Summary
Larry Gaier is an Active Life 1 on 1 coach who you have heard from before (in episode 3). Brittany is the reason why we do what we do at Active Life. In this episode you are going to laugh, you are going to learn, and you might even cry.
Brittany came to us 2+ years ago and we failed her, we didn't get her to buy so we couldn't help. When Brittany came back a year later, she needed surgery and was unfortunately outside of our scope.
The third time was the charm, six months after her SECOND surgery, Brittany was back on the phone with me, audibly crying through the phone. Her life had been turned upside down from the pain her shoulder was causing her. Her job was in doubt, her identity was stripped, her workouts were non existent, she couldn't put deodorant on, and her marriage was in doubt from all of the depression and anxiety she was suffering from. Things were bad.
What happened next? Well, you're going to have to listen. Bring tissues.
Minute Breakdown:
0-10 - What happened at the Boston workshop...
11-20 - "My ego got the best of me"
21-30 - How language developed trust
31-40 - What is pain?
41-50 - The importance of a social outlet
51-60 - "I want to be able to learn the things I need to learn in order to save someone else from the pain and the trauma and the downward spiral they're headed in, in their life.... I wish I said yes on that first call"
61- 70 - Advice from Brittany

| 0:07.7 | before bed. Let me tell you something. Any of you guys out there who have nighttime |
| 0:12.2 | rituals, morning rituals, and they include any kind of food or drink, if you're |
| 0:16.8 | looking for something healthy to put into one of those rituals, I love |
| 0:20.7 | Organify Gold right before bed. Turmeric and Rishi infused. It's a gently dried |
| 0:30.1 | superfood tea so I feel like when I'm drinking it at nighttime, not only is it |
| 0:33.9 | taste good, but I feel like I'm putting some good nutrition into my body at |
| 0:37.7 | night. Night helps me go to bed with nice piece of mind. It's got a little bit of a |
| 0:42.5 | sweet flavor to it, but it's extremely low in sugar. I mean we're talking about |
| 0:48.7 | negligible amounts where they don't even have to talk about sugar on the |
| 0:52.7 | label. This is something you can feel good about taking before bed time, not |
| 0:57.2 | worried about waking up, and any kind of jitters or anything like that. It has a |
| 1:00.4 | nice soft sweet entasing. It's healthy and it's good for you. Head to |
