you.

Life's toughest challenges mold us in profound ways. They have the power to shatter our spirits and throw monumental obstacles in our path. Amidst the rubble, the journey to rebuild takes various forms - relocating to unfamiliar cities, embracing new learning at school, or venturing to conquer the Seven Summits, where the pursuit of personal strength becomes a transformative odyssey. Today, we're privileged to hear Melanie's story, navigating through these towering peaks. She shares how adversity drove her into the mountains, where untamed landscapes offered solace and tests of resilience.

The Seven Summits beckon with their daunting heights across continents - from Aconcagua in South America to Everest in Asia. If these peaks initially seem insurmountable, know that Melanie's journey teaches us otherwise. This episode is for anyone who's glanced at this list and felt doubt creep in. Here's the truth: YES, you can.

How we feel about ourselves, and what we believe we can accomplish, drive just about every decision in our lives. If you are hardwired to tell yourself "I really can't do that... I don't have what it takes" - then this is the episode for you. Self esteem, especially in women, can feel like it is at arms length and impossible to reach. Let's rewrite that narrative with Gwendolyn, from the Good Is In The Details podcast.

Go do everything you think is "out of reach."

Mindset is everything in endurance sports. If you think to yourself - "I cannot do this, it is too hard" - guess what, that is not factual. That is your imposter syndrome talking. Your body can go a lot longer, and a lot harder, than your mind will allow you to believe. So... move around that hurdle. Need help? How about a mindset coach?

Courtney chats with Shannon Vit, a mindset coach for athletes. We cover how she helps athletes perform at their very best and overcome mental barriers, learn emotional regulation, resilience, and so much more.

Let's level up.

Cycling from Alaska to Argentina may seem like something a "normal" person could never do... but James Benson King is here to tell you - it IS something that YOU can do. Endrance cycling is not for the faint of heart, but around here we are brave and do things we aren't "qualified" for all the time. So, go find a cause that lights a fire in you and do something you never thought you could. Right after you listen to James' experience with cycling across continents for a cause close to him, of course.

Becoming a runner is the beginning of many people's journey into becoming active. It is approachable, and has a low startup cost - (sometimes) you buy some running shoes, and you literally head out the door or jump on an (ideally not moving yet) treadmill and get to setting one foot in front of the other in a faster fashion than you usually do. Running is the gateway to fitness for so many people. But WHERE does one start when they want to begin their journey with a bit more structure? Well, howabout a running club?

Courtney chats with Beth, founder of Running Evolution, a running group and business with a ton of resources in the Seattle area. There are options if you are not in Seattle as well, so this is for YOU too! If you want a structured plan for a "couch to 5K plan", or if you really just want a buddy to cry with when those miles really hit you hard, running clubs are where its at.

Our minds are weak - we want to take the easy way out. We don't want to suffer. If we want to pursue endurance sports, we need to learn more about this weakness, and learn how to work with it and, sometimes, around it.

Join Courtney as she chats with Rafael Hidalgo, finisher of the 100 mile UTMB course in Chamonix, France, about what it takes to become an ultra runner and compete on one of the largest running stages in the world. Let's become smarter than our brains.
