Beskrivelse

This week I found myself wrestling with a question many of us face: Am I changing my mind....or am I chickening out? With an open water swim on the calendar, a healthy does of anxiety, and plenty of second-guessing, I started thinking about the difference between avoiding something because we're afraid and choosing not to do something because it simply isn't worth it to us. As someone who has spent years learning to live alongside anxiety, I've discovered that facing fears matters--but so does knowing when you don't need to prove anything. In this episode, I share some of my own experiences with anxiety, why I intentionally seek out challenges that stretch me, and how practicing courage in everyday life can make it easier to face the things that truly matter. Whether you're training for a race, considering a big decision, or simply trying to figure out what your gut is telling you, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes courage means doing the scary thing. And sometimes courage means giving yourself permission not to.

episode The Plateau Nobody Talks About cover

The Plateau Nobody Talks About

Today's show is about feeling like you're at a plateau, in training or in any other thing you are putting effort and energy into. I'll share how I have felt this way recently in my swim training and in the making of the show itself, and how I'm working on my mindset and shifting toward seeing it as something to accept (and perhaps even embrace) versus something that needs to be overcome. I will also share a bit about how I approach and enjoy traveling and training or racing when I do. This includes my recent family beach vacation and how I incorporated triathlon training while I was there, and several upcoming events that I'm traveling to. If you have ever felt stuck in a state of stagnation, like you aren't making progress, this episode will resonate.

Hard Things and Dirt Roads

This week, I'm recapping my first big gravel cycling adventure, sharing thoughts about the newly announced Springtime Surprise themes (and dates?!) from RunDisney, and talking about a lesson that's been on my mind lately; sometimes training is about so much more than race day. Whether it's a steep gravel climb you didn't expect or a challenge in life that shows up without warning, endurance sports have a way of teaching us how to keep moving forward when things get hard. In this episode, I'm reflecting on the confidence that comes from trying new things, the mental skills we build through training, and why every mile might be preparing us for more than we realize. We'll talk gravel, Disney, mindset, and the surprising ways our riding, running, and racinghelp us navigate life's unexpected twists and turns.
