STRONG: Fit For Business with Vikram Rajan, Episode 6

Welcome to STRONG: Fit For Business, a business success podcast presented through the lens of physical and mental fitness. In this episode, host Vikram Rajan speaks with Lauren Gallagher and Lori Bolander, partners at Gallagher Bolander Smedley LLP, a trusts and estates law firm.

From Lauren rebuilding her strength after cancer and finding Pilates to Lori building 5 a.m. workouts, yoga and meditation into her routine, they show that staying strong is less about perfection and more about continuing to show up. Movement, they explain, is what keeps them clear-headed, focused and able to show up fully for their clients.

Tune in to the episode to hear about:

* How Lauren Gallagher rebuilt her strength after cancer and eventually found a fitness routine that worked for her

* Why does Lori Bolander believe that showing up matters more than being perfect when life disrupts your routine?

* How physical activity can create space to manage stress, find clarity and prepare for the demands of work

* What can the discipline of maintaining a fitness routine teach us about staying consistent when life and business get busy?

* Sustainable success requires making space for health, family and life outside the business
