Permission to call yourself a runner no matter if you're just starting out with running or if you've been running for years and still don't feel like you're a real runner. Seriously. You are.

2.5 years ago, I felt really crappy about life. I had just quit my teaching job. I have a BA and MA in teaching, invested thousands and thousands of dollars, and I just completely left the career. I was at a job where I worked 50+ hours a week making outbound calls to help people troubleshoot tech stuff I didn't understand. And my 31st birthday was around the corner. I didn't feel all that much better about 31 from 30. I needed something for me. So I started running.     It changed my life. It can change yours too.     -------------------------------   Apply for 1 on 1 Coaching with Jaclyn: http://www.imperfecteating.com FB: https://www.facebook.com/jaclyn.ricchio IG: https://www.instagram.com/jaclynricchio/ Blog: www.jaclynricchio.com

In this episode, I talk about getting over caring what other people think of you. It's hard. It's a process. It is never perfect, but there is hope. Turns out we can learn to be confident and not worry about what people are saying about our bodies, our running form, our clothes, our pace, our mileage... and the list goes on. As a former worry-wart AND negative Nancy, I am here to tell you that you can be a kind Karen while you are running and find other caring Catherines too.  No freal, you can learn to stop worrying about other people without being an Olympic athlete/best of the best runners. xoxo   ----------------------------- Hi!!
