Rise to Thrive Podcast Episode 2: Conscious Money with Linda Tate of Lila Life & Amelia Travis of Stoked Yogi Money. Everyone wants it, but we're not supposed to talk about it. We think when we have it, we'll be happy, but some say the love of it is the root of all evil. This episode dives deep into money, the history of money, money and your energetic frequency, and how we form belief systems around money that create financial freedom or debilitating blocks. When you go to bed at night, and things are causing you to toss and turn, is one of them money? How is your relationship with money and your current financial situation really affecting your overall health in life? ----more---- “Money is like water. It can be a conduit for commitment, a currency of love. Money moving in the direction of our highest commitments nourishes our world and ourselves. What you appreciate appreciates. When you make a difference with what you have, it expands. Collaboration creates prosperity. True abundance flows from enough; never from more. Money carries our intention. If we use it with integrity, then it carries integrity forward. Know the flow—take responsibility for the way your money moves in the world. Let your soul inform your money and your money express your soul.” -Lynne Twist, author of The Soul of Money As we dive deep into money talk, we’ll share our perspective on financial alignment practices like mindful spending, impact investing, reframing debt, mindfulness, and healing spending addiction. We also get super vulnerable about our own experiences with major financial obstacles like 100k in debt - and how we came back from that and transformed the relationship with money to be sustainable, meaningful, plentiful and full of contentment.

By day, she’s a lawyer at Apple, and by very early morning, she’s a four-time world champion obstacle racer and self-proclaimed “budding ultra runner.” Amelia lives in San Jose, CA, and is a glutton for punishment — hence her race distance of choice being “long.” On this episode, Amelia — who you may recognize as last month’s Runner’s World cover star — talks about why she’s intrigued by failure, why she loves grueling races, and how she gained her mental strength.

Since the popularity of Obstacle Course Racing, or OCR, has exploded onto the scene, there has been one woman who has dominated the sport: Amelia Boone. Amelia ran her first race in 2011 after some prodding from a co-worker, and though she says she stumbled her way to an unimpressive finish, she was smitten. She has since amassed over  50 podiums and two dozen victories, including the Spartan Race World Championship in 2013, and the World's Toughest Mudder (three times!) in 2012, 2014 and 2015. Oh, and her 2014 victory came just eight weeks after major knee surgery. Though she vehemently denies it, Amelia is superhuman. This interview is a little different than others you may have heard on The Knowledge Project but no less fascinating. We cover a wide variety of topics including habits, reading, self-reliance, and training. Specifically, you’ll learn: Why Amelia was drawn to obstacle racing even though running was something she despised The complementary connection between her sport and her professional work and how racing has made her a more effective attorney How Amelia fights physical and mental fatigue when most people quit (she even shares a story of how she dealt with a vacant support station halfway through a 100 mile race) What she does to develop grit and resilience so she knows she can rely on herself when things get rough Amelia’s “to-do list” trick that makes sure she’s productive — you’ll want to steal this How a serious injury taught Amelia some of her most powerful lessons about who she is and what’s important to her What Amelia’s parents did to teach her to be self-sufficient from a very young age How she learned to deal with setbacks, and how careful she is with the language she uses when she speaks to herself when things go wrong Why Amelia runs with a Sharpie and the same playlist she’s listened to for the past 5 years How Amelia transformed herself from a casual weekend warrior to one of the most finely tuned athletes in the world Whether you’re an athlete, a weekend jogger, or the only exercise you get is the leisure stroll from the couch to the refrigerator, there are lots of insights and plenty of inspiration waiting for you in this interview.

Episode 169: Amelia Boone - How The Best Obstacle Racer In The World Embraces Pain Amelia Boone is a full-time corporate attorney and probably the world's most decorated obstacle racer. Since the sport's inception five years ago, she's amassed more than 30 victories and 50 podiums. Career highlights include: • 3x winner of the World's Toughest Mudder (2012, 2014, 2015) • Spartan Race World Champion 2013 • Spartan Race Points Series Champion (2013 & 2015) • 3x Death Race Finisher (Winter 2012, Summer 2012, Summer 2013) When Amelia's not out on an obstacle course, you'll find her nurturing a budding ultra running obsession, working as a full-time attorney, or watching wrestling pay-per-views. Most likely with a box of Pop-Tarts or a bag of ketchup chips in hand.

I feel most alive doing that." In This Episode, You Will Learn: High level performers have an innate drive, self-motivated, constantly striving to get better Can it be learned? Yes.  Need to find what it is inside of you that drives you. Cultivate it. Create routines and schedules to sustain excellence How Amelia is able to be a full time attorney working for Apple AND the best obstacle racer in the world The importance of prioritizing and eliminating what doesn't matter. Set your life up to eliminate time wasters -- (ie. She moved very close to her office at Apple in order to avoid wasting time with a long commute) Her morning routine - Wake up at 4:00 am and train: "If I don't train, then nothing feels right." How has racing impacted life as an attorney: Why having a full schedule helps her. Creates the need for focus and forces Amelia to do it How Amelia creates the best version of herself The difference between competing with yourself vs competing with others What her relationship is like with other racers? She is friendly but knows she is the target that everyone wants to beat How she's able to regularly beat everyone in a race (men and women) Dealing with an injury from over-training (broken femur) How the injury has changed her --  Creating her ability to be happy for the success of others Dealing with Identity issues Prior to the injury, she found herself caught in the cycle of "What happens if I don't win?" She's learned there is more to life than winning and losing How does Amelia deal with the immense pain during a 24 hour race? Compartmentalize ("Make it to the next obstacle... then the next"). If "you're really in the pain cave, then focus on others. Talk to other racers, volunteers. Get your mind off of it." People who have sustained excellence have a remarkable ability to pivot. They always find a way to be successful regardless of what they are doing. "What can you be the best at right now?" What is success? What is happiness? What's the best? The Barkley Marathons - Why Amelia will be the first female to finish the race Why you should not avoid pain. "For me, pain is something we shouldn't be afraid of. I feel most alive doing that." We've created a world we there is no pain. That's not healthy." Her pre race process - Night before there are nerves. The day of: logical and methodical approach to planning everything for the race. Then zone out, be by herself and think. Be thankful, humble, and fortunate to be there.
