In this episode, host Karen Bonnett-Natraj welcomes ultra runner and coach Nick Bautista , whose story perfectly embodies the intersection of hustle, healing, and the transformative power of alignment between mind and body. After meeting at the grueling Route 66 Ultra Run—a 140-mile adventure— Karen Bonnett-Natraj was deeply inspired by Nick Bautista 's extraordinary approach to endurance, mental resilience, and purpose-driven performance. Donella Foregren joins the conversation to dig even deeper into what drives Nick Bautista : from his first steps as a non-runner seeking better physical health, to conquering a mind-bending 500-mile race, and his philosophy on training, competition, and staying grounded in the present moment. Whether you're an ultra-distance runner, just starting your fitness journey, or searching for tools to build true mental strength, this episode will resonate with you. Get ready for real talk on running for your heart, self-discovery on long miles, the importance of personalized coaching, and why sometimes the greatest victories aren't about finishing first—they're about finding freedom, connection, and clarity within.","meta_description":"Welcome back to the Running Strong Mind-Body Connection podcast!
