Today's topic is Reflection. At an event called Creative Mornings, I heard a friend, William Mcneely, speak wisdom into a crowd around the word reflection. This made me reflect on my life and passions. After about 11 months, I return to the mic and bring another episode.

In today's society, mindfulness and mental health have become popular topics of discussion. Since losing my athlete identity in 2017, I have had to face and overcome my own mental health challenges. Although it wasn't easy, it was for sure worth it. 

With 3+ years of meditation experience, journals full of reflections, and the apparent increase in the importance of mental health, I would like to create a space where I can share my experiences, have a conversation, answer questions, and support my community with their mental health struggles. 

Be on the lookout for more conversations and podcasts around Mental Health and Mindfulness. I look forward to covering this topic and connecting on a deeper level with my community. 

Feel Free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to support!

On November 7-8 from noon to noon, we had over 30 individuals participate in 24 hours of fitness. This was a different workout, every hour on the hour. We did this to raise money to grow the sport of wrestling in the Carolinas and support families that have children with life-altering diseases.
