In this episode of RUNWITHALLI LIVE, I’m thrilled to sit down with Shaina Partlow, a health and wellness coach whose journey from English literature to fitness coaching is nothing short of inspiring.

We dive into her story — from earning a B.A. in English and a Master’s in Student Affairs Administration to discovering her true passion in helping women define what healthy means for them. Together, we explore how she navigated career pivots, built a thriving coaching business, and now empowers others to find balance and confidence through personalized wellness.

You’ll Hear Insights On:

  • How career shifts can align with personal growth and purpose
  • Lessons learned from mentorships, internships, and leadership roles
  • Why “healthy” should never be one-size-fits-all
  • The power of speaking, presenting, and connecting through wellness education
  • What’s next for her as she continues to expand her impact in the health and coaching world

We wrap up with a heartfelt conversation about the importance of community, curiosity, and saying “yes” to opportunities that align with your values — including why she said YES to joining me on the RUNWITHALLI LIVE Podcast!

Whether you’re an aspiring coach, a lifelong learner, or simply looking for inspiration to make your next big pivot, this episode will leave you motivated to redefine success on your own terms.
