Running Stronger After Baby: Annie Kay’s Story of Healing & Hustle

This week, I’m joined by runner, mom, and Olympic Trials hopeful Annie Kay for a powerful conversation about how her relationship with running has evolved through motherhood, eating disorder recovery, and chasing big goals.

Annie opens up about her experience with eating disorder recovery, how she navigated postpartum training while breastfeeding, and what it really looks like to juggle elite running ambitions with life as a new mom. Whether you're building back post-baby or just trying to find joy in the run again, this episode is full of real talk, inspiration, and tangible takeaways.

💬 We talk about:

• Finding joy in running again—without the pressure
  
• Fueling and training through postpartum and breastfeeding
  
• Healing your relationship with food and body as an athlete
  
• What it takes to chase OTQ dreams as a mom
  
• The power of community, support, and self-compassion
  
  

This one’s for every woman who's ever wondered if she can still go big after baby—spoiler: you absolutely can. 👟💪
