Evan is more than his abilities as an ultra runner—he's a proud partner, father, friend, and former emergency services professional. His journey into ultra running began in 2017, a pivotal shift from a two-decade career that left him broken but resilient.
In this episode Dr. Jody and Evan chat candidly about PTSD and how working in the first responder really is. Evan tells us how running (amongst other work) helped save him.
After years of selfless service, he confronted his struggles with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Through intensive therapy and countless miles on the trail, he found healing and purpose. He no longer ran away; he ran towards joy, showing others that there's always a path forward. Sharing his story is both terrifying and empowering, but it's through vulnerability that true strength emerges. Together, let's break the silence, embrace shared experiences, and remind each other that it's okay not to be okay.

In this podcast Dr. Jody and Sam dig into the heavy stuff about being present and your body's alignment when going through hard things. Sam has an incredible light that we were all so drawn to and has taught us and so many others the importance of community.
Sam Taylor has a bunch of identifiers she's picked up along the way like mom, wife, writer, yoga instructor - also on the list is fiercely loyal friend and adept matchmaker (that applies to romantic set-ups and also finding you the best plumber). She is a lifelong advocate for the underdog, and never passed a wild lilac bush without sticking her entire head into it.
Lately though, her label has been cancer mom. In the summer of 2022 her 10yr old daughter was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma. Almost two years post treatment, her daughter is on the other side and now Sam's need is to make sure every oncology parent finds their life preservers - so The Deep C Podcast began. A space where Sam speaks to other cancer parents and shares these hard, enlightening and heroic stories.
