I’m truly honored to be able to share the knowledge I’ve gained as well as to encourage others to reach their goals, push through obstacles, and enjoy running and life! The coaching is so applicable to my life and business as well, I’m crushing the sales goals I set for myself this year, FINALLY breaking a sales plateau I’d hit a few years back. My running is FINALLY consistent. I’m confident enough that I will train properly and consistently that I’m doing a marathon in January.

Run Your Best Life has taught me how to believe in myself like I never have before. And being an ambassador means that I get to share the best program and my experiences with those around me! My best advice for new runners is to not focus so much on pace or form or anything else. Focus on the fact that you are doing it!
Kiah Twisselman Burchett
Listen to Kiah share her story on the podcast here. RYBL has given me an incredibly supportive community of fellow runners from all walks of life! It is extremely refreshing to see so many diverse examples of what it looks like to be a bad-ass runner. But more than anything, RYBL is a community that teaches us all how to appreciate ourselves more, speak to ourselves better, and become stronger, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. Being an ambassador means being a champion of women. We are SO much stronger than we give ourselves credit for and having the opportunity to empower and support other women in their pursuit of not just physical fitness, but mental fitness as well is such an honor.
Stormi Campbell
Listen to Stormi share her story on the podcast here. In every possible way. The way I look at running, the way I look at food, the way I deal with \”bad\” days, how I speak to others, there’s not a facet of my life that hasn’t been affected by the tools I’ve learned in Run Your Best Life. Jill’s program has changed my life in every possible way. The way I look at running, the way I look at food, the way I deal with “bad” days, how I speak to others, there’s not a facet of my life that hasn’t been affected by the tools I’ve learned in Run Your Best Life. Being an Ambassador, I get to work with the best coaches in the most amazing program with the coolest women. Because I am here, I get to share the love of running with other women and introduce them to the program that has completely changed my running and life for the better. It’s an immense privilege to be a part of this team.
Sarah Clermont
Listen to Sarah share her story on the podcast here. Run Your Best Life has made me more aware of the power behind my thoughts. It has given me the ability to see where the thought errors are and do a reset to provide more favourable outcomes. It is so empowering to know that this comes from within me. The other huge thing for me is the support, encouragement, and ideas I get from all the runners in Not Your Average Runner, the Rebel Runner Roadmap, and Run Your Best Life. I have never seen such a powerful, positive, and inclusive community online or in the real world. Being an ambassador means that I get to share the encouragement, love, tips, and ideas that I have received from all the women I have encountered. I am so blessed to be a part of this community. All I want to do is share the love. This is a group and lifestyle that’s changed my life and I’m ready to pay it forward. Being an ambassador means that I get to share the encouragement, love, tips, and ideas that I have received from all the women I have encountered. I am so blessed to be a part of this community.
Cynthia Dills
Listen to Cynthia share her story on the podcast here. I have completely and unabashedly embraced my runner’s body and interval training/running. This confidence has flowed into other areas of my life as well. It has led me to get my RRCA Coaching certification. If I was giving advice to a new runner I’d say, listen to your body not your brain. Your body is more honest about what it needs than what your brain tries to convince you it needs. This is not a race against anyone else’s pace or mileage. This is simply about you and what you want to accomplish. I’m so excited to be an ambassador because I get the opportunity to share what I have learned with others and I get the opportunity to grow in my own self-support on my journey to healthy.
Rachel Hart
It has helped me recognize the doubts and related thoughts and habits that prevent me from reaching for my goals (running and other!) while enjoying the process! It is an honor to be able to share what I have learned and support and promote this community! It means I get to invite people to this amazing community of support and coaching! Run Your Best Life has helped me recognize the doubts and related thoughts and habits that prevent me from reaching for my goals (running and other!) while enjoying the process! I want new runners to always remember that forward movement is forward movement whether running, walking, or crawling.
Robyn Harvard
Listen to Robyn share her story on the podcast here. After being diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer, I found myself lost in despair. The treatments wore down my body and brain. A few months after treatment, I was tired of being tired. So, I started running with a local group and eventually found Jill through a friend and I realized her thought work teachings were the missing component in my running. I love how she teaches how to use the power of your thoughts to get results. I am thankful to be an Ambassador and excited to help as many people cross (or keep crossing) the finish line and change their lives as possible. I want everyone to know if you have dreams of being a runner, you can be a runner!
Beth Laws
RYBL has changed how I look at myself and how I take care of myself. I have so much more confidence than I ever had before. Taking the time for me makes me a better mother, wife, employee, and overall human. The thought work has been a game-changer. I’m in control of my thoughts and feelings in all aspects of my life—so far beyond running. Being part of this amazing community of supportive women is unparalleled and I’ve got some of the best friends that I’ve never met in RYBL! Being an ambassador is a wonderful gift. I can share my imperfections and triumphs and hope to inspire others along the way.
