In this episode, we sit down with Bri Sullivan, ultra runner and founder of Wild Women Running, to explore what it means to tinker—with identity, motivation, and the many moving parts of life as an endurance athlete. Bri chats about the highs and lows of performance culture and the ever-present challenge of burnout.

But this isn’t just a story about running. It’s about stepping back, picking up a piece of clay, and learning how to reshape your self-worth outside of metrics, pace, and finish lines. Bri shares how creative hobbies like pottery became vital in helping her rediscover joy, and why self-compassion, community and celebrating small wins are essential.

Whether you're a seasoned ultra runner or simply someone navigating your own path through passion and pressure, this conversation will remind you that growth doesn't always look like grinding.
