Ep28| It Started With 3.1 Miles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I never set out to create an annual Virtual 5K. I was recovering from a total ankle replacement and wanted one big goal: walk 3.1 miles. That first 5K took me about 4½ hours. I stopped. I rested. I started again. And at the end, my friend had drawn me a finish line in sidewalk chalk. I crossed it. What started as something I needed to help me feel strong slowly became something my community wanted to do with me—and eventually something we could use to help other people too.

Ep27 The Goal Can Stay. The Plan Can Change. (opens the original)

In this episode, I'm continuing my story through my first two knee surgeries, an unexpected finding, a suspected rare condition, and what it was like knowing something was wrong with my body without having an answer yet. Looking back, I wasn't consciously trying to be resilient. I was a mom, a wife, and so
Ep25- Putting Yourself First So You Can Put Others First (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes putting yourself first is the very thing that allows you to keep showing up for everyone else. Over the last few weeks, I've had to take some of my own advice. After dealing with more pain than usual, I realized I needed to make changes to the way I was showing up for Mindful Movements. I had spent months struggling with the idea of changing my live schedule because I didn't want the people who count on those lives to lose something valuable. But eventually I had to ask myself: What is
