On this Boston Marathon Monday I couldn't think of a better episode to air. Three runners. Countless miles. One shared obsession.

Running enthusiasts and fellow running partners and RTB Teammates Matt Persell and Ron Gallant join Shaina to talk about all things running...but then they realized it would take much longer than an hour to do that so consider this part one :)

In this episode, we dive into the highs and lows of running—from chasing personal bests to our favorite (and least favorite) race memories. We swap tips on training, staying motivated, and how to pick the perfect pair of sneakers. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or just lacing up for your first 5K, join us for stories, laughs, and plenty of runner real talk.

In this episode, Shaina gets real about what it means to take back your mornings, your energy, and your sense of self. She dives into the journey of joining the 5AM club—not as some productivity flex, but as a way to create space for you before the world wakes up. Whether you’re trying to fit fitness into your chaotic life, wrestling with the guilt of doing something just for yourself, or figuring out how to juggle kids, career, and self-care without dropping the ball—you’re not alone. Shaina talks through how to let life shift and shift with it, how to give yourself grace, and how to stay strong (physically and emotionally) in all the roles you play.

Because showing up for yourself? That’s not selfish. That’s power.

A natural segway from last weeks episode, in this powerful episode I sit down with Amanda Lowden, a therapist and the founder of Hope & Thyme Holistic Healing and Psychotherapy, to discuss the importance of mental health and wellness.

Amanda opens up about how trauma affects our lives and how changing the narrative around therapy can help break down the stigma. Together, we explore when it’s the right time to seek therapy, the value of holistic approaches to healing, and why taking care of our mental health is just as important as our physical health.

Tune in to hear insights on how to begin the journey toward healing and well-being. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to reclaim their mental health and find a path toward a more balanced life.
