There’s a powerful message along the lines of: “it’s not what you go through in life that defines you, but rather, it’s how you react to it that does”. And today’s guest is the epitome of that saying as she has defined herself as one of the most inspiring human beings on the planet.
Today, I had the honor and privilege of speaking with Jacky Hunt-Broersma, who is not only an accomplished ultra-runner, but is also a cancer survivor and an amputee runner who is a world record holder. On top of that, she is also a loving mother and wife. And in the midst of recording this episode, she is currently accomplishing an incredible feat of human endurance: running 100 marathons in 100 consecutive days. So damn inspiring.
In this episode, Jacky shares how she was able to keep moving forward despite all the adversity she’s faced in her life, how to best think about problems when they arise (in both ultrarunning and life), and how she’s able to maintain her discipline to accomplish her biggest goals.
Prepare to be inspired by this one.
