Conversations on Running, Faith, Mental Health, and Resilience
A running and faith podcast for adults dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, and hard seasons.
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re carrying more than most fitness plans were built for.
Real conversations at the intersection of faith, mental health, and movement for the days showing up feels impossible.
Through solo teachings, honest conversations, and guided reflections, you’ll find support without hustle culture, shame, or empty platitudes. My coaching is not therapy or medical care.
Struggle is not a spiritual failure. And you are allowed to move at your own pace. You’re stronger than the struggle. I’m here to help you prove it.
Ep. 6 – What Defines You
There’s a lie floating around running culture that you have to hit a certain pace to call yourself a runner. I’m calling it what it is. It’s not true. I break down what actually makes you a runner (hint, it’s not your pace) and why it took me years to call myself an athlete even after I’d run marathons.
Ep. 5 – You deserve to do this with support
I share the story of how I found my local running group, ORRRC, before I ever ran my first race, and what it felt like to meet a group of strangers who welcomed me like I belonged. Because I did, and so do you.
Ep. 4 – Make Your Training Plan Fit Your Life
Most running plans fail not because you lack discipline, but because they were never built for your life. Episode 4 of Stronger Than the Struggle breaks down how to flip that, starting with 3 honest questions.
BONUS – Oinked For Life. 10 Years at The Flying Pig
10 years ago, I showed up to the Flying Pig Marathon because of a mascot. This year I went back to mark that anniversary with the 3-Way with Extra Cheese and came home without the finish I planned. Sometimes the most coaching thing you can do is stop.
Ep. 3 – Running for Mental Health. Why It Works and How to Start.
Most people who need movement the most are the least likely to feel like doing it. In this episode, I break down the real science behind why running works for stress, anxiety, and depression and give you a simple, honest way to take your first step, even when everything in you is resisting. Because motivation doesn’t come before the run. It comes after.
Ep. 2 – Why Most Running Plans Fail Real People (And What to Do Instead)
In this episode, I break down why traditional running plans were never built for real people, and what a different approach actually looks like. Drawing from my own journey of finding purpose through running in one of the hardest seasons of my life, I walk through the five pillars that form the foundation of RunRev Coaching, including Faith, Mental Health, Community, Mindset, and Race Readiness. Each one is distinct. All five are connected. Together, they build the kind of athlete that finishes what they start.
Ep. 1 – My Running Story. How Faith and Running Helped Me Survive Grief and Depression
I share the story behind RunRev Coaching. How losing my mother to breast cancer in 2011 sent me into a deep depression, and how one 5K became the first step toward healing. This is the origin story of a faith-based endurance running coach who refused to let grief have the final word.
