Manage episode 408059954 series 3554395
I remember the moment I realized my cancer journey was far from over; it was when I laced up my trashed running shoes and decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. That's right, join me as I walk you through the transformative shifts in my training regimen, a testament to the power of resilience and the capacity for change within us all. With the Hike Like a Woman group's climb looming in June, I've revamped my approach, and I'm eager to share the breakthroughs that have eased my anxiety and could revolutionize the way you tackle your own mountains—literal or figurative. And since we're on the subject of steps forward, I'm curious—what are your go-to running shoes? I'm in the market for a new pair, and your recommendations would mean the world.
This podcast isn't just about prep for a summit; it's a reflection of a journey with my post-cancer body. I open up about the struggle to embrace my new strengths and the ongoing battle with treatment side effects. But it's also about the reclaiming of my spirit through setting the monumental goal of reaching the peak of Kilimanjaro, which symbolizes my 'cancer finish line.' As I share the insights gleaned from changing 'working out' to 'training' for a purpose, I invite you to consider how language shapes our mindset and actions. Whether you're navigating your own health battles, considering a grand adventure, or simply looking for inspiration to persevere, this episode promises to connect and embolden.
