Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesay! On the podcast this week is Mirna Valerio, aka The Mirnavator. Mirna is an ultramarathon runner, full-time adventurer, author, former educator, mom, and so kind, full of love and joy, and all around inspiration.
Mirna is a force of nature and I’m so excited and grateful to be able to bring you her story, her voice, and her mission of empowerment, body positivity, and adventure. On this week’s episode we chat about Mirna’s love for running and adventure, why curiosity is an essential part of our growth, pushing past fear, and the epic race she just completed. We chat about the inspiration behind her blog, Fat Girl Running, the REI Documentary, and Mirna opens up about living her life publicly and how her vulnerability has inspired others to push outside of their comfort zones and choose adventure. We also chat about redefining athleticism, dealing with negative comments, why it’s so important to embrace the body we’re in, the challenges she’s taking on next, and SO much more!

Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday! This week's episode is a SOLO episode and I'm chatting all about showing up and being transparent. In order to talk about showing up - when it's hard, when it's difficult, when it's the last thing we want to do - we have to first talk about transparency.
No one always has it together and no one always knows what we're doing. The truth is - we're faking it until we make it and that's okay. When life gets tough, it's easy to look at someone else and what they're doing and say "ugh! Why is it so easy for them?! Why is life unfolding so effortlessly for them!?"
When you're having a hard time, and you're looking at someone else, and you're thinking that it's flawless and beautiful and its all come easy to them - look at where you're at and how much you're putting into your dream. Look at where you're at and how much work you're putting into manifesting the reality that you want for yourself, because it's the same for them too.
A lot of things don't come easy, and that's okay - they're not supposed to. Because as you're working towards your goals and dreams, you're shaping and molding yourself into becoming the person that you're meant and supposed to be at the moment that those dreams and realities actualize.

SURPRISE!! We've got a bonus episode this week (super spontaneous by the way).

This week's episode is a SOLO episode and I'm chatting all about adulting, why we need to dream (and dream big!), the three big fears that dominate my inner dialogue, and why it's time to call BS on the excuses that we make for ourselves that allow us to stay in fear . . . and knock it off. (Like, ASAP)
I also share what's been going on in my life, what's new in the world of #SeekTheJoy, and so much more!
