E4.1: Finding Joy Through Trauma, Guest Sandra Mikulic

Sandra Mikulic is a self proclaimed plus size runner and triathlete. In March 2018, at the age of 43, she started running and that's where her story of self transcendence begins. In January 2019, she started a challenge of running 5kms (3.12 miles) every day. She has surpassed 1070 days of running 5kms every day since January 1, 2019! Taking on this challenge has changed the neuroplasticity of Sandra's brain. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to form and reorgnaize synaptic connections. High neuroplasticity enables individuals to learn and re-organize information, as well as, heal trauma and anxiety and even injury. Running 5kms every day has changed Sandra's life. Within a 3 year time span, Sandra has finished 4 marathons, 24 half marathons, a 50k ultra and a triathlon. She is also launching a magazine to empower, motivate and inspire people to move their bodies with the understanding that one's size does not matter!
