In this episode we learn more about the Ryan Wekenman, author of Single Today. Writing a book about singleness is a pretty uncommon thing to do. I've had the opportunity to get to know Ryan through Red Rocks ATX for the past nearly two years and find his perspective refreshing and uplifting... so why not have a sit down chat about his latest endeavor: Single Today. The book is a delightful read (regardless of relationship status) and has much that we can all benefit from. From forgiving our yesterday, to not getting too caught up in the tomorrow trap, to cultivating presence today.

Mike Gonzales is the drummer for Kill Tony Band. He has played with Keith Urban, Gary Clark Jr, The Peterson Bro's, Gina Chavez, Charley Crockett and many more.
In this episode we learn that Mike got what many would call a "late start". He pursues his passion with unparalleled work ethic (we get in to the details of what that looks like). He tells many rad stories and is one of the hardest workers in every room -- who does so with humility.
I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about Mike. His journey will continue to be one to want to support and stay tuned in to.

Rachell Hague is Co-Founder & CEO of KonnectHer -- A Community for Female Entrepreneurs. She is a martial artist, podcast host, speaker and mentor... all at the age of 24! Rachell grew up caring for her sister who passed away in 2020. We talk about the grief she walked through at age 20 and how she transformed the pain in to the purpose driven entrepreneurial endeavors she has excelled with today. We also talk about her passion for martial arts, and an honest account of both of our struggles with cultivating friendships with women and what we have learned to create more of that.

In today's episode a dear friend of mine shares her story. From growing up with access to drugs and alcohol to being addicted to meth in her early 20's... then in to recovery. Danielle Cobb IS what recovery looks like to me. This woman inspires me and walks the walk of a person who "has that light" and shares it without expectations.
We talk about healing through our recovery... from the painful parts of the first year to the healing we've experienced relationally and so much more. Danielle carries a disposition of serenity and peace that we likely all crave more of... so let's hear it directly from her.

Can you define health? I've been asking a lot of fitness professionals this question. We desire better health, yet it isn't easy to define -- even for the pro's. So where do YOU begin?
I don't believe I have a perfected answer to that. I do have over a decade of insatiable curiosity, an alphabet soup of certifications and hundreds of clients over that time achieving lasting results. This is a candid attempt to distill my experience and evolving education in to actionable info.
Topics include: How to find a personal trainer/fitness coach, what it's realistically like to begin a resistance training program (at any age), common pitfalls along your fitness journey (trying to emulate fitfluencer workouts, diet hurdles and more).
NOTE: I am aware that throughout this episode I am pushing for us to grow. I want us all to be our own best advocate. I cannot wait to continue to watch the field of health grow and expand and evolve. I hope you'll choose to continue to trudge what is, in my opinion, a worthwhile journey to prioritize your health. You're worth it.

We learn about the importance of T-Spine mobility, tips for martial arts athletes, invaluable tools for coaches and some often overlooked but important differences between males and females in sport.
