How To Avoid BURNOUT In Life After Sports - Natalie Sawyer, Former Snowboarder

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 00:15:00 -0500

Natalie spent decades as a snowboarder and took her athlete mentality to every goal she went after. From becoming a nurse to a firefighter to a new business. Head down until it's finished. Tired = weak. Ironically, she now specializes in helping all people create healthy boundaries to overcome their burnout. This episode will leave you wanting to do all things 'self-care'.

What Can You Learn From Hiking 52 Miles In 2 Days? Solo with Megan Reuter

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 00:00:00 -0400

A few months ago, I decided to embark on a journey to hike from the south rim to the north rim of the Grand Canyon. This journey would consist of over 200 miles of run/walk training, tons of sauna sessions and thousands of stairs climbed. A few weeks ago, I completed not only south to north, but then north to south the next day. Totaling 52 miles in less than 2 days. This was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do mentally. Though these experiences, we have the chance to learn so much. Today, I explain the road blocks we overcame, my why, and my top 3 lessons that I learned in this process.
