storytelling about sport

"The lone wolf that said, 'I'm committed to covering Women cycling.'" -Tobin Heath, 2x Olympic gold & FIFA World Champion

​

Hi there! To make a long story short, I’m a storyteller in love with all things cycling, running, nutrition and movement-related. Books, articles, podcasts, I play in whatever format works to get people—especially girls and women—psyched on adventure and the outdoors. 

​

I’m the author of multiple fiction and nonfiction books, including the Shred Girls series.

​​

I’m the co-host of the weekly Consummate Athlete podcast, as well as the coauthor of Becoming A Consummate Athlete with my husband, cycling coach Peter Glassford. 

​​​​

I founded Strong Girl Publishing to tell more stories of young girls in sport, all written by young women athletes. Through that, I co-host the weekly Strong Girl Talk podcast with Dr. Sasha Gollish. 

I also write for publications including Bicycling magazine, Outside, and Canadian Running and speak about all things athletic on stages and shows ranging from PBS's NewsHour to the Trail Running Women Podcast. I have also developed content for New Balance, Asics, Norda, Canyon, Liv Cycling and more. 

​​

In my spare time, I’m ultra-running and racing on trails, riding bikes, or hiking with my mini-dachshund DW and podcast co-host/husband Peter Glassford.
