In this personal episode, I take you behind the scenes of my Boston Marathon qualifying journey and reveal the unexpected parallels I've discovered between athletic training and healing our relationship with food.
I share how shifting from bracing against discomfort to opening up to possibility has transformed not just my running performance, but offers a powerful framework for approaching food challenges.
You'll hear about the crucial role of community support, the mindset shifts that create breakthrough moments, and how embracing the process rather than fixating on outcomes creates freedom in both running and eating.
Whether you're struggling with binge eating or simply seeking a new perspective on healing, this episode offers practical wisdom about transformation that applies far beyond the marathon course.
