Finding More Balance - TMWS21 Sep 05, 2023

It's been a while. I catch you up on what's happened since the last episode in May, including a few celebrations and a big lesson you can apply to your life.

I also announce the launch of the Find More Balance Network! It's a private membership community for growth-minded professionals who are ready to go after meaningful goals, live a healthier lifestyle, find inspiration to sustain progress, or simply interested in connecting with like-minded folks who are on their own health & wellbeing journeys.

The network kickoff event is on September 16th at 11am ET. It's a live session focused on what to know about taking a mental health leave from work. I explain more in this episode.

If you're serious about growth, let's get to work. Visit fmbnetwork.com.

Healing is forever (a storybook ending) - TMWS13 Jan 10, 2023

In this episode, I talk about reaching a critical milestone in my trauma healing journey, some lessons learned, and a storybook ending to a season of my life. If you're new, I encourage you to go back to the bonus episode released in Feb 2022 for context to what I'm talking about. There are other solo episodes along the way where I fill in gaps about the path to healing. If you've been around, this is probably the episode you've been waiting for. This one is the conclusion to vol. 1 of my story. And it really does have a storybook ending. Lastly, I'm back for the long haul. Those gaps you see between episodes will be no more. That'll make more sense when you listen. Holler at me on IG or Twitter @richrunstrack for thoughts and questions.

Mental Fitness and Investing in Self ft. Welcome Sarah Fletcher - TMWS09 Aug 03, 2022

As a Certified Wellness Coach, my goal is to help high-achieving professionals make better choices and live healthier lives. Because high performance doesn't mean you're well. If you're thinking of making a lifestyle change or better choices, or increasing your sense of wellbeing so you can show up more consistently across your life, maybe we should talk. My 1-on-1 coaching doors are open and you can schedule a free discovery call to see if I'm the right coach for you by visiting richrunstrack.com. Stop thinking, start doing. It's time.

--- This is Welcome Sarah's story...

I started to realize that there was some work to be done internally in order to create the life that I wanted externally. I went through a coaching program with the International Coach Federation and it changed my life. It taught me that I could control my own destiny and that I didn't need to rely on others to create the life that I wanted. Now, as an athlete and coach, I use those same principles to help myself and others create the lives that they want..

In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. The importance of mental fitness and how it can lead to a happier life

2. The power of coaching and how it can help you overcome difficult challenges

3. The benefits of being an athlete, including the ability to better manage your life and see incremental results.

I also share some recent challenges and how I'm planning to navigate them.
