  • Radical Self-Acceptance: Finding Your Own Path Through Running

    Radical Self-Acceptance: Finding Your Own Path Through Running
    Jul 5 2025

    In this episode I’m diving into what radical self-acceptance really looks like—on the run and in life. From ignoring pressure to chase big-name races, to honoring my body with real fuel instead of restriction, running has taught me how to live more in tune with who I am, not who I think I should be.

    I share a story from a marathon in Amish Country that gave me one of my clearest moments of self-acceptance, and why smaller, soulful races feel more meaningful than any finish line photo ever could.

    🎯 Weekly challenge: Reflect on one area of your life where self-acceptance could shift your perspective.

  • Choose Your Crew

    Choose Your Crew
    Jun 27 2025

    This week’s episode is short — just a quick reflection that hit me after a visit from a friend who showed up in exactly the way I needed. It made me think about what it means to have a real crew in life — the kind of people who meet you at mile 80 and tell you to keep going, even when you’re not at your best.

    If you’ve ever found yourself grieving the ones who didn’t show up, or wondering who’s really in your corner, this one’s for you.
    You don’t need a huge crew — just the right one.

  • Six Months Sober: Choosing Discomfort Over Numbing

    Six Months Sober: Choosing Discomfort Over Numbing
    Jun 15 2025

    This episode is personal. I open up about reaching 6 months sober, choosing discomfort over numbing, and how endurance running has shaped my ability to sit with pain instead of running from it. If you're carrying something heavy right now, I hope this reminds you that you're not alone — and that real strength is built one hard moment at a time.
