Super Awesome You: Brave Enough Today

"I can do hard things" - What running my first marathon taught me about life's big challenges


Listen Later

Ever wondered what it takes to transform a simple decision into an extraordinary achievement? Join me, Sam, as I recount my journey of running the New York City Marathon for the first time. You'll hear about the rigorous two-year preparation, the shift in diet and lifestyle, and the unwavering commitment to a goal that seemed daunting at first. It’s a tale that underscores the power of taking that first step toward any dream and the immense satisfaction that awaits at the finish line.

As I faced the marathon's grueling demands, mental and physical barriers loomed large. These challenges tested my resilience and sparked an empowering realization—I had the strength to push through. Supported by friends and family, I adopted strategies to overcome fatigue and emerged with a profound sense of accomplishment. This episode doesn't just share a personal story but offers a universal metaphor for tackling life's big endeavors, inspiring listeners to conquer their ambitions with confidence and perseverance.

With the excitement of crossing the marathon finish line still fresh, I draw parallels to another passion—podcasting. Launching and maintaining a show comes with its own set of challenges, much like training for a marathon. As we gear up for season three, I invite you to reflect on personal goals that align with your core values. Together, let's explore themes of motivation and discipline, celebrate each other's accomplishments, and embrace the journey ahead with gratitude and determination. Follow along and engage on social media for updates and inspiration, where we'll continue to support and uplift one another in our quests for success.
