E162 Alicia: Say “yes” where others might say “no way”

Alicia is not running for gold, but she could if she wanted to.

She runs with reckless abandon for costumes (brought on by an early figure skating career), reindeer games, grueling uphills, yam fries, planning her start-up, micro-breweries, testing her limits and to simply be able to say “yes” where others might say “no way”. She's currently expecting her first kiddo real soon!
