Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2468485/fan_mail/new] In this episode of I Live Here Westchester, host Jim Jockle sits down with Cait Conley, a fourth-generation Hudson Valley native, Special Operations combat veteran, and candidate for Congress in New York’s 17th District — one of the most competitive races in the country. Cait shares how growing up in a blue-collar, service-oriented family shaped her values, why 9/11 led her to West Point, and what it was like to serve for 16 years on active duty, including six combat deployments and groundbreaking work in tactical Special Operations. The conversation moves from the battlefield to the Situation Room, where Cait later helped lead counterterrorism policy at the National Security Council and election security efforts at CISA. From there, the discussion turns to politics — and the hard questions. Cait lays out her views on affordability, housing, healthcare, AI, climate change as a national security threat, reproductive rights, veterans’ care, and what “political courage” actually means in Washington today. She explains why NY-17 is a true purple district, why she believes voters deserve a different kind of leadership, and what she would prioritize if elected. This is a candid, high-stakes conversation about service, accountability, and the future of a district — and a country — at a crossroads.

Geoff Rose | Why Your Body Breaks Down — and the Structural Approach That Actually Fixes It

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2468485/fan_mail/new] Geoff Rose started his career as a strength coach at Clemson. He left convinced the problem wasn't the coaches or the methodology — it was the model. Not enough time, not enough specificity, and no framework for building structure before building load. Today Geoff runs REP Athletics in Larchmont, where he works with elite athletes and chronic pain patients using the same methodology: ELDOA, myofascial stretching, and structural patterning. The thesis is simple and it holds up — structure dictates function. Fix the structure, and both pain and performance move in the right direction. In this conversation we get into how fascia actually works and why most people have no idea how connected the body really is, why a 60-year-old with back pain and Usain Bolt were dealing with the same root problem, what REP looks for in a new client that a conventional trainer or PT would walk right past, why Westchester youth athletes are showing up with injuries that have no business appearing in a 12-year-old, and why physical therapy often fails — not because of the therapist, but because of the business model forcing them to see eight patients an hour. If you have done PT, seen doctors, and still are not right — this is the conversation to hear.
