Welcome to Yaya’s Yap Corner!
I’m Yarania, but most people call me Yara, Ya, or Yaya. At this point, I’ll answer to pretty much anything.
I’m a coach, founder of Yaya’s Run Club, and someone who always has something to say.
This podcast is where I share thoughts, stories, lessons, and conversations about fitness, running, personal growth, life, and whatever else I find myself thinking about that week.
Some episodes will be educational, some will be personal, and some will just be me yapping into a microphone.
For b*tches who love yapping.
Thanks for being here <3
