September 25, 2019 E 15: “No Judgement, Just Love” with Rochelle Lindsey, Author/Writer
Are you ready for a judgment-free zone? Listen in as Stephanie sits down with Rochelle Lindsey, Chicago native (but Louisvillian-at-heart), to talk about life as a mother runner. Rochelle talks about running after injury, balancing family life with training, and just being that woman that supports other women. She also shares how watching her husband run the Boston Marathon inspired her to train for her first marathon. You’ll also hear Rochelle stress how important it is to acknowledge that running is for each individual and you never know what other runners are going through. Lastly, she’ll inspire you to run with a purpose. Her book, "Overcomers Versus Survivors" also details the challenges she has overcome in her life and how they have shaped her into the person she is today!
