Lauren Idzik joins us today to talk about her running and it's relationship with her mental health. Then we dive into the topic of "running is my therapy". We each share an article that we found to be relevant and Lauren gave us a list of resources that we have linked below in the show notes!

If you need help, please ask. We are all here for you and we want you to be running with us for many years to come!
