From Anxiety to 50 Miles: The Power of Self-Trust with Katie Van Hooser

What if healing isn’t only about fixing what feels wrong, but discovering how good life can get?

Heather McKean sits down with Katie Van Hooser to explore her journey from anxiety, perfectionism, and fear to a growing sense of self-trust that ultimately helped her take on something extraordinary: a 50-mile ultramarathon.

Katie shares why doing all the “right” things wasn’t enough, what happened when a deeper layer of fear surfaced, and how learning to listen to herself and her body changed the way she approaches challenges, healing, and life itself.

It’s a powerful reminder that transformation doesn’t have to happen all at once. Sometimes it begins with one baby step.
