Katie Steele sits down to talk about an Instagram post that blew our minds: quitting the team at University of Oregon, being connected with a running coach and Doctor that helped her land on her feet and run somewhere else. A fertility doctor that discovered things weren't treated quite right/illegally and how this has shaped her into the Mental Health Therapist that she is today.
