Back by popular request, Amelia Boone joins the podcast for her 4th appearance! Today, Amelia describes herself as an emo teenager trapped in a 40-year old’s body, and is totally cool with that! Beyond that, Amelia says she is finally becoming and making peace with herself, as a whole human outside of athletics. She is a mental health and eating disorder advocate, who shares openly about her struggles and what she has learned along the way.
In this episode we talk about:
-strategies for dealing with running and life struggles
-finding meaning and purpose outside of athletics
-cold plunges 
-creating communities that haven’t existed before: the Golden Girls
