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.

In this episode, I sit down with Chris DaVeiga, a seasoned expert with 17 years of experience in the fitness and boxing industry who walks the walk and talks the talk. As the proud owner of LFG Fitness in Salem, NH, Chris has dedicated his life to helping others achieve their fitness goals while balancing the demands of being a successful business owner and raising a son. We also discuss LFG's new non-profit Champions of Change and more on how you can get involved!

Join us as Chris shares his journey, from his early days in the fitness world to the challenges and rewards of running a thriving business. He offers invaluable insights on health, wellness, and fitness, and dives deep into the principles that have guided his career. Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a fitness enthusiast, or someone looking to make positive changes in your health, this episode is packed with wisdom, motivation, and practical advice.

Don’t miss out on this inspiring conversation with a true industry veteran and amazing human!

My post-laringytis voice aside :) a fun, lighthearted epsiode with my sister Alyssa, as we reminisce,discuss the trials and tribulations of growing up, our journey to being a mom of teens, life in general, stories from our childhood, and what she considers to be elevating her every day. You will definitely get a giggle or three out of this one. And it might make you miss your siblings/family - so call them! or hug them for me because she's too far away for me to hug

Welcome to Episode 1 - It's Happening!! A little about what Elevate Your Every Day will look like, what it means to me, and a little about me as well :)

Oh hey! It's been a while!!

In this VERY homegrown and raw "shorty" bonus episode, come along with me and my team "Born to Run 2.0" for Ragnar Race's "Reach the Beach" (RTB) relay race. What a challenging and fun experience that I have been fortunate enough to participate in for several years. Here's a little insider scoop of our sprint team this year.

This one is silly but also special to me for a few reasons, one of them being that it was my first road race back in 2 years, and for me and all that I have gone through in those two years, that's a pretty big deal and it couldn't be more fitting for the mission of this podcast.

Also, I believe this was my 7th, not 6th RTB :)

Stay tuned for more episodes coming SOON from Elevate your Everyday <3

In this deeply personal episode, I share stories from the past, most recently my health scare almost 1 year go, and how it lead me on a journey of overcoming trauma, both physically and mentally. I talk about the struggle of dealing with it all and the mental toll it took, while also exploring how I learned to drown out the noise of negativity and focused on healing.

Life isn't always easy, but I've discovered how to turn bad experiences into valueable lessons that shape a stronger, newer version of me. I'll share practical was to stay positive when life feels like it's falling apart, how to rise above the challenges that come your way, and why it's so important to stop looking back and start looking forward.

Let's learn together how to turn setbacks into comebacks, because as we all know, the comeback can be so much greater than the setback.
