\\u201cI viewed myself as a runner my whole life. That was my main identity. And so when I started considering the possibility that that might be taken away from me, I just felt this grief I didn\\u2019t even know how to handle yet, of who are you if you\\u2019re not a runner?\\u201d

Even if you don\'t know Dr. Jacqueline Alnes by the name, you definitely know her work. She\'s the woman behind the "tiny art" paintings you\'ve seen all over Instagram featuring inspiring women from within the running community. (You can buy her prints on Etsy here!) Jacqueline is a creative writing professor in Pennsylvania, and on this episode, she opens up about the neurological disorder that left her passing out on the run as a Division-I athlete in college \\u2014 and talks about how she came back and rediscovered her love for running.
