Ordinary coaches hang out on Zoom. Trailblazers? They get in the room. I'll never stop believing this: the most life-changing transformations, wildest epiphanies, and deepest connections don't happen online. They happen face-to-face. It's why my signature Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program  incorporates an in-person retreat. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I brought together the most incredible alcohol-free leaders to this certification retreat in Palm Springs and helped them transform into 6-figure business owners. The 5X retreat is always an emotional weekend for me. It's when I finally get to hug everyone in person and create a magical, shared experience, complete with sound baths, meditation, spontaneous jumps into the pool with our clothes on, and our “Come as You'll Be” party where we embody our five-year future selves. Our retreats draw leaders from ALL over the world (UK, Germany, South Africa, even Bali!) and this special weekend becomes the anchor that fuels their mindset and soul-level conviction long after they fly home. If you want to be part of this special sisterhood and step into your own transformation, jump into the next round of the certification program. I hope to meet you at the next retreat in Dana Point.    IN THIS EPISODE: Why in-person retreats (not endless Zoom calls!) — are what I SWEAR by for transformational breakthroughs and launching 6-figure coaching businesses Behind the scenes at these retreats: exclusive pool parties, soul-anchoring rituals like the “Come As You'll Be” party, and the infamous red bracelet manifestation ritual Why an epic vision (not “safe” baby steps!) is essential if you want to become a sought-after thought leader Why alcohol-free living is only going to get bigger as time goes on, with 50% of Americans now saying they want to drink less or not at all   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED If you know you're meant to help other people change their relationship with alcohol and achieve deep healing (along with their bigger dreams), apply for the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program – and get 5x certified as a world class alcohol-free coach, mindset coach, success coach, NLP practitioner, and hypnosis practitioner.

At 85, Anna Rappaport continues to defy expectations of aging. Once uncertain about her relevance, she went on to earn five lifetime achievement awards, including Trailblazers in Actuarial Science. Beyond her groundbreaking work in retirement research and policy, Anna embraces new chapters with creativity and purpose. After decades of balancing career, caregiving, and family, Anna rebuilt her life following her husband's death, moving to The Admiral at the Lake in Chicago. There she discovered the joys of “families of choice,” balcony gardens, and vibrant community life. Anna is also a passionate urban sketcher—an art form she has practiced since the 1960s—with the goal of one day seeing her work in a museum. She sells her art to benefit charities, advocates for solo agers and people with disabilities, and is writing a book on “how I'm aging well.” Her story is a testament to resilience, reinvention, and the power of pursuing passions no matter the limits.

This week on the Tough Girl Podcast, we welcome Emma Wilkinson—a freelance health journalist, ultra runner, mother of three, and co-author of the empowering book Ultra Women: The Trailblazers Defying Sexism in Sport.  Emma's journey into ultra running didn't begin until her 40s, but once she discovered the joy of going long and slow, there was no turning back. In this honest and motivating conversation, Emma shares how she went from half marathons and road running to self-created 100K adventures in the mountains of Snowdonia. Alongside fellow runner and friend Lily Canter, she set out to research and write Ultra Women, a book that celebrates female endurance athletes and dives into the science, stories, and social constructs around women in ultra sport. Emma talks openly about what inspired the book, how she balanced full-time work, parenting, and running while writing it, and what she learned about the unique strengths women bring to endurance challenges—especially around fatigue resistance, pain management, and mental toughness. If you've ever doubted your capabilities, struggled with self-identifying as a “runner,” or wondered if your body was made for ultras—this episode is for you. Emma's message is simple and powerful: don't put limits on yourself—just give it a go.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

