Episode SummaryGrab your lifevest! This week on the Fit is Freedom Podcast, we're setting sail with an amazingly inspiring guest, Lorie Tesny. She is a two-time cancer survivor who used her experiences to change her life and prioritize the important things. She left her life behind to set sail and start a podcast, Sailing Through Life, to inspire others on her journey. Join us as we discuss the following and more:Lorie's StoryBalancing Sailing and HealthHow to Not Sail Through LifeHow to Course Correct in LifeThere are a lot of magical parallels between sailing and life. Join us as we explore those in this episode. Lorie's StoryUp until just a few years ago, Lorie Tesny led a “normal” life. Then, everything changed. With each twist and turn, her life became less and less “normal” and more and more authentic to who she truly is. Just one month after completing her treatment for stage three melanoma, Lorie received the gut-wrenching news that it had, in fact, returned. She fought for her life a second time and completed her treatments in February of 2020, just in time for a global pandemic. After enduring the recurrent storms and unexpected twists and turns from life, Lorie figured out how to stop sailing through life. Her solution? Start sailing, literally. LinksLorie Tesny WebsiteLorie Tesny FacebookLorie Tesny Instagram Balancing Sailing and HealthAs Lorie made the decision to change her life and start sailing, she knew it wasn't going to be easy. Sailing is a very physically demanding activity with a lot of unexpected twists and turns. While some may think of sailing as sailing the entire world, circling the Earth, that's just not realistic for Lorie and she didn't let that stop her. In order to balance her health and her passion for sailing, she chooses to sail locally on a semi-permanent basis. That way, Lorie is still working towards her goal while ensuring she can make her doctors appointments and check-ins.How to Not Sail Through LifeWhether you've faced some hard times like Lorie or you're simply finding yourself in a rut, going through the motions, it's important to find ways to get out of your comfort zone. You don't want to look back on your life and feel like you simply sailed through. There are some ways you can proactively prevent this including: focusing on what you can control, ride the waves that you're given, slowing down when the waves are rough and taking advantage of the times when the conditions are perfect.How to Course CorrectIf you feel you are sailing through life and you need to course correct, all hope is not lost! First and foremost, think about what you want to do and commit to it. Write down goals and aspirations to make it tangible. Start by making small changes, taking little steps to get you on the correct path.
Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension that can seriously affect your body and mind. When under stress, taking control of your feelings can be hard at times, especially when coupled with a heavy load of responsibilities, it often becomes too much to handle. Seeing a doctor or taking medicine can be a solution, but what if there is a tool that can de-stress you using our own mind? Matt DeCoursey talks with Sarah Hill, CEO, and founder of Healium. Healium uses virtual and augmented reality technology to create an environment that not only helps you destress but also helps you target stressors.

For this podcast, Pamper My Business host, Kim Beasley, will be interviewing entrepreneur Sarah Hill. Sarah is CEO & Chief Storyteller at StoryUP, the maker of Healium Virtual. As a former stressed-out TV reporter who one day lost it, Sarah has 20 years of experience in interactive media. After decades of choosing to consume information high in negative fiber, it took a couple trips to the hospital for Sarah to understand that her media diet was, in fact, making her sick. After realizing it was anxiety giving her panic attacks, Sarah tried medication but it made her feel numb.Sarah reached out to a psychologist so they could write her a digital prescription that would help her sleep. After a couple weeks of training, Sarah developed a narrative that helped her fall asleep. The digital prescription along with Sarah's made up stories formed the foundation of Healium XR today. PMB Nuggets shared by Sarah in this podcast:1. A unique way that entrepreneurs are using my business tool is during stressful situations or when they get bad news. 2. Healium is four minutes of virtual peace in a box. It connects positive feeling states to easy to remember stories that keep you upright. When you’re faced with a stressful situation, you can unpack that positive memory, remember how good your mind and body are supposed to feel and remember your waveforms controlling your environment.

Meet Sarah Hill, founder of StoryUp. StoryUp is a tribe of storytellers, psychologists, developers, filmmakers, audio engineers and technologists. They began in 2015, trying to find a solution for terminally-ill WWII Veterans who were not able to physically travel to see their memorials in Washington, DC. These men and women could not physically go on what's called an Honor Flight. So, Sarah and the team started Honor Everywhere. These veterans experience an immersive event where they get to “go” to the WWII memorial in DC. It's incredible. Now StoryUp's virtual reality experiences reach much further… which you'll hear about during our conversation. Sarah believes that storytellers - even when they don't carry the official title - have power."A lot of people who are CEOs of their own company are storytellers... although they might not realize it or hold that title. To me, all founders and CEOs of companies are the Chief Storyteller. You're not just selling you product. You're selling your story." -Sarah Hill on storytelling in business
