#43 The Trucker's Fable: Finding Harmony on the Highway
Manage episode 415414085 series 3326941
Embark on a voyage with me, Cindy Tunstall, as I recount the tales and trials of my life as an over-the-road truck driver. It's a journey that began in 2020, filled with the allure of the open road, the taste of freedom in every mile, and the wisdom found in a simple fable. Feel the wind in your hair as I contemplate upgrading to a CDL and the possibilities that come with it, like steering my 26-foot box truck into nooks and crannies unreachable by the big rigs. From the camaraderie among fellow drivers to the gastronomic delights at hidden food stops, I weave the story of our collective quest for a golden balance between work and life, echoing the timeless lesson of the Goose and the Golden Egg.
Joining me in this episode is my co-host Melinda Fox Wellington, who brings her own flavor of insight into our discussions on health and wellness on the road. Together, we tackle the hard truths about what it means to take care of ourselves when our office is behind the wheel. We're talking cholesterol, blood pressure, and the significance of making those small, yet life-altering adjustments to our routines. Melinda and I invite you to become a part of our vibrant Facebook communities, Healthier Truckers and Enjoying Life OTR, where we champion the cause for a healthier, happier life on the long haul. This episode is an ode to the journey, the joy, and our heartfelt gratitude to you, our treasured listener community, for hitching a ride with us on this incredible adventure.
