Lesley Suter is a longtime journalist and creative force in the food media world, currently serving as Special Projects Director at Eater. She’s used to working in the realm of pixels, packaging stories, and feeding the insatiable digital algorithm, but out on the run, something different happens. The noise quiets. The thoughts drop. And something deeper begins to speak.
In this episode, Lesley opens up about the tension between a life lived in words and a body that craves movement. We talk about the unexpected path that led her from music journalism to marathon training, the imposter syndrome she still feels around running, and the complicated relationship many women have with food and performance. She shares how running evolved from a calorie-burn mindset into a tool for joy, balance, and presence — and how lately, it’s started whispering something more.
From “feeding the robot” to coaching Girls on the Run, this conversation explores what it means to follow the creative nudge, even when you don’t yet know where it leads.
