In life we have these seasons that we don't alway recognize while we are in them, but man can we miss them when they are gone! This week on the podcast I go into some thoughts I have around seasons and what has been going on my life and what seasons may be approaching. My thoughts were a little all over the place, but hopefully, you pick up what I was putting down. Enjoy!

Sometimes it only takes a small opening for things to be blown wide open. This week on the podcast, I talk about how "giving an inch" can turn into much larger problems, if we compromise from the path we want to take. With each slight step off course, we will end up in a place that we had not imagined we would be. This doesn't always have to be negative, and hopefully, I can provide some encouragement and thoughts to help motivate you to keep fighting the good fight and staying focused on what matters.

It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but relationships can be hard. We all tend to put things on others, many times without their knowledge, and then get upset when they don't meet our expectations. Or maybe there was that situation where someone hurt you, so we play the victim card or turn to gossip to bring them down further. Then we have those relationships that blindside us and we don't know how to recover. This week on the show Kati has come back (for the fourth time!) to have this conversation about relationships. We go on a journey talking about relationships from multiple aspects.

Just like every other episode she has been on, we could go on talking for hours and end up covering a handful of micro-topics within the larger. I'd love to hear, and I'm sure Kati would also, what you took away from our discussion and your input in the matter. Reach out to us on the socials to connect, but in the meantime I hope you enjoy the episode!

Have you ever read an article or watched a video and it makes you stop and think? You take the message from it and soak it in, trying to understand how you can apply it to your life. This week on the show I talk about one of those moments, well actually a few of them that happened around the same time. Josh Lynott (whom I called John early in the episode) has a project called “A Note to the Runners” and one of his videos had me thinking. Then the overall flow of leaving a note to myself and how my new habit of journalling has helped me do just that.

I talk about my ideas around the notes I leave myself and how they play into a larger picture of purpose and perspective. I hope you enjoy and more importantly, get something from this episode. All the reels I mentioned in the episode are listed below.

So this episode was supposed to come out weeks ago, but... Let me stop myself right there! This is the problem; I instantly use an excuse instead of taking ownership of poor planning, time management, etc. This week on the show, I talk about excuses. I break down some reasons why I think we make excuses and talk through some ways to combat that instinct. This episode is one of those where I'm definitely talking to myself, but I hope you also have something to walk away with. Enjoy!

We have all had those relationships where we feel like maybe we are giving a little bit more than the other, but we just don't know what we should do. Do we hold back to balance things out or do we press on and continue as everything is okay? I don't think there is a right answer to this question but maybe we need to look at the question in a different light. This week on the show my good friend Deb joins me to talk all about relationships and how we show up in them. You are getting an insight into our monthly conversations where we start with work and then quickly pivot into three different topics at once!

I hope you can learn something new or at least think about your relationships in a different light after listening to this. Enjoy!

Relationships are tough! Whether we are talking about romantic relationships or not, we must do things to make them work. This week on the show, Kaela joins me in discussing how to come together in a relationship to make it work. We talk about the importance of communication, serving others and a few other aspects that we believe to be important to having strong relationships. We talk through some of our past "discussions," and hopefully, you find some humor and some nuggets of info that you can bring to your relationships.

Sometimes life changes on us quickly and we have to adjust. That adjustment may not come as fast as we would like, but we have to continue after it, consistently to see the results in the long run. This week, Courtney joins me on the podcast to discuss her story and journey into running. We talk about identity, finding balance, relationships and a handful of other topics. Enjoy!
