Morning Mantra

Morning Mantra

Coach Mary-Katherine (MK) Fleming is an avid marathoner and run coach. A firm believer in mantras and the power of YET, she is excited to share her confidence in you, her unbridled optimism, and her faith in your potential. Anyone can be coached, but it takes a special person to be #coachedandloved and #winningatlife. Because we are never really talking about running, are we? Produced 6 days per week, the Morning Mantra is about managing all of the stress and conflict that can interfere with your best-laid (training!) plans, centered around one strategy MK has been practicing consistently since 1998: mantras. Mantras are short situation-specific phrases you prepare in advance to keep you focused and centered while you move through that event. Are you facing a situation? Could you use a mantra to help you move through it? Email info@coachedandloved.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://anchor.fm/coachmk/support

To many, Ruth Bader Ginsberg was a symbol of endurance, a public servant we elevated to celebrity status during a period when it felt impossible to find anything or anyone to believe in.

She would want us to defend it,...

One of Coach MK's Runners posted the following comment in one of the Facebook groups: "Got Dumped. Feel like crap." That comment warrants a response, and Coach MK reminds us that the only parts of us that actually break during breakups, are parts that can be fixed. (She then tells us how her last breakup led her directly to her husband; they celebrate their 9th wedding anniversary this coming Wednesday).

Dr. Coach Sarah kicks off some Shady Italian Lessons by breaking down how SUPER polite and SUPER formal speech can be anything but polite....and may be the perfect response to any uncomfortable situation!

“Please excuse me” in the informal - “Scusami” feels like a supplication, a looking someone in the eye and asking for grace, while the formal “Mi scusi” can either be exceedingly polite or a TOTAL sorry-not-sorry."

We hate the messaging in the fitness industry so much, we put ourselves in the mental health category. Angered by a headline about the dangers of being an overweight runner, Coach MK spit this fiery mantra into her mic before penning her own response: the most dangerous aspect of being overweight or a runner are the lies we’ve held as truths about our own bodies and what they say about us.
