In this episode, I talk with Cianne Wallin—a mother of five, marathon runner, and law student at 40—about her extraordinary journey of resilience, faith, and fierce determination. Cianne opens up about becoming a teen mom and putting her education on hold to raise all her children. After marrying and moving across the country multiple times for her husband’s career, her kids are now in school—and it’s finally her turn.We talk about her calling to the courtroom, her deep desire to represent victims who aren’t taken seriously (something she knows about firsthand as a survivor of sexual abuse)Cianne doesn’t pretend to be perfect—she’s honest about her struggles, including managing an eating disorder through running, and how grace and grit keep her going.This is a powerful, layered conversation about learning to love yourself, motherhood, identity, and what it means to finally step into your calling—even if it takes decades.Music we mention:I dreamed a dream - ⁠Les MisérablesGoodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton JohnWhile My Guitar Gently Weeps - BeatlesTo Make You Feel My Love - Garth BrooksAmazing Grace
