Building Strength and Consistency To Run 48.6 Miles with Kassidy Owen

Hello Kettlebell queen! In this episode, I'm sitting down with Kassidy Owen, a badass who ran 48.6 miles in four days, to talk about the mental game of pushing through hard things—in fitness and in life.

What we're diving into:

✨ Kassidy's insane Dopey Challenge at Disney (5K, 10K, half, FULL marathon in 4 days)

✨ The mindset that kept her going through 48.6 miles

✨ Why keeping promises to yourself changes EVERYTHING

✨ The "pain cave" and how to survive it (spoiler: affirmations + self-talk)

✨ Words create worlds: music, screensavers, and verbal affirmations that work

✨ How accomplishing fitness goals creates a ripple effect in your entire life

✨ The difference between rigid consistency and flexible discipline

✨ Why food is both fuel AND memories (finding the balance)

✨ Social media toxicity: skinny talk, misinformation, and choosing your influences carefully

✨ Adjusting your routine without losing your edge

The truth bomb: Keeping promises to yourself teaches you that you're capable of anything. When you show up for a 23-mile run alone with no one cheering, you prove to yourself you can do hard things—and that confidence explodes into every other area of your life.

We're sharing raw stories about crying at mile 22, talking yourself through the pain cave, why hiring a coach is the best investment you'll ever make, and how fitness goals aren't just about aesthetics—they're about building unshakeable confidence. Plus the uncomfortable truth about social media fitness culture and why you need performance goals, not just aesthetic ones. If you need motivation to keep showing up for yourself, this episode is for YOU.
