Sarah and Amanda have a conversation with Ashlee Lawson Green, co-founder of RUNGRL, a digital media and event platform for Black women focused on running and wellness. A new, first-time mom and a certified running coach, Ashlee shares: -a positive-yet-realistic perspective about adjusting to a post-partum body; -the mission and goals of RUNGRL, including inspiration, information, and celebration;  -the importance of creating space for various runners;  -insight on increasing inclusivity and decreasing “othering” in the running community; and, -ways to overcome race day or long run anxiety. In the intro, Sarah details how a local Portland mother runner nudged her out the door on a recent snowy Saturday. Ashlee (with her 4-month-baby on her lap!) joins in at 14:17.
