Between the Ears

K and I kick off this brand new season (joke) catching up about what we've been up to, some big changes to life, thoughts on the physical/mental training space, and a look ahead for BTE.

K and I sit down to debrief the morning after her BTE12 event - 12 hours of rucking, running, and carrying a sandbag. There's simplicity in these pursuits that allow for clarity of purpose, questions, and ultimately ownership of why we do hard things. If you've ever questioned yourself, I think you'll hear some nuggets of wisdom you can apply to your own journey. Most importantly, I'm proud of her :)

It's been about a year of everyone's first time dealing with the challenges we've faced this past year. While we may be seeing light at the end of the tunnel physically, we must acknowledge the mental and emotional toll the past year has had and continues to have on us. Here's how we are processing this and an exercise that can help you help yourself.

We all know self-care is important, so why is it so hard to actually do? What does it mean to be present and how can we practice this so that we can express it when we need it most? These are just a couple questions K and I address as we discuss her recent experience with an aggressive anxiety attack and how she worked through it.

K and I are reengaging with the initial intent of this podcast to have open, vulnerable, honest, real conversations about things we personally are experiencing in the hopes it provides value to others who gift us their time of listening.
We talk about how feeling as a skill shows up in our lives and the challenges we face in when we don't feel.
