In this episode, I share the story behind Yaya’s Run Club—how it started, why I started it, and what it’s grown into over the last year. We talk about community, connection, and some of the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Plus, I share a special announcement at the end of the episode.

This episode is basically what would happen if you put two friends in front of microphones and let them yap while folding towels. Paige and I talk about meeting in college, Girl Gains memories, her career working with trees, people pleasing, integrity, facing uncomfortable things, and a whole lot of random tangents in between.

In this episode, I talk about body image, fitness culture, and how my relationship with fitness has changed. We dive into the pressure to look a certain way, the difference between health and appearance, and what it means to build a relationship with fitness that actually adds to your life instead of controlling it.

Welcome to the first episode of Yaya’s Yap Corner! Today I’m sharing a little bit about me, why I started this podcast, and what you can expect moving forward. Thanks for listening and welcome :)
