Evan is more than his abilities as an ultra runner—he's a proud partner, father, friend, and former emergency services professional. His journey into ultra running began in 2017, a pivotal shift from a two-decade career that left him broken but resilient.
In this episode Dr. Jody and Evan chat candidly about PTSD and how working in the first responder world really is. Evan tells us how running (amongst other work) helped save him.
After years of selfless service, he confronted his struggles with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Through intensive therapy and countless miles on the trail, he found healing and purpose. He no longer ran away; he ran towards joy, showing others that there's always a path forward. Sharing his story is both terrifying and empowering, but it's through vulnerability that true strength emerges. Together, let's break the silence, embrace shared experiences, and remind each other that it's okay not to be okay.
