Oh hey! It's been a while!!In this VERY homegrown and raw "shorty" bonus episode, come along with me and my team "Born to Run 2.0" for Ragnar Race's "Reach the Beach" (RTB) relay race. What a challenging and fun experience that I have been fortunate enough to participate in for several years. Here's a little insider scoop of our sprint team this year.This one is silly but also special to me for a few reasons, one of them being that it was my first road race back in 2 years, and for me and all that I have gone through in those two years, that's a pretty big deal and it couldn't be more fitting for the mission of this podcast.Also, I believe this was my 7th, not 6th RTB :)Stay tuned for more episodes coming SOON from Elevate your Everyday <3

On this Boston Marathon Monday I couldn't think of a better episode to air. Three runners. Countless miles. One shared obsession.Running enthusiasts and fellow running partners and RTB Teammates Matt Persell and Ron Gallant join Shaina to talk about all things running...but then they realized it would take much longer than an hour to do that so consider this part one :)In this episode, we dive into the highs and lows of running—from chasing personal bests to our favorite (and least favorite) race memories. We swap tips on training, staying motivated, and how to pick the perfect pair of sneakers. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or just lacing up for your first 5K, join us for stories, laughs, and plenty of runner real talk.

In this episode, Shaina gets real about what it means to take back your mornings, your energy, and your sense of self. She dives into the journey of joining the 5AM club—not as some productivity flex, but as a way to create space for you before the world wakes up. Whether you’re trying to fit fitness into your chaotic life, wrestling with the guilt of doing something just for yourself, or figuring out how to juggle kids, career, and self-care without dropping the ball—you’re not alone. Shaina talks through how to let life shift and shift with it, how to give yourself grace, and how to stay strong (physically and emotionally) in all the roles you play.Because showing up for yourself? That’s not selfish. That’s power.
