Ep. 15: Jillian Brown - PTSD and the Energy Within
11/13/20 • 63 min
To Jillian Brown, PTSD doesn’t stand for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, it stands for Perseverance, Trust, Strength, and Determination, because that’s what she found as she’s navigated through her personal journey with PTSD.
Jillian has a unique understanding of PTSD. She left everything behind to leave an abusive relationship. She was homeless and lost. Seeking out professional help, Jillian was diagnosed with PTSD, but was given very little information and even fewer options.
Jillian has found strength, determination, and direction through connecting with nature and moving her body. In this episode of WOTW, we talk about the healing power of the wilderness and exercise, how a squirrel taught her the meaning of life, and the adventures that have shaped her into the incredible human she is today.

Ep. 16: Sabrina Stanley on Nolan's 14
Sabrina is a professional ultra-distance runner, run coach, and all-around badass. As with a lot of runners in the time of COVID, the virus really threw a wrench in her race plans for this year. But Sabrina was flexible and instead of dwelling on that, she was able to pivot and focus her attention on a big objective she had been eyeing for a while: a classic Colorado route called Nolan’s 14. Sabrina got to know this route really well, to say the least.
This episode is full of little nuggets of ultra-running wisdom as Sabrina recounts her experiences on Nolan’s 14.
