Dear Runner Bod,

Confidently conquering that inner-critic during training with Ashley Emmons , Performance Anxiety Coach


Listen Later

If you’re a high-achieving woman who looks confident on the outside but feels anxious, self-doubting, or never quite “good enough” on the inside…this episode is for you.

In Episode 156, I’m joined by Ashley Emmons, a therapist who specializes in helping high-performing women manage performance anxiety, quiet negative self-talk, and actually believe they’re capable of the goals they’re chasing. Ashley is also a runner herself, which means she truly gets the mental gymnastics that come with training, racing, and constantly pushing for “more.”

We talk about:

  • Why confidence isn’t something you’re born with (and why that’s good news)
  • How performance anxiety shows up in runners and high-achievers
  • What to do when negative self-talk hijacks your training or daily life
  • Simple, practical tools to regulate anxiety in the moment
  • How to start trusting yourself instead of constantly second-guessing

  • This conversation is grounding, empowering, and packed with tools you can actually use—on the run and off.
