If you haven't caught that episode yet, I strongly encourage you to do so (Season 3, Episode 2). Joining us today is Rick Walker, who is Skye's partner, and who played a pivotal role in her survival. To put it in simple terms, Skye would not be alive today if it wasn’t for Rick’s actions that night. Rick and I chat about:What his life was like prior to the attackThe attack, from his perspective (his initial thoughts & feelings when he heard the commotion outside of their Townsville home)The adrenaline he experienced (clarity, focus, speed and strength)His actions which contributed to Skye's survivalHandling the emotional impact after witnessing a traumatic eventThe changes to their lives and how he manages day-to-dayIf the incident has changed his perspective on life and personal safetyHow he is moving forward - both personally and as a support system for SkyeWhat he does to manage his mental and physical healthI would just like to give recognition to Rick's courage, bravery and ability to think and react/respond quickly in the face of a critical emergency.

#15 The One With Building Self-Trust (Embracing Personal Growth in the New Year)
👋🏽 Welcome to another episode! Today, we're diving into a pretty relatable topic – self-trust. As we wrap up 2023 and gear up for the new year, I share some personal struggles I've been having, especially at this time of year 🎄We chat about the rollercoaster of challenges that mess with our self-trust. From doubting ourselves due to past experiences to the fear of not measuring up or making mistakes, it's a real struggle. Plus, we dig into how external stuff – like comparing ourselves to others or seeking validation – can throw a wrench into our self-trust journey.More importantly, we talk about getting to know ourselves better, showing ourselves some love and understanding, surrounding ourselves with awesome people, and cutting ourselves some slack with realistic expectations. So, join me and together, let's prepare for the new year by nurturing that self-assurance and embracing the journey towards personal growth 🌈🩵Looking for a coach for your own Evolution in health and fitness?Reach out and let's chat!Instagram: @jardan.coachWebsite: www.evolutioncoachingbyjardan.com
