Run Your Own Race: Life and Career Lessons from Marathon Running

Run Your Own Race: Life and Career Lessons from Marathon Running

In this episode, I’m sharing reflections from completing my 12th marathon and how the lessons I’ve learned on the road mirror the journey of building a meaningful career. From stepping out of my comfort zone to learning adaptability, listening to myself, and trusting my experience through self-doubt, I’ve realized that running has taught me just as much about life and work as it has about endurance.

Whether you’re training for a marathon, navigating a career transition, or simply figuring out what’s next, I hope this episode reminds you that growth takes time,  and to always embrace every version of ourselves. You already have what it takes, it’s just about trusting the process, one step, one mile, and one lesson at a time.

Seasons of Growth: Courage, Strengths, Reflection, and Alignment

Seasons of Growth: Courage, Strengths, Reflection, and Alignment

Season 10 Kickoff!

In this episode, I share personal reflections on a summer filled with milestones, exploration, and lessons on alignment. From reconnecting with a childhood friend and achieving a 15-year professional goal of becoming a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, to facing fears. This season opener is about the power of connection, courage, and purpose.

I also introduce reflection questions to help you check in with yourself on what’s energizing you, where you feel in flow, and how your strengths can guide your next steps.

Join me as I launch a new season of conversations with inspiring people who are designing lives and careers aligned with their strengths and values.

Reflection Questions for Finding Alignment

  1. What activities, projects, or relationships are giving me the most energy right now?

  2. Where am I feeling most “in the flow,” and where do I feel resistance?

  3. Which of my strengths have I been using most often and which ones have been dormant?

  4. What goals or projects am I pursuing because they truly motivate me — and which ones am I chasing because I feel I “should”?

  5. If I could design my ideal day or week, what would it look like?

  6. What parts of my current work or life feel most connected to my purpose?

  7. Are my current commitments moving me closer to the kind of person I want to be, or pulling me away from it?

  8. If I removed one obligation or  project, what would open up for me?
