Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
Anna McKinney Smith, a 2021 thru-hiker, is our guest today. Anna found her people out on trail and, more significantly, she also found her person, who became her husband. Anna referred to having a “common purpose of forward momentum” that appealed to her, and she has since been a writer for the Trek and opened her own blog about hiking, called Magic in the Mountains. Here's the link. Magic in the Mountains. You can also follow Anna on the Trek at Anna McKinney Smith, Author at The Trek and on Instagram at Instagram (@annamckinney22) . She'll be hiking the PCT with her husband this year, so follow along. Dave, Beth, and Andrew continue their way north, with Dave about to pass the 500 mile mark–a special milestone–and Beth and Andrew completing two weeks on trail. All is well, though Andrew had a “bit of a day” recently! I used my hike earlier this year on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade. You can learn more about the hike and the organization–and donate–by visiting Hike with Steve - Empowering Parents, One Step at a Time | Parenting Matters %. I hope you want to support this critical mission. Don't forget. Our entire series of videos from our Woods Hole Weekend in 2022 is now FREE and available at my YouTube page at Woods Hole Weekend - Trailer There, you'll find all sorts of tips and tricks that our guests took away from the weekend that helped them with their own hikes this year.

A routine trip to the store nearly turns fatal—but a husband's habit of waiting a second after the light turns green saves two lives. That same life-saving pause becomes a springboard into a powerful commentary on the chaos we're allowing on American soil. From real stories of defensive driving to an urgent warning about Hamas recruitment on college campuses, this gripping episode pulls no punches. It's about the danger you don't see coming—on the road and in our institutions.
Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
Melanie Wood is our guest this week. She hiked SOBO last year, running into the devastation of Helene with about 700 miles to go, having to prematurely end her hike. She is still recognized as a thru-hiker because, quite rightly, she hiked the trail that was available. Melanie went on to write about her experiences on the trail, giving a positive outlook with her perspectives. You can check out more about the book at her website at Home - Melanie A. Wood, Author.

We speak with many clinicians and healthcare professionals on FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast, but we always love the opportunity to talk with a FOX patient. What's it like to work with a FOX clinician? How was their experience with FOX? Today, we are lucky enough to chat with Catherine Duff, who has been working with FOX Virtual Care Specialist, Jenny Rothman, PT, DPT, via Telehealth. Though skeptical of doing physical therapy virtually, once it got underway, Catherine became a fan. She was also introduced to remote therapeutic monitoring through the platform, One Step, which digitally tracks a patient's functional progress. Catherine enjoyed her treatment sessions so much, she reached out to Jenny and said that she would love to spread the word and encourage others to use Telehealth. After we got in contact with Catherine, per her promise, she was game for interviewing on our podcast, which you can listen to right now!

This episode was an off the cuff, completely unplanned heart-to-heart after reading a chapter in the current book I'm reading, Experiencing God. As I personally navigate a lot of unknowns in my life right now, this chapter encouraged me and I pray it will be the same for you too._____________________________________Episode Resources: The Finding Freedom Co.

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
We have a German hiker on the podcast this week. Annika Ananias recently flew into the US to hike the Arizona Trail with her American boyfriend, when she was pulled out of line, harshly interrogated, deported, and banned from re-entering the country for five years. This, despite having a ten-year visa. She has a compelling story. I wanted to hear from Annika in her own words. The Trek wrote a great article about her that left me with a few questions I wanted to clear up with her. As you'll hear, she is articulate and tells her alarming story with clarity. These links will tell you more of the story and, if you're able to read German or you can get it translated, at the end of the list is an article she wrote to warn fellow European hikers of the situation they may face in the US. Annika Ananias / "Ravenclaw", Author at The Trek Statement English German Thru-Hiker Detained, Deported, and Banned From US - The Trek Einreise in die USA: Warum ein Visum keine Garantie ist und wie ihr euch vorbereiten solltet - Weltwanderin Both of our Mighty Blue Class of 2025 are now on trail. Beth saet out this past week, and we catch up with her and her stepson, Andrew, at Woody Gap, with their first impressions. Dave is now into Hot Springs, some 275 miles ahead of Beth, and he is zeroing there to give back to the local community by spending in local businesses.

