Christie Bruner is an entrepreneur, swim coach, trainer, Girls on the Run coach, MRTT leader, healthy school advocate, Community Engagement Supervisor for Healthy St Pete, wife & mom of three daughters. That is a lot for one person to take on in this world. As you listen to Christie and start to understand her philosophy on life, you'll see how she does it - by prioritizing the most important things and carving off everything else that doesn't align. I met Christie at the Skirt Sports Half Marathon about six years ago - she was drawn to our message of positivity and inclusivity. The funny thing is that we grew up in the same town, both hard core swimmers, with a lifelong focus on health and fitness. Christie is a Skirt ambassador who passionately shares her health and fitness philosophy with everyone around her. Her focus has expanded from personal health goals to advocating for her daughters so that they too will have access to the things that help form a foundation for lifelong wellness. The trick when advocating for others is to make sure you don't lose track of yourself along the way. I think you'll appreciate Christie's approach to all of this and more.

 163 - Mirna Valerio Leans Into Joy | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:32:27

Mirna Valerio is back for her sixth appearance on the podcast. What makes this woman so special? It could be her courage to step beyond perceived limitations to tackle the impossible. It could be her unapologetic approach to her unconventional lifestyle. It could be that she welcomes all into her fold. It could be that she's just so damn smart, funny and nonjudgmental. I'll make it easy and just say - all of the above! This episode is being aired at a very unique time. We are literally weeks into the global Coronavirus pandemic that is spreading like wildfire and has created fear, anxiety, and depression. Events are canceled, travel is suspended, businesses are closing, people are getting laid off, schools are closed and families have been advised to stop interacting with others. It's not looking good at the moment. We have literally never seen anything like this before, and I hope we never will again. This is exactly when we need to hear from people who bring us joy. People who find the positive, the opportunity, in the chaos. People who make us smile. This is when we need to hear from Mirna. We talk about a huge range of topics related to the current state of the world and then I just ask her to share some stories that will create some positivity.

 162 - Ali Kearney's Journey from Self Harm to Self Love | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:10:35

Trigger warning: This episode contains discussions about self-injury and disordered eating. Ali Kearney is gorgeous, vibrant, healthy and entrenched in the world of running and fitness. When she smiles, it blinds everyone around her with love, light and positivity. Like so many of us, you would never guess the struggles she has endured to get here. That is, unless she's wearing a bikini and you can see the actual scars she bears. Ali spent much of her formative teen years and early 20s battling depression and anxiety. Here's how she coped; by cutting herself. And later, by adopting restrictive eating. It wasn't until she found the power and freedom of running that she moved out of her self destructive patterns and into the positive life she leads today. Ali is a Skirt Sports Ambassador - she's been on our bandwagon so long that she is now considered a Legacy Ambassador, part of the community because she loves our message of encouragement and inclusiveness. As I have gotten to know her, I understand this more than ever. She felt so alone for so many years, that the power of a group of women supporting each other is exactly what she needs now. I find it so inspiring to truly understand Ali's path out of the dark and into the light. Today we talk about the following and so much more: Depression and Anxiety: How it can manifest as a child - in her case due to a major move during a difficult age Body image: At 11, she gained weight due to celiac diagnosis which while improved her health, added to her conflicted self image How she found and used cutting as a release for her anxiety Why and how she finally stopped cutting Coping mechanism transfer: From cutting to restrictive eating Positive relationships are critical to moving forward Overcoming childhood perceptions of ourselves: Ali was diagnosed with asthma as a child so running wasn't really an option Running became her new outlet - in a very positive way: "I never used running to inflict harm on my body." Apps to help when the urge strikes: Calm Harm app The catharsis of writing: Check out her blog!

