Ep.20 Ragtag Survivors Club: Howdy, Ya'll! 🤠☕🌠 I recently had a birthday, and every birthday is a reminder that you're another year older, but it's also a wake-up call.

We all want to see more birthdays, and the only way to do that is to start taking care of ourselves. I'm going to live foreve...

Ep.18: Toothy Knife Fight: Howdy, Ya'll! 🤠☕🌠 Today's message is that everybody starts at zero. No matter the goal, you're going to have to start at zero, maybe more than once.

Ep.12: Amber Pitch Slap Howdy, Ya'll! 🤠☕🌠 Today, I'm trying hard to be whoever I am supposed to be but it has been rough since a spoke broke on my rear wheel. Who am I if I can't ride my mountain bike? That's right, my faithful steed, Chickensaurus-Rex broke my heart yesterday.

Ep.10: Paleo Powerhouse Howdy, Ya'll! 🤠☕ Today is one of those days where I didn't want to go outside. I wanted to stay inside, eat junk food, and watch YouTube all day.

This is the theme of today's mix: doing it even when you don't want to. I...

Ep.09: Evolutionary Bottleneck Howdy, Ya'll! 🤠☕ Today, I had to put myself in someone else's shoes after getting into a big argument with a best friend and realizing that I was the one in the wrong.

Second, if you do g...

Ep.08: Big Toothy Grin Howdy, Ya'll! 🤠☕ Today, I'm reminded of what Marcus Aurelius said about dwelling on problems: "Your days are numbered, and if you don't clear the clouds from your mind now you may never have another chance." What does that mean? You cannot dwell on failures and be dissatisfied with today because you may not have a tomorrow. You have to live your life as if every moment wer...

Ep.07: Tar Pit Barbeque Howdy, Ya'll! 🤠☕ Yup, the voices have been extra loud this week. Between my personal experiences during 9/11 and too many funerals for friends who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, I'm feeling the full weight of being stuck in the tar pit of survivor's guilt. Thankfully, for me, mountain biking is my miracle. It allows me to leave some of that darkness out on the trail, o...
