"Every next level of your life will demand a different you."
I've decided to resurrect this blog, but I've changed the title to better reflect the next stage of my life, and the new me. When I originally started this, I was a struggling single mom, hoping to share my story with my future spouse. Well, today is my 4th anniversary with said spouse.
I also used this blog as a place to share my struggles with depression, and my journey venturing into the world of triathlon. Little did I know how much both of these things would completely change my life.
On December 3, 2017, I completed my first Ironman triathlon in Busselton, Western Australia, reaching a goal I set for myself 5.5 years ago... to gain mental toughness. Since the race, I've been trying to decide how to share the story. I want to make sure I apply what I've learned to my future, and I want to share it with others to inspire and uplift.
So, my next few posts will be a multi-part series on my story to finishing an Ironman - and beating depression. I hope to write future posts including other people's stories. My goal is for some of these posts to be video vignettes.
I feel strongly that a big part of our time here on Earth should be spent helping each other. With so many people struggling with mental illnesses, I've learned it takes a village to help you stay alive and live your best life, or be your best self.
Here's to kicking depression's butt!
P.S. if you have inspiring stories to share, or know someone who does, please contact me!
