i truly felt this! there’s so many things we want to do and so many directions to be pulled- and some days it feels like i’m good at none of them!

also love that you’re a running girl but you’re lowkey scaring me because i haven’t been injured yet 🫣

Thanks, Carly! I want to do it all. However, there sometimes are just not enough hours in the day nor patience with myself to be able to achieve everything I want to achieve. I'm so glad you get it.

Running is the absolute best. If it ever gets challenging, always listen to your body because it will always need rest even if you want to push yourself more. All in time.

KEEP AT IT GIRL! Honestly just showing up is half the battle. You’re doing that and more! Also as a former runner who had to stop thanks to a HORRIBLE slipped disc I still have to deal with to this day— I applaud your dedication!!!

Sogole! I'm so glad you get it when it comes to running. It sounds like we are running injury soulmates. My favorite form of execise, but also the worst form of exercise to your body. So sorry to hear about your horrible slipped disc, sending warm hugs. Also, I can't thank you enough for your kind words and your thoughtful comments on my posts. They all mean the world to me, thank you!

Your line about being hooked by a purpose really hit me. Thank you for sharing this and I hope that you will keep writing (and running) and allow the expectations of anyone else to fall away. I wish we could sit and drink a coffee together to remind one another to stay positive when our own self-doubt creeps in.

Thank you, Kelly! What you have been able to accomplish on Substack is truly an inspiration, keep at it. I am honored that you have continued to read my newsletter. If I ever find myself in Denver in the forseeable future, I will absolutely be hitting you up for a coffee. Or we could do the old fashion way over Zoom. I'm down for either 😊.
