The inspiring journey of one woman from addiction and low self esteem to home ownership and unshakable confidence. Shelley Leone shares her story to inspire others and spread the message that anything is possible if you put in the work and trust in yourself and your community.

Her story has received National and local media attention. Having been featured on people.com, the today show, and in SHAPE magazine and in Women’s Running, I was truly fortunate to chat with Shelley and to subsequently have the opportunity to share her story with you today.

I will be narrating this episode with information from Shelley’s past interviews linked below, and you will hear through clips from our conversation her passion for giving hope to others.

I have no doubt this episode is going to leave you feeling inspired, motivated, and excited about what is possible through running.
