Miscellaneous
Today, I want to introduce you to another wonderful human being whose story is as powerful as it is inspirational. Lisa DeLugo is a certified running coach, nutrition coach, and host of her own podcast, ‘Not Another Mother Runner’. She has a B.S in Biology, an M.A. in Counselling and Community Psychology, and, after overcoming a difficult divorce and other obstacles as a single mom, she now combines her education and life lessons to share them and inspire, motivate and empower other women. In our very real and raw conversation, we begin by looking at how Lisa has managed through the past year and how she’s doing today, and then we delve deeply into her story. She walks us through the challenges experienced in her marriage and divorce as well as the role that running played and continues to play in her life. We also explore her desire to feel everything and learn from it, coming to terms with being on her own, bringing her therapy background into her coaching, and her current perspective on relationships. Lisa also movingly shares what she feels her daughter sees in her, and finishes by letting us know what she is up to these days. As you will quickly learn, Lisa DeLugo is a true badass whose gift of ‘empowering women through fitness and health and everything in between’ is undeniable, and is clearly on full display here today.

Like that kind of crying where your eyes are swollen and you feel like death…I wanted to die.” “There's so many unwritten rules…about what it should look like in relationships.” “Running is meditation.” “I have my therapist on speed dial when I need her.” “I am alone, happily so, and I'm okay with being alone.” “I am not afraid to die alone. I'm not afraid because I'm okay.” “Because she came from me, she has that strength as well.” “I never want any woman to feel like she's alone.” Show Links: Kelly’s homepage - http://www.kellytravis.net Not Another Mother Runner Homepage Not Another Mother Runner Instagram Not Another Mother Runner Podcast
