Chris & Friends EP16: Searching for Identity w/ Flo Zurkinden

In this episode I sit down life coach Flo Zurkinden. This was a fun episode with a friend who I first heard about years ago as she finished second place in something aptly titled The Death Race!

Flo and I discuss her childhood in Switzerland, her start in running, and how as a young adult she was searching for an identity and being "a runner" became that. From there she went on to pursue many other athletic endeavors in the race world (half marathons, full marathons, ultramarathons, etc.) and had success in all but at one point realized that there was still something missing. She realized she was constantly on the chase for something more and that she didn't know just how to be.

In what she describes as divine intervention, a few serious injuries kept her from running and forced her to "just be". It is during this time that she came to understand that you are not what you do but rather who you are. Until you can be comfortable with who that person is, you will always be on the chase for something else. 

There is so much more to this episode and I hope you all take a moment to enjoy it!