 161 - Pelvic Floor 101 with Carolyn Yates Plus Incontinence, Kegels & Orgasms | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:24:18

Carolyn Yates is a healer - of an area that many women are afraid to talk about - pelvic floors. When we first chatted about the upcoming interview, she said, "Women should not have to suffer in silence about their pelvic floors." I agree - time to end the suffering! The only way to do that is to have open, candid conversations about body parts that can be very uncomfortable to discuss. It's funny - I've always had a bit of an aversion to using medical terms for various body parts and functions. Today we get into all of them: Vaginas, the uterus, rectums, feces, orgasms, urine, you name it. The pelvic floor is the the center of the conversation, and as it turns out, our bodies! Carolyn gives a visual demo of how to locate your pelvic floor during the conversation and we say kegel a lot which will make you feel like you're getting a workout just listening, because who doesn't immediately kegel when you hear the word kegel? Today we cover: How Carolyn became a Pelvic Floor Therapist : the crazy nature of group classes with student exams The Obtrator Internus: A hip stabilizer that can only be accessed internally (vaginally or rectally) What pelvic floor therapy (PFT) is: What you can expect if you go to a PFT Who can benefit from PFT: It's not just for old women or women who have given birth Athletes and pregnancy: How to prep your body for birth from a pelvic floor perspective After birth: How to get rolling again - check out her Return to Run Program here Prolapse: What it is and how to treat it Orgasms: How pelvic floor therapy can make your orgasms better Periods: Ways to limit the discomfort through PFT Incontinence: Stress, Urge and Mixed And a bunch of prying questions about Carolyn's personal life: Relationships, running, dancing, and more To get some more of Carolyn, check out: Her website veritypt.org Instagram @verity_ptw Facebook @verityptw Her Youtube channel

 160 - "You are the One You've Been Waiting For" with Julie Piatt | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 01:31:35

I became aware of Julie Piatt and the amazing things she is doing to make this world a better place through a person she calls her polar opposite, her husband, Rich Roll, episode 122 "Rich Roll on the Other Side of the Mic." So it's not surprising that we start by launching into the power of attraction, friction, and her ultimate realization that in order to best love and support her husband, she needed to separate herself from his journey. I'm getting ahead of myself, but that's what it feels like to chat with Julie. I went into the interview with a whole list of topics I thought we might cover, but as we embarked on each one, so many new topics presented themselves that I had trouble keeping up. I realized that I needed to separate myself from the interview and just let Julie shine bright - this is her gift to the world. Julie Piatt is an old soul who was born waiting for the time that she could break free to follow her own path. Her maternal grandfather was a Chilean energy healer; as she says, "We all know one person like me." She's a born healer who herself has been healing and growing and sharing her energy with anyone lucky enough to come across her. I realized partway through this interview that all I needed to do was give her the room to share her wisdom on a range of topics. We could have talked for another hour, but I'll save all those other topics (& the ones I don't even know about yet) for a future episode. Today she shares the following and so much more: Marriage: Her journey with Rich Roll How polar opposites can create the most rewarding union Letting go of the dream that we have to live the same path as our partner & embracing that our journeys can be different Divine Love is like the sun: It loves everything in creation without judgment Her growth experiences during a nine year period of financial collapse Learning how to receive & learning how to give Her DFO (Don't Freak Out) philosophy Motherhood: Be open to the lessons your kids are teaching you Her childhood in Alaska as the youngest of five children Born-again Christian at 11, experimenting with drugs at 12, done with all that at 16 How we can help those we know who are suffering Her passionate thoughts on why we need to stop consuming meat and dairy: check out Paul Hawken's Project Drawdown. Plant eating is the #4 way we can reverse global warming Srimu: It's not just a Not Cheese Company - Do Life. Not Cheese. Damanhur Retreats (and others): For people who are ready to uncover their spiritual missions And so much more I believe Julie's special talent is to help others uncover their special talents - and this all starts with remembering who we are at the core so we can live our authentic life missions. After hearing this episode, you may need some time to absorb. There are many messages that hit home.

