Interview on the C Tolle Run Podcast with Carrie Tollefson.

It was such an honor to join Olympic runner Carrie Tollefson on the C Tolle Run podcast. Carrie has spent years inspiring runners of all levels, so it was a joy to sit down with her and talk about my own running journey, my friendship and collaboration with Shalane Flanagan, the story behind Superhero Muffins, and how real food has shaped both my career and my life. I'm so grateful to Carrie for creating a space where conversations about running, nutrition, entrepreneurship, and motherhood can all come together, and I hope this episode leaves you feeling inspired to nourish yourself and chase what lights you up.
