In this episode, Heather shares how running became her escape, her source of strength, and ultimately the thing that carried her through trauma, illness, and finding her way back to herself.

From growing up in a small town in Nova Scotia and navigating a painful relationship with her father, to experiencing endometriosis, an abusive relationship, and years of feeling disconnected from her body, this conversation walks through the many layers of what it means to lose yourself… and then find your way back.

After years of being dismissed by doctors, Heather was eventually diagnosed with a rare adrenal tumour causing Cushing’s disease. Following surgery and a long recovery, she began to reconnect with her body in a completely new way.

This is a story about resilience, self trust, and the power of movement as a way to come home to yourself.

In this episode of How’d You Do It?, I’m honoured to sit down with Lucas Runke, who opens up about his journey of a routine dental procedure which triggered severe, relentless facial nerve pain that completely upended his life. From being fully alive, building a business, making music, relationships to finding himself living in constant agony, Lucas walks us through the physical, mental, emotional and relational toll, the unbearable pain. He tried everything: neurologists, drugs, surgery, alternative therapies, and nothing gave the roadmap he needed.

Eventually, Lucas discovered a different path, pain neuro-plasticity, which allowed him to rewrite his relationship to pain. From 24/7 agony to now living, rather than just surviving. Today, Lucas is mostly pain-free, and as a pain-recovery coach he helps people reclaim their lives from chronic pain.

In this episode, I sit down with legendary skydiver, author, and speaker Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld, whose name has echoed in the skydiving world for decades. From watching his TED talk as a brand-new student in 2011 to jumping with him in 2013 and now finally sitting with him in this full-circle moment, this conversation felt incredibly special.

Dan shares the extraordinary story of how he followed a childhood dream of human flight into a life of skydiving, championship competition, and ultimately—resilience in the face of unimaginable tragedy. After surviving a devastating plane crash that claimed 16 lives, left him in a coma, with substantial injuries, Dan made the seemingly impossible decision to heal, return, and continue living the dream he had fought so hard to create.

We talk about the mental strength it takes to leap into the unknown, the profound lessons skydiving has offered him (and all of us who’ve flown beside him), and the true meaning of success - doing what you love with your whole heart.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to chase something wildly meaningful—despite fear, obstacles, or the odds—this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and longtime Shambhala neighbour, Darius Waters, for a really honest, down-to-earth conversation about his journey through addiction, burnout, and ultimately, healing.

Darius shares what it was like working in the high-pressure world of fine dining as a chef—where long hours, heavy drinking, and drugs were just part of the culture. It wasn’t until the world slowed down during the pandemic that he finally saw his drinking for what it was: a problem that was taking over his life.

We talk about the moment he knew he needed help, his experience walking into his first AA meeting, and how hard it was to get sober—not just physically, but emotionally. He’s now nearly three years sober, studying to become a youth counsellor, and mentoring kids through a powerful long-term program that supports youth for 12 years, no matter what.

Darius is full of heart and humility. This episode is a reminder that healing is possible, that people can and do change, and that sometimes, rock bottom is what opens the door to a completely new way of living.

Jeremy Kelly’s story is so intense, I had to split it into two parts. In Part 1, he takes us into the brutal reality of addiction and homelessness on the streets of downtown Eastside. From heavy drug use to dangerous encounters that nearly cost him his life, Jeremy shares the harrowing details of what it took to survive. He’s looked death in the eye more times than he can count, crossed the wrong people, and hit rock bottom in ways most of us can’t even imagine. His storytelling is gripping—I felt like I was watching an entire TV series unfold in real time.

Troy and his wife spent the first year of Koa's life living in hospital accommodations, enduring multiple major surgeries and countless moments of uncertainty.

Troy opens up about the emotional toll this journey took on him, leading him to some of the darkest places he didn’t think he’d escape from. Leaning on alcohol to numb the pain, it was Koa's warrior spirit that kept him going. Through holistic practices like breathwork, meditation, and inner work, Troy found the strength to overcome these challenges.

