  Ep: 112: Why Podcasts Have Been My Constant for Nearly a Decade (Celebrating 2 years of my own podcast!)

  Aug 21, 202617 min

  This week marks 2 years of The Fill Up to Spill Out Podcast! And for this anniversary episode, I’m talking about something that actually became part of my life long before I ever started a podcast of my own: my love of podcasts. For nearly a decade, podcasts have kept me company through running, driving, cleaning, walking the dog, and all those ordinary—and sometimes lonely—moments of motherhood and midlife. They’ve helped me learn, laugh, grow, feel connected, and remind me that I’m not the only one figuring things out. And now, for the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of creating a little corner of that podcast world myself. I’m sharing why I started The Fill Up to Spill Out Podcast, what these 112 episodes have taught me, why I keep showing up even when it feels hard, and why I believe we don’t have to be wildly successful at something for it to be worth doing. If this podcast has ever kept you company on a run, in the car, while folding laundry, or somewhere in between, thank you. I’m so grateful you’re here—and I hope we’re just getting started. ❤️ Keep sowing, planting, learning, and growing. Beautiful things take time. Now press play and come keep me company for a little while. ⭐Join my FREE Fill up to Spill out fitness community ⁠https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc74TcoQhCJL58jZKz2VOjtYzr7eJaIXNxCSAL17sJ8A05gFA/viewform?usp=sf_link⁠

  Ep: 111: A real talk episode about summer and back to school as a Senior Mom

  Aug 14, 202617 min

  Summer flew by—and somehow, here we are getting ready for a new school year with a senior and a sophomore! In this real-talk episode, I’m sharing a little summer catch-up: busy schedules, sports, travel, big milestones, a little heartbreak, and the bittersweet reality of watching our kids grow up. From summer track and a trip to New Balance Nationals to a much-needed getaway to Jackson Hole, senior photos, painting the senior parking spot, and getting ready for all the “lasts” that come with senior year, this summer has been full. And as we head back to school, I’m sharing a reminder for every mom with a senior: choose to notice it. Be present. Slow down. Take the pictures. Put down your phone. Savor the moments. Senior year is about letting go as our kids become adults—and it’s okay for it to feel both exciting and heartbreaking. Just like marathon training, it’s not only about the finish line. It’s about all the miles it took to get there. Every mile matters. So this year, let’s savor the season and look back on graduation day knowing we weren’t perfect, but we were present.

  Ep: 110: Summer Growth Series – Grace Not Perfection

  Aug 7, 202613 min

  As we wrap up our Summer Growth Series, we’re ending with one of my all-time favorite books: Grace Not Perfection by Emily Ley. With a new school year around the corner and busy routines returning, this conversation is a reminder that we don’t have to do everything perfectly to live a meaningful life. We talk about letting go of unrealistic expectations, creating margin, simplifying our schedules, and making time to fill our own cups so we can better care for the people we love. In this episode, we discuss: Why grace will always take you farther than perfection. The invisible mental load so many women and moms carry. How to create more margin in your calendar and your life. The connection between simplicity, joy, and peace. Practical habits like planning, meal prep, and Sunday resets that reduce stress. Why embracing the season you’re in is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. As we close out this summer series, I hope you’ll be encouraged to stop chasing perfection and start choosing grace, gratitude, and the things that truly matter. If you’ve enjoyed the Summer Growth Series, I’d love for you to rate and review the podcast and share your favorite episode with a friend. Thank you for spending your summer with me, and I’ll see you next week as we kick off our fall season with more conversations about running, fitness, and filling your own cup.

  Ep: 109: Summer Growth Series – The Lazy Genius Way

  Jul 31, 202632 min

  As we head into the busy back-to-school season, it’s the perfect time to rethink how we’re spending our time and energy. This week, we’re diving into The Lazy Genius Way by Kendra Adachi and exploring how her 13 practical principles can help us simplify life, reduce stress, and focus on what truly matters. Using running as an example, I’ll walk through each Lazy Genius principle—from deciding once and starting small to scheduling rest and being kind to yourself—and show how these ideas can make your routines feel lighter and more sustainable. Whether your goal is running, strength training, managing your home, or simply surviving a busy season, these principles can help you build systems that work for your real life. In this episode, we’ll talk about: ● Why you should be a genius about what matters and lazy about what doesn’t ● Practical ways to simplify your running and fitness routines ● How to create habits that fit your current season of life ● Building systems that reduce decision fatigue ● Letting go of perfection and embracing “good enough” If you’ve been feeling stretched too thin, this episode is a reminder that every “yes” requires a “no,” and that choosing what deserves your best energy is one of the healthiest things you can do. Thanks for listening, and be sure to join me next week as we wrap up our Summer Growth Series with another favorite book, Grace, Not Perfection .

  Ep: Summer Growth Series: Featuring The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins

  Jul 24, 202610 min

  Welcome back to the Summer Growth Series! This week we’re diving into one of the simplest, yet most powerful books I’ve ever read: The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins. If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I’ll start tomorrow,” “I’m too tired,” or “I just don’t feel motivated,” this episode is for you. We talk about why motivation isn’t what helps us achieve our goals—taking action is. Sometimes all it takes is counting backwards… 5-4-3-2-1… GO! In this episode, you’ll learn: ● Why hesitation gives your brain time to talk you out of your goals. ● Five life-changing lessons from The 5 Second Rule . ● How confidence is built through action—not before it. ● Why the small decisions you make every day shape your future. ● Practical ways to use the 5-second rule in your workouts, career, motherhood, and everyday life. Whether you’re trying to build healthier habits, train for a race, wake up earlier, or finally start that dream you’ve been putting off, this episode will encourage you to stop waiting until you “feel ready” and simply take the first step. Remember: Your goals aren’t achieved through motivation—they’re achieved through the tiny moments when you choose action over hesitation, again and again. So… 5…4…3…2…1… GO!
