I’m back with my first solo episode in a couple of months — and there’s been a lot swirling around in my brain.

In this episode, I catch you up on where I’ve been, how I’ve been feeling, and why showing up and speaking openly has felt a little scarier lately.

We’re talking social media, AI, the fear of saying the “wrong” thing, and what happens when it feels like everyone is ready to react, judge, or jump to conclusions.

How do we keep showing up authentically when speaking up feels so...risky?

Have you ever expressed an emotion - something that's heavy on your heart - either in person, via text, or in a voice note, and have been met with....silence?

In this episode, I share a recent experience of this and how my brain spiraled after 24 hrs of silence, and just what sitting in that discomfort revealed to me.

Can't wait to. hear your thoughts on this and if this has happened to you! What was your reaction? What did you learn?

I'm so excited to finally interview someone on the Pod. It's been a while, and I can't think of a more perfect person to introduce to this podcast than Angelise States.

6 time marathon runner, Digital Creator, Fitness Instructor at Studio Verso, Lululemon Ambassador - Ange truly is embodying the phrase "feel the fear and do it anyway".

From her first decision to take up running almost a decade ago, to now, training for her 7th Marathon in Berlin, Ange has a lot of insight to share on how she got to where she is today. And it didn't happen overnight. It was a lot of small (and BIG) decisions & yes's that put her on this path, which makes this interview such a good listen for anyone that's looking to try something new.

You can find Ange on Instagram @angelisestates or teaching classes at Studio Verso.

You can also find her Run Club on Instagram: @mileonerunclub
