Stronger Than The Struggle

Conversations on Running, Faith, Mental Health, and Resilience

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.

This podcast is for adults navigating the intersection of faith, mental health, and movement; especially when life has made showing up feel impossible.

Through solo teachings, honest conversations, and guided reflections, you’ll find support without hustle culture, shame, or empty platitudes.

Struggle is not a spiritual failure.
And you are allowed to move at your own pace.

You’re stronger than the struggle. Let’s prove it together.
