runDisney Information Page

As a lover of all things runDisney, I have run in many runDisney races over the past few years.

Here you will find runDisney information, race recaps, and more!

runDisney

These events hold a special place in my heart because it is at a runDisney event where my distance running journey first began. Since then I have run almost every race, some multiple times. I have also had the privilege to attend several social media meetups and VIP events while in town for races. Check out the links below to see some of my favorite posts about these magical events, and feel free to email me with any questions!

Travel might change my surroundings, but my wellness routine stays the same — hydration, movement, sleep, skincare… and my @bioma.health probiotic.

Bioma goes so far beyond digestion. Its ingredients have been shown to support mental well-being, improve cognitive function, boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, strengthen the gut barrier, and even support healthy aging. 

It’s all about creating a balanced gut microbiome — which impacts everything from mood to immunity to long-term wellness.

So many people I know follow and like posts and st So many people I know follow and like posts and stories from content creators, but when it’s people they know in real life….forget about it. All of the sudden, we just don’t need or deserve the support. We just get lurkers. 💔 

Women, I encourage you in 2026 to find a table where women champion other women. And I encourage all the ladies here to be a girl’s girl. There is room for everyone, and we ALL need a little support, even those that look like they have it all together. 

Let’s commit to helping each other on AND offline. A simple smile, an “I love your dress” or “your kid did great in the school play” or “hang in there, you got this!” Goes a long way. 

I will never understand people going out of their way to intentionally bypass a person online or in real life. People matter. It’s a tough time of year for a lot of people, so let’s all act like the friends we claim to be and be there for each other however we can. ❤️

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️

The end of the year is always a time that I reflec The end of the year is always a time that I reflect on how things went, what I want to do different or better in the new year, and to be honest…I’m always really hard on myself.😕

I often end up sad or frustrated that things didn’t “turn out as planned.” But planned according to who? Success according to what? 

As we were ice skating last weekend at Gaylord Opryland, laughing and just having so much fun as a family, I was hit with what I can only describe as a warm fuzzy. I wanted to smile and cry all at the same time. I thought to myself….this is it right here. 🥹

If nothing else good happens, I’ve got this and am so rich because of it. These moments. This is what I always prayed for as a girl when imagining my family one day. And it’s here, happening right now. I don’t want to wish it away waiting for the next big thing to happen. 

I just want to ice skate with them in a place that makes us so happy. Wha a year. ⛸️ ❤️

It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as a Thanksgiving post, right? 🦃🫶🏻

I took the day off on Thursday and then worked a ton Friday, EK had bball Saturday and then we went out of town. I realized I never posted for turkey day! 😜

I have so much to be thankful for, most days I feel completely undeserving. God has been good to us, even in the days that don’t feel so good. His plans may not make sense at the time, but thankfully He is the one that sees the whole picture, not us! 

We are going into the Christmas season with hearts full of gratitude and love as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. This is the most special and my favorite time of year! Let the celebrating continue! 

Lastly, I am thankful for all of YOU! For liking, commenting on, and watching my content over the years. Without you, my career doesn’t exist and I am beyond thankful for the opportunities this job has given me. So THANK YOU! 🫶🏻

Using the Braun IPL has completely changed my routine, it’s the at-home alternative to salon laser hair removal that gives me long-lasting results without the appointments or pain. I started seeing results after my second use, and now I get to spend that extra time doing things I actually love — like traveling, family time, and coffee runs ☕✨ 

If you’ve been thinking about trying IPL, now’s the time, @BraunBeautyUS Black Friday sale is happening Nov 16 – Dec 1, with $120 off the Braun IPL. Up to 2 years of smooth, salon-like skin, right from home. #BraunIPL
