On this episode of the Way Up Health Podcast, our featured guest is Sam Robinson. 

Being an accomplished runner, Sam knows the hills and valleys of running as much as anyone. "Running was part of my identity, a very important part of my identity." Through years of injuries, pregnancies, mental blocks and more, Sam was able to find a healthy balance with running. 

Yet the story doesn't stop there. Sam boldly took her education, experience, and greatest passion and merged them together to now help other runners navigate the difficulties of pregnancy. Based out of Salt Lake City, she is now a running coach who specializes in pregnancy and postpartum work.

On this episode of The Way Up Health Podcast, we are joined by Shayla Smith. As a group-fitness instructor, Shayla spends a lot of her time helping others find health through fitness. But before she shares her experience helping others, she guides us through her personal health journey. As Shayla takes us through her story, she describes how she has been able to maintain physical fitness and continually strive for balanced health in her own life, especially when circumstances, like pregnancy, change what that balance means.

In this episode of The Way Up Health Podcast, we get an in-depth crash course on improving our relationships. With both experience and education, who better to guide us through than Nate & Angilyn Bagley? 

Nate started his relationship research long ago and has since become an esteemed marriage educator, expert, and entrepreneur. Angilyn says she "married into" the passion for improving relationships and has since been a part of helping countless couples. Together, they have created a multitude of resources from podcasts to courses to workshops, all with the purpose of helping couples grow closer together.

In the episode, Nate and Angilyn walk us through their experiences with relationships both apart and together. Even as married marriage-experts, they vulnerably share some real-world difficulties they've had (such as a relationship status Nate calls, "Roommate Syndrome"), and provide practical ways to navigate those.

Whether you're 20 and dating or 20 years married, this episode is full of advice, analogies, and personal examples of how we can bring vulnerability, love, and growth into our relationships. 

I hope you enjoy, and thanks for joining us on the WAY UP.
