EP 12: Authenticity and Our Need To Be Liked Feb 22, 2017

Show notes

Authenticity is a buzzy word that people LOVE to throw around. But it's hard to be authentic when we live in a hypercritical social media obsessed world where "likes" have created a new form of status and success. Figuring out who I was and giving myself permission to be "unlikable" took a hell of a lot of time. And social media hasn't made that quest any easier. But let's talk about authenticity and our quest for "likes".

EP 11: Why We Struggle To Call Ourselves Real Runners Feb 21, 2017

Show notes

Struggling to call yourself a "real runner"? I had the hardest time believing that I was a runner for years! I know the "real runner" versus "fake runner/not real runner/imposter runner" (what do we call ourselves when we're in runner limbo?) debate seems to be black and white, but for anyone struggling to assume the believe that they're a real runner, it's a lot harder than just getting permission to call ourselves runners. Let's talk about the real runner struggle, shall we?

EP 10: REDEFINING WHAT STRENGTH LOOKS LIKE Feb 18, 2017

Show notes

This morning, I had an article I wrote for Outside Magazine go live about challenging the health and fitness industry to redefine what strength looks like. But instead of feeling excited at the opportunity to share my story, I just felt disappointed because I don't think that I'll ever actually see the change that I want to see in the industry. All my life the health and fitness world has shown me what they think strength looks like and it's never looked like me. Today, I call bullshit. But I need your help to show the world that we're not motivated to acquire a body we don't have. We're motivated to pursue the strongest versions of ourselves.

Strength doesn't look a certain way, it feels a certain way.

EP 9: PERSONAL BEST VS. PERSONAL RECORD Feb 17, 2017

Show notes

Personal best (PB) and personal record (PR), two words that arguably mean the same thing. Or do they? In 2015, I learned firsthand what it felt like to run a personal best and it didn't really have anything to do with my pace. I was giving everything I had with joy every step of the painful way. It was the closest I'd ever come to embracing pain in a way that was actually fun.

So when you're chasing a goal that feels impossible, fills you with doubt, and scares the crap out of you, the only way you'll give your best is if you're having fun because having fun forces you to be present.

EP 8: GETTING COMFORTABLE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE Feb 16, 2017

Show notes

Woof, where to even begin with this one. We talked doubt, we talked about taking your first steps, but what about pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone? And taking risks? Or getting comfortable being uncomfortable? Don't worry, I have all the thoughts on the subject.

Let's chat.

And it really sucks in the beginning! From losing over 75 pounds to becoming a runner, here's what I've learned about falling in love with the fit life, becoming a runner, and not hating your life along the way.

EP 6: WHAT I HATE ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA Feb 14, 2017

Show notes

Ever scroll through your feed and just bored? Or annoyed? I DO!

Today, I want to talk about why we struggle to reveal our the parts of ourselves we feel compelled to conceal or embarrassed by in addition to our curated best of moments. It's brave to be vulnerable. And risky. But everyone loses when we fail to share our stories in their entirety.
