In this episode, we explore the SAFE Symposium, a conference designed to bring together community members and organizations working to address child sexual abuse, exploitation, and trafficking.

The SAFE Symposium creates a space for organizations to connect, share the work they are doing, identify the needs and gaps within our community, and discover where collaboration can make a greater impact. Just as importantly, it gives community members an opportunity to better understand what is happening around them, learn from the organizations on the front lines, and discover tangible ways they can get involved.

I coach runners who care about performance, but aren't willing to sacrifice their entire life to chase it.

I've lived the obsession version of the sport. High-milage weeks. Early mornings.  Late nights.  Training fit into the space where life should have been. It worked - and it came at a cost.

That experience shapes the coach I am today.

My focus is durability,  consistency, and context. Training that can actually be executed in a full, demanding life. Performance still matters.  But staying healthy, present, and capable year after year matters more.

What is the right way to help with the awareness of suicide?  I pose some questions, talk about some of the things I've seen on social, and share how I feel about trying to have the conversation.

I wish I had all the answers.  I wish I could approach it all perfectly. All I know is that the only way we make a difference is by trying our best by talking it out.

If you have any resources you can share please do so that I can put them out there.

I got to sit down with Connor and talk to him a bit about his enlistment and if he feels like the 4th is any different.  The conversation took a turn to converse about his beautiful friend Ava Olivarez, whose birthday is the 4th of July.  She recently passed away in a tragic accident, and will always hold a special place.

Welcome season 4! We are keeping this one for always. Find a way to be able to drive a little reckless. Bumper cars, bumper boats, go-carts. The stories that fill our minds of her driving will keep a smile on our face and laughter in our hearts. All be it, it was also a little scary. Mostly funny, so we will hold onto that.

We talk about the mix of pride, gratitude, anticipation, and emotion that comes with watching a child step into adulthood and choose a path of service. It's a heartfelt conversation about family, growth, sacrifice, and the...

Find an orchestra performance. Go to a symphony concert. Do something to bring viola music into your life.  Taylor started playing the viola in middle school. She would quietly practice in her room. I was so thankful when her high school teacher created cafe nights so that I had the opportunity to actually hear her play.

I want to start by grounding us in the reality of child sexual abuse, because a lot of us grow up thinking, “that wouldn’t happen in my family” or “I’d see the signs.” But the statistics tell a different story. Abuse is more common than we’re comfortable admitting, and in most cases, it’s not a stranger—it’s someone the child already knows and trusts.

That can feel unsettling to hear, but the goal here isn’t to create fear—it’s to create awareness. Because the more we understand what’s actually happening, the more we can d...

Today’s episode is another deeply personal one.

I’m sitting down with Trudy who has always felt more like a cousin than my aunt—someone I’ve laughed with, grown with, and shared life with in a way that goes beyond titles. But today, we’re stepping into a different kind of conversation—one that takes courage, honesty, and a lot of trust.

In this episode, she opens up about her childhood an...

Go for a walk or a run. Taylor started running and had moments where she truly loved it and other times where she disliked it, but always wanted to like it. She would get something in her where she would just get up and go on a long run without having trained for such a long run. I think it helped her get through all of her thoughts. So if you have something you need to work through give it a try. If running truly isn't something you want to try, grab a friend and have a good...
