Second 10 Min – Breaking Free from the box & the Power of Movement with TriDot Coach Brandi Ramirez
In this inspiring episode, TriDot Coach Brandi Ramirez opens up about her powerful journey through breast cancer — a battle that tested her spirit and ultimately reignited her drive to train, lead, and live fully again. She shares how learning to pick herself back up led her to create SheStrong, a non-profit built on the belief that movement is life and that you are not your diagnosis. That’s when TriDot Coach Kirk Madden stepped in — guiding her journey back into triathlon with his deeply personalized coaching approach and helping her navigate finding the strength withing herself.
Through her story, Brandi reveals how thankful she is for her amazing team she works alongside, and the core values at TriDot — centered on faith, eternity, and inclusion — have shaped a community where everyone is welcome to share their truth. She speaks passionately about the importance of community togetherness and how the TriDot culture fosters deep connection, something she loves seeing come alive through their sponsorship of the Wildflower Experience.
With heartfelt honesty, Brandi celebrates the phenomenal strength of women — how they uplift, empower, and push one another to new heights. Her message is one of resilience, hope, and liberation.
Tune in as she reminds us that life is meant to be experienced, not endured — and that true power comes from breaking free from the box and rediscovering the strength within.
Movement is life. Faith is strength. Togetherness is everything. Community is at their Core!
A perfect time to share during Breast Cancer Awareness month globally recognized.