 159 - "What's the Best That Can Happen?" plus CBD, Brain Injuries & More with Pamela Robichaud | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 01:20:57

Pamela Robichaud is many things: Physical therapist, entrepreneur, athlete, road warrior, daughter, sister, wife and lover of spuds. Pamela and I go way back. I met her when she was a Skirt Ambassador, recruited by her husband Jon Robichaud (note: men don't usually recruit women to our brand!). The funny thing is that she quit being an ambassador to go on a year-long road trip - a life-changing experience prompted by many things including their decision to stop trying to have kids and a very scary bike crash. Big decisions often happen when we go through events that bring us perspective. In this case, they decided it was time to take a different road. They bought a camper van and went on the road for a year. Today I know Pamela mostly for her work as a body healer and entrepreneur. She and Jon took their passion for health and fitness as they became founding members of iKor, a Boulder-based CBD brand focused on helping endurance athletes recover better. CBD is a big buzzword these days, but there is still a lot of misconception around what it actually is and how it can help us. We cut through the hype and get to the heart of the matter. CBD is very personal; people take it for all sorts of reasons and with a range of results. From there we go on a fun ride of topics that resonate with just about everyone on some level including (but not limited to!): Startup life: iKor Labs is working to make athletes' lives better CBD in all its glory: Basic scientific background, recovery, sleep, anxiety, depression and other benefits iKor products: Daily, Topical, Recovery Shots iKor discount: Use code RecoverBetter for 20% off! Placebo effects and why they aren't a bad thing either way Boundaries: how she learned to protect hers Brain injuries & how they can affect an entire family: Pamela's brother, Nicolas, and his accident 15 years ago Physical Therapy: What led Pamela to pursue this career Her work at Koa Fit with the amazing Brenna Backe Relationships: the long, winding road of Pamela's great love story Changing direction on one of life's big topics: Kids The Boston Bombing Being tickled, spuds and more Pamela is smart, funny, real, compassionate and badass. She's someone we could all use a little more of in our lives.

 158 - Remember to Breathe with Melissa Wolak | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 01:35:24

I reached out to Melissa Wolak because I wanted to get someone on the show who could talk about habits. I read "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg a few years ago and I've been intrigued by the concept of creating positive habits and eliminating unhelpful habits so we can live happier lives. It seems to me that if we really want to achieve something or make meaningful change in our lives, we need to make sometimes difficult changes, and let's face it, change is one of the hardest concepts for people to embrace. Melissa is a transformational and mindset coach. Sounds fancy, but it's really simple. Her mission is to help you build a foundation for change that will empower you no matter how you choose to dance on your path and what rhythm you go with. She can help you find your path, stay on your path, or develop tools to blaze your path in a bigger way. I love Melissa's approach. She is practical, empowering, gentle when needed and incredibly mindful. Today we talk about: Pause and Breathe: This theme is repeated many times through the episode. This is the key to forward change as it precedes the most important concept - Awareness. How does one become a transformational and mindset coach? Melissa's career path from speech language cognitive therapy to life coach Her long, winding path to understanding gut health: gluten intolerance caused many other issues Habit change in all its glory: baby steps What the heck is mindfulness? Melissa's definition "Being present in the moment without judgment or criticism" When the teacher becomes the student: Melissa's concussion and recovery Her three nonnegotiable habits: Diet, Outside time, Gratitude And so much more If you take one thing away from this episode it is this: Pause. Breathe. Check in with yourself. Why are you feeling the way you feel? Get to the bottom of it before you take the next action. Pause. Breathe. Check in. Pause Breathe. Check in. I know I will be working on implementing this new habit. Let me know if you are too! For more Melissa, check her out here! Work with Melissa Instagram @melissahwolak Facebook Melissa.h.wolak

 157 - "I Have to Love Myself" - Tunde Borrego on Relapse, Sex, Affairs & Yoga | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 01:23:32

