Growing Through Hard Seasons | Kelsey LeBaron

Joining the Resistance

How did a book about the French Resistance turn into a lesson on personal values, endurance running, and living authentically? Honestly, I'm not entirely sure—but somehow it all connects. In this solo episode, I explore the boxes we put ourselves in, the rules we follow without questioning, and the freedom that comes from realizing life isn't one-size-fits-all. Plus, I'll walk you through a few exercises to help identify your own values and create a personal mission statement.
