Are you on a journey or on a mission? There is nothing wrong with being on either one. But it’s good to be clear on which path you are on. If you are on a journey, you are easily moved by distractions. Life is unpredictable so it’s difficult to keep promises to yourself when time gets away from you. However when you are on a mission you have a deep why….and nothing can stop you.
In this powerful episode I share with you the KEY to being consistent and focused on your goals. We talk about the importance of a detailed plan and how to develop the grit to see things through. If you have been struggling with consistency in your fitness goals (or life goals) chances are your “why” needs some work. In this week’s episode, we dig deep into this topic, I also share with you some hilarious outtakes from my audible book!

Her specialties include depression, trauma, PTSD, as well as marriage and relationship issues among others. Brooke’s articles have been featured in Social Work Today, Martha Stewart Weddings and many more.
Brooke believes in circular causality which in essence is the idea that your behavior is both the cause of another’s behavior as well as caused by another’s behavior. She shares with us the importance of turning our viewpoint inward to see what areas in our own lives may need adjusting in a relationship rather that projecting all the negativity outward. This episode is perfect for those wanting to strengthen their relationships and be more present with those they love.
Questions I Asked:

- How does a relationship work with the idea that I don’t need anyone else’s permission?

In the midst of tragedy, it is difficult to understand the good that can come of it. We often hear stories of those who have endured unthinkable trials and have not only lived through them but found their purpose within them. How can we too learn from those who have risen above their circumstances when we are faced with our own adversity?
This week we are speaking with former marine gunner, Kirstie Ennis, who suffered intensive injuries including a leg amputation after her helicopter crashed. In this episode, we discuss how she not only overcame her obstacles but went on to create a non-profit organization, climb mountains, and become an adventure athlete. Kirstie truly believes in the philosophy that we have to be uncomfortable to grow and look for situations to push ourselves. She encourages us to look at how far we’ve come rather than where we still have to go.
Questions I Asked:
- Did you feel stripped of your identity?
- What types of workouts do you perform to prepare for the mountains?
- Did setting goals pull you through rehab?
Topics Discussed:
- Coming back from a devastating tragedy.
- Continuing when people tell you that you shouldn’t.
- The importance of milestones and the journey.
Quotes from the show:
- “Instead of what I lost I decided to look at what I gained.” @kirstieennis
- “What’s right in front of me that can help me?” @kirstieennis
- “Keep going after the big mountains.” @kirstieennis
- “You have to be uncomfortable to grow.” @kirstieennis
