The Runner Who Had to Slow Down | Sadie’s Story

In this episode, I sit down with one of my best friends, Sadie Gunnell, as she shares her experience being diagnosed with CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) after a running injury completely changed her life.We talk about chronic pain, slowing down, identity loss, grief, healing, and learning that who you are is so much bigger than what you do. Sadie opens up about going from marathon training and teaching fitness classes to navigating a slower season filled with uncertainty, rest, and rebuilding.This episode is for anyone who feels like life forced them to pause, pivot, or let go of something they deeply loved. You are still you, even in the slowing down.
