In this episode, I’m sharing a special conversation from Strides for Strength podcast, the run coaching business I co-founded with Erin. We dive into the transformation from athlete to coach, what it means to lead by example, and the parallels between running, personal growth, and entrepreneurship.
We also reflect on the ups and downs of building a business while working full-time as nurses, overcoming self-doubt, and pushing past fear. If you’ve ever questioned if you have what it takes to chase a big goal—on the run or in life—this episode is for you.
