What happens when a single moment of decision on a family vacation transforms into a million-dollar global movement? In this episode of Your Story, Your Why, we sit down with Julie Weiss—author, runner, and widely known as the "Marathon Goddess". Struggling with midlife depression at age 37, Julie went for a barefoot run along the beaches of Kauai, pledging to turn her life around through movement.After joining the LA Roadrunners and overcoming early race-day mistakes, tragedy struck when her father passed away from pancreatic cancer just 35 days after his diagnosis. Channeling her grief into purpose, Julie set out on an audacious mission: running 52 marathons in 52 weeks while working a full-time job. Now at 121 marathons and having officially surpassed her $1 million fundraising goal, Julie shares her "7 C's to Defy Your Limits" and explains why true fulfillment comes from recognizing your inherent worth right now.Which of Julie’s "7 C's" resonated most with you today?
