30 Seconds to Change: Robyn Godfrey's Marathon Transformation

💭 Episode Description:

This one’s for the late bloomers, the comeback queens, and anyone standing at their own starting line. In this powerful episode, Jess sits down with Robyn Godfrey, author, RCA-certified running coach, speaker, and six-time World Marathon Majors finisher, who proves it’s never too late to rewrite your story, one step at a time.

At 47, Robyn went from midlife party girl to marathoner, starting with a single 30-second jog on a treadmill (yes, hungover). That moment became the catalyst for a total life transformation- mentally, physically, and spiritually. From leaving corporate America to coaching runners and mentoring girls, Robyn's story is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and finding purpose in motion.

We talk running, healing, coaching, courage, and why chasing your joy might just save your life.

• Mental resilience is a muscle; running builds it one mile at a time.
• You’re allowed to chase what fills your cup- and leave what doesn’t.
