I am obsessed with the busy-bee lifestyle, the place I  live, the people I’ve met, the places to run, the food to eat, the areas to explore.. I love it all. When I was first moving to the city a few months ago I was frustrated that I could not find a good honest podcast episode that talked about all...

EP11- On Running Slower Than Before In my four years of college I have never raced faster than my high school PRs. A large reason for this has been my battles with injury: 4 bone injuries and two major surgeries. Racing again after time away (to heal) yields a mixture of emotions - happiness and gratitude to be competing but doubt/frustration that running feels hard/you’re not running the way you...

EP10- My College Bucket List Something you should all know about me is that I'm an extremely reflective + nostalgic person. I've kept journals, diaries, and bucket lists since I was five years old. When COVID ended my senior year of high school early, I needed something positive to focus on to distract me from all the chaos and uncertainty in the world. In April of 2020, I wrote a five page colleg...

EP5- On Dating the Dream Boy … If you follow me on Instagram chances are you know who my boyfriend Luke is.
