Ep: 101: The Summer Growth Series: Lessons from the Books That Have Shaped Me Through Running, Motherhood, and Life

Welcome to the first episode of our Summer Growth Series!As summer begins, I’m sharing why I decided not to take a podcast break after 100 episodes and instead use this season to revisit some of the personal development books that have had the biggest impact on my life. These are the books that have shaped how I think about running, motherhood, habits, goals, and living with intention.In this episode, I share how discovering personal development books during a busy season of motherhood opened the door to growth, helped me find my voice, and ultimately inspired me to start this podcast. I also talk about why mindset is the area I’m focusing on most as I prepare for marathon training, navigate perimenopause, and savor this season with my family.Over the next several weeks, we’ll dive into books like Atomic Habits, Take Back Your Time, Dream Big, The 5 Second Rule, The Lazy Genius Way, and more, exploring practical lessons that can help you become healthier, happier, and more fulfilled in this busy middle season of life.Whether you’re working toward a big goal, feeling stuck, or simply looking for some encouragement, I hope you’ll join me for this summer journey of growth.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why personal development books have played such a significant role in my journeyHow mindset impacts our goals, habits, and healthWhy I’m revisiting these books as I prepare for NYC Marathon trainingWhat you can expect from this summer podcast series ⭐Join my FREE Fill up to Spill out fitness community ⁠https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc74TcoQhCJL58jZKz2VOjtYzr7eJaIXNxCSAL17sJ8A05gFA/viewform?usp=sf_link⁠⭐️ My BODi affiliate link https://shop.bodi.com/?code=socialladder_affiliate&ambassadorID=76c2732d-fd92-47c6-b629-1036f38a36e1Use code ALLISONS8BODI to save an extra 15%⭐️ Let’s connect on instagram!https://www.instagram.com/filluptospillout?igsh=MTRxcmdmaW14OWVteA%3D%3D&utm_source=qrIf you loved this episode, please share it with a friend and leave a review on Apple Podcasts—it helps more women like us stay strong and healthy for life!Thanks for listening!~Allison
