Summary
"I get overwhelmed, I get stressed, I put a lot of pressure on myself. I have high expectations for myself. But my 'why' is wanting to do my best. My why is wanting to be a good example for Annie. If I'm going to spend any time working and away from my daughter, I want it to be for a good reason."
Welcome to Ask Ali, the series where I answer all of your questions. This time around, I'm flying through 26 listener questions, sent in via Instagram Stories (I'm @aliontherun1), about podcast, running, motherhood, Halloween, purple M&Ms, laundry detergent (?), and so much more.

| 0:06.6 | I'm your host Alley Feller and this is Ask Alley Solo Edition. |
| 0:11.3 | I am here today to answer a whole pile of questions submitted over Instagram stories. |
| 0:16.8 | And as always, I'm guessing these ones run the gamut. |

| 0:53.1 | something you can add to your gooter ad read. |
| 0:56.2 | She said she loves that your face recognition on your phone will still work when you are |

| 1:12.6 | It still recognizes me. |
