Super Awesome You: Brave Enough Today
Welcome to Super Awesome You: Brave Enough Today, a podcast for people who are done letting self-doubt run the show.
If you’ve ever talked yourself out of something your heart wanted… if you’ve waited until you were “ready” or “perfect” or “more confident” then this space is for you.
Hosted by Sam Abousalbi (a neurobiology grad, marathoner, and former spin instructor turned mindset mentor) each episode blends science, soul, and small steps to help you move forward, even when your inner critic is loud.
This is honest encouragement for the over-thinkers, the dreamers, and the ones who keep showing up.
You don’t have to be fearless. You just have to be brave enough today.

Episode 10
I'm joined this week by special guest Indy, a long-time marathoner and NYC runner, as we break down the upcoming 2025 United Half Marathon in New York City! We both ran the race last year, and will be running it this year, so we wanted to review our memories of each parts of the race, and offer up any tips/tricks/guidance if you're a first time runner there (or if it's been a while).
We break the race down into:
- Expo / Bib-pickup
- Getting to the start
- Miles 1-3 in the park
- Miles 4-6 along Flatbush avenue and into Manhattan
- Miles 7-10 along the FDR
- Miles 10-12 through 42nd street and Times Square
- Miles 12-13.1 through Central Park to finish!
