Erie Wellness Truth: If every run feels harder than it should, motivation may not be the problem—you might not be giving your body enough fuel.

Just like a car can’t run without gas, your body can’t perform without energy.

In this episode, local run coach Char Griess︱Colorado Run Coach explains why carbohydrates are especially important for runners and why fueling properly can make a real difference in how you feel during training.

Erie Wellness Truth: Your mind needs training just as much as your body does.

When a workout or race gets hard, repeating a mantra can help redirect your attention away from the discomfort and remind you of what you’re capable of.

In this episode, run coach Char Griess︱Colorado Run Coach shares the mantra she uses during challenging workouts: “I’m fast, I’m fit, and I’m getting fitter.”

Erie Wellness Truth: Resentment often looks like anger—but underneath it is actually grief.

In this episode, Angie Charter, licensed clinical social worker and PACT couples therapist, explains that what looks like an argument about dishes, parenting, intimacy, or household responsibilities is often rooted in something much deeper: a longing to feel supported, understood, and like you’re on the same team.

Understanding what’s beneath the resentment is often the first step toward healing it.

Erie Wellness Truth: Healthy communication doesn’t always mean talking immediately—it means knowing how to reconnect.

In this episode, Angie Charter shares the “Catch & Release” method, a practical tool that helps couples navigate conflict when one partner needs immediate connection while the other needs time and space before they can communicate effectively.
