Do you want to find your “why” in what you are doing?
In this episode, host Christy Pennison is joined by the incredible Lauren Callahan as they explore the power of self-discovery and stepping into triumph. Lauren shares her belief that figuring oneself out can be challenging yet crucial for personal growth.
She emphasizes the importance of staying true to oneself and not conforming to others’ expectations. As they delve into the concept of future identity, they discuss how we can intentionally shape how we want to be identified.
Lauren’s discussion turns to the Ironman race she’s participating in, admitting that she hasn’t trained enough. As she reaches mile 80, she contemplates why she continues to challenge herself with races that are bigger than her. The emotional answer that arises is the understanding that growth and triumph can only come from intentionally placing oneself in uncomfortable situations.
One reason that I love running these long distances is because within a hundred mile race, you can experience the full experience of life. As in I love life, I hate life, I can do anything. I can do nothing.
