In this episode, I sit down with Jason Rantall — someone I deeply admire for his honesty, resilience, and relentless drive to turn pain into purpose. Jason’s journey from battling alcoholism and bipolar disorder to becoming an ultra-marathon runner and mental health advocate is one of the most powerful I’ve heard.

We talk about how he used movement, meditation, and breathwork to replace self-destructive patterns and rebuild his life from the ground up. Jason opens up about the turning points in his mental health journey, why we need to rethink the way we use labels, and how our environment and community shape who we become.

This isn’t just about struggle — it’s about transformation. About showing up differently. Jason's story reminds us that no matter where you've been, there's always a way forward. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or like you needed to hit reset, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

• We can replace negative coping mechanisms with positive daily practices like running, breathwork, and meditation.
• The labels we carry don’t define us — real change starts with questioning who we think we are.
• Your environment plays a massive role in your mental health — sometimes the shift starts with where you are.
• Building resilience doesn’t have to come from rock bottom — it can grow in the good times too.
• Belief is everything. Once we decide to change, we can take action.
