In this re-release of Drink More Water, I sit down with Megan Conner, a running coach and author of "I Am Not a Runner," to talk about what it really means to try something new when you don’t see yourself as “that kind of person.”

In honor of Lunar New Year and the Year of the Fire Horse, this conversation feels more relevant than ever. Fire Horse energy is bold, independent, and a little fearless — and Megan’s journey embodies exactly that.

She didn’t grow up identifying as a runner. She started with curiosity, discomfort, and a willingness to redefine herself, and she teaches us all that we can do the same!

We talk about:
• Setting goals that scare you
• Becoming someone you never imagined you could be
• Why identity shifts are the hardest — and most powerful — kind of growth
• The difference between motivation and commitment
• Coaching yourself through the messy middle

Whether your “running” is fitness, business, creativity, or simply chasing something that feels out of reach, this episode is about claiming the audacity to try.

If the Year of the Fire Horse is about movement, momentum, and courage — consider this your sign.

Listen. Reflect. And maybe start the thing you keep saying you’re “not.”