Erica Sosna knows about career change—but 2022 brought a plot twist even she didn't plan for. A life-altering accident left her paralyzed, and suddenly her to-do list included “relearn walking” and “rebuild everything.” Now, she's back—walking, thriving, and reminding us that bouncing back takes more than pep talks—it takes grit, grace, and a stubborn refusal to stay down. Part One.Key Highlights of Our Interview:Speaking the Same Career Language: The Foundation of The Career Equation“The Career Equation is designed to create a common understanding between employers and employees around career development, much like having a shared accounting system. Without it, career conversations risk inconsistency and lack of clarity, but with it, we can truly align aspirations and strategies.”Building Career Conversations with Four Simple Components“The Career Equation focuses on four key insights: understanding strengths, uncovering passions, measuring success, and aligning with optimal work environments. These components create a common ground, enabling both employer and employee to understand what's needed to thrive.”Insatiable Curiosity: Embracing Unconventional Paths to Healing"An insatiable thirst for novelty keeps me exploring, whether it's acupuncture, microcurrent therapy, or spine-specific chiropractic techniques. I've discovered that healing requires openness to new possibilities, even when they fall outside the traditional model.”The Right Environment: The Crucial Factor for Success“From workspace to team dynamics, the environment is essential to performance. Knowing where a person does their best work and making adjustments as needed creates a space where strengths can flourish.”Visualizing the Outcome: A Plan Begins with the End in Mind“I start by envisioning the experiences I want—whether it's dancing, running, or picking up my child—then map out the steps that would lead me there. By framing it with vivid goals, I find clarity and purpose in the smallest daily actions.”Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Erica Sosna --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Part One.Key Highlights of Our Interview:Two Jobs, Two Failures: A Gut Check Moment“After two roles that didn't work out as planned, I hit a crossroads. I took a step back and asked: am I in the right place? I needed to rethink my priorities, work style, and the kind of organization that would truly support me.”The School of Hard Knocks: Rejections and Redirections“Returning to the corporate world after running my own social enterprise was unexpectedly tough. My CV was different, unconventional, and people didn't trust me to hold down a job. It took resilience to find an organization that valued my unique experience.”Shifting Gears: When Your Work Becomes Your Solace“Returning to my consultancy after a year's absence was grounding. My work has always been my passion, but after such a physically uncontrollable experience, the familiar structure felt like a comfort. It also became a chance to rethink: How could I reach more people, make a bigger impact? And so, the podcast was born.”A Balancing Act: Rediscovering Purpose in a Three-Day Week"Managing a business on a three-day week, while also recovering from a spinal cord injury and parenting, meant redefining success. I've refocused on what truly matters, aligning my time with my gifts and refining how I reach people.

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
This week, we meet Bill Zyckowski, or Big Willy Dawg. Bill is a retired police officer who truly needed a walk in the woods to bring some meaning to his life. As you'll hear, he embraced it thoroughly, forming a strong bond with his fellow hikers, the majority of whom were decades younger. He emerged changed, as many of us do. You can learn more about Bill–and follow him on his hiking adventures–on YouTube at BigWillyDawg Beth is less than a week away from her AT thru-hike start. This week, we talk last minute preparations and imminent plans. Next week, we'll hear from her from the trail. Already out there, Dave Santi has passed the 200 mile mark and, twinges aside, is sounding strong and in control of his hike. Our book reading, Happy Hiking, by my friend, Emily Leonard is–of course–written from a woman's POV and a woman's voice. I hope you enjoy listening to my reading of it. If you'd like to buy the book, you can find it on Amazon at Happy Hiking: Falling in love on the Appalachian Trail, or on Emily's website, at Happy Hiking.

This week's “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Sabine Schoepke. She says: “My biggest advice is don't try to get all of the answers. Like, do one tiny little step at a time. Take inventory of, okay, what's feeling good? What's feeling good for me physically and what's not? Change that. Because I really do believe that our feelings are our superpower, are the greatest power that we have. The feelings that are good and the feelings that don't feel good because they show us what's not right. So check-in. Take little steps into the directions that feel good and take a step back from the ones that don't feel good. And you will see that when you take little steps, the next one is gonna present itself. Things are gonna magically fall into place or show up in your life when it's like, oh, wow. So it doesn't need big leaps, and it doesn't need all of the answers. Don't wait for that. Take initiative, take inventory, and take action.” Sabine Schoepke is a dynamic entrepreneur with over 35 years of experience now dedicated to helping others redefine midlife and create aligned financial freedom. A trailblazer and disruptor, Sabine sold her latest company and retired at 51, shifting her focus to guiding others. Her journey spans seven businesses, a best-selling book, and professional bodybuilding, all of which fuel her unique, authentic coaching style. She empowers clients to embrace true success, grounded in alignment, purpose, and joy. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: Hear Sabine's remarkable journey from homelessness to building seven successful businesses, and the powerful mindset shifts that made it possible. Discover the simple yet impactful steps you can take to find greater purpose and alignment in your own life.

