Welcome back to the Running Strong Mind-Body Connection Podcast! In today’s inspiring episode, host Karen Bonnett-Natraj sits down with the multi-talented Danielle . Forsgren whose fascinating journey takes us from the bright lights of the theater world to the innovative realm of medical devices. Danielle shares how her upbringing as a fourth-generation performer shaped her creative drive, why she believes in reinventing oneself throughout life, and how her personal experiences led her to co-found Avisen Medical—a company dedicated to healing by harnessing the body’s natural potential.

Together, Karen and Danielle dive deep into the power of following your passions, the importance of supportive environments, and why prioritizing self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. They also explore the science behind Donella’s medical device, the critical role of microcirculation and inflammation in health, and how mind-body practices pave the way for lasting transformation and resilience.

Whether you’re a runner, a creative spirit, or on your own journey toward balance and healing, you’ll find wisdom, practical tips, and a whole lot of encouragement in this episode. So get ready to be inspired, laugh, and maybe even rethink what’s possible for your mind, body, and life.
