216. Case Kenny, Mindfulness Expert & Podcast Host Aug 08, 2022

Show notes

Today on the show, we're welcoming Case Kenny! He’s a writer, host of the New Mindset, Who Dis? podcast, and a mindfulness expert. You may recognize him from his inspirational "post-it" notes and coffee cup sleeves seen reposted all over social media. I wanted to have him on the show because I love his no-B.S. take on all things mindfulness, it’s super relatable and empowering. Today, we talk about his journey to getting to this place, leaving a job as a senior sales director at a tech firm in 2021 to pursue his passion project, with the goal to help others live happier, more fulfilling lives by changing their mindsets in all areas of life. From self worth and empowerment to dating and relationships, career advice — this episode is full of gems that had me nodding my head in agreement basically the entire time.

#HURDLEMOMENT: How to Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable Jul 27, 2022

Show notes

Today I’m re-upping my conversation with Michael Easter, author of the book The Comfort Crisis, Embrace Discomfort To Reclaim Your Wild, Happy, Healthy Self. He’s a contributing editor at Men’s Health, columnist for Outside magazine, and professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He's traveled the world researching the benefits of why it's important to get comfortable with the uncomfortable — going as far as trekking up to the Arctic to do just that. In today's episode, he shares his biggest takeaways from the other professors, adventurers, and researchers he spoke to along the way, helping us gain a better understanding of why we must break through the walls of our comfort zones and what to do if you get stuck along the way.

214. Emma Bates, Pro Marathoner Jul 25, 2022

Show notes

Emma Bates is familiar with hurdles. Within the last decade, she lost her father, went through a divorce, and uprooted her life to a new city to train with Team Boss. But through it all, she's perservered and chased her goals. In today's episode — recorded live at the World Athletic Championships — I sit down with Emma to talk about it all: Her backstory, how she persisted after the #hurdlemoment of her father's passing, and what it feels like to finally have solid female friendships and support for the first time in her life. We also recap her outstanding PR performance at the marathon in Eugene, what it feels like to be inspiring others, and what she's looking forward to next.
