Running, Flying and a Flock with Carolyn Gardner - Volée Team Manager at Oiselle

This month of March, we celebrate women's history by leaning into stories where a collective energy of women speaks to the incredible influence of sisterhoods and allies. We talk to women who are deeply involved in creating, nurturing and growing communities.

In today's episode, Sylvia is joined by Carolyn Gardner, the Volée Team Manager at Oiselle, about the community-building power of running. They discuss early experiences of intimidation in running groups and how that inspired Carolyn to make a difference, adaption and unforeseen wins during COVID, the power of sharing women's stories, and much more.

"The heart and soul of everything that we do is 'What can we do to make running a more inclusive space for all athletes?" Carolyn Gardner
