I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. In honor of the holidays, we are doing this week's episode a little bit differently (hence the special Friday air date)…I have on the show Lindsey Hein, host of the ever popular running podcast I’ll Have Another. And I’m on Lindsey’s show—in a rare dual episode—because we thought it would fun to just come on and chat.

This episode is entirely unscripted. Some topics we end up chatting about:

-the challenge of adding big goals but not letting it subtract from our mom role

-current social media trends that irk us

-our hopes and dreams for 2026, and

-how love means being inconvenienced for other people.

The last one hits hard as I talked about our 16-year-old pup Riley, and the time it takes to care for her, and then Riley left us a few days later.

We hope our conversation keeps you company and entertained. Please enjoy my conversation with Lindsey Hein and thanks for being here!

Whitney Heins is a mom of 2, a lifelong runner, a VDOT-certified running coach for moms who run, and founder of the resource, themotherrunners.com. When training for her first marathon as a mom, she found a dearth of information related to running and motherhood. She also felt extremely isolated as a new mom. As a former TV journalist and a freelance writer she decided to use her skills to fill the void with an online resource and community, called The Mother Runners. Whitney also recognized a need for run coaches who understood the demands of motherhood, so she also became a running coach—unearthing a passion for helping moms reap the rewards and empowerment of running. Coming out of a long injury cycle, she ran a 2:54 marathon and 1:20 half marathon in her 40s. She lives in Knoxville, TN with her husband, two kids, and three dogs.
