Today we have my favorite guest in the world - you guessed it - Mirna Valerio!

That means you can have hours of happy, mind-expanding Mirna listening by simply tuning in here. I am going to take you back in time so …

Today I’m trying something new. I’m interviewing a friend, someone who has been on the show before - Elizabeth Kraus. Check out episode 139 - Elizabeth Kraus Asks Herself 3 Questions Every Day - an interview we did in July 2019. It's sooo good...and it also shows how much we go through and how much we can change in just 3+ years. Elizabeth is a pow…

Today you will hear our version of the Girlfriend’s Guide to Menopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy. Our guest, Mary Jane Minkin, is possibly the best-suited person to speak on this subject and I’ll tell you why.

No, that's not a typo. My old friend, one of my college swimming besties (we're standing next to each other top row 5th & 6th from right), Lyn (Askey) Jutronich was recently attacked by a great white shark while swimming in Del Mar, CA. I had reconnected with her about a year ago when I was seeking advice on whether to start HRT. She sent me a note…

Today is a big-time overshare episode. I am a huge advocate for learning about your body and taking control of your health - from the inside. One of the best ways to do this is to become an expert of your own blood metrics or biomarkers, something that seemed difficult to do in the past, but is now incredibly easy and cost-effective. I stumbled upo…

Today you hear from Dr Jenn Salib Huber, one of the most infectious voices on food, menopause & nutrition today. I was listening to her podcast The Midlife Feast - the particular episode was titled something like Take Iron or Go Poop - Why do we have to choose? It actually had a better title, but that was the gist! I was immediately smitten by her …

Today I connect with an old friend who is doing really cool things for women - Jill Angie is empowering women to set and go after life goals they didn’t realize were possible. She calls herself a fat running coach as she runs her Not Your Average Runner empire. She’s also a life coach which is sort of obvious as we chat, a speaker, an author and th…

Selene Yeager is the host of the Hit Play Not Pause podcast which in my opinion, qualifies her for this title: Menopause Expert. Selene is also the content manager for Feisty Menopause, and a top-selling professional health and fitness writer who lives what she writes as an NASM certified personal trainer, USA Cycling licensed coach, Pn1 certified …

Welcome to the first episode of The Body Summit - my way of providing accessible & powerful info to women who are dealing with the before, during or after of menopause. I created the series with the goal of learning more about what happens to our bodies during this time (which can start in our early 30s), but it's very clear that we're also affecte…

KINDTAIL DEAL! Use code RUNTHISWORLD for $15 off I reached out to Amy Kim from Kindtail when I was on the hunt for the best crate for our new french bulldog, Pickle. All I could see were those horrible cages that look like jail cells. Our old lab, Annie, once literally "chewed" her way out of one of those cages, Jaws-style, blood and guts included.…

I met Lizzie Larock at the Steamboat Springs Thrive Women's Leadership Conference. She did a talk called something like "how to live a perfectly imperfect life" - I knew I needed to meet her. But a funny thing happened before I stepped into her presentation - we talk about it at the beginning of this interview - sometimes if we just pay attention o…

Sara Vaughn is one of my favorite people on the planet. She was first on this podcast in Sept 2016. We talked about what it was like to be a mom of 3 kids and race at the top of the American track circuit in the 1500m. I jokingly asked if she thought she would pop out another kid before the next Olympic Trials and she said that was not in the plans…

I had never spoken to a real life shaman before my conversation with Makhosi Hefisah Nejeser. I was pretty sure it would be a mix of "woo woo" and spirituality with some chanting and drums on the side. So wrong! Makhosi is a down-to-earth, beautiful, open, vulnerable human being with a genuinely authentic storytelling style. As she opens up, you fi…

Mirna Valerio, the Mirnavator, shares her journey in her 7th appearance on the pod. She is an evolving human like all of us, but what makes her special is how …

Today I speak to a running legend, a legend who’s still running at the top level of the sport - Molly Huddle. I’ve been a fan and follower of Molly’s forever. I’ve been so impressed by how she has evolved her career so she can continue to do what she loves and improve while most athletes fade away from injury or the simple aggregation of so many mi…

I've been deeply emotionally impacted by the mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado in March 2021. So much that I made a post on my Facebook page asking for connections to people who are working to end gun violence in our country. That request quickly turned into a dispute about second amendment rights. I realized immediately that simply uttering the p…

Trigger warning & little person listening warning: This episode may trigger people who have gone through sexual trauma. We talk about sexual abuse. Please be aware of your environment when listening. Yet another insanely smart, insightful, brilliant woman who was put on this planet to help others, or in Britt's case, to help others' heal and move f…

