93 | Tiffany Farrar, LPCC | Who Are You Outside of Your Sport? Identity, Resilience & Mental Performance

This week we sat down with Tiffany Farrar, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Founder of Confluence Counseling in St. Paul, MN — and someone who brings a rare combination of clinical mental health expertise and a deep love for sport. Tiffany works with individual athletes, collegiate teams, and everyday people navigating the messy intersection of performance and mental wellness. In this episode, we dig into what it really means to build mental toughness — not just grit your teeth through hard things, but actually train your mind the way you train your body. We talk about the danger of tying your whole identity to one sport or activity, and why knowing who you are outside of your sport might be the most important thing you can do before an injury ever happens. We also get into the science behind suppressed emotions and how they show up in the body, why Tiffany thinks "lazy" is a lazy word, and what an approach mindset actually looks like in the middle of a brutal 400-meter repeat. Tiffany also gets personal, sharing her own experience with cancer and broken feet — and what rebuilding looked like on the other side. Rather than glossing over the hard parts, she talks about what it took to stop comparing her comeback to who she used to be, sit with the grief of lost time, and eventually find genuine excitement in showing up again. Her story is proof that the tools she teaches aren't just clinical — they're lived. Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or just someone trying to get out of their own head, this one is packed with practical tools and honest conversation.

91 | Timothy Borowski | Unlocking What’s Stuck: Health, Stress, and the Patterns We Don’t See

This episode hits a little different. We sit down with Tim Borowski, naturopath, wellness entrepreneur, and founder of Axon Movement, for a conversation that goes way beyond surface-level health advice. Tim’s work is centered around one idea: finding and unlocking what is stuck. Whether that’s chronic pain, long-standing health issues, or patterns in the nervous system that haven’t responded to anything else, Tim takes a systems-based approach to uncover root causes and create real change. We dive into: * Why so many people feel like they’ve “tried everything” but still aren’t getting better * The role of the nervous system in performance, stress, and recovery * Why fixing symptoms isn’t always the same as solving the problem * The connection between mindset, physiology, and daily life * What “health” actually means and if there’s even a clear answer We also get into the gray areas of health. The stuff that isn’t always black and white. Where science, experience, intuition, and individuality all overlap. This conversation moves from practical to philosophical in the best way. It is one of those episodes that makes you pause, reflect, and maybe even question some of the things you’ve always believed about training, recovery, and what it means to actually feel good. Not just how you’re training… but how you’re living. And maybe more importantly, how it all feels right now.

90 | WG2CU 06 | 10 Life Updates From Us Heading Into Wedding Month!

We’re officially one month out from getting married… so yeah, life is feeling full in the best and most chaotic way. In this WG2CU episode, we’re catching you up with 10 life updates as we head into wedding month. Technically… it’s 5 updates, but you’re getting both of our perspectives on each one, so we’re calling it 10 🙂 We kick things off with where we’re at heading into the wedding, what’s been exciting, what’s been stressful, and everything in between. From there, we dive into training and racing. Jacob shares his recent half marathon breakthrough and what it felt like to finally hit a goal after a long plateau. Kailee talks through her marathon build, the shift from ultras to road racing, and the mindset change that’s helped her fully lean into chasing a time goal. We also get into becoming debt free, business growth on both sides, and what it actually looks like to balance all of this at once. And like always, we keep it real. Stress, saying no, body image, and the pressure that can come with growth all come up in this one. A fun, honest, and very real snapshot of life right now.

89 | Joe McMahan | "I’d Regret It For The Rest Of My Life If I Didn’t Try"

Welcoming back Joe McMahan to the We Get 2 Do This Podcast! Joe McMahan is back on the podcast over a year after his first appearance (episode 26). Joe is a running coach, content creator, and the founder of Azoia Endurance, a nutrition company built around simple, real ingredients for endurance athletes. Over the past year, he’s been building his brand, coaching runners, growing an online presence, and working through the very real challenges of scaling a product from the ground up. And a lot has changed. New city. New chapter. New challenges. And a whole lot of growth in between. We talk about what it actually looks like to build something from the ground up when things don’t go according to plan. Joe opens up about the reality of trying to scale Azoia, hitting roadblocks with manufacturing, and navigating the mental side of entrepreneurship when the path forward isn’t clear. This conversation goes way beyond business. We get into the pressure of chasing big goals, the tension between ambition and being present, and what it means to build a life you actually enjoy while you’re in the middle of building it. We also dive into: * What’s changed since Joe’s first time on the podcast * The behind-the-scenes challenges of growing a product from scratch * Why “hard” might actually be a sign you’re onto something meaningful * The balance between content, connection, and authenticity * Learning to be where your feet are while still chasing more * The reality of entrepreneurship that most people don’t share * Relationships, future family, and redefining success There’s a moment in this episode where Joe says he’d regret it for the rest of his life if he didn’t at least try.... ...and that's really what this episode is about. ***** All things Joe McMahan + Azoia are below!
