For the Season 2 finale of Finding Fortitude, I brought back a very special guest—my now-husband, Joe! We took a trip down memory lane and reflected on our first year and a half of marriage, shared some big life updates, and answered listener questions. We also busted some rehab and fitness myths, shared a few hot takes, and wrapped up with some fun rapid-fire questions and a look toward the future.

Tune in to hear about:

• Our Yosemite wedding (AKA the best day ever!)
• Pros and cons of being married to another physical therapist
• How we decide between resting and working out when stressed or tired
• Clinical beliefs we agree and disagree on
• Rehab and fitness myths we wish would disappear
• What’s next for the podcast
• …and more!

Whether you’re training for your next race, coming back from an injury, or just lacing up your running shoes for the first time — this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you stay strong, healthy, and consistent as a runner.

In this episode of Finding Fortitude, I sat down with physiotherapist and running coach, Emma Vaillancourt, to dive into all things running injuries and recovery. Emma shares her perspective as both a clinician and an athlete, breaking down common myths and helping runners understand how to train smarter and return to running safely after injury.

Together, we explore:

• The most common running injuries and why they happen
• “Niggles” vs. injuries (and when to take it seriously)
• How to tell if you’re ready to return to running after injury
• Key risk factors that increase your chance of getting hurt
• And so much more!

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just getting started, this episode will help you better understand your body, trust the process, and run with confidence.

In this episode of Finding Fortitude, I sit down with one of my favorite people — former D1 collegiate softball player and all-around powerhouse, Eva McIntire, to talk about life after sport, setting healthy boundaries, and "work-life balance" (if that's even a real thing).

You'll hear about:

• Eva's journey through sport-related injuries and burnout
• The challenging transition out of athletics and into another career
• How the pandemic pushed Eva to pivot and redefine her path
• Lessons on saying no and setting boundaries to prioritize well-being and create a life that aligns with personal values
• Why "balance" isn't always the goal
• Re-defining athleticism and finding new passions in life after sport
• And more!

Whether you’re a former athlete or simply someone trying to juggle ambition with self-care, Eva’s insights will leave you feeling seen and inspired.
