Episode 9: Pain is Just Weakness Leaving the Body with Hannah Waite

Episode 9: Pain is Just Weakness Leaving the Body with Hannah Waite
Episode 9: Pain is Just Weakness Leaving the Body with Hannah Waite

On this episode, I interview my dear friend Hannah Waite, whom I first met as a roommate at the Naval Academy Summer Seminar, a summer camp for rising seniors considering attending the Naval Academy. Although neither of us nor our third roommate and friend, Kristine, did not attend the Naval Academy, we are all thankful that it brought us lifelong friendship in one another! Hannah describes inspiration as an intrinsic thing within side each of us that is motivated by external things – people, places, things, experiences, everything that happens to us! She also shares that everything inspires her, either positively or negatively, to live her life to further bring joy to others and fulfill God’s plan for her life.

References:

  • Hannah is in school working towards achieving her Master’s in Speech Language Pathology at University of Southern Mississippi (USM)
  • Hannah’s husband, Aaron, inspired her to take time when she is driving to intentionally talk out loud with God in prayer.
  • She shares that she struggled with an eating disorder for about four years
  • If your or someone you know struggles with an eating disorder, please seek professional help. You can find resources to get started HERE or call or text the National Eating Disorders Helpline at 800-931-2237.
  • Her advice to anyone struggling with an eating disorder is to “tell somebody”
  • One of Hannah’s life goals is to own a Chick-Fil-A (how awesome is that?!)
  • Hannah’s favorite quote stuck with her after doing a flexed arm hang at a summer fair for the Marine Corps, “pain is just weakness leaving the body.”

Episode 7: Relentlessly Pursuing What Sets Your Soul on Fire with Lili Ruland
Episode 7 with Lili Ruland

On this episode of the You Inspire Me Podcast, I chat with my friend and West Point classmate, Lili Ruland. Lili is someone who not only pursues her own dreams but also creates her own path with a smile as she does it! Although she shares how she has faced adversity on her journey, she describes how she always makes the most out of every opportunity she has. Lili defines inspiration as the “deeper sister to motivation,” and shares her analogy of stoking the fire to provide us with a visual for her inspiration.

References:

  • Her inspiration for serving and attending West Point dates back to when she was 12-years-old, and she has never stopped pursuing her dreams!
  • Lili shares how she was continuously inspired by her teammates on the Women’s Army Rugby (WAR) teammate at West Point, and she even gives a shoutout to Ashley Wolfe from Episode 2
  • She was a Defense Strategic Studies (DSS) major at West Point and also cross-commissioned into the U.S. Air Force to be a pilot
  • Her advice to others is to just “jump in,” as she provides us with the vignette of jumping into a cold lake and the excitement, fear, and adventures new opportunities bring
  • Lili shared her favorite inspiring quote with us which was, “Be relentless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.” (unknown)
