The bikes had to be returned by 4:40 and we were taking one last lap before getting ready for our farewell beach party. Jesse was jacked up on espresso shots (see previous post ) hitting speed bumps as if they were jumps and way far ahead of me. I always try and keep up with my guys and picked up speed on that last stretch. The sprinklers had recently turned off which was evident by the large pool of water on the pavement. It was 85 degrees so naturally I wanted the refreshing water to splash on me as it had on many other rides that week. I went right through the puddle and as I turned left...
I friggin' fell. Again!
I was so angry with myself and the sprinklers and couldn't figure out why my apple watch was pinging an emergency sos because "It looks like you took a hard fall". You're darn right I did. The worker was next to me asking if I needed a medic before I could even figure out what had actually happened. One of my worst fears is having to go to the hospital in a foreign country. My Stanley had flown off the handle bars and spilled my ice water all over the pavement. I picked up my hat and regained my composure, slightly grateful that he was the only one that witnessed it. My adrenaline was at 110, my knee was building fluid and my shoulder didn't feel right. Son of a...
I wanted to cry but was more filled with rage than anything. I hopped back on the back and pedaled towards Jesse who asked "where'd you go?" "I freakin' fell!", which he was certainly confused as to why I went through the water on pavement. #lessonlearned
Fortunately I have a high pain tolerance and was able to make it to the party AND was well enough to not have to go to the hospital. The nurse at the ortho center said, "let's see how broken you are" and I couldn't feel seen any more than that, lol. I'm grateful there aren't any broken bones and that the "rod and screws are still all intact" in my leg. Oh good. As far as my shoulder, I'll know more after an MRI and am hoping for no partial or full tears. I started at home recovery workouts to keep myself mobile and avoid any long term damage. If you have rotator cuff injury tips and tricks, please do share them! Oh and good vibes/prayers, send those too because this better not be as long and drawn out as my open fracture.
Today's episode is all about the greatest love story of all time! It's my own and I share the beginning and current phase of our relationship that I hope helps you find your own joy and love. We dive into these 5 tips below to help you navigate the challenges of being in a committed relationship.
Remember, resentment ruins relationships! So let's take the steps now to show up better for ourselves and the ones we love!
Effective Communication: Communication is the cornerstone of any successful relationship. Encourage open and honest communication with your partner. Listen actively, express your thoughts and feelings clearly, and be receptive to your partner's perspective. Effective communication helps in resolving conflicts, understanding each other's needs, and building a strong emotional connection.
Quality Time Together: Make time for each other regularly, even in the midst of busy schedules. Whether it's a weekly date night, a weekend getaway, or simply spending quiet evenings together at home, prioritize quality time with your spouse. Engage in activities you both enjoy, share experiences, and create lasting memories. Quality time fosters intimacy, strengthens bonds, and reinforces the foundation of your relationship.
Mutual Respect and Support: Show respect for your partner's opinions, choices, and boundaries. Value their individuality and appreciate their strengths and weaknesses. Offer support in both good times and bad, and be there for each other through life's ups and downs. Celebrate each other's achievements, provide encouragement during challenges, and stand by your partner as a trusted ally. Mutual respect and support nurture trust, loyalty, and a sense of security in the relationship.
Conflict Resolution Skills: Conflicts are inevitable in any relationship, but it's how you handle them that matters. Learn to address disagreements constructively, without resorting to hostility or resentment. Practice active listening, empathy, and compromise to find mutually satisfactory solutions. Focus on resolving issues rather than assigning blame, and be willing to apologize and forgive. Developing healthy conflict resolution skills strengthens the resilience of your marriage and deepens your understanding of each other.
Maintain Individual Identities: While marriage involves merging lives, it's essential to maintain a sense of individuality. Pursue your own interests, hobbies, and goals, and encourage your partner to do the same. Allow each other space for personal growth and self-expression. By nurturing your individual identities within the relationship, you can prevent feelings of suffocation or resentment and promote a sense of fulfillment and autonomy.
By incorporating these tips into your marriage, you can cultivate a relationship characterized by love, trust, and mutual happiness. Remember that every marriage is unique, so adapt these suggestions to suit your specific circumstances and preferences.

Description
Welcome to Digging the Well Before You're Thirsty, the podcast where we explore the power of proactive preparation for personal and professional success. In today's episode, we'll dive into the concept of "digging the well before you're thirsty" and why it's crucial in navigating life's challenges. Join us as we uncover the wisdom behind this timeless principle and learn how it can transform our lives.

Perhaps you missed out on a job opportunity because you didn't network enough, or you struggled to handle a financial emergency because you didn't save for the future.

This week's podcast topic is all about how I’ve been making it at the bars and wineries, sober! If you're interested in switching things up and cutting out the alcohol, this episode is for you. And whatever path you choose, just know you are not a bad person. We are all at different phases in our lives and for me, I needed to take a break from it to clear my head. Literally.
And the truth is, I love going out and meeting new people or running into old friends! Listen in on how I've learned to juggle the shots, late nights, and being around the drunky drunks ;)
ACTION:
I'd love to support you on your sober (or not) journey. Whether it's a temporary thing or long-term. Let me know when you decide to put the pause on the drinks so I can cheer you on... no not cheers you on, lol!
Actionable steps:
Grab a cup of positive it-tea and sit back and enjoy the show. This topic is going to take a bit to unpack because mindset isn't something you can buy and it's not like you can flip a switch and things change. It takes consistent habits to get to where you want and need to be. I want to also be mindful of trigger warnings and that this may stir up some unwanted shit for you. But in order to move past the darkness, we have to shine light on it.
You are like the 5 people you hang around. Take an objective view on those people. Be an outsider for a second. Do you really want to be like that?
We are all wired differently and that's ok. There's no right or wrong way, but if you're listening to this right now, my guess is that you would like to have more of a positive outlook on things.
Let's first unpack a bit of your history… think back to a time when you were younger that had a significant impact on you. Can you think of something negative about the situation? What happened? How did you feel? How did you react?
Use my boss as an example.
Now, this is the piece that often goes missed…. what's a positive that came out of it?
The first key is awareness. Awareness that you're negative. That can be draining to people around you, but to some people who like that can be fueled.
My mom always takes these panicking breaths. You know the ones where you go HUHHHH! You just sucked in all that negative energy and often have never released it. Let the shit go! Blow it out!!!!
Every situation you come across happens for you, not to you. Meaning that person that cut you off on the way to work making you stop on the side of the road and take a break. May have saved you from an accident.