Amy Loewenthal
Listen to Amy share her story on the podcast here. Although I understood why stretching, strength training, and mental control were “good practices,” before Run Your Best Life, I didn’t consistently use these tools. RYBL helped me integrate these practices into my life, so they are now effortless hard-wired habits! I was motivated to set and achieve a rather audacious goal – a half marathon for my 60th birthday! Thought work has been especially helpful in navigating difficult dynamics in my professional life. Using CTFAR, I was able to look at my circumstances more objectively and disentangle from negative thoughts and feelings. This thought work process guided me through taking positive actions. While I find CTFAR useful in my sporting life, it has been a priceless tool in my work life. I love being an Ambassador because I want to share the many aspects of RYBL that have greatly benefitted me. I want to encourage others to use the great tools and enjoy the support to grow towards their goals. I have failed enough and succeeded enough to have acquired both confidence and humility. I hope to be a relatable role model.
Kelsey Pavlidis
Listen to Kelsey share her story on the podcast here. Being an Ambassador means representing a group of bad-ass women who have taken control over our minds and bodies, or are actively working to do so. It means supporting women in getting started and staying on their journey, running or otherwise. It means getting the word out about how amazing running can make you feel, at any size or age. Because of Run Your Best Life, I went from a not-so-confident woman and runner who was too afraid to identify as a runner out loud, to an OUTLOUD runner who completed her first half marathon, is more comfortable with her body than I ever have been, and left a toxic work situation. I am a happier, more whole woman with the support of RYBL.
Lisa Russell
Listen to Lisa share her story on the podcast here. RYBL has improved my outlook! Mind over matter! I always fought myself with every running jag I was on because I thought I was supposed to be faster, stronger, more graceful. RYBL has helped me enjoy running for what it is. Being appreciative of my body and grateful for its strength is my new power thought. It means so much to me to help women connect with a form of exercise that can bring them joy. We are often so critical of who we are, how we perform, and how we show up for others and ourselves. I want to help women bridge the gap between how they think about running and actually running.
Bethany Shields
Listen to Bethany share her story on the podcast here. I now view myself as a runner and have confidence in myself as an athlete. I set big scary goals and achieve every single last one of them, and the thought work has helped me to improve the way I approach any obstacles in my life. It is an honor to represent Not Your Average Runner! I embody the principles and self-coaching practices we teach. I’ve developed a solid morning and evening routine, become consistent in my workouts, challenged myself regularly, completed training plans, stepped outside of my comfort zone, and used the thought work to improve my ability to handle all of life’s disruptions. Even Covid! This group of women has given me so much inspiration and encouragement in my own relationship with running and it is so humbling to know others find me inspiring to them! My physical and mental strength is not unique but the thought work our group teaches you is. I might not be the fastest runner but I AM A RUNNER and I’m proud of every step this journey has taken me on.
Elsbeth Thurston
Listen to Elsbeth share her story on the podcast here. I never thought of myself as a runner before joining. I was someone who wanted to run and find the old inner athlete, but I didn’t believe it was possible. I’ve now run a half-marathon and have a full on my schedule for next year.

I’ve now run a half-marathon and have a full on my schedule for next year! I am honored to be an Ambassador. For all of those high school and college athletes that lost themselves to a career and family, it’s time to get your inner athlete back. You might not be the same size or shape, you might not have the same power and speed, but you are still an athlete. Let that light shine and let’s get to work!
Rebecca Wallenfelsz
RYBL has given me two indispensable things. The first is how to be consistent and stop allowing excuses to derail my goals. The second thing is a community of amazing and supportive women that I am connected to, not just about running but also about life. I learn so much and have so much fun with these incredible women whenever I’m on a coaching call or attending one of the many monthly classes or at an RYBL retreat. Being an ambassador has given me a focus to share the joy I’ve found in running and in the NYAR and RYBL community.
Barbara Weakley
RYBL has given me so much confidence to not care about what other people think when they see me out for a run. In 2011 I started running at 37 and by 2014 I was not getting out as much. I had started worrying about what people thought about me when they saw me. I stuck to hiking trails with a short run here and there. When I did go out on the road I would only wear black, and mostly longer capris, and hope that no one noticed me. Now I run in public and wear all the bright colors, shorts and skirts! I want to inspire others to get past feeling like they can’t be an athlete. To feel like they have to fade into the background. I want to inspire them to set big goals and crush them.
Carol Wiens
That’s a hard one to narrow down because I attribute many changes in my life to RYBL. Aside from giving me the tool to accept myself to run at 375 pounds and not dwell in what others think has been huge. In my personal life though I use the thought model daily! I sometimes just think through the model in my head especially when I’m in the car thinking about a problem. I think the model saved my marriage though. I had all kinds of thoughts to cipher through in early 2020 regarding our relationship and death of someone close to me using the model I realized I was giving him a manual he had no knowledge of so I needed to tell him what I needed for a few weeks.I attribute many changes in my life to Run Your Best Life.
