February 09, 2021Ep 45 | How One Mother Runner Cut a Full Hour off Her Marathon Time // Interview with Boston Marathon Qualifier Jen Hayworth
Okay, all you runners. How would you feel if you were able to cut one full hour off your marathon time between your first and second marathons? I mean, seriously, that would be awesome, right?
Today’s guest did just that to qualify for the 2020 Boston Marathon. Now, I will tell you, it wasn’t easy. She struggled even getting into running at all, but suffered a nasty IT band injury in training for her first marathon.
In our conversation, Jen Hayworth shares what changed and made the difference between her first and second marathons, and I think you’re going to be surprised by what she says! We talk about prioritizing training and how she was able to do that with two small kiddos at home at the time, and we touch on just how important mental training is. You hear me talk about that all the time, that training your mind is just as important as the physical training. Today’s chat will prove that once again!
Listen to the full episode to hear:
How she took up running and why it helped her through postpartum depression
How she dropped her first marathon time from 4:30 to 3:31 her second race!
Why you do have the time if you want it and how prioritizing is key
Her mindset of large goals and dreams versus the smaller, stepping-stone goals

February 02, 2021Ep 43 | 5 Key Things We’ve Learned in 15 Years of Marriage // Conversation with My Hubby
We are far from being Marriage Counselors, but we have learned a few things in our 15 years of marriage. Today we have a conversation about the three things we each have learned, and I pray that something in this episode will stand out to you and make your life and marriage better.
We decided it would be fun to come up with our own three things and compare them, so coming into the conversation I didn't know what Josh's three things were, and Josh didn't know what my three things were! Join us in this fun and lighthearted conversation about marriage!
Gabe’s three things:
When we put Christ first our marriage is better
It's not about me (though I want it to be)
I don't really know anything
Josh’s three things:
Your spouse is not meant to be “The One” - God is #1, Spouse is #2
Marriage is always going to take work, but the work is worth it.
We know best how to push each other's buttons. Push the positive buttons, not the negative ones.
Listen to the full episode to hear us unpack each of the things we've learned in marriage!

January 28, 2021Ep 42 | How Back-to-Back Marathons Sealed the Deal for This Mother Runner to Qualify for the 2020 Boston Marathon
The 2020 Boston Marathon was at first postponed to September and later canceled and shifted to virtual due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which was unsettling for many runners who qualified and were left questioning if they would still have the opportunity to snag a bid to the 2021 Boston race.
Thankfully, the Boston Athletic Association is allowing 2020 qualified runners to do the virtual race as well as apply for the 2021 race, but this doesn't guarantee a spot in the historic and sought-after race. In the coming months, I'm bringing a few mother runners on the podcast who would have considered the 2020 Boston Marathon their victory run and dive into their struggle/victory stories and what it took to get them there.
The 2020 Boston Marathon would have been Anat Gotfried's victory run because she thrives off a challenge and wanted a goal to separate her from the ordinary runner. Today we dive into her running journey and talk about the struggles of trying to get the necessary training in while performing all the roles motherhood brings. We even chat about her experience running a marathon 6 months pregnant and postpartum.
It took mental fortitude for her to qualify for the 2020 Boston Marathon. Find out how running back-to-back marathons actually helped her solidify that Boston qualifying time. By the end of this episode, you may just be inspired enough to get up and go and train for your first marathon if you haven't run one already!
LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE TO HEAR
How she met her husband because of the NYC Marathon
How she worked her training around her responsibilities as a mother
What it took for her to qualify for the Boston Marathon and how she controlled the controllable
Why having a coach in her life made all the difference

Life balance is something many moms struggle with - whether they are working moms or stay-at-home moms. It's important to recognize the areas that you are unhappy with and address them before they start affecting all the other parts of your life. Life balance is different for each of us - we have to create it in a way that fits our personalities, family lifestyle, and our goals.

About Pursuing Goals God’s Way: Goal Planning and Business Strategy for Christian Entrepreneurs

From the publisher's feed

Have you thought about finally starting that business now that your kids are older? Do you ever stay awake wondering how to mesh your passions into purposeful work? Do you have big, ambitious goals, but feel overwhelmed or even unqualified to pursue them? Do you desire simplicity and a life without hurry, but you still want to pursue your goals?

With inflation skyrocketing, you may be feeling the need to make some extra money to take the pressure off at home or just to have fun money again, and you’re also ready to make an impact outside your home bubble. Turning your knowledge into an online business sounds like a great side hustle to consider.

But... you don’t want to sacrifice your family time, and you have no idea where to start! It sounds simple enough, but you’re asking yourself if you’re good enough, if you know enough, if people will want what you have to offer, and if you have what it takes to make something like this work for you in the season you’re in.

Well, in this podcast, I will help you clarify your goals and teach you how to use your interests to define your purpose. I’ll help you create systems so you can find the time you need to take action. You’ll learn how to create an atmosphere of simplicity and a life without hurry by setting boundaries, decluttering your schedule and mind, and ditching the distractions so you can finally be present right where you are while growing a successful online business. I have no doubt that you can both make an impact and money all while enjoying what you do.

My ultimate mission is to help you step into the fire of refinement so God can mold and shape you into a woman ready to tackle the vision He placed in your heart. If you’re ready to say yes to what’s next and get unstuck, you’re in the right place.

Hey, I’m Gabe. A wife, mom, writer, runner, and Jesus lover! For years I put my dreams on the shelf thinking I had to sacrifice my own desires for motherhood. I thought I needed to be everything to everyone, but in the process I lost myself. I felt so scattered because I had way too many things on my plate, and I made all the excuses! What I realize now, after hitting a massive goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon, is that my kids need me to pursue my own goals so I can be their best example. They need to see me win - and yours do too!

As a running enthusiast, I believe life is one massive marathon, so if you’re ready to turn your passion and purpose into impact and income all for the glory of God, then lace up those running shoes, pop in your ear buds, and let’s do this thing! Step into the fire with me because I know you will come out stronger.

Topics: simple goal planning, setting goals you’ll take action on, online business strategy, simplified business organization, action taking that works