RUNDOWN   Not a roast but a convo about Taylor Swift's appearance with the Kelce brothers. Maybe some Kylie vs. Taylor banter, and Billy Joel's new documentary. Mitch and Hotshot run through notable August 18th birthdays and remembrances before spotlighting historic sports moments—from George Brett's chase for .400 to Earl Campbell's retirement and Rich Beem's upset of Tiger Woods. Then a little Beatles-in-Seattle tour lore. From there, the show jumps into Ed Sullivan's power to launch music careers, including the Commodores' near-miss. The Mariners' playoff push and the Seahawks' preseason promise. Mitch praises the offensive line and Sam Darnold's sharp play, while Hotshot keeps him grounded with the refrain: “It's the preseason.” The duo even dream on a Trey Hendrickson trade. The Mariners No-Table crew dives into a tough 2–4 stretch against Baltimore and New York, citing both rotation struggles and lineup issues, while finding optimism in Bryce Miller's return and Brian Wu's consistency. Gino Suarez's slump and playoff rotation questions loom large, as bold predictions fly for the Phillies and A's series. Brady Henderson of ESPN joins to break down Uchenna Nwosu's return, the unlikely Hendrickson trade scenario, Jake Bobo's breakout, and Clint Kubiak's offensive reboot. He also highlights Zach Charbonnet's growing role, Sam Darnold's fit in the new scheme, and the roster battles heating up ahead of Week 1. KJ-Aren'ts—Mitch and Jason Puckett banter over podcast quirks, golf habits, chowder debates in the heat, and family traditions. The conversation winds into nostalgic territory with Christmas memories and video game firsts, from Pong to Nintendo.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over Slot Substack Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN.com Jason Puckett | Radio Host, KJ-Aren'ts & PuckSports.com   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Taylor Swift & Kelce banter; Billy Joel doc; celeb birthdays & tributes; August 18th sports milestones (Conigliaro, Brett, Walker, Campbell, Beem); Beatles' '64 U.S. tour launches. 20:47 | Ed Sullivan's sway over music legends; The Commodores' near-miss; Mariners in a pennant chase. 32:40 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Mariners skid after hot streak; Orioles and Mets series disappoint; Brady blames the bats, Joe blames the rotation; Bryce Miller returns to boost staff; Brian Wu's historic streak sparks Cy Young talk; Gino Suarez slumping; Phillies and A's ahead; Note Table predictions fly — Cal Raleigh homers, Julio vs. Sam Darnold completions, and a Philly series win call. 56:47 | GUEST: Brady Henderson; Seahawks trending up in preseason; Nwosu returns from PUP, Hendrickson trade unlikely; Jake Bobo shines with two TDs; offensive line dominance and Clint Kubiak's system highlighted; Charbonnet pushing Walker for RB reps; Darnold efficient in new offense; depth battles at linebacker, WR3, and guard unfold as preseason finale looms. 1:19:19 | GUEST: Jason Puckett; Mitch & Jason Puckett riff on podcast quirks, golf, clam chowder challenges, Christmas traditions, and childhood video games in a lighthearted KJR reunion segment. 1:38:30 | Other Stuff Segment: Georgia TV station typo: Michael Penix Jr. miswritten as Michael Penis Jr., Husky Stadium fan sign prank spelling “Penis”, Cookbooks → Marshawn Lynch's new book Yeast Mode, Congratulations: Bonnie Lake Sumner Little League World Series first win; pitcher Lin Chine from Chinese Taipei throwing 82mph (~108mph MLB equivalent), Mariners: Brian Wu ties Cy Young with pitching streak (24 starts, 6+ innings, ≤2 walks), Taylor Swift “Easter egg” conspiracy pointing to Super Bowl halftime show, NCAA punishment: Michigan football (Connor Stallions, Sharon Moore suspension, Jim Harbaugh show-cause penalties), QB John Mattie (ex-Washington State, now Oklahoma) under investigation for sports gambling (Venmo trail), Arch Manning Venmo request for $50 (declined), NFL preseason fights: Jaguars fan vs. Saints fan brawl in the Superdome, Trailblazers sold to Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dunin ($4B), ESPN/Spike Lee Colin Kaepernick docuseries canceled, Sha'Carri Richardson (airport altercation with boyfriend Christian Coleman, police video released), Washington's first In-N-Out Burger opening in Ridgefield → traffic concerns, city staging plans.
