#125 - How Running Helped Ivy Overcome Anxiety & Inspire Her Music As She Targets Her FIRST Marathon!

This week on RunThrough presents Gone Running, Ben Sheppard is joined by Singer, songwriter and now runner, Ivy. Ivy has been performing since childhood, starting with family shows before discovering that music was her therapy. From writing her first song at eight years old to building a career on YouTube, her songwriting process has evolved over the years, shaped by life experiences, mental health challenges, and a drive to create music that resonates with others.

In this conversation, Ivy opens up about balancing creativity with real life, reflecting on her past struggles with anxiety and depression, and finding joy in how her music impacts people. She shares how running became a new passion after being inspired by the London Marathon, helping her mentally and physically, and even sparking ideas for songs connected to her running journey.

Looking ahead, Ivy gives us a glimpse into her future music projects, including plans for a headline show in London, while also encouraging others to see running as a form of therapy.
