Episode 22: The Mile That Changed Everything

Pam Dwyer introduces the Plus One Theory, a philosophy centered on taking one more step forward regardless of life circumstances to create meaningful transformation over time.

• The Plus One Theory originated from Pam's childhood experience running a timed mile despite malnourishment and poverty
• During the challenging run, Pam discovered inner strength by channeling past pain into determination
• This approach became central to Pam's parenting style—expecting effort and resilience rather than perfection
• Storytelling creates powerful connections, allowing others to reflect on their own journeys
• The Plus One Theory isn't about doing more for more's sake, but about intentional small actions
• Pam is currently writing a book about the Plus One Theory featuring real stories of overcoming adversity
• Future podcast episodes will focus on applying the theory to health and wellness with expert guests
• Sustainable progress matters more than perfection when building healthy habits
