Larry Gaier is an Active Life 1 on 1 coach who you have heard from before (in episode 3). Brittany is the reason why we do what we do at Active Life. In this episode you are going to laugh, you are going to learn, and you might even cry.\\xa0

Brittany came to us 2+ years ago and we failed her, we didn\\u2019t get her to buy so we couldn\\u2019t help. When Brittany came back a year later, she needed surgery and was unfortunately outside of our scope.

The third time was the charm, six months after her SECOND surgery, Brittany was back on the phone with me, audibly crying through the phone. Her life had been turned upside down from the pain her shoulder was causing her. Her job was in doubt, her identity was stripped, her workouts were non existent, she couldn\\u2019t put deodorant on, and her marriage was in doubt from all of the depression and anxiety she was suffering from. Things were bad.

What happened next? Well, you\\u2019re going to have to listen. Bring tissues.\\xa0
