Mental health = physical health! In this episode I sat down with Coach Lauren Sheu (@running.for.welllness), runner and mental health advocate, to talk about how running and mental health are intertwined! 

🧠WHY is running good for our mental health?⁠

🧠How the lessons we learn from running translate to our life⁠

🧠Breaking up with the "all or nothing" mentality⁠

🧠Learning to deal with uncomfortable emotions and finding the root cause of your emotional discomfort⁠

🧠Why running isn't a replacement for therapy (& how to find a therapist!)⁠

🧠Dealing with self-doubt, and how it's OK to not be OK even if someone "has it worse" than you⁠
