41. Redefining Success & Choosing Your Hard with Beth Probst

In this episode, I am chatting with Beth Probst. Beth is a plus-size, mediocre runner who started running after a few too many mojitos and declaring to her friend's she was training for a half-marathon (she was not). A few months later she crossed the finish line. After a decade of racing, she published her first book: It Could Be Worse: A girlfriend's guide for runners who detest running. In addition to tactical running tips for plus-size runners, this is a story about an ordinary gal redefining what success looks like - and the power of showing up for yourself.   In this episode, we’ll chat about: Changing our relationship with challenging things and discomfort  The identity of being a runner Defining what success looks like for yourself and how “right” can look like many different things The relationship with your body and how there is no arrival, it’s a lifelong journey Doing something messy and imperfect is better than not trying in the first place The power of publicly declaring your intentions to be held accountable and then showing up and making it happen  Reflecting back each day and being aware if you’ve moved one step closer to who you want to be Learning to flex our “no muscle” and turning your default answer to “no” instead of “yes” Find the complete show notes here: https://www.coachkiah.com/blog/redefining-success-and-choosing-your-hard-with-beth-probst Make sure to hit subscribe so you don’t miss out on future episodes.
