When Dana Wiker became a mom, she became someone new.

Someone whose only purpose in life seemed to be taking care of another human being—losing the part of herself that made her, her.

Feeling isolated in her postpartum journey, she set out to find herself again by training for the Chicago Marathon.

And now, she's on a journey to ask other mother runners about the impact running has had on them and how they navigated postpartum.

In Mother Runner, host Dana Wiker talks with mothers about postpartum identity, the messy and isolating realities of early motherhood, and the ways we can start to discover ourselves again through running.

You don’t have to be a runner to listen. You just have to be a mom figuring it out—one step at a time.

Episodes coming soon!
