Mara and I met in a Facebook group we both belong to and she told me about 10 seconds of her story before I knew she had to be on the show.

Mara is a young woman navigating the typical trials of life. But her energy and approach to solving problems is nothing short of incredible. Listen in as she and I chat about her various fitness activities, including her most recent venture into pole dancing. Then, try not to let your jaw hit the floor when she talks about biking across the country with her dad. Yes, you heard that correctly, she biked across the country. You can find Mara on Instagram at @myopenpassport and the stuff that she posts over there is absolutely incredible.

Mara has a great message and approach to life and I bet you’ll enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
