Champagne Smiles & Magical Miles
Champagne Smiles and Magical Miles is the podcast for anyone who believes they deserve magic — and is finally brave enough to go get it.
Hosted by Stephanie in the Parks — healthcare executive, speech language pathologist, wife, mom of three, four-time Dopey Challenge finisher, and someone who gained 35 pounds during a pandemic and came out the other side stronger than ever — this show is about so much more than Disney and running. It's about the courage it takes to become who you were always meant to be. Out loud. Imperfectly. With champagne in hand.
Every episode blends honest storytelling with real conversation — body image, GLP-1 journeys, surgery stories, perimenopause, divorce, confidence, motherhood, grief, and growth — alongside RunDisney deep dives, travel adventures, beauty and wellness favorites, and the kind of heart-to-heart moments that make you feel less alone on the drive home.
This is the show for Disney adults and runners, yes. But also for dreamers, parents in the middle of a comeback, people navigating big life changes, and anyone who has ever needed someone to say — you are allowed to want more for yourself.
Segments include Sparkle and Glow Up, Words Matter, Confidence Corner, Bubbles and Breakthroughs, and the beloved Maddie Jo Moment — because sometimes a ten year old says the thing that stops you completely.
Come for the pixie dust. Stay for the real talk. 🥂
