S1 EP6 - Safety & Empowerment on the Run

In this episode Stephanie is joined by runners and run coaches Sabrina Ehmke and Katherine Wuestenfeld to talk about our reactions to Eliza Fletcher's abduction, how her murder has impacted us, and the ways in which we are working on empowering ourselves and others on and off the run. A trigger warning as we do talk about the culture of victim blaming.
