Ultra trail running is a new space for me to enter and I am super excited. Why? I keep getting asked, "Why?"
This episode is intended to encourage hope as I share some deep learnings as to "why" I am entering endurance races, at the age of 56. I unexpectedly dug deep into the early experiences of endurance because of adverse childhood abuse experiences and intimate partner violence.
I also revealed how attending Alanon has taught me some important lessons. This amazing social support group facilitated my coming to grips with an understanding that I needed to take care of myself, first and foremost. They reminded me that the actions of others are outside of my control. I did not cause, could not control, nor could I cure anyone’s substance use disorders. After 6 months or so, I finally began the healing process I needed. This, in turn, helped me learn how to support a loved one experiencing substance use issues while detaching myself, motivated by love.
With the understanding that “hurt people, hurt people” I have found the process of forgiveness has helped me heal after years of enduring the actions of others, outside of my control. As someone diagnosed with complex PTSD, I have found that the "forgiveness process" is important to recovery.
The purpose of this episode is to inspire you to take care of yourself, in the event you've put your well-being on hold for one reason or another, like I did without releasing it. This can happen to us humans when our journey results in bumps and stumbles along various paths untraveled. Yes, sometimes we forget our mission and vision during our short voyage here on this planet.
Please feel free to skip this episode that could be triggering for some.
I hope this episode inspires you to move your body in a way that empowers you to show up as your best self every day, as you continue your special journey. You are stronger than anyone knows - perhaps more than you think you are!
Best in health!!!

Keji Moses Founder of Mayah's Legacy and Maternal Health Advocate
My Special guest this week is the beautiful Keji Moses who joins me to talk about her journey as a mother, wife, and founder of Mayah's Legacy, a charitable organization founded in 2020 that empowers women and families to advocate for their needs as they navigate pregnancy and/or pregnancy loss.
Keji is a lovely human residing in Canterbury, England, in the United Kingdom and shares her story of taking a career break and how that became a defining moment in her life! During this time, she explored what it was like to live in a more balanced way, and she noticed some things that would make her feel healthier and happier as a mom, wife, and supportive person doing amazing work as she facilitates conversations and offers services that matter.
Keji's advocacy focuses on a unique combination of empowerment, intuition, and communication as a way to help rebuild lives in truly authentic ways.
We talk about health and the lessons we learn when our health is compromised, the importance of slowing down and paying attention to our thoughts, and the need to prioritize taking time to practice self-care so we can show up as our best self, in a mindful way, for ourselves, our loved ones, and our teammates as we navigate life's ups and downs in a helpful way.
We talk about weight loss journey struggles and how often we receive unhealthy messaging from society about what a so called "healthy weight" looks like based upon outdated unhelpful metrics!
After this honest conversation I feel a calling to do a full episode sharing my opinions, supported by current research, about outdated thinking and measures of different body types as a way to breakdown stereotypes and perceived ideals of beauty and health!!!!
Anyway, we hope you enjoy this conversation and try some of the tips we share that can help you connect with your mind, body, and spirit for health and healing.
Action item set by Keji - this is a super cool one - you'll see.
Keji, thank you for the lovely important conversation and the work you are doing to support #mentalhealth #wellbeing!
Best in health,
Dr. Rhonda Bompensa-Zimmerman