Olympic Gold MedalistThe world of sports I find fascinating to watch! Years of discipline, conditioning, travel, competitions, etc. all go into building a winning athlete & team. Their stories behind the World Championships, Team M.V.P.'s & Gold are even more so. Can an orphan from an abusive childhood, shuffled from foster home to home, even living on the streets, low self-esteem go on to be a winner in life? It starts with the stories about you have in your mind. You have to see it, speak it, mentor with & surround yourself & your environment to condition YOU for victory! What an eye opener to hear about life after the games from one of my friends Olympic Gold Medalist Dana Hee. She is grateful to God for her victories. Dana may be a familiar face, not only from winning the "Gold" bunot only from winning the "Gold" but from television & movies like Mortal Combat, Charlie's Angels, Lethal Weapon & many more. Dana Lynn Hee is an Olympic Gold Medalist and is currently a Hollywood film and television actress, as well as one of an award winning stuntwomen in the entertainment industry. . She has also doubled for Hollywood's top actresses': Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, Gwynneth Paltrow, Renee Russo, and Jennifer Garner.She also a noted writer, lecturer and television color commentator, and has an extensive background as a speaker to Fortune 500 companies. It's an understatement to say that Dana's childhood was hard. The child of divorced, alcoholic parents, she endured abuse, abandonment, and despair. The years of being passed back and forth between an orphanage, suicidal family members, halfway houses, a commune, government shelter, and finally a foster home, took their tole. Dana grew up to be a young woman with little self-esteem or self-confidence, and a huge fear of failure. To her, nothing seemed possible. It was as if the two words, 'I can't' were programmed into her mind, and she struggled to escape a lifelong habit of running from her fears. Dana looked within herself for strength and determined to make a change. Armed with an ounce of courage, and a glimpse of hope, she set out to make a dream of hers come true. Through the agonizing, against-the-odds process of this struggle, she made the transformation from a shy, under-achieving, below-average young woman to an Olympic Gold Medalist with a new sense of self-esteem, and, finally, some hope for the future.Her story of how this happened - and the lessons you can take from it - are enough to inspire the most discouraged soul. But Dana didn't stop there. She started accepting speaking engagements, then graduated to keynote speeches. She shifted from martial arts, to modeling, and then acting, before setting her sights on becoming a top Hollywood stuntwoman in the movie industry. If this sounds easy, it wasn't. To this day, Dana battles self-doubts whose roots extend back to her youth. But she never quits. She competes successfully in the world's most challenging industries.Dana's autobiography, One Step with Courage: The Story of My Life From Olympic Gold Medalist to Hollywood Stuntwoman, was released in May 2020. Taekwondo Life Magazine featured her story and book release in March, 2021, as part of its International Women's Day Celebration ~ DanaHee.com© 2025 All Rights Reserved© 2025 BuildingAbundantSuccess!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy: https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
Nick Panetta is our guest this week. He is an avid section hiker on the Appalachian Trail, and a stickler for detail. He attempted a southbound thru-hike back in 2012, was woefully ill-prepared, and only made it part of the way through the 100 Mile Wilderness. Undeterred, perhaps even more determined, Nick went away and started to understand the requirements for extensive backpacking over a period of time. He shed plenty of excess weight in his gear, and now prepares methodically with spreadsheets to guide him along his way. Nick's is an instructive story on how to learn by one's mistakes and prepare for the trail as best you can to mitigate risks along the way. Our Mighty Blue Class of 2025 brings Beth back to the show as she prepares for her own thru-hike attempt at the end of this month, while Dave checks in with us on his reflections–and a picture from the Green Dragon Hostel–of the first few days. Our book reading, Happy Hiking, by my friend, Emily Leonard is–of course–written from a woman's POV and a woman's voice. I hope you enjoy listening to my reading of it. If you'd like to buy the book, you can find it on Amazon at Happy Hiking: Falling in love on the Appalachian Trail, or on Emily's website, at Happy Hiking.

