If you are a mother who runs, then this podcast is for you! Whitney is so good at asking thought-provoking questions to all of her guests. I have learned so much from the experts in the field and everyday runners just like me. I’m so grateful they choose to share their love, knowledge, and passion for running in such a digestible way. It’s a great listen while out on a run or even while doing chores around the house. Highly recommend!

Caitlyn Germain · Aug 2026

Whitney is an incredible host who asks thoughtful questions and makes every conversation feel authentic and engaging. She’s the kind of person you want to grab coffee with, go for a run with, and keep talking to long after the conversation ends. Her warmth and genuine curiosity put both her guests and listeners at ease. As a very talented runner & mom herself, she brings a relatable perspective to every conversation with moms and athletes. I always come away from her podcasts feeling inspired. Highly recommend! 🤩

Carrie - Bionic Runner Babe · Jul 2026

If you are a mom who runs or you love women’s running this is THE podcast for you. Whitney’s former professional TV journalist skills are on full display in the very best way. Whitney really listens to her guests and centers the show about their story. She is thoughtful, funny, kind and makes the show meaningful, informative and joyful! Not only is she an excellent host who features top notch guests, Whitney is a highly accomplished, competitive athlete and coach herself who can relate to all aspects of running and training. I love her show and if it’s not at the top of your queue, then it should be. ❤️
