In this episode of The On Purpose Podcast, Jerrod Hardy sits down with Abby Heffern, ultra marathoner and running coach, to explore what it really means to develop unhinged self-belief—the kind that allows you to chase big dreams even when they don’t make sense yet.

Abby shares how endurance isn’t just physical—it’s a mindset built through showing up, embracing uncertainty, and continuing forward when things get uncomfortable. Through her journey in running and coaching, she highlights the power of vulnerability, storytelling, and resilience in both performance and life.

This conversation is a reminder that you don’t need to have everything figured out—you just need the courage to take the next step.
