🎙️ Episode Title: Scared, Queasy, and Still All In Episode Summary: In today’s episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like to walk through personal growth—especially when it stops feeling fun and starts feeling frustrating. From sea planes to jet skis to tech headaches, I’m bringing you stories from my own life to show that discomfort is not a sign to stop... it’s often a sign that you're becoming. Whether you're learning a new skill, stepping into a new season, or feeling like your nervous system is on fire from doing hard things—you’re not alone. This episode is your reminder that the messiness of growth is part of the journey, not a reason to quit. We’ll talk about: The surprising physical and mental discomfort that comes with growth Why I push myself (and my clients) to do hard things A story about jet skis and fear that I’ll never forget What I do when I want to walk away instead of push through How to stick with it when it feels overwhelming If you’ve ever wondered “Is it supposed to feel this hard?”—this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: Growth often starts exciting and quickly becomes uncomfortable. Discomfort is not a sign something is wrong—it’s a sign you’re stretching. You don’t have to love every part of the process to be proud of yourself. Small tools (like taking a break or cleaning the house) can help regulate your mind in moments of stress.

Description:
On a day when the humidity was off the charts and storms were threatening, Trisha made a small but powerful decision: she changed her route, controlled what she could, and got her run done. This episode uses that story to explore a deeper truth about life, mindset, and growth:

You can’t always control your circumstances—but you can control your response.

If you've been feeling stuck, waiting for better conditions, or using your circumstances as an unintentional excuse—this episode is for you.

You don’t need perfect conditions to take meaningful action.
Small adjustments + consistent ownership = powerful change.

🎙️ Episode 42: Routines As a Tool—Not the Goal
Welcome back to Running to Myself, where we explore how movement, mindset, and real life all weave together into the story of who we’re becoming.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the role of routines in our lives—and how they can quietly shift from being supportive tools to unrealistic measuring sticks. You’ll hear real-life examples, coaching insights, and reflective questions to help you reset your routines in a way that feels aligned and life-giving.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
💬 Why routines are powerful tools—but should never be the end goal
💬 How routine perfectionism can quietly drain your joy
💬 A story from one of the busiest seasons in my life and what it taught me about "essential routines"
💬 What to do when your routines stop working (and how to tell)
💬 Coaching insights on building habits that reflect your real life—not your idealized version
💬 Five simple rhythm resets when life feels too full for structure

Reflective Questions to Consider:
🔹 What routines are actually serving you right now?
🔹 Which ones feel more like pressure than peace?
🔹 What are you holding onto just because you think you “should”?

Takeaway Reminder:
✨ You don’t need to be more disciplined—you need to be more discerning.
✨ Routines should evolve as you evolve.
✨ Simplicity is powerful—and permission to shift is always available.

Episode Title: When the Old Plan Stops Working: What Running Taught Me About Evolving

From race goals to real life, this episode is about evolving with intention and giving yourself permission to grow.

What a 50k trail race taught Trisha about mindset and self-leadership How to recognize when your “operating instructions” are outdated

🧭 Episode Takeaway: Just because something used to work doesn’t mean it still should. Growth begins when we stop forcing outdated strategies—and start honoring who we’re becoming.

Holding Both: When Joy and Pain Show Up Together

In this deeply personal episode, Trisha shares a story from a recent run—one that included a phone call full of good news, a rush of unexpected emotion, and a literal faceplant. Through the lens of seasons and the unpredictable nature of life, she explores what it means to live in a “winter” season, long for “spring,” and still celebrate others along the way.

If you’ve ever felt the ache of watching someone else receive the very thing your heart is longing for, this episode is for you. Trisha reflects on the tension of feeling both joy and sorrow, hope and grief—and reminds us that we don’t have to choose between the two. We can hold both.

You’ll walk away encouraged to treat your own heart tenderly while staying open to the beauty around you—even when it hurts.

“I will celebrate with them and I will hold my own heart tenderly. I won’t pretend my pain doesn’t exist. I will not gaslight myself. My hard season will not last forever—and neither will yours.”

Episode Title: The Power of the Daily: Why Small Habits Matter More Than Big Goals

Episode Summary:
In this episode, I share a personal story from my early running days—how I once needed big goals like races to stay motivated, and how that mindset shifted over time. What started as a means to an end eventually became a life-giving practice, not because of the finish lines, but because of the daily miles.

We’re talking about how small, consistent habits—not flashy goals—are what truly build our wellness. Whether it's your physical health, emotional resilience, or mindset, the quiet things you do every day are shaping your future.

This episode will encourage you to stop waiting for a big goal to get started—and instead embrace the simple power of showing up.

You don’t need a new race, a new goal, or a perfect plan.
You just need to show up today.
The small, steady habits you're building now are creating the life you want later.
