Evan Birch, also known on social media as "Ultra Birch" joined us for the podcast. I have wanted to have Evan on for sometime as he is a very strong advocate of mental health in ultra running and has a very powerful story with his own life as an EMS worker. Evan and I explored a number of topics, including his recent short documentary, Running Forward (https://youtu.be/3MitVODxrxY?si=idsQFOgSwyE7TqBu).
Evan shared stories and his perspective on finding and valuing community in ultra running as well as focusing on the process more than the outcome in racing. Evan and I even explored the power of a specific therapy modality in helping the mind heal both in session and on the trail. Give it a listen and if you'd like to connect with him and learn more about his numerous media projects and coaching services please go to his website at (www.ultrabirch.com).
