Podcast with Jamie Glanz

Jamie Glanz is a Senior at Simpson College. She is a part of the Track and Field team. Originally I was only going to interview her for a story I was writing for the Simpsonian, but we ended up exploring some really interesting topics. She studied abroad last semester in Scotland. She told me how much she took away from that experience as she learned a lot about how much she was actually capable of accomplishing hard moments of struggle. Growing up sheltered, dealing with anxiety and depression, this was a challenge where she finally got out of her own way and dealt with the uncomfortable nature of never having traveled anywhere outside of the Iowa State Fair. I think it's a great lesson for everyone - to get out of the comfort zone. I felt very inspired as we were talking and decided to travel to Utah once I graduate as I have been thinking for a while that I might end up out there one day.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots
