How many times have I made excuses because I didn’t feel like it, or I don’t think I have what it takes, or maybe it just seems too hard? But God wants to use our weaknesses, our pains, our trails, and turn them into our message. 

Today’s guest is a perfect example of this. A flesh-eating bacteria left her in a 3-week coma, and she lost all four of her limbs, becoming a quadruple amputee. Life would never be the same as she once knew it, but after a while, she chose to use her experience to empower others in gratitude, kindness, positivity, and faith, and that is when One Exceptional Life was born.

By the end of this episode, you will be able to understand how to use the gifts God gave you through your struggles and why gratitude and positivity are essential to live one exceptional life.

Today we continue our Boston Marathon series. I'm hosting moms who qualified for the 2020 Boston Marathon, which was postponed to September and eventually canceled altogether. These women are resilient, and I'm excited to share their struggle/victory stories and why the 2020 Boston Marathon would have been their victory run.

I was inspired to do this because I know how disappointed I was hearing the news of the cancelation when you work for years toward a goal only to have it ripped away from you, it can be devastating. We can't always schedule our circumstances, but we can choose our attitudes toward them, and these runners have chosen to use this disappointment to propel them forward in new goals.

Today's guest didn't start her running journey until her 30s post children. She attempted a few times throughout her life, but it never gained attraction. She never planned to even run a marathon, and now she has seven under her belt, including three BQs, but this year would have been her first Boston Marathon.

She's had to work through multiple injuries and figure out how to get her training in with a busy family and work schedule. Sometimes we push our goals to the side because we think we can't have both a good family structure and a big goal, but Jen proves you can have both, and by the end of this episode, I think you'll be itching to develop a big goal for yourself if you don't have one already. Let's get chatting!

Have you ever felt like something about you is minimizing what you can do? This something lessened your confidence and almost made you back down and quit on yourself. Maybe it’s a physical ailment, or maybe it’s a physical trait, or maybe it’s something someone said about you.

Today’s guest has a pretty unique story about how growing up, having the same name as a celebrity, actually held her back and kept her feeling stuck. Today we dive into that and see how she went from unconfident because of this unique factor to allowing it to help her thrive. 

Lucy Liu is a certified life coach helping women in life transitions get unstuck, beat overwhelm, see clarity, set new goals, live a happier fulfilling life, and thrive. She is an unshakable optimist, wife, mother, easy-going entrepreneur, women empowerment workshop facilitator, motivational speaker, and now she makes it her passion to help other women rewrite their life story. She also inspires as the host of her weekly podcast, The Lucy Liu Show.

I’m excited for you to hear our conversation, so let’s step into the fire!

I have a love/hate relationship with social media. It can be a great place to connect, ask questions, and network, but it can also be a place of shaming, comparison, and bullying. Our minds are so important to protect. God says to fix our eyes on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy.

Do you find yourself scrolling mindlessly or engaging in online arguments that aren’t beneficial? Maybe it’s time to detox your mind when it comes to social media. Detoxing the mind is as important as building your muscles and detoxing your body. I'm ready to disengage and focus on what is lovely, how about you?

In this short chat, I’m going to share some negatives to social media and why we need to be careful with what we engage in, but I’m also going to share three ways to use social media effectively. It’s not going away anytime soon, and, for many of us, the benefits of using it far outweigh the cons of not.

But, how do we ensure that we don’t let our minds go down rabbit trails or let our emotions get the best of us as we scroll? That’s what we’ll talk about today.

It took 10 marathons before today's guest, Joy Burke, hit her first BQ on marathon 11. Talk about resilience!

Joy lives in Rochester, New York, with her husband and three children, ages 8, 7, and 4. Both she and her husband are neurologists, and she works at the University of Rochester hospital specializing in Neuro-Oncology where she cares for patients with brain and spinal tumors as well as neurological complications of chemotherapy and radiation. She also keeps a general neurology clinic treating conditions like migraines, seizures, Parkinson’s, and neuropathy.

She could have every reason to use this taxing work schedule as an excuse not to train, but she’s learned to fit it all in, and she has quite the story of overcoming to share. I hope you enjoy this week’s interview with Joy!
