    Fiona Marshall opens up in a way most people never do. From trauma and addiction… to losing herself completely… to rebuilding from the inside out. But what makes Fiona different isn’t just fitness. nIt’s how she uses it. As a certified trainer working out of places like Squatch Frontier Fitness, Fiona has built a reputation in the Austin community for creating a space that’s not just about getting stronger physically… but mentally and emotionally too. Her message is simple, but powerful: You don’t just train your body… you reconnect with yourself. Through movement, breath, discipline, and consistency… she’s found a way to ground herself, rebuild her identity, and help others do the same. And if you’ve ever met her, you know exactly what she brings: The energy. The presence. The high fives. The smile that makes people feel seen. But behind that is a story of pain, resilience, and choosing to show up anyway. This episode is about what it really looks like to lose yourself… and the work it takes to find your way back. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, stuck, or like you’re starting over… This one will hit. 👇 Tap in. Watch the full episode. I Am Redemption is where people come when life hits. Addiction. Loss. Rock bottom. Rebuilding. We are what comes after. Built different by pain, Powered different by purpose Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

    The Real Reason People Run | Austin Marathon Expo Stories | I Am Redemption | Shawn Livingston

    What makes someone run 26.2 miles? At the Austin Marathon Expo, we sat down with runners from all walks of life and asked one simple question: Why do you run? The answers were deeper than we expected For some, running is discipline, for others, it’s healing, purpose, community, or even survival. This is what I Am Redemption is all about, real people, real stories, and the power of turning pain into purpose I Am Redemption was honored to be selected as an official nonprofit partner of the Austin Marathon This year, we had 12 runners take on their first ever half and full marathons, representing something bigger than themselves We also showed up in a major way on race day, with over 75 volunteers at the Mile 1 water station on Congress Avenue, overlooking the Texas State Capitol From the expo to the course, this wasn’t just about running It was about community It was about showing people what’s possible It was about building something bigger than ourselves I Am Redemption is more than a podcast. It’s a movement focused on recovery, fitness, purpose, and community We are continuing to grow, show up, and impact lives both online and in the real world Hosted on Ausha.
