In today's episode we had a very meaningful conversation. We dove into two foundational pillars of our lives, faith and fitness. Both have been anchors in everything we do, from personal growth to business success. Our journeys, though different, both reflect the transformative power of faith and the healing strength of fitness.

Kass opened up about her personal path to faith, starting from childhood, growing up in a Catholic household, and feeling a bit disconnected from spirituality, to finding her own connection to God later in life. It wasn’t until she faced health struggles that she truly reached out in prayer, realizing that God had been with her all along, guiding her through the ups and downs. Elli shared her own story of faith, the challenges she faced, and the unwavering belief that brought her through dark times.

We also touched on fitness and how it became a vital part of our healing, both physically and mentally. Staying active, especially through running, transformed our health and mindset, proving that when you take care of your mind, body, and spirit, everything else falls into place. We hope this episode inspires you to strengthen these foundations in your own life.
