TRIGGER WARNING: (A story is shared of the guest finding a friend who over-dosed in an attempt of suicide.) Meet the host of his own show, "Mann on the Mic" Jeffrey Mann! As our guest on the podcast this week, I dive into a conversation with this fellow podcaster whose vision is to bring more connection to people through the rich stories and experiences of others. Jeffrey had a unique childhood, born in Maryland, raised in Idaho, and lived a total of 7 years of his life in Zimbabwe and Ghana. His talent for Rugby helped him pave the way through college in the States. Within his job of Public Relations, hobby of fitness, and host of his own podcast, Jeffrey has embraced his journey of self discovery and has found his true authentic self. In this week's conversation Jeffrey offers practical advice on who to surround yourself with, how to show love/support to all and accept not always receiving that in return, and finally, how to embrace your life's story.

Maren Stafford is the mother of 7 boys, 1 girl, and currently head coach of the Mountain View Girls Wrestling team. She grew up living in many places with her father being in the military. Early on, she found an identity in sports as they got her through high school, college, and led her to her husband. From adapting to life in Germany for over a decade as a young mother, having years of experience in high level athletics, and learning resilience from parenting a full household, Maren was the perfect candidate to fill a coaching job for the Girls Wrestling Team down the street in 2019; but to her this was never plan A- in Maren’s words, “I got accidentally roped into this!” However, 6 years later she’s grown to love this role and what it’s taught her. From embracing a team of misfits, to building trust with her athletes, empowering all who walk onto the wrestling mat, and making sure they are heard and known, her message is to be heard by ALL who need the reminder that everyone needs to see others deeply- and in turn be deeply seen!
