About this episode:

Jess Tonn McClain, a professional marathoner for Brooks, will have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about “never giving up.” Jess shares how taking a two-year break from competing helped her hit the reset button, ditch the pressure of her identity as an athlete, reconnect with life beyond the track, and come back way stronger — on her own terms.
