Choosing Hard: Why I Started 75 Hard in the Middle of Maycember

May is basically summer's December — and yet I decided to start 75 Hard right in the thick of it. In this episode, I'm getting real about why I'm voluntarily choosing hard things during an already hard season, and what God's been teaching me about mental toughness, perseverance, and preparation. You'll hear about our Maycember chaos (four kids, baseball tournaments, a husband working nights, and a booming wine e-commerce season), what 75 Hard actually is and why I jumped in with zero prep, and a story from a baseball tournament that wrecked me in the best way and reminded me what it looks like to show up with integrity even when you lose. Because if you don't choose hard, hard will still find you. And I want to be ready. Key topics covered: What is 75 Hard and why now?
