   Secret to a Happy Life - Do Hard Things...Together

   In this Valentine’s-month special, we sit down with Benjamin & Janelle—a couple we met at Spitfire Ultra and then kept spotting at other Eastern Idaho races (Over The Top, Palisades, River of No Return, and more).We talk about what people don’t tell you about running as a couple: the pace differences, the agreements, the “I’ll see you at the finish line” reality… and how support often happens behind the scenes (planning, nutrition, logistics, and yes—spreadsheets).In this interview, you’ll hear:✅ How their running journey started (cross country → trail racing)✅ Why they usually don’t race side-by-side (and why that works)✅ How they handle different strengths, moods, and rough miles✅ The quiet truth: sometimes encouragement is just presence✅ Their funniest Spitfire moment (blood, a wave, and “don’t bleed out”)✅ Their favorite post-race reward: food rituals (potatoes + cookies included)✅ Why Spitfire keeps pulling them back: small race energy, community vibe, early-season challenge, and running terrain you normally can’t access✅ Their life wisdom: “Do hard stuff… together.”If you’re a couple who runs together (or wants to), this episode will give you real insight—and a few laughs—about how to make it work without turning it into a relationship stress-test.📅 Race Day: April 18, 2026 (3rd Saturday of April)📝 Register + Info: www.SpitfireUltra.com👕 Swag Deadline: Register by Thursday night (orders placed Friday) for hoodie/tee swag.Challenge: Share this with one person you want beside you in hard things—training partner, spouse, best friend, coworker, whoever.

   Living Courageously Exposed with Court Creeden | Why Success Still Feels Empty: Breaking Free from Inherited Patterns

   What if the life you built was never really yours?In this profound episode of Living Courageously Exposed, Jen Saunders sits down with Court Creeden, financial advisor turned soul guide, to unpack how inherited patterns, generational energy, and internalized roles shape everything—our relationships, careers, and even our identities.From feeling like a misfit in childhood to questioning the modern “success” narrative, Court’s story will challenge you to look deeper at who you really are beneath the systems you were born into.This episode is for the seekers—the ones who feel like they’re doing everything “right” but still feel disconnected.

You’re vibrating with someone else’s pain.”“Healing isn’t about changing who you are—it’s remembering who you were before the programming.”“Most self-help just teaches you how to swim better in an ocean you were never meant to be in.”“Light attracts light. But you can’t find peace if your body is wired for chaos.”🧭 Resources Mentioned:Family Constellation TherapyJournaling & self-inquiry practicesEnergetic frequency mappingCourt’s upcoming book (coming 2026!)📍Follow Court Creedon on TikTok and Instagram @courtcreedon💬 Let’s Keep the Conversation Going:🌀 Do you feel like you’re finally starting to unravel your inherited patterns?🌀 What role or identity are you being called to let go of right now?🌀 Have you ever felt uncomfortable in peace?👇 Drop a comment—we’d love to hear your story.🔔 Subscribe & SupportIf this episode cracked something open in you, hit subscribe, give us a thumbs up, and share it with someone who’s ready to reclaim their truth.
