230: The 20,000-Mile Mindset: What Keeps Us Going When Motivation Fades with Savannah Schuring
When initial excitement wears off and you are left with endless miles or endless work, how do you actually keep going?
In this episode, I chat with Savannah Schuring, a long-distance hiker, researcher, and author who has logged over 20,000 miles on trails across the U.S. Savannah pairs her own deep lived experience with qualitative research from nearly 100 interviews with thru-hikers to examine how endurance, motivation, and trail community shift under sustained pressure. We dive into the psychology of long-term persistence, why solo adventures rebuild self-perception, how trail families pull us through dark moments, and how to navigate the messy process of reintegrating into everyday life after a massive physical feat.

229: The Ripple Effect of Challenging Yourself: Ironman 70.3 Recap
What happens when you choose to step completely outside your comfort zone and pursue a goal that scares you? In this episode, we tackle the massive mental and physical shifts that come with training for and completing an Ironman 70.3. From the initial spark of motivation to navigating the inevitable race-day curveballs, we explore how embracing the "hard moments" reshapes our perspective on what is possible.
But doing hard things isn’t just a solo endeavor—it creates a ripple effect. When we choose to push our limits, we implicitly give the people around us permission to expand their own boundaries. Tune in for a raw reflection on race day logistics, the power of an uplifting community, the freedom of pivoting your goals, and why you should always choose to do the hard things entirely for yourself.