After defeat at Nottingham Forest, David Mooney is joined by Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk and Mark Critchley from The Athletic to discuss Manchester City's position in the battle for the Champions League places. Focusing on the match at the City Ground, they look at the question of creativity from wide areas and City's chance-creation, given they had a lot of the ball and not a lot to show for it. With those dropped points, they discuss what it will take between now and May to qualify for next season's top European competition. Brighton are the visitors to the Etihad on Saturday, looking for their first ever league double over City... How can Pep Guardiola's side stop that from happening and stop another team in the top four (or five) race from going ahead in the table? Ryan Adsett from Talk Seagulls explains what to expect from the away side, too. Tickets are again in the spotlight, following the 1894 Group's huge survey of fans on ticketing issues - and there's also the retirement of Alvaro Negredo to consider. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
I saw a great Facebook post on one of the Appalachian Trail pages recently. Shelley Harris (Hopscotch) wrote her reflections after her thru-hike, offering common sense solutions to those contemplating such an adventure. Basically, Shelley suggested that you can figure it out as you go along, and you shouldn't stress the details. Our over-cautious, everybody-has-an-opinion world tends to forget the simple truths, which apply not only to hiking but also to everyday life. For me, Shelley was a breath of fresh air. For the first time in our Mighty Blue Class of 2025, both Beth and Dave are on the show. Beth shares her gear choices, while Dave has a few last-minute thoughts, and anticipates the impending journey ahead. Our book reading, Happy Hiking, by my friend, Emily Leonard is–of course–written from a woman's POV and a woman's voice. I hope you enjoy listening to my reading of it. If you'd like to buy the book, you can find it on Amazon at Happy Hiking: Falling in love on the Appalachian Trail, or on Emily's website, at Happy Hiking.

Goal Setting and Climbing Your "Mountain" Nothing in life that's worth achieving is going to come easy. Working toward a goal, putting your best foot forward and sweating through it makes achieving it all the more sweet. Why would becoming an amputee be anything different? If you were active before your amputation, then you know what can be done with a lot of work, grit, and determination. It won't be easy. It'll test your resolve MANY times, but, when you get to the goal you set for yourself, you will feel such a sense of excitement and joy like you've never felt! Don't worry about what others are doing or achieving. Remember that comparison is the thief of joy. You focus on you! Do what you can do now, and each day try to be better than the last. The next thing you'll realize is how far you've come since you started. One step at a time has been my mantra since my amputation. I can't look at the big picture or I'll get nervous or doubt what I'm capable of. Instead I focus on putting one foot down at a time, at my pace, and what I can do in this moment. And each ,moment is different. Today I might be whipping around the neighborhood, feeling confident and without pain, and then tomorrow I could be struggling with just walking slowly around my home. All you can do, is work hard with what you have been given each day, but if you can honestly say that you gave it your all then I promise that you will see strides at reaching your goals. One step at a time is meant to be metaphorical, and also very literal, for us amputees. Don't think about walking all day in your prosthesis when you get up, and don't just tell yourself that you'll put it on for a little bit or later today. Put it on with the mindset that you'll wear it for all you can, however long that will be today, knowing that each day brings its own struggles and accomplishments, but you don't know what kind of day it will be until you are in the midst of it. Skiing on one leg is definitely a mind over matter exercise! Mindset matters! What you tell yourself first thing in the morning is how your day will go. When I wake up, I know I will put my leg on first then go through my day. Somedays I cannot get to the gym because it hurts too much so I do what I can at home, keeping it on, and building my tolerance up for wearing it. Other days, I put it on and get a burst of energy and hike 4 to 5 miles without even thinking about it. Mindset matters and what you tell yourself will be the direction your mind takes, and what your body believes. Always get moving with your best intentions and your heart and mind in the most positive place you can be and then see how your day unfolds. One step at a time. This week, it is pretty straight forward. This week I want you to remember to keep speaking positivity to yourself. Write down "ONE STEP AT A TIME" on post it notes and place them in places you spend a lot of time in and around your house to remind yourself to take your goals and your actual steps at YOUR pace and ONE AT A TIME. Hiking is my favorite activity. Every hike is different and challenges me to be focused and push myself. Set a goal. Wherever you are right now physically, mentally, and based on your weather and location and decide what it will take each day to break it down and work towards it at your pace. You can achieve anything you put your mind to if you set mini goals for yourself, or stepping stones to that goal. Make the steps small enough to find success, and big enough to challenge yourself. First time hiking on snow! And then watch yourself break the barriers that you thought were there because of your circumstance. I believe in you! I believe we are all born to fight for what we want and desire. THAT is a Warrior mentality. So, rise up warriors, and sieze this moment. You are not broken, or weak, or disabled.

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
JC Van Etten, or Catmando returns to the show. We first met him on the Appalachian Trail a few years ago, I seem to have missed him on the PCT, but caught up with him again after his Continental Divide Trail thru-hike last year to complete his Triple Crown. Cat is a great raconteur, sharing plenty of advice through our conversation, as well as recording some of the epic sights he was able to see out on the CDT. One of those epic sights was a chance encounter with four grizzly bears which, startlingly, Cat decided to capture with his iPhone. Here's the link. Four Grizzlies!!! Dave Santi and I talked again, this time invoking our Desert Island Discs take-off, with Dave's choices of music that evoke memories for him.

