Episode 15: This episode feels a little different...

Today, I’m sharing a raw and vulnerable part of my healing journey — one that’s still unfolding.

After training for months and reaching a huge milestone of running 9 miles, I thought I was finally reclaiming the strong, healthy version of myself I had missed for so long.

But life had other lessons to teach me.

Instead of crossing the finish line I dreamed of, I found myself in a flare — tired, hurting, and questioning everything.

In this episode, I open up about:

✨ The emotional high of reaching a goal I once thought was impossible

✨ The heartbreaking moment of telling my son I couldn’t run the race we had planned together

✨ The unexpected pride and love my children shared with me — and how it changed my heart

✨ A powerful conversation with my sister about releasing old expectations and embracing new dreams

✨ Learning that healing sometimes means slowing down — and that joy doesn’t have to come from hustle or proving anything

If you’ve ever found yourself grieving old versions of yourself...

If you’re learning how to be gentle with your body and your heart...

If you’re craving permission to choose ease over pressure...

This episode is for you. 💛

Listen now — and remember, you are enough exactly as you are. No finish line needed.
