When Natalie finished with college soccer, she needed something to stay active and provide a competitive outlet. On a whim she ran a local 5k mud run and placed 2nd female overall. From there, she was hooked. Natalie PR’d every marathon she ran over a four year period (with a best time of 3:11) before the 2019 Boston Marathon. On that day, however, her dream race became a nightmare. In this episode she details how she dealt with that disappointment, how she overcame an eating disorder that exacerbated a pre-existing heart condition causing her to heart surgery, and how she uses her own experiences to help influence others as an active club soccer coach in southern California.
