from Back of the Pack Podcast · host Kyle Walker

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, we’re flipping the script and handing the mic to the women. Kyle is joined by special guest Hillary Burgess—a San Antonio-based runner, influencer, wife, and mom of two—who opens up about the wild mental marathon of motherhood, burnout, body image, and invisible labor. From emotional load to lacing up, we dive into how running offers not just endorphins, but escape routes. Hillary gets real about mom guilt, the pressures of social media, and why sometimes the strongest thing you can do is admit you're struggling. It’s heartfelt, it’s honest, and yes—there may be some laughter!. Whether you’re a runner, a parent, or just trying to keep it together, this one’s for every woman carrying more than miles on her back.
