In this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I reflect on two crucial components I learned in 2024: maintaining balance and navigating perspective. Personally, 2024 was one of the best years of my life, but it was also one of the hardest. After taking a couple of weeks off from rigorous training, I realized how my commitment to accomplishing a goal had become an obsession—one that no longer brought me the joy it once did. I had thrown myself so deeply into my goals that I lost myself in the process.By applying some personal "gauges" to my life and practicing gratitude, I've been able to find balance between my passions—running, podcasting, and other pursuits. My hope is to share some of my "growth opportunities" from 2024, as they may help others tackle their goals in a more sustainable manner.This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in a rut, has lost their spark, or needs reassurance that they are worth living a life they enjoy!Support the showSave 10% on Do Epic Shit Today Merch Discount Code: TALLISH10https://www.tallishx.com/

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast, I share a few notes that I've picked up whilst being in the running community to help encourage others to give the sport a try. I am no expert by any means, but since being in the running world for about four years and a few races under my belt, I hope to share some tips that could help others not feel so intimidated and feel more inclined to give the sport a go. Some tips include: There is no such thing as a runner's body. You have a body and you run, therefore you have a runner's body. Calling out the running gear you actually need vs what you think you do. The power of the running community and how it can impact your mental space on what is possible. Understanding that discomfort is a normal part of the process. Hope this helps to those out there who could use a little boost! Have a stellar week! @TallishxSupport the showSave 10% on Do Epic Shit Today Merch Discount Code: TALLISH10https://www.tallishx.com/

On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast I chat with Amanda Odgers. Earlier this summer I reached out to Amanda after stumbling upon a vulnerable video sharing how she felt stuck and lacked purpose whilst searching for answers in Zion.  Through watching the clip, you learn that not only has Amanda attained a Life Coach, Personal Training and Nutrition Coach certifications but she followed her intuition and launched her own business, Made For More. By taking leaps of calculated faith and her refusal to fail, Amanda is living her life on her terms and sits down with me to talk about the process. Additionally on the episode, she and I discuss surrounding ourselves with inspiring humans, recommended tips to start a business and many more amazing pieces of advice. Biggest takeaway: lean in to your intuition. Instagram: @amandaodgers@madeformoreretreatsWebsite: https://www.madeformoreretreats.com/Support the Show.Save 10% on Do Epic Shit Today Merch Discount Code: TALLISH10https://www.tallishx.com/
