Show notes

No can be one of the most powerful words in your vocabulary. But! It's not always easy to say it. Today, I'm connecting with Dr. Jeff Gardere, a medical advisor for Ro Mind, board-certified clinical psychologist, and Associate Professor and Course Director at Touro College. We talk about how to say no and protect your boundaries, plus the right verse wrong way to turn something (or someone) down.

186. Emma Coburn, 3X Olympian & Pro Runner Dec 06, 2021

Show notes

Season Eight! What’s up!? This week, Emma Coburn, three-time Olympian & 2017 steeplechase World Champion, joins me for episode 186. We had the chance to catch up when she was in town recently over NYC Marathon Weekend, and got into it all from her backstory to her recent trip to the Tokyo games. Emma tells me that she didn’t truly love running at first, what changed her attitude toward the sport, and the impact that team has had on her training and life. We also unpack what it’s like to train with all of her best friends in Colorado on Team Boss and be married to your coach. Plus, we talk about some tough stuff: Despite being favorited to come back home with a medal this year at the Olympics, Emma came up short. We talk about the ~why~ plus how she navigated the emotions of that. Emma also opens up about how she’s been doing since her mom was diagnosed with cancer in December 2019, and shares a beautiful perspective about consciously choosing optimism and happiness even when life’s hurdles get you down.

5-MINUTE FRIDAY: Don't Let Comparison Steal Your Joy Nov 26, 2021

Show notes

The last episode in season 7! HOW? When!? Time is flying. Today, I'm talking about a lesson that hit home for me today at the Pequot Runners' Turkey Trot. I've been running this race for four years, and for the past three years — I ran a faster time each one. For 5-MINUTE FRIDAY this week, I'm talking about why it's OK not to continue that trend.

185. Jordan Chiles, Gymnast & Olympic Silver Medalist Nov 22, 2021

Show notes

In 2021, millions learned Jordan Chiles name. The 20-year-old made waves at this year’s summer games by stepping in for best friend and teammate Simone Biles after Biles withdrew from the team competition following a shaky showing on the vault. For episode 185, we talk all about that moment in Tokyo, what it felt like to get that silver medal, and the necessary conversation that team USA gymnastics sparked about the prioritization of mental health. Plus, we learn about Jordan’s beginnings in Texas, how she unwillingly went to her first-ever gymnastics practice, how she navigated verbal abuse early in her gymnastics career and the impact it's had on her. Plus — her big career aspirations beyond the mat. This conversation is fun, honest, and I’m thankful that Jordan was able to squeeze me in finishing up the Gold Over America Tour.

Show notes

On October 24, 2020, DiDi Richards' life changed forever. In a freak accident scrimmaging on the court at Baylor, Richards ended up temporarily paralyzed.

We also chat about the state of women in sports, her thoughts on social media (and when it's useful versus not), and what's next — beyond basketball.

Last week I made a lot of deliberate choices reinforcing my boundaries, setting myself up in the best way possible to both run the marathon and interview a slew of women I admire.
