Wellness With Stackzzz

In this eighteenth episode, we’re diving into something a little deeper, the weird nostalgia of missing your old self but knowing you’ve outgrown her.

Marathon season is here again, and I can’t lie... Part of me misses that version of me who chasing goals and sharing every run on Strava. But as much as I loved that season, I’ve realized this year I don’t actually want to go back. Which is why this week, we’re chatting about what it feels like to move on from a version of yourself that everyone else still loves, and how to sit in that gray space without guilt.

Whether yours was your “career girl” era, your gym obsession, or a phase you’ve simply grown past, this episode is for anyone learning to love who they are now, even when it looks a little different than before.

In this seventeenth episode, we’re doing a brief catch-up... KIDDING. This is Yappin with Squigzzz, so obviously we’re chatting for over an hour to update you on all the things.

It’s been a minute since the last episode, so today we’re finally catching up on everything with a very special guest: Ryan!

During this yappin session, Ryan and I dive into the Chicago Marathon, why it didn’t go exactly as planned for him, and some of the biggest lessons learned from a tough race day. We also talk through what’s next for both of us when it comes to running, because let’s be honest, it’s been a bit of a love/hate season for me in that department.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged after missing a goal or if you’re in a “what’s next?” season of life, this one’s for you.

In this sixteenth episode, we’re doing a little mid-year check-in. After spending the beginning of 2025 recovering from burnout and overtraining, I have now spent the last 12 weeks experimenting with intention. I built and followed a full half-marathon training block, not for a race, but to rebuild trust with my body, my training plan, and my mindset.

During this yappin session, we’re talking structure, recovery, performance gains, and how I’ve actually improved while doing MUCH less. So, if you’ve ever felt like you needed to “do more” to see progress, or if you’re in a season of trial and error yourself, this episode is for you. 

In this fifteenth episode, we’re slowing it down and romanticizing life a little by chatting all about the small rituals + daily habits that have brought more peace, presence, and joy into my everyday life.  

During this yappin session, I’m walking you through the tiny-but-mighty habits that keep me grounded. If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly chasing the next goal or struggling to be "on" in every season of life, this one’s for you.

In this fourteenth episode, we’re getting real about something that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough: periods. If you’ve ever been told it’s normal to not have one, or if you’ve ever been on birth control just to “fix” your cycle, this one’s for you.

During this yappin session, I’m walking you through my full story: going off the pill, learning how to fuel and train differently, and how I finally got my period back and started to feel like myself again. It’s been a journey of trial and error, mindset shifts, and tuning into my body in a way I never had before. SOOOO grab a latte or go for a walk, and let’s talk hormones, healing, and womanhood.

In this thirteenth episode, I’m getting honest about how the start of 2025 didn’t go how I planned when it comes to running — but maybe that was exactly what I needed. After diving right back into intense training post-marathon and half PR, I found myself stuck in the same toxic mindset, chasing validation instead of balance.

During this yappin session, I’m sharing the reality of hitting an overtraining wall, why I’ve been so back and forth about my race plans this year, and how I’m finally building a training routine that supports my health, physically and mentally. If you’ve ever felt pressure to stay in “grind mode” or prove yourself on Strava, this one’s for you.

In this twelfth episode, we’re back for part two of our couple’s Q&A, this time fresh off my boyfriend running the Boston Marathon! We’re chatting all about his experience running one of the most iconic races in the world, what it was like for both of us to be part of the Boston Marathon weekend, and how running truly plays SUCH a huge role in our relationship.

During this yappin session, we’ll also dive into what’s next for me in running, why I haven’t signed up for a race just yet (although I keep saying I am going to), and how we’ve learned to support each other through every training cycle, finish line, and everything in between. Whether you’re chasing a big goal or navigating your own running journey, this one’s a real look at how the sport can shape not just your path — but your relationships too.

In this eleventh episode, I’m switching things up and bringing on a special guest, my boyfriend! We’re answering all of your questions about running, wellness, and relationships.

During this yappin session, we’ll dive into everything from balancing different training styles and even why dating in today’s world can be so complicated. Whether you’re here for the running talk, the relationship tips, or just a fun Q&A with us, this episode is packed with real conversations and plenty of LOLs.

In this tenth episode, I’m diving into the small but powerful swaps I’ve made in my routine that have completely changed the way I feel, perform, and recover. From gut health to training shifts, I’ve realized that sometimes less is more — and that being intentional with your choices makes all the difference.

During this yappin session, I’ll share the nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle swaps that have helped with digestion, energy, and even my overall fitness performance. Whether you’re looking to make smarter choices for your health or just curious about what’s worked for me, this episode is packed with simple, effective changes that might just make a huge impact for you too.

In this ninth episode, I’m taking a deep dive into what’s next for me in regard to running as I head into 2025. After reflecting in episode 8 on some of the toxic habits I developed, I’m now focused on reshaping my journey, prioritizing a healthier mindset, and setting goals that actually serve me.

During this yappin session, I’ll share my biggest takeaways from 2024, the progress I’ve already made this year, and the new goals I’m setting for myself. If you’ve ever had to shift your approach to something you love, this yappin session is for you.
