Hello there friends! Welcome to this week, where we get real with Lyndzie Motcheck our unofficial therapist, life coach, and friend. Lyndzie is currently an O&P Resident living in Michigan and continues to find passion in movement every day. Her love for running has gone through ups and downs but it is ultimately grounded by her family and support system. She speaks on the impact running has had In her life, the friends it has made her, and the trauma it has helped her through. Lyndzie talks openly about the recent loss of her incredible mother and how she learned to go forward in life while honoring her best friend. This is truly a heart wrenching episode but it is filled with so much joy. Never have we met someone who shines so bright even in the darkest of times…Lyndzie is truly an inspiration. Listen to her learn how to “take up space” and unapologetically be herself. It is because of women like Lyndzie, that we do this everyday.
