Elizabeth Traynor is a writer, speaker, and an avid runner based in Boston. At 24 she lost one of her closest friends to cancer, and shortly after broke her hip during a marathon—which caused her to spiral into a deep depression. Despite struggling heavily during that period, she found an outlet through writing about her grief, trauma, and recovery. Her writing has been featured in SELF Magazine, Better Homes and Gardens, Fitness magazine, and Women’s Running, to name a few.

Elizabeth and I chatted about the fear of abandonment, coping with loss in the face of grief, feeling hopeful about family, and many other intriguing topics. Oh, and of course she answered Five Questions. Meet Elizabeth.
