  • Such an inspiring podcast

    I love Flamebearers! It is honest, educational and so incredibly inspiring. I am not an athlete but the themes Jamie talks to her guests about, being present, living in you body, self care and the importance of determination and grit are such important lessons for everyone. Thank you for the amazing work you are doing!
