AI and Running: How do they relate?

Reclaiming the Run with Dena Lewis and Sydney Johnson

A safer future for women runners starts with honest conversations like this one. For many women, running brings confidence, healing, strength, and joy. But it can also come with fear—a reality that too many female runners know all too well. In this episode of In Fearless Conversation, I’m joined by Dena Lewis, ultra marathoner, entrepreneur, and founder of Running Mate, the first real-time, on-demand run-share app created to help make outdoor running safer. Dena shares her deeply personal story of surviving two assaults while running alone and how those experiences inspired her mission to help women reclaim their confidence, freedom, and sense of safety outdoors.

Inner Monologue: 3 Non-Negotiables for Self-Care

WHY SELF-CARE IS NOT SELF-ISH In this Inner Monologue episode, 261 Fearless Coach Ambassador Sarah Jackson (261 Fearless Club UK) reflects on the importance of creating “non-negotiables” for self-care, not as acts of selfishness, but as essential practices that help us show up more fully in our lives. Sarah shares how entering midlife, navigating anxiety, and managing the demands of everyday life led her to rethink what caring for herself truly means. In this episode, Sarah explains how her 3 non-negotiables have become anchors for her mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. With honesty, humor, and warmth, Sarah reminds us that self-care does not have to look perfect and that prioritizing ourselves can be one of the bravest things we do.
