In this episode of Maybe Running Will Help, Nicky Tamberrino sits down with marathoner and ultrarunner Katie Kiliszewski to talk about recovery, running, and rebuilding identity after years of struggle. Katie opens up about surviving anorexia, addiction, anxiety, and depression, and how she slowly found her way back to herself through healing, self-awareness, and movement.

They also dive into the emotional side of being a sensitive person, the power of mentorship, motherhood, and why running became something driven by joy instead of control. It’s an honest, hopeful conversation about resilience, self-discovery, and learning that the things we once thought made us “too much” may actually be our greatest gifts.

If you’ve ever struggled with your relationship with food, alcohol, your body, or simply feeling different, this episode is for you.
