Michele Boccardi | Running Over Adversity - Part 3 | Better By Nature Podcast

Contact Michele!  Email: michelewellness360@gmail.com Instagram: @micheleboccardi_wellness Website: https://www.michelewellness360.com/ Women of Wisdom YouTube: https://youtube.com/@womenofwisdom?si=IqSsgc3yOc47_hQU Michele joins us again to bring us into her latest journey with adversity - the Devil's Den Ultra trail race.  Devil's Den website: https://racemozey.com/devils-den-ultra-1  Michele has nothing to prove to anyone else at this point. She has had a successful professional career, overcome intense personal adversity of many different varieties, and most recently defeated cancer. Not many people have had to overcome as much as Michele has, so by most human standards, Michele has kicked enough ass to justify taking it easy in retirement. That doesn't mean she doesn't have anything left to prove to herself.  At 64 years old, Michele took on the biggest physical challenge of her lifetime - running the Devil's Den Ultra for 24 hours.  Make no mistake, this is no track race. The terrain on this course makes it one of the toughest ultra courses in the country. Over 1000 feet of elevation on each 6+ mile lap. It's dark, it's cold, and every step holds the risk of injury if you aren't paying attention.  Michele takes us through her experience of looking her demons in the face and defeating the Devil's Den.  Life Leaf Remedies [https://lifeleafremedies.com/] Your life improved by nature.

Robert Head | Hemp for the Win! | Better By Nature Podcast

Robert Head joins us for this episode! Contact Robert:  robert@bluecordfarms.com hemp4victory.info Texas Veterans for Medical Cannabis: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551319898169 After his career in the US Army, Robert found his calling in advocating for access to the cannabis plant for veterans. Robert first discovered the benefits of cannabis for himself when it helped him walk away from alcohol without really thinking about it. This improved his relationships with his family and friends, and he also noticed physical and mental health benefits from it.  From there he felt compelled to reach as many veterans as he could to educate them about the potential benefits of cannabis, and he's been working to increase access to the plant ever since.

Tough Mudders on World's Toughest Mudder | Michele Boccardi & Jason Mosel | Better By Nature Podcast

Michele's Contact Email: michelewellness360@gmail.com Instagram: @micheleboccardi_wellness Jasons' Contact Email: jrmosel@yahoo.com Instagram: @racemozey  If you haven't listened to our other episodes with Michele and Jason, definitely check them out. Both of them have incredible stories of overcoming many different brands of adversity and continuing to take life head-on.  For this episode they both joined me to talk about a specific type of self-inflicted adversity, endurance racing. Specifically the World's Toughest Mudder.  Running and endurance racing is something that the 3 of us have embraced to help us take on this life, as tough as it is. Jason has done 3 World's Toughest Mudders, each with its own story of adversity. Michele has been in Jason's pit crew every step of the way, and now she is preparing for a big race of her own.  Michele is preparing for a race that is 50 miles in 30 hours called Devil's Den, and Jason is actually the race director for Devil's Den. This race is similar to what I'm preparing for in November, so Michele and I have been trading training updates with each other as we get ready for the hardest endurance tests either of us have ever faced. Whether it's cancer, or attempted suicide, or anything in between, Jason and Michele have faced some of the toughest adversity this life has to offer. How have they managed to overcome and press on? Natural remedies.  Without natural remedies like running, natural foods, cannabis, and human relationships, the 3 of us may not be here today. Natural remedies can be life-saving. They aren't just a part of a trendy lifestyle that consists of shopping at Trader Joe's. Natural remedies of all kinds have incredible healing power. All we have to do is embrace them for their healing power, and take steps in our lives away from the unnatural things that harm us every single day.  Natural remedies is a lifestyle that can change your life for the better.  Feel better today, yall!

Spencer Morey - Horned Frog to Kinder Frog

Spencer takes through his side of Annie Morey's miraculous journey.  From the diagnosis, to the operation, to the day Annie started Kinder Frogs.  Spencer's life had uniquely prepared him for what he was about to experience with Annie.  In college at Texas Christian University, Spencer volunteered with the Kinder Frogs program. This exposed him to children with Down Syndrome and the challenges they have to overcome, long before his daughter would become a Kinder Frog.  Spencer's career in the surgical devices industry also gave him unique insight to the operation Annie would undergo at just 5 months old. Nothing can fully prepare you for seeing your baby daughter with her chest open while a team of experts work on her heart. However, Spencer's experience helped him to understand what was happening and how it was happening in ways most to have the knowledge or experience to understand.  Kind of like turbulence on an airplane. If you are flying for the first time and experience turbulence, it might alarm you. But a pilot that has flow thousands of successful flights doesn't think twice about turbulence because they understand it.  Annie's journey started with turbulence, and then turned into a full on mid-flight emergency when her operation took twice as long as expected.  Spencer takes us through those moments where only God's hands could save Annie's life, and how he managed to remain strong for his family in the face of the most extreme adversity.  Kinder Frogs: https://coe.tcu.edu/lab-schools/kinderfrogs-school/index.php [https://coe.tcu.edu/lab-schools/kinderfrogs-school/index.php] Life Leaf Remedies [https://lifeleafremedies.com/] Your life improved by nature.
