What If You’re Wrong About What You Can Do? (Midlife + Marathons)

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.
