Tine and Taylor are joined by all around amazing human, the creator of The Constant Quest Podcast logo, 100k ultra-marathon finisher, and someone that has been with the show since the beginning, Nikki Barthelemy. Nikki has been present since the recording of the first episode of the show in the mountains of north Georgia, but today these three sit down to talk about her journey. She just recently finished 100k in Arizona shortly after running 45 miles on her 45th birthday as a fund-raiser for BeLoved Asheville in the wake of the devastation of Hurricane Helene. Nikki tried several avenues after college (graphic design, marketing, wellness coordinator) before going back to school and becoming a massage therapist at the age of 30. Her positive attitude and determination to continue pushing boundaries is an inspiration you certainly don't want to miss!

This episode of TCQP is a little different than usual. Tine gave a talk to a group of college students on January 31, 2025 at a leadership conference at University of South Carolina - Beaufort; this episode is a recording of his talk.

He reflects on his experience in corporate America, and how the weight of stress, overwhelm, and suicidal ideation grew heavier as he climbed the ladder. He speaks on how he has been able to find joy through authenticity, and challenges the audience to search within - prompted by his five steps - to cultivate a state of joy by showing up in the world as their most authentic selves.

Tine and Taylor are joined on this episode of The Constant Quest Podcast by Michael White. Michael shares the depth of his connection to the Asheville & Western, NC community, specifically in light of the devastation brought by recent Hurricane Helene. He has felt called to volunteer with BeLoved Asheville, a local organization that has been helping support community throughout the region since 2009. They have also become a central hub for donation and distribution of goods & supplies to those who continue to be impacted by the aftermath of the storm. Tine and Taylor were able to see a glimpse of the continued impact as Michael toured them through the River Arts District and others. This conversation is one of emotion, gratitude, pain, and joy.

Michael also talks about the power of changing the narrative in our brains by intentionally pre-determining what we consume, be it in diet, exercise, media, literature, or relationships. The co-hosts had the opportunity to record this episode in person at Michael's home and see first hand this intention of Michael's through his positive affirmations placed throughout his house. He has recently turned his journals and journey into a book titled UnPerfect. Michael is a deep thinker and life long learner, and shares a number of his personal growth & self care tools, even sharing a sauna & cold plunge session with Tine and Taylor.
