About this episode

Bora Ergör interviews Toni McCann about her experiences in running and finding a home in France.

Welcome to a brand new episode of Take Off Your Shoes. My guest today is Toni McCann! After all my conversations, I jot down a few words to remind me of the feeling I had during and after the conversation, which usually allows me to reflect back on it more easily. After this one, I wrote "heartwarming." I am really grateful to Toni for her openness, humbleness, and willingness to share her thoughts and experiences around finding a new home in France, finding the right reasons, her "why" around running and chasing goals, and how she has dealt with and is still dealing with external pressures. We talked about letting go of perfection while still striving for excellence, finding joy and excitement in the sport, and what it means to feel at home somewhere you chose to grow roots. This was the type of conversation that made me feel so incredibly grateful that I get to do this. I was smiling and laughing throughout, and later on just kept feeling this warmth, for which I am truly thankful. Toni, thank you so much for your openness and for sharing this conversation with me. I hope you all enjoy listening. You can now watch the episode on YouTube Follow Toni on…
