In this episode, I’m joined by Charlotte a coach at Platfrm and a dietetics student for a real and honest conversation about growth, change, and figuring things out as you go.

We dive into what it actually looks like to move through different phases of life and why it’s okay to shift direction when something no longer aligns with who you are. Charlotte shares her experience navigating major life changes from relationships to career moves and how learning to sit in discomfort can often be the catalyst for growth.

We unpack the idea of “friction” and why the things that feel hardest are often the ones that matter most. From training and fitness to life decisions, we talk about how pushing through resistance, building discipline, and creating structure can be the difference between staying stuck and making real progress.

We also explore the rise of group fitness, the power of community and accountability, and why having a clear plan in your training can completely change your results. Charlotte shares practical insights on consistency, how to show up when motivation isn’t there, and simple ways to reduce friction in your daily life.

This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to have everything figured out you just need to take the next step.

Running can look intimidating from the outside. Social media is filled with marathon finish lines, ultra races, and elite athletes chasing faster times. But the truth is simple: running and endurance sport are for everyone.

In this episode, we share seven powerful lessons from runners, athletes, and real experiences that reveal what endurance sport is truly about. From mindset and preparation, to connection, reflection, and overcoming adversity, these lessons highlight that running isn’t just about speed, distance, or race results, it’s about growth, purpose, and discovering what you’re capable of.

You’ll hear stories about:

• Learning not to get complacent and continuing to push your limits

• Preparing for the bigger picture, not just the next race

• Finding running through adversity and personal challenges

• Why comparison in running can hold you back

• The importance of connection, community, and shared experiences

• Using running as a powerful tool for reflection and emotional growth

• And the most important lesson of all: finding your personal reason to move

We also talk about athlete recovery, the role massage actually plays in performance, and why being proactive not reactive can change your results long term.

Whether you’re an athlete, business owner, or someone figuring out their next step in life, this episode is full of practical advice and powerful perspective shifts.

In this deeply honest episode of The Paths We Take, Jordan sits down with Brady, a senior trainer at Platfrm, for a conversation about what happens when life dismantles the identity you thought you had built.

From chasing opportunities across Sweden, Japan, and Australia, to navigating depression, addiction, career loss, and the breakdown of a marriage, Brady shares the raw realities behind rebuilding a life when everything familiar disappears. Together, they explore self-sabotage, the pressure of expectations, and the quiet but powerful process of rediscovering purpose.

This episode dives into the shift from asking “What do I want?” to “What does the world need from me right now?”, the role of community during life’s lowest moments, and why failure is often the doorway to clarity rather than the end of the road.

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, questioning your direction, or learning how to rebuild after setbacks, this conversation will remind you that growth rarely looks glamorous but it is always possible.

Because sometimes losing everything you thought defined you is the very thing that allows you to finally discover who you really are.
