Wish I had your confidence but your podcast always helps me. Thanks so much. Yes, I am trying to follow your advice.
? You’ve got this, Katherine. We’re all cheering you on! ?
Your podcast really helped me to slow down and take a real hard look at my life. I needed to break the cycle of trying to do too much and then berating myself for not achieving my self-imposed high goals. Now, I have given myself permission to do less.
Thanks. I know it is an ongoing process and I will need guidance every step of my life. Which I am sure to find here.
It’s wonderful that you see this pattern in your life and are giving yourself permission to do less! We’re here for you and cheering you on, Anna!
I am brand new. Made it thru 3 of the 5 workouts. I tried too hard to do what I used to do as a dance teacher/athlete. Almost three years ago I was in a near fatal head on car collision. My legs were crushed, all ribs broken and intestines damaged. 11 hours of surgery put my right foot back on. I have healed miraculously. Walking workouts have saved my life. But, I am weak as a kitten. Love your wise encouragement. I will need it. Randy
We’re so sorry to hear of your serious accident and for the challenges that has created. How incredible that have healed and are caring for yourself with exercise! We encourage you to give yourself grace and celebrate your wins. We’re cheering you on, both on and off your mat, Randy!
