61: Melanie Curtis
We’re running around the world with life coach Melanie Curtis who shares with us how her runs in different countries have completely changed her perspective of the sport. We hear intimately (spoiler alert: a new hashtag is created) how a change in mindset can create new opportunities.
The Runner Dad, also known as Matt Orlando, shares his raw emotions of what running means to him. If you’re on the fence about running, or it’s taking a while to get back in to the swing of things, then you’ll want to hear Matt’s story.
Our go-to real-food dietitian, Serena Marie, RD, shares information about whether you need to eat breakfast or not.
During our conversation, Melanie and I discuss:
Getting divorced and what space opened up in her life
What her goal was during her trip around the world
Why she never thought she was a runner
How she walked the walk and talked the talk through looking at limiting beliefs, emotional blocks and talking about fears
Where she got lost on runs and where it took her emotionally
The life-changing run she took where she fell in love with running (there's even a video about this which can be found here!
Her two parting words of wisdom
Matt Orlando and I talk all things:
Raising a family, working full time, being in social media, and running
His running plans
The amazing runners he has been able to connect to because of the blog
At some point every runner took their first step
Serena discusses:

How eating breakfast gives you a routine
What type of diet encourages you to eat breakfast and which one doesn’t
