Pam and Natalie, offer a window into this world where each stride tells a story, especially when joined by the awe-inspiring Alexa Hasman. Alexa isn't just a runner; she's an endurance coach, a beacon of strength, and an advocate for social change with Everytown for Gun Safety. Her tales are not only about the raw beauty of conquering miles but also the introspective journey and the healing embrace of nature that comes with it.

Diving deep into the Cocodona 250, we reveal the intensive preparations that go beyond physical training, touching upon the therapeutic rhythm of trail running and the indispensable camaraderie found in these endurance events. Weaving in my expertise in exercise science and sports psychology, we explore how mental fortitude and positive self-talk can be the unseen muscles that carry you across the finish line. It's a conversation that reaffirms the joy found in the journey itself and the celebration of every step taken, both on the trail and in life.The Quiet Gift: A Journey of Self Worth and Resilience is now available for download as an audible.  Check it out!Support the showSubscribe to Our Weekly ThinkLetter FacebookInstagramCheck out our Book Series:The Quiet Gift: A Journey of Self Worth and ResilienceMagical Mornings JournalDisclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is for general informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
