Everybody has that one memory, that one time they did the most epic leg day and then sitting down to go to the toilet the next day is nearly impossible... even walking is a challenge!

We all get that nice pain the next day but what does it mean? 

If you do a workout and you don't feel sore the next day... did you even work out? 

Was the workout even effective? 

Did the workout even help you towards your goals if you didn't feel any type of good muscle pain?

Beating a Brain Tumour and Forging a Strong Mindset!

On this episode our hosts speak with the amazing lady Renee Jennison and walk through her battle with cancer.  With the extremely devastating diagnosis of a tumour the size of a mandarin in her brain, the choice to fight or to give up was an easy one for this outstanding lady.  Forging a strong mindset was the only way to fight through! Perspective is always key in life.  There are some challenges that are bigger or smaller than others, and it's how you approach beating them that counts.

 She had a mandarin sized tumor removed from the right side of her brain that has an 80 percent mortality rate.  She has done something truly amazing in surviving this brutal health condition and her mindset throughout the adversity was the epitome of strength. 

Chatting with her helps to provide us all with a great perspective check with someone who has faced real adversity in life.  This is not to say that all problems are not valid, but something we are all guilty of is making problems bigger than they are and using them as excuses to not continue pursuing our goals.  Listen in and hear about a real-life miracle!