Dr. Marisa Porges might be the most impressive person I've ever talked to. Here goes. Today Dr. Porges is the the eighth Head of School of The Baldwin School, a 130-year-old all-girls school outside of Philadelphia, that is renowned for academic excellence and preparing girls to be leaders and changemakers. She is an alumna of Baldwin and personall…

This is a special release in response to the Boulder mass shooting which occurred on March 22, 2021. Every shooting has hit close to home for me, but this one was literally three blocks from my old house in Boulder, at the grocery store we visited multiple times a week. I found myself processing many emotions including deep sadness, anger, frustrat…

NOTE: The intro to this episode was recorded three days after the Boulder shooting and includes some profanity and opinions by me about mass shootings. Please note that the content may not be work or young-child friendly. Kaycie Grigel sent me an email in the midst of chemo treatments for her recently diagnosed breast cancer. Through the difficulti…

Once upon a time Sara Gross was a Women's Studies and World Religions student. Right around the time she was working on her dissertation about female history, she discovered triathlon, which led to a 10ish year hiatus from her work in women's empowerment. The funny thing is that she entered the sport of triathlon just as I was leaving it, so we nev…

A graduate of the Institute of Culinary Education, she has created online how-to videos that have amassed more than fifty million views and celebrities like Jennifer Garner, Sarah Michelle Gel…

We all talk about wanting to turn our passions into work. I'm personally attempting to do just that right now during my sabbatical from life. First, we need to identify our passions and then we need to honestly assess whether our skills align with our passions. Today's guest Ryan Van Duzer has done just that. He lives his passion every day - and ha…

I met Emily Holland in October 2019. She interviewed me about my entrepreneurial journey on her Stokecast Podcast. Toward the end of the interview, we talked about my sobriety journey and I did what lots of podcasters pull on other podcasters - I turned one of her questions back on her. I asked her if there was anything in her life that she felt th…

I discovered Yuma Haidara when she was an ambassador for Skirt Sports. I think I stumbled upon a photo of her crossing a finish line in a Lioness Skirt, all smiles and happiness. Then I dug deeper and saw this gorgeous, tall, glowing woman standing in front of a huge truck only to learn that she is both a runner and a trucker. I was even more intri…

I reached out to Tasha in July 2020. I didn't have a topic in mind when I discovered her; I just knew that I needed to talk to her. It finally hit me. She is on the journey. We don't share enough stories from people who are literally in the middle of the journey. We like to share stories from people who have been "enlightened," who have "gotten the…

"You have a calling and a purpose. I have insights and answers." This is the first thing you read on Debra Silverman's website and for those of us who are in a confused space in life, possibly made even more so by our current health and political climates, we want insights. We want answers! I took an interest in astrology when I first met Tim. I th…

Sarah is one in a million. In 2006 she visited Boulder to interview for Skirt Sports, this crazy little company with a powerful mission. I hired her immediately, or at least after I asked her to help us move boxes around the warehouse and I realized how strong she was! 😘 I had the honor of working with Sarah for over 15 years, longer than I thought…

It’s not often you meet a world-class bronze sculptor. It’s even more rare that she’s a woman and she lives next door! I met Sandy Graves before I even moved to Steamboat Springs. We were viewing our future home, stepped into the alley and there she was. Fiddling with something in her garage. Upon closer inspection, that something was the holy mecc…

Kara Burns has been on the show before. In September 2016, I featured her story in episode 24 "From Prison to 26.2" which quickly became my highest-listened. We followed it up immediately with episode 25 "Forgiving Yourself" when I realized I had been too chicken to ask her what she meant when she said "I lost my daughter." Those conversations four…

I met Jamie Pendleton through my husband. She was looking for a coach to give her structure and confidence for a huge running goal - to break 3 hours at the New York Marathon. At that time I just thought she was a driven athlete who needed accountability like most of Tim's clients. Boy was I wrong. Jamie runs for so much more than the goals and str…

If you're rolling your eyes and getting ready to skip this episode, you're not alone. Kelsey Abbott felt the same way when she first learned about Human Design. As she says in our conversation today, "I was totally skeptical." But the more she learned, the more she allowed herself to open up to something that defied her career as a scientist and ta…

Kriste Peoples magically fell into my life when I was looking for local models for Skirt Sports. We've always worked hard to showcase real women from the community of all ages, sizes, ethnic diversity and more. From the first moment she smiled for the camera, it was obvious she was special. Kriste has that glow. That magical glow that truly special…
