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

In this week’s episode, I sat down with Fitonic’s founder Sara Grey. As a former athlete, she found a lack of resources available to encourage women to pursue fitness and become the best versions of themselves. In addition to hosting her podcast Fitonic, she has created a proprietary blend of proteins and herbs.
Failure can often be seen as an end all be all, we talk about how to see the good in failure and how to view it as an adventure. We talk about how to give your permission to be messy and to fail because that is what it takes to get to success. We also explore how to learn to get through tough times by using the lessons from our fitness to push your mind through difficult times.
Questions I Asked Sara:
- Do you teach mantras to your audience?
- What do you like most about podcasting?
- How can women step into being their best selves?
Topics Discussed:
- Why was it necessary to create a proprietary protein blend?
- The power of your words and the “I am”.
- Highlighting the everyday woman athlete.
Quotes from the show:
