    Client Spotlight - Melanie Richman

    In this episode, I interview Melanie Richman as she shares her fitness journey & lessons from the past 16 months in the Return of the Athlete program.
    She's a badass woman whose accomplishments include: climbing Mt. Rainier, running a half-marathon, and multiple physique competitions. She's a great example of someone identifying a goal, chasing it, realizing the goal, and then reassessing what her next mission is.
