A former collegiate athlete turned wife, mom, marathoner, ultra runner, and coach. I didn’t restart running after collegiate athletics to win races. I started running to find myself again.

I became a mom with a never-ending to-do list, zero energy, and a body I barely recognized. Somewhere in between diaper changes, late-night feedings, and chasing life’s expectations, I had lost myself.

One morning, tired, frustrated, and wearing mismatched socks, I laced up my old sneaks and went for a walk. That walk turned into a slow jog. That jog turned into a daily ritual. And the ritual? It turned into a lifeline.

Running became my therapy, my reset button, my proof that I was still strong.

It wasn’t always pretty, and still isn’t. There are tears, setbacks, and moments where I want to quit. But mile by mile, I am reclaiming my confidence, my health, and my joy.

Now, as a certified run coach and founder of PowHERful Pace Running, I help other women do the same- find strength, freedom, and community through movement.

Whether you are a busy mom, a woman starting over, or someone who just wants to feel powerful in her own skin again, this space is for you!

You don’t have to fast. You don’t have to “look like a runner” (whatever that BS means). You just have to start.

Let’s take that first together!
