Kara Goucher is a long-distance runner, Olympian, author, and mother. Her journey has taught her the power of self-belief paired with the support of others. In her new book, "The Longest Race," and through her advocacy for women's rights, she encourages us all to rise above doubt and pressure to become our most authentic selves.

In this two part conversation, Kara, who has represented the USA at the Beijing and London Olympics and finished third at the Boston Marathon, joins co-hosts and fellow athletes Travis Macy and Sonya Looney to share stories from life and sport.

In part two of this incredible conversation, Kara offers insights into battling imposter syndrome, the thrill of winning a medal, and how to embrace autonomy and joy in running while holding the weight of expectations. Plus, Kara shares advice for parents navigating disordered eating and body image with young athletes.

You can find part one of the conversation on the Sonya Looney Show, where Kara  discusses challenges in pregnancy and athletics, how she has persevered and now advocates for women's rights in the male-dominated world of sports, and offers opportunities for men to join the conversation.

The Sonya Looney Show is a podcast about how to live a high performance life. Sonya interviews the world’s experts talking about mindset, plant-based nutrition, and inspiring stories to help you be better every day. You can find it on your favorite podcast platform.
