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!!!

Talkin all things recovery, unhoused, and Veteran mental health support with Benjamin Jeffrey
Benjamin Jeffrey shares his incredible journey thus far. This special human is lifting our unhoused Veteran's up in Arizona. Benjamin gives back working as a VA Liaison/Regional Coordinator/Aliya Health Group partner. What I love about this man is how he's found a way to change the trajectory of his life and those facing substance use, housing, trauma, and system challenging. This conversation will inspire everyone and challenge those who make assumptions of humans facing life's challenges.'
More to come in the future, as our conversation will continue.
