About Laverne Friesen
Laverne Friesen's journey has been one of diverse experiences, from serving as a first responder in various capacities to working in farming and the energy development industry of Northern Canada. Several years ago, the weight of a lifetime of trauma, including childhood violence and spiritual and emotional abuse, culminated in an occupational stress injury, plunging Laverne into the depths of depression, anxiety, and despair. Trapped in silence by the stigma surrounding mental illness, he battled alone until seeking professional help became his only option.

Amidst the turmoil, Laverne discovered the transformative power of gratitude and the importance of embracing each moment. Having battled through the trenches of victimhood, stuck in negative cycles for decades, Laverne's journey is one of triumph over adversity. Now, he's on a relentless quest to share the hard-won wisdom that reshaped his destiny. As a transformational coach, Laverne's fire burns bright with a mission: igniting the spark of greatness within each of us.

He's not just sharing his tale—he's offering a lifeline of hope to those facing similar struggles. Laverne believes everyone should find their inner power and live the lives they deserve. With passion as his compass, Laverne is determined to arm you with the tools to dodge the pitfalls he once stumbled into.

About the Guest
Nicky Edwards is a physiotherapist with nearly 20 years of experience and a dedicated runner. She’s also a mother of two and an avid hockey player. Her passion for running has led her to complete the London Marathon five times, as well as the New York and Berlin marathons. Remarkably, in 2024, Nicky ran the London Marathon just nine weeks after lung surgery. She has also been part of the medical team at the event, gaining a unique perspective on marathons from both a participant and professional standpoint.
Nicky’s favorite running companion is Cheyne, her loyal German Shorthaired Pointer. Having started running later in life, she understands the challenges that many women face when beginning their running journey. Nicky is committed to helping women over 40 run faster, stronger, and stay injury-free by training in harmony with their physiology. She encourages women to train smarter, not harder, while balancing the demands of their busy lives.
As an experienced public speaker, Nicky has presented at major events like the National Running Show and the London Marathon Running Show, where she shares her expertise on injury prevention, marathon training, women’s health, and mindset. She also volunteers for Children with Cancer UK, supporting marathon runners each year.
