  • Chantelle Erickson: From Treadmill to Ultra Trail Running, a Path of Healing and Thriving

    Chantelle Erickson: From Treadmill to Ultra Trail Running, a Path of Healing and Thriving
    Jan 14 2025
    Today Chantel Erickson is an ultra trail runner and, as she says, a multipreneur, in addition to being a wife and the mother of two children. Erickson runs her business Be Well Chantel, and under the umbrella of that business, she has many offerings. One of them is Baby Mama, where she offers pre- and postnatal fitness services; she is a running coach. Additionally, Erickson is a financial advisor focused on helping women with financial literacy. She is also a freelance writer, and one of her primary outlets is Canadian Running Magazine. And, Erickson is a recurring co-host on the Community Trail Running podcast, with Adam Lee. So today, Erickson is thriving in many ways, but things for her were definitely not always like this. A little background here, Erickson was raised by her grandmother and her mom who had Erickson just as she was finishing high school. Erickson did not connect with her father until much later in life, and she talks about that in her story. Over the course of her life, Chantel has experienced many traumas and her upbringing and early adulthood were chaotic. And then running came into her life and it provided a steady foundation for many positive changes. What Erickson discovered through her running journey and how it all unfolded is what her story is all about.

  • Vanessa C. Peralta-Mitchell: Founder of Games Changers, Redefining Who Is a Leader in Running

    Vanessa C. Peralta-Mitchell: Founder of Games Changers, Redefining Who Is a Leader in Running
    Jan 7 2025
    Vanessa C. Peralta-Mitchell was inspired to start running after learning how hard women had fought to just participate in sports. That moment of inspiration would eventually change her life, setting Peralta-Mitchell on a path to change the running industry. How that all unfolded is what this episode is all about. Peralta-Mitchell is a runner, business owner, running coach, and mother of three children. She's well known for being the founder of Game Changers, an organization that supports women of color to become run coaches and leaders in the running industry. Game Changers started in 2020, and in October of 2024 accepted its fifth cohort of women into the program: like those who came before them, these 24 new women from 12 states will become certified run coaches, and receive mentoring business development support. This adds to the over 80 women who've already gone through the program. Just last year, Peralta-Mitchell also launched PWRher'd. This is a program, powered by Game Changers, that partners with races and gives entrants an opportunity to sign up for online coaching services that get them ready for that specific race, so they can be well prepared to have a successful experience. Additionally, when PWRher'd partners with a race, they make a contribution to the local community on behalf of the partnership. Peralta-Mitchell's story demonstrates what can happen when we see our potential as limitless. How to Keep Up with Vanessa C.

    2024 Reflections: Clips to Take With You Into 2025
    Dec 31 2024
    For this episode, I chose a variety of clips from 10 episodes published in 2024 that have stuck with me and made an impact. This isn't a "best of" so much as a celebration of the huge variety of experiences and motivations women have in this sport. I hope you'll find something in here to motivate and inspire you, and perhaps spark a new interest for 2025. It's incredible how much this sport brings to so many people and the myriad ways it can show up in our lives. Enjoy!