I met Tunde Borrego at Core Power Yoga. It was my second ever yoga class, Tunde was my instructor, and I remember thinking to myself, "I'm not sure what the heck is going on, but there's something about this woman." After class, she told me, "Just give me three tries before you decide if you like me. Well guess what? I like Tunde. A lot. I realized that at each class I really looked forward to her energy and the freedom to simply be me in class. Each time she taught, Tunde was share a new insight about herself and each time she shared, I thought, "There is so much more to this woman than I ever imagined." Finally I told her about my podcast and asked her to come on the show. The cool thing about this episode is that I didn't know Tunde's background beforehand. All I knew were the snippets she shared in class and my gut feeling that we would have an awesome conversation. I promise it does not disappoint. Today we talk about: Relationships: Marriage, affairs, divorce and more Alcoholism: becoming sober and relapsing Sex Sex and more Sex

 156 - Lauren Beihoffer - It's Never Too Late to Take Care of You | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 01:18:16

Lauren Beihoffer Runs Wild. That's her instagram handle - and it perfectly sums up the path her life has taken. She is a complex woman with many layers that are often outside of her control. Lauren is a depression and anxiety warrior, a mom of three boys (two of whom are adopted from other countries) and a runner. These three pillars have wound around each other over the years, ultimately shaping who she is today. We have a great conversation that flows through the course of Lauren's life, uncovering many of the pivotal moments, bigger decisions she's made and how she has not only endured but truly thrived. One of the things I find incredibly critical is that even as she navigated her young child's depression and anxiety, she had never reached out for help with her own. It wasn't until last year when she started a course of therapy, meds & running (definitely running!) that she has found a place of understanding and peace within herself. I think you will appreciate Lauren's openness and candor with topics and experiences that can be difficult and often controversial. Today we talk about: Motherhood: making the decision to adopt The adoption process: Specifically for her sons River from Vietnam and Avi from Hong Kong Getting pregnant biologically after she was told it wouldn't happen! Choosing to minimize her career as a biochemist and focus on parenting The truth of the phrase "I didn't know what I was getting into" as it applies to adoption, specifically a child with special needs Having a biological baby when everyone already thinks of you as a mom and you don't know what you're doing! Depression and anxiety as a child Getting treatment for depression and anxiety as an adult Meds: the controversy Managing marriage through the muck: The "Sit and Wait" approach Running as one of her greatest joys The Trail Sloth: "I'm not fast but I will always finish."

 155 - Laura Bergmann Helps You Get Unstuck | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 01:22:54

I came across Laura Bergmann through former guest Betsy Hartley who told me she had heard Laura speak and was blown away at the work she is doing to help people get moving again. Laura is a Fascia Warrior. She is on the front lines of a field of work that has largely been untapped in the world of exercise physiology. What is fascia? This is how Laura describes it on her website: A Magical Matrix Of Awesome! Fascia is a sensory organ.  Fascia is very densely woven, covering and interpenetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein, as well as, all of our internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord. Laura stumbled into this field through her own physical struggles, from people telling her she couldn't do things like run, so she decided to figure out how she COULD. Multiple degrees and many triathlons and marathons later, Laura is one of the leading fascia workers in our country. She's not only trained to help our bodies heal, but she takes a holistic approach that includes our emotional and spiritual selves. Today you'll hear about all of this and more: Therapy animals Oxytocin: how this hormone is important to multiple aspects of our lives Getting to the root of the issue: the pain is usually just the side effect and not the cause Cellular life is dependent on...water (Cell life) Fascia Fascia Fascia Treat your body when you know something's not right; not after it all blows up Become your own advocate Hardware vs Software (anatomically speaking) Body awareness is the key The Aging Athlete: Why Less is OK Do your best TODAY! Laura is a very motivational person. I believe that Laura is driven by a pure and total belief in the work she does - in her case, it started with patient zero - herself. She found something wonderful that helped make her life better and she learned how to share this gift with so many others. For more on Laura or to work with her directly, please visit her website and follow her on social. Laura recommends some resources for all who are interested in learning more! Fascia What Is It And Why It Matters, David Lesondak Functional Fascia Training with BlackRoll, Lutz Graumann Fascial Fitness, Robert Schliep Functional Atlas of the Human Fascial System, Carla Stecco She is available to teach a master class for trainers, coaches, regular public, and practitioners on self myofascial release and corrective exercise homework and training fascially. Contact her for more info. Check out BlackRoll tools for self fascia work. She uses them on herself so highly recommended! Allright that's it for today. You know what time it is. It's time to get out there and run this world. Have a great workout and we'll see you next week!

