About this episode
Back by popular request, Amelia Boone joins the podcast for her 4th appearance! Today, Amelia describes herself as an emo teenager trapped in a 40-year old’s body, and is totally cool with that! Beyond that, Amelia says she is finally becoming and making peace with herself, as a whole human outside of athletics. She is a mental health and eating disorder advocate, who shares openly about her struggles and what she has learned along the way.
In this episode we talk about:
- strategies for dealing with running and life struggles
- finding meaning and purpose outside of athletics
- cold plunges
- creating communities that haven’t existed before: the Golden Girls
- running longevity: maintaining a love of running through injuries and aging