In today's episode, we meet Calvin Wayman - an entrepreneur, author, keynote speaker, digital creator, and… a former cult member. Calvin was born and raised in a Mormon Fundamentalist cult, where he had 5 moms and was the 11th of 44 siblings. Growing up on a secluded farm, Calvin never met any other kids or knew anything about the outside world, which he was taught to believe was pure evil.

Calvin shares his incredible story of life inside this 'cave' and the moment he knew it was time to leave. He speaks about the painful loss of identity and everyone he'd ever known as he stepped away from this life to go to college. Calvin's journey is a powerful testament to the courage it takes to step outside your comfort zone and begin the process of discovering who you really are from the inside out.

Tune in as Calvin Wayman reveals what it takes to rebuild your life, redefine your identity, and embrace the unknown.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Hayden Williams a tattoo artist from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. Hayden shares how his early years of trauma and the unprocessed grief of losing his father led him to some harmful habits and a strong disconnection from himself that threatened his life. His passion for art began with street art and tattooing, but his true healing began when he uprooted his life to the center of Australia, starting fresh without a community or even a cell phone. It was there that he reconnected with the land and rediscovered himself.

Hayden’s path to healing has been multifaceted, involving men’s work, breathwork, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, yoga, and somatic practices. These elements have been crucial in his journey towards a happier and more fulfilled life. He speaks to the importance of gut health, explaining how addressing it brought all aspects of his healing journey together, leading to a more holistic sense of well-being.

In this episode, I am honoured to share the studio with Jonas Luetke, an adventurer who moved from Germany to Australia at the age of 20 and fully grabbed life by the horns. Jonas shares his experiences exploring the country, from the outback to surfing, scuba diving, and ultimately his greatest passion: skydiving.

In 2014, Jonas' life changed forever after a head-on collision in freefall left him a C6/7 quadriplegic. He recounts how his friend deployed his parachute mid-fall while Jonas completed the skydive paralyzed, his following weeks in the hospital, and his incredible recovery process. Jonas’s story is one of incredible resilience, sprinkled with his sense of humour. He talks about his transition into his new reality and how swimming became a form of therapy that brought him close to the feeling of flying. In 2017, Jonas completed an 8km swim from Magnetic Island to Townsville using double-arm backstroke, showcasing his determination and spirit. He took to the skies once more with a paramotor attached to his wheelchair. Today, he runs a kite school in Cairns, Australia, aiming to inspire, educate, and empower others through the art of kite flying.

In this episode, I’m honoured to share the studio with the remarkable Dean Otto from Charlotte, North Carolina. Dean spent his early adult life battling alcoholism until his family intervened, leading him to AA treatment and recovery. The tools he gained through AA—perseverance, resilience, and forgiveness—became crucial in his later life.

In 2016, Dean’s life changed forever when a truck hit him from behind while he was cycling, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. He was told his chances of walking again were to 2%. However, the lessons from his sobriety journey laid the foundation for his miraculous recovery.

Dean shares his extraordinary journey of healing, defying the odds, forming friendships with his surgeon and even the man who hit him, leading the three of them to running a half-marathon together and raising nearly $100,000 for spinal cord injury patients.

Dean now devotes his life to guest speaking, sharing the gifts of his recovery with those who need to hear it.

Tune in for an inspiring episode that will leave you deeply moved by the extraordinary power of the human spirit.

Cole was in and out of rehabilitation centres, detoxes, hospitals, and 12 step rooms throughout her 20’s, never fully resonating with the idea of sobriety. Despite encountering yoga early on in her recovery journey, it wasn't until a life-altering overdose forced her to confront the reality of her dependence that she fully embraced the practice. She finally reached out for help of her own accord, began to unwind through therapy, found a supportive community, and landed full surrender into her yoga practice. Her recovery process continues today, intertwined with a life she never even dreamed possible.

Join us as we explore Cole Chance's path from addiction to freedom, discovering the innate potential for healing that lies within us all.
