2025 races and hikes

Wrapping up 2025

Day 1 of the Fifty-Won Challenge.

Daily Update

The Challenge is also a training for the Chilly Willy 10k which is on my 51st birthday.

Journal prompt Why am I doing this? How do I want to feel on day 51?

I closed out my 2025 vision board goal in the most powerful way I could’ve imagined by crossing the finish line at the Atlanta Track Club’s Invesco QQQ Thanksgiving Day race. Thirteen thousand runners. Thirty-three degrees. Endless hills. And a moment of pride that reminded me just how far I’ve come.

In this episode, I share the full story: finishing my 12th race of the year, navigating complicated holiday emotions while my daughters traveled to South Carolina, and processing what it feels like to stay away from relatives who still treat me like I don’t exist.

I also take you behind the scenes of a major life shift — ending one job, unexpectedly interviewing for another, and accepting a new HR role that starts December 2nd. It’s stability, it’s growth, and it’s still not the end of the story… because I’m building my own business, too.

This year tested me, stretched me, and pushed me but the finish lines kept me moving.

Affirmation:
I honor every finish line — on the trail, at work, and in my healing.

I’m stepping into Day Zero of my new 51-day challenge leading up to my 51st birthday. After completing two November 5Ks one strong, one a struggle I had to confront the truth about my consistency, my excuses, and my desire to grow as a runner and as a woman.
In this episode, I share why I’m choosing a different path into my next year and how the Fifty Won challenge will carry me there.

Journal Prompt:
“What truth about my consistency or self-belief am I ready to acknowledge, and what small step will I take today to honor the woman I’m becoming?”

Affirmation:
“I show up for myself with honesty, grace, and courage.”

What happens when faith falls away?

• The impact of being disfellowshipped and losing a religious community

📝 Journal Prompt:
“Where have I been relying on faith to fill a gap—and what would it look like to replace it with truth, action, or boundaries?”

In this raw and powerful August episode, Randi shares how choosing radical honesty became her greatest healing tool.

From raising daughters as a single mom to surviving microaggressions in the workplace to shedding perfectionism—this episode is a masterclass in truth-telling as a sacred act of self-preservation.

• Leaving a toxic job that demanded silence over dignity

This isn’t just about truth-telling with others—it’s about being honest with yourself.

The Peachtree Road Race was hot, humid, and humbling.
I documented every mile for my daughters—funny face selfies to make them laugh.
But behind every smile was a silent thought.
My headphones went out mid-run, and I was left with only my mind.

Here’s what mile by mile taught me. 💭👟