In this episode of The Compelled Podcast, Emma Mae shares a heartfelt message about the beauty of walking by faith rather than by sight. Using personal reflections and the story of Philip from Acts 8, she explores how obedience to God often requires stepping out without knowing the full plan—much like baking cookies without a predictable recipe. Emma encourages listeners to trust in God's guidance, embrace the adventure of faith, and take steps of obedience even when the outcome is uncertain. Check it out for a sweet reminder that God is faithful to direct our paths and use our "yes" to impact others in ways we could never imagine! Learn more about your ad choices.

“New York is a city of possibility and endless exploration. There's always something new to discover around every corner.” – Elizabeth Gilbert Guest Introduction: Welcome to Exploring the Seasons of Life: Travel Edition. I'm Cindy MacMillan, your host and the owner of Pangea World Travel Agency, a boutique agency located on the Space Coast of Florida. If you enjoy today's episode, I'd love it if you shared it, left a review, or spread the word. Your support helps us inspire even more travelers to embark on their own adventures. So, pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea, settle in, and let's explore the world together—one incredible journey at a time. Now, it's my pleasure to introduce our guest today. Chris Shelley is a licensed New York City Sightseeing Guide. He offers private walking tours through his company Walk With Chris. He is also a Professional Wedding Officiant who has performed hundreds of ceremonies all around the country. His book Best Ceremony Ever, published by WW Norton, helps couples and wedding pros make ceremonies fun. He's a very social guy who loves his two very social, very unique jobs. With his diverse experiences and deep love for New York City, Chris is sure to bring fresh insights and great stories to today's conversation! Here's a glimpse of our conversation: Welcome to the podcast Chris. 1:58 I moved to New York City in 1992, right after graduating from Boston University, where I was part of a small acting conservatory. All 12 of us in the program moved to New York, hoping to make it in theater—or maybe even TV and film—since so much of the industry was based there. I was such a good actor that I ended up working on Wall Street. 4:40 My wife and I were in New Orleans, Louisiana, taking a walking tour with a local guide—something we love to do wherever we travel. We've done walking tours all over the world—Italy, Iceland, France, the Czech Republic, and many other places. But during this particular tour, I had a Eureka moment. I suddenly thought, Could I do this? It had everything I loved—social interaction, storytelling, even elements of stand-up and acting. I had always assumed you needed to be a history professor or an expert to lead tours, but in that moment, I started to see it differently. 9:35 When I take people to Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Grand Central, and other iconic landmarks, that's where I truly shine—I light up because I'm genuinely interested. Sure, I could learn a bunch of facts about different parts of the city, but without a personal connection, it just wouldn't be as engaging. 14:56 Tourists often stick to the middle of Manhattan and rarely venture to its edges. 28:41 I'd take them to Rockefeller Plaza. Yes, it's touristy, but it still feels like a unique and fascinating hub of the world. Unlike Times Square, it isn't all about commercial glitz—it's about the stunning architecture and the iconic sunken plaza. For part of the year, it's a skating rink, but the rest of the time, it transforms into a space for art exhibits and picnic tables. It's an incredible place with an energy all its own. 31:23 Rockefeller Center, the southeast corner of Central Park, and Washington Mews.

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
We have Tina Tempest on the show today. Tina, or Chunky, completed a SOBO thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2009. The trail had such an impact upon her life, that she and her husband, Brett, ultimately opened the Quarter Way Inn, a hostel near Marion, Virginia. Tina's breakfast at the hostel is the stuff of legend! But it is one of her side businesses that we're talking about today, as Tina is the owner of Bead By Bead Adventures, producing necklaces for many of the long distance trails, including two that I wear. There are plenty of ways to follow Tina, either online or in person. Check out these links: See Tina in person: AT Gateways at Amicalola Falls State Park in Georgia on February 28 - March 2, 2025.

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
Our main guest today is Nick Thatcher, who I found when he posted an epic Katahdin summit picture on Facebook. I hoped there would be more to his story than a December summit, so I reached out to him. He shared a story of determination and drive, culminating in that epic picture on the top of Katahdin. Nick made some intelligent choices for his hike that should inspire others in their own quest to fulfill an Appalachian Trail thru-hike. His calm demeanor will impress you. You can follow him on social media at Instagram (@realnickthatch), as well as his blog for the Trek at Nick Thatcher, Author at The Trek .

Dr Lydia Kuhn joins us this week to talk about both her Appalachian Trail thru-hike in 2020, and her CDT thru-hike last year, proving herself to be a “true badass.” She reminds us of the need to live your life on your terms, and not to be constrained by how others might want you to live your life. Lydia also shares some information on wilderness medicine that we should all pay attention to. Check out the link below to learn more.
