Rise Resolute Podcast

Connect and Rise with Elizabeth Clor, marathoner and author of Boston Bound. Elizabeth describes her journey and how she found the freedom to be her authentic self. She describes the mental strength she has developed through running and encourages us to believe in our untapped potential.

Connect and Rise with Erika as she shares her journey and insight on running and community. Erika will remind you of the power of discipline and also the power that we each have to lift up our fellow woman. She shares that every run isn't easy, but that running gives us the space to gain confidence, believe in ourselves and even to create positive changes in our lives.

Connect and Rise with Martha M. Garcia, a fully dimensional woman who is passionate about sports, movement, mindfulness, and being a human above any title or identity. Martha discusses embracing the duality of life and reminds us that everyone’s lived experience is different. This allows us each to bring something different to the table. Martha describes courage as taking action to honor what you truly think and feel. She will encourage you to live boldly, with actions that match your words.

Connect and Rise with Christina, DC-based runner, attorney, and member of the Brooks Run Happy Team. Christina shares her journey of choosing courage, even in the most difficult times. She asks us to consider the things we never know we’re good at until we try. She also reminds each of us that sometimes courage is reaching out for help when needed, especially as you face your fears, showing up as your authentic self. Sometimes you’ll have to do it scared.... but if you start “showing up for you and keep showing up for you” you’ll be surprised with the incredible outcomes.

Connect and Rise with Hafsa Kamara, 2016 Rio Olympian, Founder of the BrandMe Program, and youth advocate. Hafsa shares her personal journey of becoming an Olympian representing Sierra Leone even when the odds were stacked against her (including her own father's belief that Muslim women did not belong in Track and Field). She reminds us that anything is possible with hard work and determination, even when you think a dream is so big it may never be realized. Hafsa also talks about her current goals which include empowering youth as we continue to demand social justice. She encourages each of us to do what we can because "now is the time for your voice to be heard; now is the time for your actions to matter."
