After one run in 2023 that left me on the floor in the fetal position feeling clammy & nauseous with pelvic pain, I developed the belief of: “Because of my pelvic pain, I can’t run anymore”.


In this solo episode of Beyond the Bleed, I’m sharing how that moment really shaped the way I related to my body AND how training for a half marathon (even though on the day I woke up and was unable to run it - more on that in the episode), helped me rebuild trust, safety, and connection with my body.


In this episode you’ll learn:

  • How pain can create deep-seated fear and distrust in our bodies
  • Why “I can’t” is often a story built from protection
  • What training for a half marathon taught me about compassion, pacing, and body trust


If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, or like it’s betrayed you, this episode is for you.
