This woman is out here carrying 40lbs+ blowing out shoes and being a humble badass! :D

Meredith is working to achieve a specific goal this October (2024) to celebrate her escape from an abusive relationship and celebrate her strengths; mentally, emotionally, and physically!

What I love about Meredith is how humble, honest, and confident she is in her endeavors and the wisdom she has to share with you will apply no matter what season you are in!

Enjoy this conversation where we learn more about Meredith's journey and how incredible she is!

If you want to be amazed, in awe, flabergasted by something, learn about your nervous system. Seriously. Every time I have conversations about it or do somatic work or read research, it just gets cooler!!! And this is what this conversation with Mitch is chock full of!

Prepare to have your mind blown, maybe shed a tear with us, and learn how to start connecting with the most important system in your body, your nervous system.

If this is hijacked, you ain't changing nothin'!!

My favorite quote from Mitch: "trauma that leads to dysregulation gets us STUCK." We literally can't do anything until we address the stuckness.

And trauma doesn't have to be shock trauma like an accident, it can be anything your conscious and subconscious PERCEIVES as traumatic.

The ah-ha moment for me - it's the dysregulation of the nervous system that keeps us from reaching whatever goals or changes we're seeking. If we don't first listen and work with our nervous system, we are literally wasting time and money with all the pretty "biohacks" and protocols.

Take a listen, this is a great one!

As a high school power lifter and athlete, exercise made Melonie feel awesome! Lifting heavy and going hard was also a form of therapy.

Fast forward to adulthood and the ups and downs we experience in this thing called life! Fed up with weight gain and feeling lost, she took the advice of her father and firefighter friend to try walking....and rucking. She was hooked!!!

Listen in for more of Melonie's story that is also the story for many of us. What I love about listening to each woman's story is how so so similar we are to each other and this one thing, walking outside with a back pack, and showing up for these crazy events, bonds us even stronger together to have more connection, community, empathy, and kindness. We are not alone sisters, not for one second. We are all out here just like you doing the damn thing!

"If I can't run I have to do something!...Dusted my ruck off, and kinda took off! Mentally that was my turning point, 'I'm going to be strong again, I'm good!' It was as simple as putting my back pack on and putting miles on my feet....It sounds crazy, it is so much more than putting a backpack on." - Becca

To join Becca for a walk to remember those who aren't with us due to cancer, walk or ruck where ever you are in the world on Sunday, October 13th, 2024 for an 18 miler. 18 is the number of days she received chemo and was a pact she made with her fellow sisters who were also going through treatment. Sadly, none of them are with us today so she walks to honor and remember them, and remember how fortunate she is to be here.

"If you're not questioning why you're there at somepoint, you're not doing it right." - Caitlin

Caitlin, co-leader of Steel City Ruck and the GORUCK Custom Events head honcho, and I dive into her journey with rucking and how a congenital knee deformity hasn't stopped her from doing over 100 GORUCK events. As someone who didn't like to workout at the gym and in front of people, she found that she loved Spartan/obstacle course races (she didn't run them) and then was introduced to GORUCK events and she was hooked!
