Episode Synopsis

Lace up with Steph for her reflections and real talk on running—one constant that’s carried her through many seasons of womanhood, writing, and rediscovery. With her 40th birthday later this week and Boston Marathon dreams on the brain, Steph delves into what it means to call herself a runner (and why it’s taken her this long to say it out loud).Join as she dives into the mental and spiritual side of running—how time on the pavement can quiet anxiety, fuel creativity, and serve as legitimate therapy. Expect thoughts on identity, imposter syndrome, the power of community, and the magic of showing up for yourself one mile at a time.Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner, a once-in-a-blue-moon jogger, or neither—this episode is your permission slip to chase joy, embrace discipline, and find meaning in forward motion.Follow Steph + The Pod:IG: @stephanienmackIG: @underlinethatpodToday’s Underlines:Honey Stinger WafflesJelly Belly Sport BeansGU Energy GelBrooks Ghost 3 MaxCalifornia International MarathonBoston Qualifying Times
