About this episode

A conversation about identity, resilience, and rebuilding after life changes, featuring Lizzy Fowler's journey through trauma and ultrarunning.

This week, Corrine sits down with Lizzy Fowler for a conversation about identity, resilience, and rebuilding after life splits into "before" and "after." They talk about Lizzy’s traumatic brain injury in college, the long process of learning to live in a body and brain that felt unfamiliar, and how ultrarunning became a way to test her edges, find flow, and begin trusting herself again. The two also dig into trauma and sexual assault Why she chose to share her story and work with Take Back the Night And how taking on the John Muir Trail became about far more than sport It’s a conversation about disruption, self-discovery, and the versions of ourselves we become when everything changes.
