Katie and Stuart sit down with Kelly Roberts who is the Founder of Badass Lady Gang, a running community created by women for women. This foundation was created to help women find joy in the struggle, providing women of all athletic levels a safe space to have fun and belong. There are some crazy health fads out there and ideas that pop up and grow popular on social media, such as the one where people were pushing the idea that you don’t need much sleep and can be more productive because you’ll have more time, but people weren’t realizing the bad health consequences one can experience when neglecting sleep. Kelly explains bluntly that running is hard and often just isn’t fun, but it’s OK to acknowledge this and just keep moving forward. She has a love/hate relationship with running, but she keeps doing it because she needs it and it gives her fuel for success in her life.
