Whether you’re training for your next race, coming back from an injury, or just lacing up your running shoes for the first time — this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you stay strong, healthy, and consistent as a runner.
In this episode of Finding Fortitude, I sat down with physiotherapist and running coach, Emma Vaillancourt, to dive into all things running injuries and recovery. Emma shares her perspective as both a clinician and an athlete, breaking down common myths and helping runners understand how to train smarter and return to running safely after injury.
Together, we explore:
- The most common running injuries and why they happen
- “Niggles” vs. injuries (and when to take it seriously)
- How to tell if you’re ready to return to running after injury
- Key risk factors that increase your chance of getting hurt
- And so much more!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
