Run with Purpose

We have talked about the idea before that in most cases we can not control what happens to us, but we can always control our reaction. But when we face rejection or a negative circumstance that can be really tough to pivot from and react positively. This week Amanda joins me on the show and we talk about how when rejection or pushback comes, she reframes it as a redirection to a better opportunity...

Have you ever found yourself just scrolling through Instagram "double clicking" posts over and over again? Not even realizing what you are liking because you just want to provide that feedback. Or maybe you sit in your notification waiting to count all the likes after you post something new. Why don't we get out of the "double click culture" and start really connecting with people? Maybe even have...

Have you ever just felt like your mind was just so cloudy that you weren't able to make a well-informed decision? Has a lack of clarity caused issues when trying to tackle and problem or circumstance? I'm betting to guess we all have been in this situation! This week on the show I talk through my ideas of clarity and the steps you can take to help find clarity in your life and with your purpose. C...

It's been a crazy last 18 months or so. I think sometimes when we go through these kinds of seasons we need to take that step back and really evaluate the choices we have made and the path we are moving forward on. This week we welcome Kati back on the show to talk about exactly that. This idea of detaching from labels/circumstances/ideas and just hitting reset. It was such a great conversation as...

New things are one of the best ways to embrace getting comfortable with discomfort. Whether it's a new activity, a new experience or maybe even a new relationship; we can always find a way to learn through something new. This week I talk about shifting our mentality about "new things" and how they can be one of the greatest tools we have in terms of growth. Connect with me on the socials @Flores....

We tend to sit back in our comfort and wait for life to happen to us. Whether that is from fear of failure, outside influences or maybe just something else. But I think we need to believe in ourselves and our dreams to truly live our adventure. This week I talk about this thought and our upcoming move and how they are connected. Enjoy!

So many people say they want an easy life. But I believe easy life is what happens when life happens to us rather than when we experience life. I would much rather have a simple life. But simple doesn’t mean easy. This week I break down what I mean by living a simple life and why I think it would be the best thing you could implement into your day-to-day thinking. Connect with me on the socials @F...

We can get so caught up in this idea of "busy" that we forget to be productive. I think our culture craves this busy mindset but in the end we just get burnt out. But what if we reframed our minds. What if instead of being busy, we focused on being productive. I think this simple mindset shift could do wonders in our lives. This week I talk about this exact topic and how I think being "busy" is a...

Sometimes we need to just take a step back and really look at things from a different angle. You see a new and fresh perspective can help reframe your thoughts and allows you to grow. This week I have Laura back on the show. We talk about so many things but it kept coming back to this idea of mindset and how reframing our mind allows us to learn and grow. Connect with me on the socials @Flores. Ru...

Negative self-talk can be such a hindrance to growth. We strive for perfection instead of learning and growing in each moment. We can have this "all or nothing" mentality that sets us up for failure. This week I sit down with Chris. We talk about negativity, taking a step back to naming your story and how our excessive expectations can be toxic not only to those around us but more importantly to o...

We are so used to this "instant gratification" mindset, that we don't ever want to see how the plan or process plays out. This week I talk about how we should trust in the process and always give 100%. We may not always get the result we expect but how will we even know, if we never give ourselves a chance? Connect with me on the socials @Flores. Run FB - www.facebook.com/Flores. Run Instagram - w...

When we are kids, we have crazy imaginations and passions that we say "one day I'm going to be a..." and we fill in the blank. But far too often we get sidetracked or listen to culture and end up settling for something less than our dreams. This week I chat with Kiki about how she turned her 4-year-old childhood dream into a reality. We talk all about passion and how we can use the gifts and abili...

So much of the things do and the way we act comes from our background. Whether it is our family, friends, our neighborhood, what we watch or a number of other things. We have inherent programming in us from all of those external sources and it affects how we act in day-to-day situations. This week on the show I talk with Sarah about reframing some of that programming and changing the way you talk...

Far too often we come across people in our lives that sugarcoat things to make us feel better. We surround ourselves with people that think exactly as we do in order to validate our decisions. This week we have Megan on the show that breaks that mold. She has such a great story about how she dealt with situations of life to get her where she is today. One of my favorite things about Megan is her w...

Just spitballing ideas of the top of my head this week. Thinking about mindset and how to make sure focusing on the positives as we transition into this "post-COVID" time. We will allow our circumstances to negatively affect our lives or will be react in a way that shows we grew during this time of discomfort? So many thoughts in this episode, hope you enjoy!

Sometimes things don't always go the way we plan. Sometimes circumstances are put in our place and we can only react. At that moment we all have the ability to choose how we respond. This week Anna joins me on the show. At 27 years old she became her mom's full-time caregiver. She had to find her purpose and change her mindset in the midst of dealing with unforeseen circumstances. She gives great...

We have all heard about “the American dream.” But it seems we never know when we have made it, when it is enough, and we seem to forever keep chasing the “dream.” This week I sit down with Dmitria as we talk about her story and how she went from chasing “the” American dream and starting living “her” American dream! Connect with Dmitria Website: DmitriaBurby.com Business Website: LuminanceHealing.c...

It has been 10 years since my first marathon! That is just crazy to think about, knowing how much running has changed my life and the number of places it has taken me.

Accountability is one of those things that seems so Important but yet also so hard to describe what it really is and how to hone in on growing in it. This week we have Kati back on the show to talk about accountability and the many faces it can have in our lives.

new look, same purpose, greater impact! This week I talk about hangry and all the things we are doing. As you probably know if you have been following for a while, we started the Hangry Race Series in 2015 but after a few years felt like there was more we could do for those living with the issue of hunger. So this year (2021) we started hangry, a 501(c)(3) non-profit to make a larger impact in our...
