    Trials and Tribulations | Cuts, Cardio, and Conversation (S12E8)

    In this episode of Cuts, Cardio, and Conversation we dig into the trials and tribulations that shaped us. Jackie shares a story about a roommate who taught her that when people tell you who they are, believe them. Ashley reflects on her brother training for an Ironman and the simple reminder to just do the thing and give yourself permission to try. Jerry brings in a look at the Blue Zones and how community shapes longevity. We laughed, we learned, and yes, we probably said “trials and tribulations” ten times before the intro ended. Tune in for real talk, real stories, and a reminder that you always come out better when you keep going.
