95 | Dr. Spencer Lindholm | "Pain Is the Last Thing to Arrive & the First Thing to Go"

This week we headed down to Eden Prairie, Minnesota to sit down with Dr. Spencer Lindholm, sports chiropractor and owner of Great North Athletics — and honestly, the gym space alone was worth the trip. Spencer has over a decade of experience in sports injury, rehabilitation, and performance training, and he's built his practice around one core belief: if you have a body, you're an athlete, and movement is medicine. In this episode, we get into what personalized, whole-person care actually looks like in practice — and why the traditional model of rushing people in and out the door just doesn't cut it when you're trying to figure out why someone keeps getting hurt. Spencer breaks down the most common running form issues he sees (hint: your posterior chain is probably not working as hard as you think it is), why load management errors are behind the majority of training-related injuries, and how he thinks about gait retraining without throwing your whole training plan out the window. We also talk about the real cost of skipping the basics — sleep, hydration, stress — and how no amount of red light therapy or cold plunging is going to save you if your foundation is cracked. Spencer is refreshingly direct about all of it, and brings the kind of nerdy, puzzle-solving energy that makes you want to go get a full movement assessment immediately. Whether you're a runner dealing with a nagging injury, someone who's been told "just don't do that anymore," or a practitioner trying to do better for your patients — this one is worth your time. ***** Keep up with Spencer and Great North Athletics: Instagram: @greatnorthathletics [https://www.instagram.com/greatnorthathletics/] Website: Great North Athletics [https://www.greatnorthathletics.com/] ***** Follow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@weget2dothispod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/weget2dothispod/] Email us questions/comments at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/weget2dothispod/]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠weget2dothis@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://creators.spotify.com/dash/show/4fK2efy10hN9gU9Q5s4YRY/episode/1x5eZ4KWnaOrN8yIzJGz5C/weget2dothis@gmail.com] Check out the video portion of our show at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@weget2dothis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@weget2dothis] For business information hit up the links below: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Kailee Acupuncture Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.drkaileeacu.com/]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.oakendurance.com/] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Oak Endurance Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.oakendurance.com/] Reviews go SUCH A LONG WAY and it would mean the world to us if you took a second out of your busy life to leave one :) ⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠ [https://open.spotify.com/show/4fK2efy10hN9gU9Q5s4YRY]: follow the show, tap the three dots near the podcast title, then tap rate show ⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠ [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-get-2-do-this/id1762324413]: follow the show, scroll to the bottom to Ratings and Reviews, then leave stars or write a review ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@weget2dothis]: subscribe and drop a comment on the episode Thank you for being here.

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.
