Episode 23
Uncle Marv begins the episode by updating listeners on his health progress, candidly sharing his challenges with weight loss and recent setbacks, including a COVID-19 infection and a head injury from a fall caused by a piece of candy.
Dr. Carrie Johansson is back with us, too, and her story is one you won't want to miss. We don't just talk about physical health; we get into the nitty-gritty of what really nourishes the spirit. Together, we unspool the threads of happiness, questioning the common trap of equating it with what we own rather than what we've earned. It's a mix of tales and truths, with the aim of steering our ship from the rocky shores of entitlement to the serene waters of appreciation.
The conversation between Uncle Marv and Dr. Carrie touches on the misconception that happiness is tied to perfection and entitlement. They share personal anecdotes about appreciating past struggles and how putting in effort can lead to greater satisfaction and contentment in life.
Powerlifting Journey
Dr. Carrie recounts her unexpected journey from feeling old and frumpy to discovering a passion for powerlifting, despite not being naturally athletic or coordinated. Growing up as the bookish sibling contrasted with my athletic brother, she carried a self-narrative of being non-athletic into her initial gym experiences. Hiring a trainer who specialized in the intersection of neurology and physiology helped her challenge and change these long-held stories about herself. By making the gym experience accessible and finding a trainer who was the right fit, she made significant progress, eventually leading to an invitation to compete in powerlifting.
