Care warning: Sexual and substance abuse will be discussed in this episode.  

Brinn Langdale held a secret until she was 18 that she had been sexually abused by a close family member for 12 years. Substances, self-harm, eating disorders, and unhealthy relationships were how she coped until she was faced with a choice. The choice to heal her wounds wasn't easy, but it was necessary for a better life. Now, as a therapist, speaker, and author she hopes to inspire others and share her message that healing, recovery, and forgiveness is possible.

Paul Forchione was born with cerebral palsy and it was so severe that the doctors told his mom that he would never be able to walk. Thank goodness for a wonderful mom and a great mindset that wasn’t his story! He was able to overcome it and is now able to live a very active life. It wasn’t easy, however, to get to that point.

I would greatly appreciate it!   After a 13-year career in architecture made Scott overweight, sick and stressed, Scott shifted, became super fit, and then built a 15,000 square foot gym in 2002, Best Body Fitness. Next, he wrote a book about health and fitness called “If Your Body Were a Car, You Wouldn’t Treat it This Way”, as well as a fitness journal and a recipe book. Once in a place of being healthy, Scott decided to try the Sylvan Lake Half Ironman Triathlon to see if he could finish it. He finished well and qualified for and completed Ironman Canada 5 weeks later. Within a few years he was representing Canada at the World Championships in Holland and Australia as well as racing all over Canada and the USA.   

In 2011 Scott entered a triathlon 2.5 times longer than Ironman, and at the Canadian Ultraman Championships, he finished 6th overall, (20 minutes from 2nd) in a 3 day race spanning 520kms. 2 years later at the Ultraman World Championships in Kona Hawaii he placed 21st in 2013. Scott has ridden a bike 400 kms in one day for Cancer research, ridden a mountain bike 700kms to Montana along the great continental divide, and completed every Spartan Distance including an Ultra Beast. In 2015 Scott was racing again at the Ultraman World Championships and crashed his bike at nearly 70 kilometers per hour, breaking many bones including his skull, and nearly died.  

Making a remarkable full recovery he raced again 3 years later in 2018, placing 25th in the world while filming the process for an award-winning documentary, "Living the Warrior’s Code”. Scott, now a multiple-time international best-selling author, coaches people online and in person on nutrition, fitness and the mindset to succeed, as well as delivering keynote talks that are engaging, inspiring and fun!

My April fools: @nateberan

Dr. Kevin J. Payne is a social psychologist, entrepreneur, author & skydiver — and he’s doing it all with MS. When he lost everything he cared about, he decided to rebuild his life by facing the fear of his uncooperative body in the air and becoming a skydiver. 600 jumps later (and counting), he found his home in the sky. Born from a decade of research, Your Life, Lived Well is his labor of love: a podcast, a book, a curriculum of classes, organizational services, and a technology — they all support those whose lives have been touched by chronic illness. 

There’s no one answer to living well, but Dr. Payne is committed to showing you the practical tools you can use to build the life you want.
