In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey to the New York City Half Marathon — from lacing up as a total beginner to crossing the finish line in one of the most iconic cities in the world.

As a mom of twins, stepmom of teens, and full-time working mom, training for a half marathon wasn’t just about running. It was about reclaiming my wellness, building confidence one mile at a time, and doing something bigger than myself — all while raising money for Team for Kids, an organization dedicated to bringing free fitness programs to children in underserved communities.

 In this episode, you’ll hear:

How I went from “not a runner” to 13.1 miles

The real-life challenges of training while juggling work and motherhood

Why running with Team for Kids gave my miles more meaning

How running became a powerful act of self-care and impact

My advice for anyone chasing a bold dream — even when it feels impossible

Whether you're training for a race, craving motivation, or simply looking for a reminder that you are capable of more than you think, this episode is for you.
