Trauma. Life. Business.

We got to the hill and I kinda panicked a little. Yes I held it together for the niece and nephew and family that were with me but sit in my shoes for a second. This is what I fully believed would kill me. Dead. Done. Finished. YES I had done a few runs the week before but not on an actual mountain.

We love to talk about starting strong, but finishing strong? That’s where the real magic happens. Finishing strong doesn’t mean grinding until you’re exhausted or checking boxes just to say you did. It means looking at your year and saying: “Yeah, it was a ride… and I’m proud of who I became through it.”

Life doesn't come with a manual, especially when you're navigating trauma. But one thing I've learned is the importance of embracing the "fight mentality." It's about facing challenges head-on, refusing to be a victim, and choosing to fight for your healing and happiness. This mindset was crucial when I decided to take control of my recovery and not let my past define me.
