We all face hard things—some we choose, like running an overnight Ragnar relay race, and some that choose us, like the unexpected challenges life throws in our path. In this episode, I share stories from my recent Ragnar experience and unpack the life lessons tucked inside the exhaustion, teamwork, and grit it demanded.

We’ll talk about:

· Why choosing to do hard things builds resilience for the challenges we don’t choose.

· The power of small steps when the finish line feels impossibly far away.

· How leaning on others (and letting them lean on us) makes the impossible feel doable.

· Practical tools to help you face your own “Ragnar moments” in life—whether that’s in your career, your health, your relationships, or just surviving the daily grind.

This is a conversation for anyone who’s ever felt tired, stretched thin, or tempted to quit. Because sometimes the biggest victories aren’t about winning—they’re about showing up, keeping pace, and realizing you’re stronger than you thought.
