In this episode of Life in Motion, Jeremy reconnects with Sydney Williams, founder of Hiking My Feelings, to explore her newest project: ReciprocityRx.

What began as a personal healing journey through hiking has evolved into a powerful framework that reframes nature not as a resource to consume, but as a relationship to honor. Sydney shares how time on the trail helped her navigate trauma, chronic illness, and burnout. Plus why prescribing time outdoors without teaching reciprocity puts both people and public lands at risk.

ReciprocityRx blends time in nature with stewardship, reflection, and action, offering practical ways to reconnect with the land while giving something back. From Indigenous wisdom to modern healthcare, this conversation offers a new perspective on outdoor wellness, stewardship, and what it means to truly heal with the land, not from it.

What if the biggest challenge in life isn’t deciding what to do next… but who you are as you move into the next chapter?

In this episode of Life in Motion, George Jerjian shares how a life-altering health scare forced him to confront identity, purpose, and time in a whole new way. That journey led him to develop the D.A.R.E. Method — a framework originally designed to help people redefine retirement, but powerful for anyone navigating transition, burnout, or the feeling of “what now?”

From letting go of old expectations to finding courage in uncertainty, George explores how mindset shifts, curiosity, and intentional living can help you build a life that feels fulfilling, whether you’re 25, 45, or 75. This is a conversation about purpose, identity, and giving yourself permission to keep evolving.
