Let’s talk about what’s really happening in the Cold Water Plunge.

It isn’t about You vs The Cold. Honest. I know it feels that way, but there is something so much more important happening.

I invite you to look at it as You vs. You’re Nervous System.

We all have Stuff we’re dealing with. From life stresses and traumas to medical diagnoses like depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism Spectrum, Bipolar… all of the above.

Each person’s Nervous System is operating at a level that is very specific to you. When challenged, we face Fight or Flight.

Walking into freezing cold water IMMEDIATELY induces your Fight or Flight response. In that moment, your mind is telling you to get out because this is bad, or this is too hard, or I can’t do this - I need to RUN.

I PROMISE YOU you will not die from putting your feet in cold water. If that’s all you can do, GREAT!

But while you are doing it, I want you to consider going inside your thoughts and beliefs that tell you “I CAN’T DO THIS!” and challenge. Set a 30 second goal and breathe into it. Walk in further if you can.

Today the water was COLD and I tried a swim shirt to see if it made it better or worse. Don’t recommend it. At all.

My mind was all over the place. The trauma of moving, the responsibilities I’m taking on, work being so busy and doubting my ability to keep up with it all…

But I stopped the BZZZZ in my head and took it to my breath. I thought of the words of my Mentor asking what am doing FOR MYSELF to get Grounded, Centered and Focused.

I’m doing this. I’m taking control of my fight or flight response that I allow to tell me I can’t do something.

I can do hard things. Especially the hard things I have been avoiding for myself.

Join me Saturday morning. We’ll get there around 7:45am and start walking in at 8am.

Figured out a bit of a deeper spot but the current is slightly stronger through there. I made it 30 Mississippi’s 🥶🌹🥶

I’ll put an event invite today on Facebook but pencil it in… Saturday, December 9th at Proud Lake State Park kinda near the Heavner’s Kayak drop off of Commerce Rd.

I’ll get here 7:30am with a planned 8am to begin walking in. Anyone experienced in Cold Water Plunges, please consider making yourself available to walk newbies in, if they need/want it.

Don’t overthink it. Promise. It’s one of those things that if you’ve been wanting to do it… just show up.

❄️❄️❄️Details coming! ❄️❄️❄️

Maybe some Cacao after to go would be nice…. I need some help buying and making it yummy.

I LOVE working around the Holidays! I get to see so many of my “kids” who come home and schedule appointments. Today was Tennessee and California. Totally makes my heart smile.

I’ve volunteered at a LOT of events. From just providing Recovery Services to be the full-on Medical Team. I say this simply to preface I know what services are needed and why, and I’m extremely well-versed on what a really good Medical Volunteer looks like in action.

Please allow me a moment to introduce and sing the absolute highest praises for Katelin Hickman.

Most of the Athletes will immediately recognize her from the first photo where she was pouring electrolytes into the bottled water at each event set-up for everyone. She secured that product to be donated on her own and took ownership of this simple but HUGE service to the athletes.

She was also in the car with Charles Mitchell III and I as we headed to the Orthopedics office after his Achilles injury. She was a HUGE advocate for Trey while balancing the line as a Medic volunteer for Rogue Invitational. She stayed in constant communication with us as well as the folks at Rogue to ensure everyone was kept fully apprised of the situation.

I know she is in communication with Lynn A. Morehouse to be at the Official Strongman Games as well as hopefully being at the Arnold.

Hear me clearly… SHE IS THE MISSING PIECE that is needed in Strongman. Her experience as an ICU Nurse as well as a few years of medical event volunteering - and falling in love with being assigned to Strongman is only one piece of the puzzle. She is connect to a network of AMAZING MEDICAL VOLUNTEERS and understands the processes that need to be in place. She doesn’t sit back and watch - she and this entire medical team are RIGHT THERE.

Personally, I nominate her as a Medical Director to create and run the logistics of these heavy and potentially very dangerous events from the medical and injury perspective. She bridges the gap and fills it with knowledge and heart.

And now I get to call her My Friend! Love our heart, Kate and I can’t wait to forage, tincture make and dive deep into all things healing together!

Taking a moment to wish this Hottie an INCREDIBLE Day competing back in Indiana with his daughter, Rachel McClain. Hope you both have a healthy, Strong and PHENOMENAL time together.

Love you, Babe.

Really enjoyed our afternoon learning the health benefits of and how to make Sourdough bread with my friend Kristy Love. Luke has been wanting to learn for some time and now we have 103 year old starter, bread dough to bake tomorrow and a little bit of knowledge to hopefully grow from!
