I was thrilled to be a guest on Run. Thrive. Survive.
Ciara and I connected through a mutual friend, Eric Deeter (Mindset Coach, Ultrarunner, and Podcaster), because we all share the same passions. She kindly invited me to be a guest on her podcast. I enjoy speaking on podcasts, I’ve done a number of them, but they still make me feel nervous. I was happy to get to talk with Ciara and to learn more about what she does.
In our episode, we discuss mental health and running. I shared my professional opinion on what I think should be a requirement that everyone should do for their mental health. I also talked about what telemental health is and about what I do as a professional counselor and mindset coach. We transitioned the conversation to our favorite topic, running. Being a marathoner, Ciara brought up that she was considering running an ultramarathon, a 50k. I think I joked about crawling to the finish line if needed because I can sometimes have a dark sense of humor, but she could totally rock one if she wanted to. I shared a little about my ultrarunning journey, and then Ciara asked if I had a story from an ultra that I could share. With way too many stories to choose from, I picked a more recent event that had a crazy story. My 2020 Laurel Highlands Ultra. I rolled my ankle badly, hallucinated at night, and missed the cutoff time. We had an enjoyable time and it went by so fast.
I hope that you enjoy listening to our episode. Please, check out Ciara’s website and podcast, and reach out to her if you feel that she can help you with anything.
