Summary

What happens when you go from being so tenacious that you earn the name ‘the Queen of Pain’ to struggling just to get off the couch? Today, Rebecca Rusch shares the story of her journey, and it’s a journey that every single one of us will relate to, and all of us need to hear.

Rebecca and I also talk about her upcoming event, Rebecca’s Private Idaho (I’ll be there, so come ride with me!); her excellent podcast, What’s the Rusch; why she’s a BLISTER+ member; and what she’s working on next.
