We're diving deep into the world of running, marathons, and everything in between. From the highs of crossing that finish line to the lows of shin splints, we've spilled the tea on how running can change your life. Even if you aren’t a runner, you will take inspiration to push to that next finish line.
We're not just here to talk about pounding the pavement, though. We're sharing all things fitness and our mindset around our bodies, from dealing with the Instagram comparison game to finding our groove in the gym.
Jess and I get real about the mental side of things, too. Chatting about body image, motherhood, and how running has helped us tackle some of life's curveballs head-on. Including her taking on marathons after her divorce, the first one without training beforehand.
Hold my beer! I got this!
Jess is also giving us some tips for staying hydrated during those long runs and picking the perfect pair of running shoes.
So, grab your headphones and join us and be prepared to be inspired and to have a new look on running for pleasure. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or just thinking about dipping your toes into the running world, we've got something for everyone.

Somatic therapy is like a fusion of psychology and getting in touch with your body’s vibes. Today, Jennie Pool from Mend Counseling is spilling the tea on how to use simple somatic techniques to work through anxiety and depression.
Your body is a storage unit for all the stuff life throws at you, good and bad. And sometimes, we need to shake off some of this survival energy! That's where somatic therapy comes in to save the day.
Forget about cookie-cutter therapy approaches. Somatic therapy is all about finding what works for you and your body. Maybe it's some tapping, a little movement there, or even just a big yawn. It’s a simple, personalized journey for your body's healing.
And, hey, have you heard about psychedelic-assisted therapy? Yeah, it's the new wave, but you have the right person facilitating the experience. If done correctly, these can release a lot of stored trauma and allow space for new patterns, behaviors, and things to come into your life.
At Mend Counseling Center in St. George, Utah, Jennie uses somatic therapy to take center stage. With a focus on progressive modalities, Mend offers both in-person and telehealth sessions, recognizing the accessibility and efficacy of somatic techniques beyond the confines of a physical office. As interest in somatic therapy grows, Mend remains at the forefront, providing therapists and clients with the tools and training needed to move through stuck trauma patterns.
So, if you're ready to untangle the mess of life's craziness and dig into serious healing, somatic therapy might just be what you are looking for.
Join us as we break open somatic therapy.

Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a cycle of stress and anxiety, despite being told to just take a pill and power through it?
The pain of feeling overwhelmed and burned out is all too real when traditional solutions fall short. But what if there's a holistic approach that can bring balance and resilience back into your life?
Find out how acupuncture could be the missing piece in your journey to well-being as we are joined by Janene Borandi, a knowledgeable acupuncturist with a PhD. Feeling burnt out and unfulfilled, she knew something had to change. Janene shares with us how she left her “cushy” government job that left her feeling empty to pursue a career that filled her cup.
With a career in holistic healthcare, she has a desire to address stress and anxiety through alternative approaches and change the way medicine is practiced. Things need to be looked at from a holistic perspective, not a textbook perspective. And that starts with understanding who you are an what you want in your life.
In this unhinged conversation we dig into the significance of mental health in holistic healing and offers strategies for avoiding burnout, particularly relevant for female entrepreneurs seeking a balanced approach to well-being.
Let’s embrace the human experience and join in advocating for Holistic Medicine!

This has been a game-changer in my life, and I think you need to start doing this too. I’m talking about giving ourselves the damn permission we deserve to have what we desire. I've been on this wild ride of self-discovery, realizing how much I've held back, all thanks to that pesky inner mean girl.
You know that little voice? Yeah, the one that says, "No, Sam, you're not good enough for that."
Well, I've learned to kick that voice to the curb and take charge of my own destiny. It's all about letting ourselves have what we want without the guilt, shame, or going through that exhausting cycle. Because we are awesome!
I'm spilling the glitter on my own experiences and sharing about the times I held back, the fears that almost stopped me, and how I learned to shut down that negative self-talk. And guess what? You can do it too!
No matter where you are in life, it's time to ask yourself, "Is this what I really want?" Spoiler alert: You're a grown-ass adult, and you can do whatever the heck you want.
We're breaking free from societal expectations, embracing the power of saying, "Yes, I'm going all in." From my wild dreams of breeding million-dollar chickens while flying our jets around, we are in this together.
So, how do you really end these cycles?
It’s about creating space, checking in, taking action, holding yourself accountable, and repeating it forever. Trust me; this isn't just another motivational talk because you’ve heard enough of those by now.
It's real, it's raw, and it's time for you to give yourself permission to be the main character in your dream life!
So, buckle up, baddies, as we conquer that inner mean girl and design a life that screams, "Hell yeah, this is what I want!
