This is part 2 of our October breast cancer month series. Today I talk to Kelli who is a mom of 2, wife, professor, lawyer, fellow southern Californian and a new breast cancer survivor. We have known each other since we both had babies in strollers (about 10 years) and she has always been such a supporter of my business and so generous with her brain and heart. We set off on a trail today where Kelli had run before that is close to her house. There, she shares:All ...

UPDATE! We are changing things up this round and are releasing one interview at a time, as opposed to multiple interviews in one episode. This month we have 2 interviews. This episode is part 1, and next week is part 2. (duh)October is breast cancer awareness month, and I wanted to share a couple of stories from some of the women in my group who got the diagnosis and how they managed it. I first talk to Karen who just completed her second marathon a few months ago. She's also an amazin...

Let's face it, running isn't always the best. Sometimes you get injured, and you can't run, and when you look at everyone else running with all your friends, you are like, "Hey! I thought we were together!" This episode is about that spot. Injuries, being in your head and trying to find the loving mojo. The first interview is Brenda who is definitely on the struggle bus. She is started off loving running and then they had a falling out, and now they are trying to get it back on. &...

I am so excited to share these 3 stories of the woman who started a little later their life and are doing amazing things. I call them the Late Bloomer Running Club. First up is Deb, who started to run at the age of 59, after she lost 90 pounds. She got hooked and has done 204 races from everywhere between a 1k to a 100 miler. She talks about the things she has learned along the way, and she isn't even close to slowing down. She race card is booked into 2020. Next up is Tonia, who JUST st...

We all need people who support us. But when we are running, we REALLY need them when we are shooting for big goals. I talk to 2 people who show up in a big way for others. First up, Larissa! She herself is an amazing athlete who is testing her running muscle in a big way this year. But she also is the biggest fan to all others who are putting themselves out there. She cheers on the sidelines, paces and yells the hardest, in her sweet voice, when another runner takes on a new challenge. ...

Happy Mothers Day! I talked to 2 moms, Paige and Sara!Paige is a mom of 2 girls, a cancer survivor, and a runner. She shares her story about adoption and battling cancer at the same time. She's a total badass. Sara Dean has been my buddy for a while now. She's a total hoot, a wonderful friend and a mom of one little Vinnie. She tells it like it is, and we run-walk and look for a bathroom. Cause, motherhood. She is also the host of an amazing podcast called The Shameless Mom Acadamy. Run, don'...

Kelly Herron was attacked 2 years ago in a bathroom when she was training for her first marathon. She fought him off from a class she learned from a self-defense class she had taken 3 weeks before. That event transformed her life and is now helping people start running as a Running Evolution coach and is hosting clinics with her self defense instructor from Fighting Chance. Details here. Jonathon Lieberman has done 5 Ironmans and is just about to run the Boston marathon. His story on how...

I interviewed 3 people who have totally emersed themselves into running. Ty is the manager of the best running shoe store in the planet (in my opinion) Super Jock and Jill and is working on a running streak. Elizabeth is a coach, runner and a writer who pens about running. And Jess is an ultramarathoner, coach and a dietitian for runners. They all have wonderful insights, stories and love of running.

In honor of International Women's Day, I wanted to tap into my tribe of badass women to see what inspires them to run and be in our community. "It's hard to cry and run at the same time.""The most loving thing you can do for yourself is run""Knowing there is a community that's available for "those moments" that I can show up, and don't have to tell the whole story, I can just show up and run.""Its seems like it's always about boys!!""It's really amazing the power of a group of women doin...

I talk to 3 creative types. A graphic designer, a musician and a animator about being creative, the role running plays into it, and smoking.
