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:

  • National Weight Control Registry

  • How eating breakfast gives you a routine

  • What type of diet encourages you to eat breakfast and which one doesn’t