 154 - Ian Powell Lost his Grip and Found it Again: Drugs, Prison, Climbing & Creation | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 01:49:13

I met Ian Powell over four years ago when we were trying to sublet our offices in Boulder. There was something about him that struck me as different, so I went home and googled him. This is what I found - a 2013 article by Caroline Treadway in Rock & Ice that begins like this, "Ian Powell hit bottom three years ago on Thanksgiving in a dumpster near Denver. Huddled under a layer of trash, he was freezing, dope-sick and hadn’t eaten for days." Turns out Ian has led an extremely interesting life, so interesting that it may be a miracle that he's still with us today. You would think that after reading about his brushes with death and destruction, drugs and prison, I may elect to NOT rent our space to him, but the opposite was actually true. I was both intrigued by his sordid past and inspired by his ability to turn it all around. I didn't even have a podcast yet, but I knew that one day I would need to learn more about his story. Ian is the founder of Kilter Grips - a Boulder company that makes grips for climbing walls. If you've ever climbed in an indoor gym, you have quite possibly touched a hold designed by Ian. Kilter is widely regarded to be one of the best grip companies in the world, and Ian is widely regarded as one of the best shapers. What makes his work so special is that he is actually an artist. Yes, he wants to make great hand holds. Yes, he wants to have a successful company. Yes, it would be great if he made money. But he does this work because he is called to it. He is an artist at heart and crafting climbing holds is the purest form of art to him.  Ian grew up in a dysfunctional family. He landed in Waco, Texas, where he barely graduated high school and became obsessed with climbing. After high school he made his way to Boulder, Colorado, and started working in the climbing industry. But somewhere along the way, as he started to see success as a shaper and later a fine artist, Ian discovered drugs. Being the all-in guy he is, Ian's path led to full-on drug addiction, homelessness and criminal activity. Ian was eventually busted and sentenced to time in prison. It wasn't until he was locked up that he finally kicked his addiction and got healthy.  2020 marks TEN years since Ian left prison to restart his life. Our conversation is one of my favorites. Ian is incredibly humble about his difficult past. He openly shares his mistakes and all the lessons he's learned from them. He knows how quickly life can change and I think he is navigating his path with an intensity that you can only have when you know what's on the other side. Today we talk about: Podcasts: He wanted to let you know that he listens to more than Terry Gross, Adam Carolla and Joe Rogan! Climbing: Route-setting, Shaping & other cool technical stuff Creating: This is a big theme throughout our conversation. Creating businesses. Creating fine art. Creating holds. Creating things that give us purpose. Finding the flow state: in work, in life, in art Early childhood experiences: His father's suicide and how his mother showed her love and support Discovering climbing: his first passion Starting eGrips: ludicrous tales of being a young entrepreneur  Discovering drugs: How quickly his life fast-forwarded down a destructive path Homeless and degenerate in Denver Prison: I literally ask, "What was prison like?" You must listen to this part. Turning his life around after prison Kilter and Jackie And so much more This is an absolutely gripping episode. It's one thing to survive the experiences Ian has survived. It's another thing to be able to share openly and humbly so that others may learn something and find some inspiration to help them move through their own difficulties. In the end, I love Ian's final nugget. It's all about creating for the pure joy and fulfillment of creation. With no attachment to the outcome. I hope you listen today with no attachment, just let the messages flow and find your own zen state while they do.

