If you find your niche you can change the world.  

For 20+ years Carolyn O'Byrne worked with people supporting their physical and emotional health. About 7 years ago she turned her focus toward truck drivers. Her husband is a second-generation truck driver. His dad passed away hundreds of miles from home from a preventable health condition (when her husband was 20). Carolyn doesn't want that to happen to anyone else, unfortunately, it happens very often. Overall as a society, our health is more compromised than ever before. Carolyn works with truck drivers and their families supporting them toward optimal physical and emotional health. Via over the phone coaching, my book, "Gut Instinct," and my online strategies, Driven To Health, Driven To Peace, and Driven To Stop. Value?

We think we have crazy schedules, try the life of a truck driver. Their schedules change daily. Sometimes they drive in the day and sometimes at night. There are so many factors that go into a truck driver's job and schedule. Traffic, load cancels, delivery and pick up hours, etc. Not to mention the difficulty to be there for their own health and family. It is very common for a drivers' schedule to drastically change at a moments notice.

These avenues bring them to the awareness that it is all about their mindset while educating them on the true path to health. Showing them the power they have to be in control of their circumstances. Her biggest challenge she has to overcome is herself. She stands in her way. Carolyn continuously tries to reevaluate herself to be sure that she am not the issue at hand.

Carolyn saw that projects would be moving right along then life would happen and it would seem as if someone threw a wrench into her plan and life came to a screeching halt. It would take forever to get her momentum back up and going.

Becoming aware. This is the hardest part. when you are on the inside looking out, you don't see the obstacles. She talks to people about this all of the time concerning their health. 

Carolyn loves the people she works with. Truck drivers have a very special place in her heart. Carolyn is excited to bring them the products they need to overcome the many obstacles in their life.

She has found her niche and is saving lives, keeping us safe and taking bold steps to help grow U.S. trucking companies.

Dreaming Bigger with CEO, Business Strategist and Professional Snowboarder, Carolyn O'Neill

One thing we have learned here at The White Tiger Podcast is that sports and life often parallel each other. We learn a lot about ourselves, our tenacity, our drive, our work ethic, our passion through the world of sports and what it takes to push ourselves to another level. 

This week, we had the honor to chat with CEO, Business Strategist and former professional athlete & snowboarder, Carolyn O'Neill. Carolyn shares her story of back break (literally), hard work, vision, love and how getting stoked fuels her passion to help others !

Carolyn is also the founder of Mamafest: Ride for the Cure - the largest snowboarding/ski competition & music festival - raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research for the "UW Risk Reduction Clinic', based in Seattle, WA.
