Sarah Seads has been working and playing in the fields of running, rehabilitation and health and wellness since 1996 when she stumbled into her career as a Kinesiologist during her first year of University at UVic. Intending to complete her degree as a writer, Sarah suddenly found herself in the school of exercise sciences when a tree planting injury landed her in the university’s Physio clinic. Sarah has been working as a professional Coach in the fields of Kinesiology and sport science for over 25 years and has helped thousands of inspiring humans overcome their limiting beliefs and reach towards their soul sized visions, dreams and goals all over the planet.

Thanks in part to the pandemic, Sarah closed her successful in person company on Vancouver Island to follow her lifelong dream of becoming a successful writer. Although she has written 3 small books already, Sarah is currently writing her first experiential & highly adventurous memoir, which will be based around a central theme of pushing pause on her familiar life, closing her business, turning away from her mind-only living experiences and turning solely into heart based living by learning to listen to and trust her intuition. Sarah has recently returned to her full-time business coaching groups and individuals both online & in-person, after spending the past 3 years navigating her inner and outer wilderness all around the world.

I first interviewed Lizzie in 2020 when we was diagnosed with rare heart condition called AVRC. It's genetic condition that effects the muscle in your heart and makes it turn into scar tissue the harder you work the muscle. In short, it means running can kill you. We chat again about how she's learned to live with it and how far she can push.

Lizzie found running in her mid 20's and quickly fell in love. It became a huge part of her life as she began winning races and spending her weekends adventuring. She even met her now husband when they shared the podium together at a 50km.
