In this raw and powerful August episode, Randi shares how choosing radical honesty became her greatest healing tool.

From raising daughters as a single mom to surviving microaggressions in the workplace to shedding perfectionism—this episode is a masterclass in truth-telling as a sacred act of self-preservation.

You’ll hear stories about:

• Crying on a trail while grieving her best friend

• Being honest with employers and gaining their respect

• Breaking free from gaslighting relatives after a house fire

• Leaving a toxic job that demanded silence over dignity

This isn’t just about truth-telling with others—it’s about being honest with yourself.

The Peachtree Road Race was hot, humid, and humbling.
I documented every mile for my daughters—funny face selfies to make them laugh.
But behind every smile was a silent thought.
My headphones went out mid-run, and I was left with only my mind.

Here’s what mile by mile taught me. 💭👟

From burnout to breaking barriers—this week on the Hike, Heal, & Hustle podcast, we welcome Frantzie St. Jean, a brilliant cybersecurity professional who made a bold leap from retail to tech.

We discuss:

• How 18 years in retail shaped her leadership mindset

• The courage it takes to start over

• How she’s using her voice to make a difference in a male-dominated field

If you’ve ever questioned whether it’s “too late” to begin again—this conversation is for you.

It’s July, and this month in our Vision Board Accountability Group, we’re focusing on JOY.
Our affirmation is:
“Joy is not a reward — it is a practice.” 💛

We’re not waiting for goals to be complete to feel good.
Joy lives in the process. The walk. The breath. The quiet win. The song that gets you out of your head and into your body.

Here’s your challenge this month:
🎯 Choose ONE joyful action and practice it once a week.
Dance. Rest. Create. Say “no” with peace. Say “yes” to yourself.

And of course — post in the group!
Let us see your joy. Big or small. Loud or soft. This space is here to lift and witness you.

You don’t have to earn joy.
You just have to make space for it.

💖 Keep dreaming. Keep showing up. Keep practicing joy.
