In this episode, I share the story of completing a lifelong bucket-list goal: the Walt Disney World Goofy Challenge a half marathon followed by a full marathon in just two days. As someone who has never run a race and openly dislikes running, this challenge became far more than a physical test. Battling injury, pain, and the urge to quit, the experience became a powerful lesson in mental resilience and perseverance. This episode isn’t about running it’s about pushing past self-imposed limits, staying focused when things get hard, and realizing that sometimes the biggest breakthroughs happen in the final mile. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your ability to achieve a difficult goal, this story is for you.
