About this episode
Kelly Hayley shares insights on running marathons and building community while embracing discomfort and personal growth.
Kelly Hayley has finished 100+ marathons, all while building a community that refuses to leave anyone behind. In this episode, we unpack what it means to become something—not just “try” it—by embracing discomfort, choosing strategy over ego (hello, run–walk), and building the stamina to keep showing up both at mile 20 and at work. Kelly shares practical wisdom on training plans, rest as a requirement (not an afterthought), leading teams through hard things, why community and relationships are everything, and how identity is forged by doing. Plus: the wildest race stories ever, along with a reminder that confidence is earned one mile at a time. Listen in if you’re ready to step fully into who you want to become.
