#68: Why not me? With Stephanie Dunlap
LISTEN NOW
Why not me?
This was a question that our guest, Stephanie, asked herself while standing on the sidelines watching friends run. Stephanie is a wife, mom, teacher, and a wonderful friend. She went from cheering on the sidelines to training for her first marathon back in 2011. She has gone on to run 22 full marathons, running, coaching, leading, and cheering on thousands of women with her positivity. Today we get to hear Stephanie’s story of finding courage, chasing her dreams, and proudly running strong in life. If you are on the edge of stepping outside of your comfort zone, I hope this episode helps you to be brave and take your next right step.
