Today’s episode features three incredible ladies who all have speaking roles at The Run Retreat, an inaugural women’s event that will be taking place in beautiful Hecla Provincial Park, 2 hours north of Winnipeg, MB, from June 7-9, 2024. Three-time Inspired Soles guest Sasha Gollish is our keynote speaker and in addition to being an elite Canadian runner, she is also the Director of Community Engagement at the University of Toronto’s Mental Health & Physical Activities Research Centre. A lover of moving her body in nature, Sasha brings the fun to everything she does and welcomes every level of runner – including the run-curious folks! – to show up as their authentic selves.Obstetrician Gynecologist Dr. Georgia Lefas joins as our women’s health expert and invites us to lean into our intuition and see it as somewhat of a superpower. A marathon runner with a passion for giving back to her community, Georgia hopes to provide women with more language and a safe space to advocate for themselves.Jamie Donaldson is a pelvic floor physiotherapist practicing in Winnipeg, MB. She is a huge proponent of empowering women to safely move their bodies, and she’s currently taking her own advice as she gets back into running herself.Each of these women got a full body hell yes when they were asked by The Run Retreat’s founder, Robyn Penner, to be involved. Robyn was on our show back in the spring of 2023 if you want to learn more about her and hear what inspired her to create this awesome event for women and those who identify as women.
