🎙️ FIRST 5IVE PODCAST – "I DARE YOU"

From saving lives…to transforming them through movement.

This week, we sit down with Emilie Dare — a powerhouse in both the medical world and the fitness space.

Paramedic.
Master Trainer.
Pilates reformer specialist.
And someone who’s redefining what strength really looks like.

We’re diving into:

• The shift from emergency response → empowering people through breath and movement
• The truth about Pilates vs traditional strength training
• Breaking stereotypes in fitness (yes, we talk about men in Pilates 👀)
• Building JunctionFIT and what it really stands for
• Mental health, adversity, and showing up when it’s hardest

This one is deeper than reps and sets…

It’s about impact, identity, and pushing past limits — one step, one rep, and one breath at a time.

🎧 Tap in. Lock in. Don’t miss this one.

Welcome back to The First 5IVE Podcast!

This episode of First 5ive Podcast is your reminder to stop living in the past and start choosing forward progress. Missed shots, mistakes, wasted time, and lost opportunities happen to all of us — but resilience is built when you stop dwelling, learn the lesson, and keep moving.

We’re diving into mindset, choice, growth, and the power of bouncing back so you can become stronger, wiser, and more intentional in the present. Because you are not defined by what happened — you are defined by what you choose next.

Part 2 of the conversation continues with Laura Dellicolli as we discuss more surrounding the topic of mental health, suicide and depression, how we can support those going through a difficult time, and the importance of asking "how are you?"

As the month of September is Suicide Prevention/Awareness Month, we want to take the time to offer our sincerest support and encouragement to those who may have been affected in some way.

Speak up, ask for help, and always be kind - you never know what people are going through.
