The fourth stop of the Move Her Mind event series with Asics was held in Nashville, TN. In this episode we speak with Lolita Sneed-Bryant, an RN, Certified Run Coach and Certified Health Coach and Abby Lokits, Executive Director of Free to Move, a non-profit advocating for Women’s Safety.

We discuss tactics and resources for coming back from trauma, women’s safety and delineating between anxiety and fear. In this discussion, Lolita mentions a coronary calcium scan, also called a heart scan, which is a non-invasive CT scan used to assess coronary artery disease (CAD) risk.
