In this episode of The Running Wine Mom, Samantha Cieslinski chats with U.S. marathon record holder, mom of two, real estate agent, running store owner, and author Keira D’Amato. Together, they explore what it means to find yourself again after motherhood, redefine success, and embrace movement as medicine for the mind.
Keira opens up about her comeback story, how she balances elite running with parenting, and why she believes joy—not perfection—is the real goal. From tackling mom guilt to learning to rest and recover with grace, Keira’s wisdom offers every mom permission to chase her passions without apology.
