Sarah + Amanda talk with a variety of athletes on this episode that originally aired in 2018. Dr. Justin Ross, a Denver-based psychologist and marathon runner, kicks things off by defining an athletic happy place. Then two women runners, Michelle and Casii, talk about their respective smile-makers. Casii talks about how running on trails helps her unlug and “be in the step.”

JRo joins the convo at 24:42.
