Today's guest is Erin Azar, or you may adoringly know her as Mrs. Space Cadet. She calls herself a "Pro Struggle Runner...running through life, one struggle at a time."

We love her, you love her, because she is just so darn relatable. Erin is a literal trailblazer who now has close to a million followers on TikTok.

Want to know what goes through Erin's mind when she's tired and doesn't want to run? Her authentic humor is refreshing. But be warned...laughing is contagious!
