In this solo episode, I talk about the thing I never thought I’d be doing at 50—training for my fifth major marathon. Spoiler: I used to believe I wasn’t built for endurance. Not physically. Not mentally. And certainly not over 26.2 bloody miles.
Turns out, I was wrong.
And maybe... so are you.
This episode is about so much more than running. It’s about:
- The sneaky stories we absorb early—about what we can and can’t do
- Why midlife is exactly the time to challenge those beliefs
- How running became my training ground for self-trust
- What real confidence looks like (hint: not a Pinterest quote)
- Being anxious and quietly confident—and doing it anyway
Whether or not you’ve ever pinned on a race bib, this is for any woman who’s been living under the weight of old rules, dusty identities, or low-key doubt.
Maybe you’ve been wrong about what you’re capable of.
Maybe it’s time to find out.
