  • Ep. 6 - Ditch The Old Stories And Run Your Own Race
    Jun 2 2025

    In this episode of the Quest for Meaning Podcast, I share an inspiring personal journey from self-imposed limits to achieving a sub-four-hour marathon. I reflect on childhood labels and stories, like being seen as the 'brainy' one, and how that shaped my life, leading to a transformative quest to rewrite my narrative. My story highlights the importance of questioning societal labels and pushing the boundaries of personal capabilities. I encourage listeners to examine your own self-limiting beliefs and to take incremental steps towards reshaping your reality. This episode emphasizes the power of breaking free from the 'boxes' we are placed in, aiming to inspire others to start their own journeys of self-discovery and achievement.
