I have a big dream of hosting a full weekend-long run retreat — mountain views, movement, connection, the whole thing. But this year? I didn’t have the means, the time, or the space to make it happen.

I almost let that stop me… until I asked myself: What if I just started smaller?

In this episode, I’m sharing how I turned that big dream into something bite-sized — a simple morning in the mountains with running, yoga, coffee, and homemade pastries. It wasn’t fancy, but it was real, and it reminded me what can happen when you stop waiting for perfect conditions and just begin.

If you’ve ever felt like your dream is too big, too far away, or too “not yet” — this one’s for you.

In this episode, Kate shares what drew her to outdoor sports, how she trains for 100-mile ultramarathons, and what it’s like to DNF—and keep going. We talk about the unique challenges women face in ultra running, the role of community, and how putting yourself on the line—again and again—can build a quieter kind of confidence. Whether you're curious about your first trail race or knee-deep in your own endurance journey, Kate’s insights will hit home.

After six years of being single, I moved in with my boyfriend just six months after we started dating — and that transition has been a journey. In this episode, I share what it’s like to go from solo life to sharing space, freedom, and daily routines. I dive into what’s amazing about both phases, what I miss, and what I’m learning. Plus, I answer your questions like: Is it normal to miss being single? How do you know if it’s the right relationship? And how do you balance independence with togetherness?
