The Last Tenth Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Based in Brooklyn, by way of Atlanta and Chicago, Kyndall is a facilitator, certified mindfulness instructor, and entrepreneur. She has spent the last ten years centering the leadership and well-being of girls and women of color through education, advocacy, and philanthropy.

After witnessing the magic of the NYC marathon in 2021, she decided to become a runner. As a newbie, she found the beginning of her running journey challenging and painful. Looking for a natural alternative to pain relief, she created a hemp-derived muscle salve. The Runner's Apothecary, a holistic wellness brand for runners, other athletes, and other humans who move their bodies, was born. The Runner’s Apothecary creates plant-based body products to support recovery and overall well-being and to facilitate less reliance on OTC pharmaceuticals. Through her business and life, Kyndall is passionate about supporting communities’ access to holistic health through movement, plant wisdom, and meditation.

Sandra Mikulic is a self proclaimed plus size runner and triathlete. In March 2018, at the age of 43, she started running and that's where her story of self transcendence begins. In January 2019, she started a challenge of running 5kms (3.12 miles) every day. She has surpassed 1070 days of running 5kms every day since January 1, 2019! Taking on this challenge has changed the neuroplasticity of Sandra's brain. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to form and reorgnaize synaptic connections. High neuroplasticity enables individuals to learn and re-organize information, as well as, heal trauma and anxiety and even injury. Running 5kms every day has changed Sandra's life. Within a 3 year time span, Sandra has finished 4 marathons, 24 half marathons, a 50k ultra and a triathlon. She is also launching a magazine to empower, motivate and inspire people to move their bodies with the understanding that one's size does not matter!    ****To follow Sandra visit her on Instagram: @bigfit_i_run (https://www.instagram.com/bigfit_i_run/).***            ****Host, Coach Pilar Arthur-Snead, https://linktr.ee/mindfulrunner **** Leave me a message at https://anchor.fm/pilar-arthur-snead/message***                ***Please Like and Subscribe to The Last Tenth Podcast on You Tube: https://bit.ly/37foa2f                   ***Listen toThe Last Tenth Podcast on:              Anchor.fm (https://anchor.fm/pilar-arthur-snead),                 Apple Podcasts (https://apple.co/3lXB5ek),   Please be sure to leave your positive feedback and 5 star review on Apple Podcasts       Google Podcasts (https://bit.ly/3oqGUTo),                Spotify (https://spoti.fi/37Oowgm) and so much more! ***                    ****THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!! *****If you like what you've heard on the show, please consider contributing to or sponsoring the show.  Contact the host Pilar Arthur-Snead ( https://anchor.fm/pilar-arthur-snead/message ) for more information on sponsorship!
