Welcome back to the Running Strong Mind-Body Connection podcast! In this episode, I am joined by the inspiring Dr. Rani a visionary entrepreneur and passionate advocate for holistic wellness.

Dr. Rani's journey is one of profound transformation—she’s a clinical hypnotherapist, certified breathwork, chakra healer, astrologer, author, and founder of Amazing You.

Speaking candidly from her home in the UK, she shares her deeply personal story: from overcoming patterns of workplace bullying and navigating upheaval, to rediscovering purpose and embracing lifelong learning and healing.

Together, Karen and Dr. Rani explore the powerful intersection of energy, intuition, and self-awareness. We discuss the importance of reconnecting with our breath, healing the mind-body connection, and tuning into the messages within us, whether through meditation, hypnotherapy, or the simple act of pausing to breathe.

With insights drawn from both personal experience and professional expertise, Dr. Rani emphasizes that our true potential lies in understanding ourselves beyond the surface, as multidimensional beings with unique life paths and deep connections to the world around us.

Whether you’re a runner, a seeker on a healing journey, or simply curious about the deeper layers of wellness, this episode promises actionable tools, inspiration, and a powerful reminder: the treasure you seek is already within you.

Carolyn joins us from the windswept Falkland Islands, and her journey is nothing short of awe-inspiring. From remote veterinary adventures around the globe to an unexpected and debilitating spinal injury that dramatically altered her life, Carolyn shares how she faced down misdiagnoses, excruciating chronic pain, and a healthcare system that didn’t seem to listen. Instead of accepting a life defined by limitation, Carolyn turned to her love of running and the outdoors—and through determination, research, and mind-body healing, she forged her own path to recovery.

In this episode, you’ll hear about Carolyn’s return to running after years of immobility, her holistic approach to pain and healing, and the crucial role of mental fitness—addressing trauma, reframing fear, and the power of hope. You’ll also get thrilling stories from her time as a veterinarian at the legendary Iditarod and the epic Mongol Derby, plus plenty of laughs and insights on the healing power of nature and adventure.

Whether you’re an athlete, someone managing pain, or simply curious about the connection between body, brain, and the will to persevere, Carolyn’s journey will leave you inspired and ready to overcome your own obstacles. Let’s dive into this uplifting conversation about resilience, adventure, and the unstoppable human spirit.

Eva Vennari understands the demands of modern life—the constant rush, the endless to-do lists, and the pressure to always be "on."

She noticed that beneath this high-paced routine, people often ignore subtle signals from their bodies: persistent headaches, joint pain, or surprising changes in health that seem “normal for the age” or easy to dismiss.

Drawing from her own experiences, Eva realized these are signs of energetic buildup and residue, caused by pushing ourselves without pause.

Her passion is helping others recognize these patterns and release the invisible stresses that get trapped in their bodies, guiding them toward balanced energy and holistic well-being.
