 If you’ve been following the podcast, you might remember Episode 13 with Wendy Babcock, where we explored her inspiring When Stories movement. In this special off-season episode, I’m sharing my own When story—how the past six years have shaped my life and led to the creation of the My Fit Tribe Podcast. 

I also talk about Chaplain Kathy Collins, who was by my side when my dad passed. You may remember her from Episode 21—she’s someone whose presence made a lasting impact. 

You can watch my full story on YouTube via the link below. I’ll be honest—I'm much more comfortable hosting than opening up about myself, so thank you for listening and for your continued support of me and the show. 

Season 2 drops September 10th—see you then!
