Description

“I’m a very scared, very anxious person that does all of these things with my hands shaking.”Jess Greene joins Dan Harty for a deeply honest conversation about her transformation—from a hundred-pound weight loss and serious health scares to becoming one of the most accomplished ultra-distance runners in the world. Jess shares how movement, meal planning, and consistency helped her rebuild her relationship with food, her body, and herself, not from a place of punishment, but from a desire for healing and longevity.The conversation goes far beyond running, as Jess opens up about living with anxiety and OCD, how endurance sports became a powerful tool for managing mental health, and why gentleness—not grit alone—was the key to sustaining long-term change. Along the way, she explains how fear, grief, and self-doubt don’t disappear at the finish line, but can be carried, processed, and transformed through movement and community.00:02 — Jess explains how simple meal planning supported her 100-pound weight loss07:00 — Living with anxiety and OCD while pushing physical limits10:00 — Why movement is essential for Jess’s mental health17:00 — From a broken leg to discovering running later in life21:00 — How endurance skills transfer from parenting, academics, and life24:00 — Reframing weight loss away from appearance and toward capability31:00 — Why comparison and leaderboards steal joy35:00 — Running 100 miles around her own neighborhood38:00 — What keeps Jess returning to the Moab 240 year after year46:00 — Healing grief, shame, and emotional wounds on the trail52:00 — The brutal realities of racing through extreme weather and exhaustionJoin the 40-Day Fight here: www.40dayfight.com/more-info Thank you Jess for being a guest on Delay the Decay!Find Jess on social media:- Jess on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/randomhappythings/Delay the Decay is a podcast for unashamedly ambitious people who want to live longer, better and deeper by prioritizing what’s really important in life.- Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/delay-the-decay-with-dan-harty/id1839656855 - Follow us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/14SGNmzOWOzJOLjnev66TF?si=5b7d810ecc244c77 - Find our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DelaytheDecayPodcast - Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delay_the_decay/ - Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Delay-the-Decay/61577725301458/ - Website: www.delaythedecay.com *** New episodes every Monday! ***Dan Harty is a coach, entrepreneur, and former pastor, who helps people build resilience in body, mind and spirit by emphasizing faith, fitness, and fighting the natural decay with daily habits rooted in biblical truths.
