As I Prepare for This New Type of Race: Life
from When the Strongest Person I Knew Was Gone — Me · host Jetaime Ribbink
As I prepare for this new type of race — life — my days are filled with searching. Doctor’s appointments, treatments, and endless research become small steps toward hope, even if it’s just a one percent improvement. I think of my daughters often, the bond we share shaping conversations that feel naturally understood, and reminding me why I keep trying. My husband is my anchor, steady in his own way, while I navigate the emotional terrain our girls bring to me. Healing is not a miracle cure but a puzzle of small acts: tea without caffeine, laser therapy, walks with the dogs, even quiet moments in the oxygen chamber. Each piece adds up, reminding me that while my body has changed, my determination hasn’t. I share my story not because it’s perfect, but because it’s real — proof that vulnerability is not weakness, and that even the smallest steps forward matter.🌐 Connect With Me Facebook: @jetaime.ribbink Instagram: @jetaimeribbink X (Twitter): ChangedOvernite YouTube: ChangedOvernite Afripod & Spotify Podcast: When The Strongest Person I Knew Was Gone — Me Substack: ChangedOvernite Medium: When The Strongest Person I Knew Was Gone — Me
