Running to Heal: How 9 Marathons Helped Me Find Myself After Divorce


Listen Later

What do marathons and healing after heartbreak have in common? A lot more than you might think.

In this episode, Rachel shares her powerful journey through 9 marathons—including the Boston Marathon on the 50th anniversary of women running the race—and how running became her lifeline after divorce. Her journey to complete the 6 Abbott World Major Marathons took a decade of her life. From chasing finish lines to finally choosing herself, this story is about so much more than racing.

It’s about grief, growth, and the courage to walk away from a life that wasn’t yours. It’s about the power of reclaiming your body, your goals, and your voice.

Whether you're a single woman navigating your own fresh start, or a runner searching for deeper meaning on the road, this episode will meet you right where you are.

✨ Featuring:
— Running after divorce
— Healing through movement
— Letting go of chasing (relationships, medals, titles)
— Roberta Gibb & the legacy of women in Boston
— Choosing freedom over finish lines
