In Season 2, Episode 13 of Enduring Minds, I sit down with Lace Coughlin for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on the podcast. Lace is the first woman to join us on this show, and her story of sobriety, identity, and healing through running sets the tone in a powerful way.

Lace shares her six-year sobriety journey, the loneliness that followed quitting alcohol, and how running became more than exercise . During her time in law enforcement, three miles could reset her entire nervous system. She ran for survival and mental health.

We also talk about cultural identity, embracing her Native American heritage, motherhood, and learning to love yourself fully.

This episode explores running and sobriety, women in endurance sports, mental health, and the courage to keep becoming.

If you’re an everyday athlete navigating identity, growth, or healing, this conversation is for you.

🎧 Tune in, reflect, and keep moving forward...one honest mile at a time.