 153 - Jen Rockstar Szabo "What's the Worst that Could Possibly Happen?" | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 01:25:21

"Be your inner rockstar." Jen Rockstar Szabo adopted this phrase in the last decade as she's dealt with divorce, anxiety and depression, body acceptance, debilitating injuries and more. To Jen, being your inner rockstar is about shining a spotlight on the moments of your life that we don't openly talk about. It's not about hiding parts of ourselves, but embracing them, or as she says, "Giving them a hug and inviting them in for a cup of tea." Jen is an adult onset athlete. In 2004 she was duped into going to a meeting for a local running group. She tried to walk out the door, but a welcoming hand on her shoulder changed the course of her life (thanks Scott Fliegelman!). Jen is one of my favorite people. We've been palling around for about 15 years, brought together by Skirt Sports when we did an early fashion show at our local Fleet Feet store. You may have seen one of our widely acclaimed triathlon transition videos

 152 - Macy Matarazzo Helps Women Discover Unicorn Love | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 01:14:14

Macy Matarazzo is a love coach. She helps smart, single, spiritually conscious women find the kind of love they never thought existed... but it does. She calls it unicorn love and it's available to all of us. We just have to do a little work to open up to it. Macy fell into this career through her own life experiences, self-enlightenment and a passionate calling to help others discover what she was able to find. The first and most important thing that is missing when people struggle in relationships is the ability to be 100% yourself. It seems to easy, but being ourselves, embracing who we truly are, is really difficult for so many reasons. It can require work to shed the walls and limitations that we've built over many years of our lives. Today Macy has a thriving coaching business called Love Muffin Coaching, she puts on Love Camp (anyone can join), she broadcasts free advice and entertainment on her Reverend Lunch Lady Love Vibe TV Youtube channel, she does Dead Old Lady Secret Recipe Tarot Readings and most of all, she brings joy to people who are ready to receive it. Today we talk about: Love in all forms Macy's love story: How she met "Laserbeam Larry" (my chiropractor) & shed her facades for good Techniques to help women open up to love including RIM (Regenerating Images in Memory) How to be true to who we really are Why love coaching? Dead Old Lady Secret Recipe Tarot Readings: One for me and one for you (our listeners) Online dating: How to navigate this world sanely Checklist: What do we need to commit to for ourselves?

I recently opened an account on Patreon so that listeners can support me if they feel compelled to do so. All right then, you know what time it is. It's time to get out there and Run This World. Have a great workout and I'll see you next week.

 151 - Olympic Hopeful Nell Rojas' Strength is her Strength | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 01:14:13

I met Nell Rojas the day I interviewed her but I felt like I'd known her for a while. I guess I have by proxy. Her dad, Ric Rojas, is a renowned running coach and a former world class runner himself. He's been coaching athletes for a long time, ever since he informally coached his own high school track team in 1970 when he won the National High School Indoor Mile (yes, he'd be a great guest on the show too). So it's no wonder that he produced not only an incredible athlete, but an even more exceptional person. Nell is a late-start marathon runner - and it suits her. At 32, she qualified handily for the Olympic Marathon Trials in her first marathon ever. Then she followed it up with a 2:28 win at her second marathon and a top 15 ranking in the US. We all have interesting and often winding paths to the things we were meant to pursue. Nell is no different, but the really intriguing part of her story is that her success and ability to tap into her greatness seem to be happening almost by mistake - or maybe by default! Like there's a grand master plan that she is just stepping into at the exact time she's supposed to. Even though she's relatively young, she has a very articulate way of sharing the lessons she's learned. You can understand why she is a coach herself, developing her own style - a unique combination of her dad's influence and her own experiences. Today we talk about: Strength: physical, mental, all of it! Strength training: Why she has been strength training since middle school & how it sets her apart from her running peers Being the prodigy of a champion athlete: the role of her dad in her life Her philosophy: It's not about long miles She doesn't run doubles!!! Burnout: what this is and how to get through it Eating disorders and body image: Moving beyond the disorder into true self love Reframing the negative & learning to lead with the positive What it means to be the best you can be Saying goodbye to ego and how that allows you to find your true courage For more on Nell: Coaching: She coaches athletes around the world, not just in Boulder! Instagram @nell_rojas_running Facebook @nell.rojas1 And a shoutout to her dad Ric!
