We often think growth means pushing harder, doing more, and never slowing down. But real progress comes from pacing ourselves—steady effort balanced with intentional rest. In this short reflection, Kristen shares how marathon training (and therapy) both teach the same truth: growth doesn’t come from constant pushing. It comes from effort, rest, and the patience to keep showing up over time.
