What if the most neglected athlete in the barn… is you?
In this powerful episode of In the Zone with Ian Robb & Dancin’ Pete Rodda, we welcome internationally recognized author, speaker, and wellness expert Casey Conrad, who has spent more than 26 years helping people transform their health, mindset, and leadership.
In the equestrian world, horses receive world-class care. Riders train relentlessly. But trainers, coaches, and leaders often run on stress, caffeine, and exhaustion while putting everyone else first.
Casey challenges that culture.
Drawing from her books Make Yourself Healthy Again and Bitter or Better, Casey shares practical strategies for reclaiming your health while also opening up about her deeply personal journey growing up with an alcoholic mother — and the life-changing decision to become better, not bitter.
In this conversation, we explore:
• Why leaders often neglect their own health
• The hidden cost of burnout in high-performance environments
• How emotional patterns can affect physical wellness
• Small lifestyle changes that create lasting energy and resilience
• Why taking care of yourself is the foundation of taking care of others
If you're a trainer, rider, entrepreneur, or high performer who constantly pours into everyone else, this episode is your reminder:
You can't lead, coach, or perform at your best if you’re running on empty.
Because peak performance starts with the person in the mirror.
