The podcast for the gremlin girlies - on this podcast we cover everything from embracing your inner wildness to navigating dating in your twenties to developing a healthy relationship with running and training. We define 'gremlin' as a creature of the wild. The gremlin girls go with the flow of life, see opportunity in chaos, and make the most out of their circumstances. To be a gremlin means to step into your power and own your authority. Your host, Mak Shea Smith, is an elite obstacle course racer, ultramarathon runner, full-time engineer, certified life coach, backpacker, and content creator with over 130K followers on Tik Tok. She shares her wisdom about attempting to do it all while learning and growing in the content creating space... Not to mention making every mistake possible along the way.

    PHEW today is a doozy - we go completely unscripted and chat about a whole boatload of generally off-topic topics. Mak is recording from Telluride, CO before flying into Denver to thru-hike the Colorado Trail. Today we cover Mak's first DNF at the Spartan Utah Ultra, a preview of the CT, moving to Hawaii for a month, dealing with a lack of structure and a candid look at mental health issues in the past and present. The episode ends with a fun lighthearted discussion about the topic of death prompted by the book "Smoke Gets in the Eyes". Overall, a very chaotic episode that has become par for the course over here.Follow the pod!Instagram @gremlintalkpodYoutube Gremlin Talk PodFollow the host:Tik Tok @makontherunInstagram @maksheasmithYoutube Mak Shea SmithSubscribe, listen, and enjoy wherever you find your podcasts!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/gremlin-talk/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
