In this episode, Joe Sanok talks with world-record marathoner and animal advocate Fiona Oakes about how passion and purpose fuel resilience. Fiona shares how she overcame major physical setbacks to become the fastest woman to run a marathon on all seven continents and the North Pole, all while running to raise awareness for animal welfare. She discusses the connection between her running and her lifelong commitment to compassion, how training in “dark zones” builds mental toughness, and why keeping purpose at the core of your actions sustains both career and life. Fiona also offers advice for private practitioners on staying adaptable, compassionate, and open to change.
